Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Romo would stay on the 53-man roster to start the season.

The New York Giants come off of a disappointing 2015 campaign that saw the G-men finish a disappointing 6-10, losing 6 of their last 7 games to finish the season. They’ll be facing a rookie quarterback in Dak Prescott and a rookie running back in Ezekiel Elliott. There are a few teams that will be putting their fate in the hands of a rookie and a guy with only one National Football League snap. I’ve heard good things about him, a very mature, meticulous guy. Top Sports Blog sees that this game has lots of unknowns and could go either way. “Initially, when he had the injury he was pretty immobilized and over the course of the last week or so I just think he’s gotten better and better and better”. Rookie receiver Josh Doctson joined the team, and quarterback Kirk Cousins evolved into a true leader, but he will need to keep the momentum going in order to continue the success. The young QB had that “It” factor that is hard to describe yet sometimes easy to detect.

“I don’t want to rule out anything”, Jones said on his radio show. “We got us a player we hope can win the ballgame for us”.

I was ecstatic when the Cowboys were able to select Prescott in the fourth round.

The bad luck was to the two quarterbacks ahead of him on the Cowboys’ roster. Could this be the start of the Dak Prescott era?

Prescott and Bryant seemed to be gelling together quite well in the preseason. Sometimes what happened in preseason has no resemblance to what happens once the wins and losses begin to count. Make no mistake about it, and I don’t care how you gild a lily. Former teammates rave about how helpful Sanchez can be as a teammate, with all indications being he can bring some stability and maturity to a locker room in Dallas that has seen a lot of turmoil over the past few years. They trust him, and they have a chemistry with him.

They did a better job of containing Griffin later that season, limiting him to less than 250 total yards.

The Dallas defense scares the be-gee-bees out of me. I mean I prepare myself each and every day when I was third string to the way I am now, to put my best effort out there on film, game day, and in practice. McAdoo, who was brought in to replace former head coach Tom Coughlin, has yet to handle the head coaching duties of an National Football League team in his career, however the Giants offense has experience with McAdoo as he was the team’s offensive coordinator the last 2 seasons.
