Rookie Dak Prescott looks like Cowboys’ answer at backup QB

Los Angeles Rams minus-5 vs. Dallas Cowboys: $550 to win $500: I hate laying such a big number in an exhibition game because these are mostly meaningless exhibitions.

After 22 years the Los Angeles Rams have come back and as they play against the Dallas Cowboys for their preseason match, it will be a literal throwback for the Rams as they will use their old uniform.

Whitehead caught the kick by Greg Zuerlein in the end zone, broke free through the middle and ran away from the Rams’ coverage. They moved from L.A.to Anaheim after the 1979 season and stayed in Orange County until moving to St. Louis in 1995.

As long-awaited sequels go, “Episode 50: Return of the Rams” opened in blockbuster fashion, even if the script didn’t quite go the way the live audience of almost 90,000 probably anticipated. I’ve heard people say there might be as many as 80,000 or 90,000 people at the game. The drive stalled after an incomplete second down pass to wide receiver Pharoh Cooper, followed by a sack on third down.

Fisher said Goff has a sore non-throwing shoulder after the hit he took on the second-quarter interception, but that Goff is fine.

Goff made his pro debut with 9:45 remaining in the second quarter, and although head coach Jeff Fisher had indicated he would play into the second half, Mannion replaced Goff to start the third quarter. On his second drive, there was some daylight, as Goff hooked up with fellow rookie tight end Tyler Higbee three times for 35 yards. Cameron has been a longtime National Football League fan, but is now a newly adopted Rams fan and holder of many season tickets.

Last season, Keenum threw for 828 yards and four touchdowns by making 60.8 percent of his passes in six games. Both of them will get a chance to flash what they bring to the table against the Rams. Numerous almost 90,000 fans who had packed the Coliseum had left by the time Rams quarterback Sean Mannion hit Aaron Green for a 9-yard touchdown to give the Rams a 28-24 comeback win. In the receiving end, Terrance Williams had 840 yards and three touchdowns in 52 receptions while Jason Witten added 713 yards and three touchdowns in 77 receptions.

Of the 10 passes they completed in the first half, only two went to wide receivers.

Known more for his dual-threat capabilities than his pure passing skills, Prescott dissected the Rams defense with near-surgical precision on Saturday, completing 10 of his 12 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns, with no turnovers.

“The best thing about Dak is that he is extremely calm”, Bryant said. “It’s like he’s been here before”. While Tapper is only a rookie, many people believe that he has all the tools to be an impact player in the NFL. “He is going to be very good; he’s special”.

While the Cowboys fans aren’t going to see much of rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, nor veterans Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden, they should see plenty of Jackson.
