Hi, I am posting today about a great pre-season game yesterday. Here are the highlights:
-The Cowboys are normally a top 5 team in the league, but last year they went 4-12, one of the worst seasons in franchise history. It was because star QB Tony Romo got injured week 2, finally came back around week 10 and then played one game and got re-injured the next game, giving the Cowboys tied for their 2nd worst season in franchise history. Now Tony Romo is back and on his 3rd play of the night he tried scrambling and got hit hard in the back and was down. Romo lay on the ground, a hand on his back, officials ran to him to see if he was okay. He finally got up and walked to the sideline, Romo is ok but he will not play any snaps the rest of the pre-season. How will he be in the regular season.
-Top Offensive Rookie of the Year predicition, 4th Overall Pick in this years draft, running back Ezekiel Elliott made his debut. He was a beast. He had some great blocks to give QB's Tony Romo and Dak Prescott more time in the pocket and he had some runs that made it to the outside, he rushed for 48 yards on only a fe carries and he started a rivalry with one of the leagues (if not the hardest) hardest hitters, Kam Chancellor but played well through it. When Kam put his head down to hit Elliott, he hit him right back and kept running. This was surprising because Ezekiel did this multiple times and no one can really do that to such an elite defender. When Zeke came out I started getting texts from my friends in my fantasy league asking me what for Ezekiel?
-Cowboys rookie backup QB Dak Prescott played amazingly AGAIN! When Romo got hurt Dak came right in and was great. I can see Dak as the future of the Cowboys QB even maybe after just one more season considering how injury prone Tony Romo is. If Romo gets hurt this season, the Cowboys won't still have one of the worst seasons in their franchise history, but they will have Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott to hold down. One more injury for Romo and Dak will get the starting nod is my thoughts.
-Seahawks breakout running back Christine Michael wowed again. He was explosive as usual and got many yards. Rawls is supposed to be the starter but coming off of an injured season and having not played one snap yet this year, will he be able to hold off Michael from the starting job. We'll have to see. Rawls could be playing next week as most of the starters do in the final week of the pre-season.
Thanks for reading!
