Dallas Cowboys News: Winning in Preseason Has a Price
August 11, 2010 by Matt Lawrence · Leave a Comment
Dallas Cowboys fans are betting that their team can go all the way to winning Super Bowl XLV this season, and to prove their point the team is doing what it can to win any game it plays. But the Cowboys have learned that betting on NFL preseason games is not a wise choice, and their aggressive stance towards the recent Hall of Fame game has had a significant impact on the Cowboys season.
The Cowboys beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-7 in the opening preseason game of the year in Canton, Ohio. But the Cowboys lost one of their starting tight ends for the season in the process. Second-year tight end John Phillips tore his ACL in the Hall of Fame game, and now he is out for the season. The NCAA football betting world was familiar with Phillips and he could have contributed to the Cowboys run to the Super Bowl this season.
As if that was not bad enough, both of the replacement tight ends that came in after Phillips in the Hall of Fame game were also injured. Kevin Brock sprained his ankle, and Scott Sicko left the game with a concussion. Both players are expected to miss the rest of the preseason and may be doubtful for NFL week 1 betting as well.
The Cowboys are looking to bring in more tight ends to help the team finish the preseason, and to find a replacement for Phillips when the bell rings on week 1. The only healthy tight end on the Cowboys roster right now is starter Jason Witten. The second string tight end Martellus Bennett is also down with a sprained ankle.
Also on the Dallas Cowboys injury front is the injury of starting defensive end Marcus Spears. Spears sprained his knee and he is expected to be out four to six weeks. That means he will miss the rest of the preseason and he is doubtful to start in the first game of the regular season as well.
Dallas Cowboys running back, and key member of the Dallas Super Bowl teams of the 1990’s, Emmitt Smith was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame over the weekend. Smith holds the current record for most rushing yards in a career, and he was inducted with the wide receiver who holds the career receiving yardage record, Jerry Rice.
The Cowboys are treating their training camp like a traveling circus this season as they are splitting time between three locations. The team will practice in Oxnard, California, their facility in Valley Ranch, Arlington, Texas and San Antonio, Texas in the course of just under two weeks. Included in that schedule will be their second preseason game as well. The training staff is keeping the team organized and making sure everything gets where it needs to go, but it will be interesting to see if the whirlwind approach to a mobile training camp will have a negative effect on the team when the season starts.
Preseason: Dallas Cowboys vs Oakland Raiders

The Dallas Cowboys will face the Oakland Raiders in their 2nd preseason game of 5 for the 2010 NFL season. The Cowboys defense looked great in week 0 of the 2010 preseason, however the offense was a different story. The Cowboys offensive starters moved the ball down the goal line, however 3 straight passing plays on the goal line lead to a field goal, thanks a lot offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. The Cowboys also suffered a key personel injury, losing TE John Phillips for the season to an ACL tear. Now we will find out just what Marty B is made out, hopefully he has more game than he showed last season.
The Cowboys face a Raiders team that has a familiar face at quarterback in Jason Campbell, the Raiders decided to cut ties with former first round draft pick Jamarcus Russell. Recently the Raiders have drafted players because of there measurables instead of their football iq, something that the Cowboys have finally stopped doing.
I wouldn’t expect to see the starters play anymore than they did against the Bengals, and hopefully we can get through this week without anymore injuries. The Cowboys vs Raiders TV Channel, Tickets, Parking, Time, Location and more are listed below:

Preseason Week 0: Dallas Cowboys vs Cincinnati Bengals

Are you ready for some football? The Dallas Cowboys and the Cincinnati Bengals will meet up at the NFL Hall of Fame game in Canton, OH this weekend. Emmitt Smith will be inducted into the NFL hall of fame, and I am sure he will leave us with som more amusing sound bites.
The Bengals have adopted quite a few ex Dallas Cowboys including Roy Williams, Tank Johnson, and Adam “PacMan” Jones on defense. On offense the Bengals now have both Terrell Owens and Antonio Bryant at WR. I doubt we will see the ex-Cowboys, the starters probably won’t see any field time. You may want to just record this one on the DVR fast forward through it, I definitely wouldn’t recommend scheduling your day around it. Below are the TV times, channel, and kickoff time.

The Dallas Cowboys preseason opponents have been announced for 2010, and yes we will have to suffer through fives preseason teases before we get to see some real football. However, the 2010 preseason will be a little more interesting since the Cowboys will be playing in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, OH.
Another reason you should watch at least the Cowboys 4th and 5th 2010 preseason games is so you know the roster changes, starters, and new faces. This will keep you from looking like a “Nancy Pants” in front of your friends and co-workers on game day.
