“I’m thinking go win the game”. After all, the Cowboys have only one win in the last 15 games that their No. 1 quarterback hasn’t started. The important aspect is that after a preseason of cloak-and-dagger play-calling and personnel groupings, every team’s identity is not imprinted on the video that the other 31 coaching staffs will be scouring.

Prescott said that Dez will be involved much more on Sunday, but Cowboys won’t force the issue. Tom Coughlin preached to the Giants to finish last season, and that is what they did on Sunday. After an incompletion to Witten on second down, the Giants played the sticks on a completed pass to Witten on third down and held him four yards short of converting.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is elated to have Victor Cruz back.
Cruz’s touchdown made the decision irrelevant, but it’s interesting that McAdoo was going to go for it. Dak Prescott looked good for being a rookie QB.
The salsa is back, and the New York Giants finally finished when the Dallas Cowboys failed to stop the clock in the final seconds.
Casillas said the Giants did nothing right in the loss to the Saints in New Orleans last season. In my mind, I was just trying to get a first down and then dive out of bounds.
If Prescott is going to be the man, the offense has to open up.
“It just wasn’t a good showing”. After all, it’s only one game. But with him in the slot and Beckham and Shepard on the outside, the Giants might have the best wide receiving corps in the National Football League this season.
Prescott was the talk of the game before and during the first half. Not only did Elliott get 20 carries, but backup Alfred Morris got seven carries and Dak Prescott even got a couple of carries on his own.
Counting a last second field goal by the Carolina Panthers, the Giants lost 6 games previous year in the fourth quarter. “I didn’t want it any other way”, he said. “That should happen more times than not”. They got a couple of matchups on safeties against the Giants with Dez one-on-one.
“Drew’s intangibles are immeasurable”, Casillas said. There’s no reason for the guys to get down.
“He doesn’t play small”.
Rookie head coaches always make mistakes, but thankfully McAdoo has been around this team for a few years. He is such a cerebral player. Manning tried to get the ball to Odell Beckham Jr. on the first two plays, only to watch both throws fall incomplete. “It’s fun to play in those games”. But, we are talking about one of the best Wide Receivers in the game, and he needs to perform better. “It’s fun scoring touchdowns and having a lot of excitement but obviously you would like to get the W, it would mean a little more”. He laughed when asked about carrying the ball.
