McEvoy has made some big plays this preseason, including catching a 43-yard bomb from Wilson against the Cowboys. “I think it’s a chemistry thing, feeling each other out”.

While his production was nice to see, what really impressed was his physical play. They would be pondering whether they would give Prescott the opportunity to prove he can lead the team and be the future of the franchise. At the wide-receiver position they have two solid options with Agholor and Jordan Matthews and recently acquired Dorial Green-Beckham from the Titans, a talented player with an attitude problem. The variety of weapons Dallas has will make defenses have to get creative to account for the various threats. They’re confident and they should be. That same energy comes with him in many different ways.
Therefore, Morris doesn’t see it as much of an issue that Elliott missed the better part of three weeks.
But Romo says he’s ready after his most productive off season since 2012 and a strong training camp.
“He had a great week this week”, Carroll said in an interview on KJR-AM on Tuesday.
“But in terms of from the day he’s walked in the door, he’s shown a lot of unique intangibles, I think rare intangibles, in terms of his leadership, his people skills, his ability to lead”. You don’t know what you’re getting from Rawls or Graham, you can’t trust Wilson or Doug Baldwin to produce as long as the offensive line is in flux and even the defense is an iffy bet because they won’t rack up the sacks.
I keep getting asked from guys outside of Seattle if Michael is going to become the starter and be like Marshawn Lynch was for fantasy football. “You can never have that many running backs”. “You’ve just got to take a look at the bigger picture. But if it was a full game, it would have been a bloodbath”. Playing behind the first-team offensive line in the first half, the rookie completed 15 of 19 passes for 106 yards with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten on his second series.
Then, there’s Givens, 26, who had his best National Football League season as a rookie with Sam Bradford in 2012. “He hasn’t had his preseason debut yet, so it should be a fun one for him”.
For the most part, I don’t foresee Romo playing very bad or anything of that nature.
“Talked to Cowboys staff: Romo “tweaked” back on play. And that I’ve really put in the work and the time to do all the things that I need to do and be in the right place all the time”.
It was in a 2006 preseason game in Seattle that Tony Romo had his coming out party. In 17 snaps, he’s been targeted just once and doesn’t have a catch.
Cowboys: Prescott is 39 of 50 for 454 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in his three preseason games. He just wants to focus on himself.
“That’s on them if they want to throw “vanilla” or whatever they want to throw at me, ‘Rocky Road, ‘ or whatever you want to say”, the 23-year-old former Mississippi State standout said.

That left McDaniel to start, an indicator he should have a good chance to make the team after working out for the Seahawks earlier this month just because he already happened to be in Washington on vacation. The Broncos are on a run of just 2-8 ATS when favored at home in August, and seven of those games went over the posted total.
