11 MINS AGO - There will be a million storylines to come out of this preseason win in Hawaii, and all of them are worth discussing. But it’s plain and obvious that all of them are lagging behind what could only be described as the Tony Pollard Express. Collapse

1 HR AGO - Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images We have Cowboys touchdowns to report! With touchdown drives by both their starter and the apparent leader in the race to be the primary backup passer, the Dallas Cowboys got their first preseason win of 2019 by a score of 14-10 over the Los Angeles Rams in Hawaii. The win doesn’t matter, and it was for the most part a typically sloppy performance by both teams, but it still was nice to see it end up that way. And very importantly, there was only one known injury for Dallas, to linebacker Chris Covington’s shoulder on the opening kickoff. The severity is unknown. The Rams elected to play essentially none of their starters at any time in the game, while Dallas used their available first teamers to open the proceedings. As you might expect, the Cowboys were noticeably better during the first quarter as a result - but the starters and key backups who did see action for them all looked quite good, which is never a bad thing. The starting offense Collapse

2 HRS AGO - Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports Another score! The Dallas Cowboys scored a touchdown in the preseason for the first time this season on Saturday night, and what do you know? They doubled their scoring total! Late in the third quarter after Cooper Rush had come in at quarterback, and looked good while doing so, he had the Cowboys knocking on the door near the endzone. It was at that moment that Rush looked for someone who’s been impressing all throughout training camp... wide receiver Devin Smith. Cooper Rush to Devin Smith touchdown This. Is. Beautiful.

Smith has had more of a challenge ahead of him in terms of making the final 53-man roster, but showing up throughout the preseason is a great way to get noticed. This is a fantastic throw by Rush and great awareness by Smith to get Collapse

13 HRS AGO - Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The unknown tight end is trying to give the Cowboys something to think about. For players on the fringe of making the roster, preseason games are all about creating the most of any opportunity given. When someone goes down for whatever reason, it is a chance for an unknown name to step up. Dallas Cowboys’ tight end Codey McElroy is going to get his chance Saturday night. The Cowboys thinnest position right now may be the tight end spot. Blake Jarwin (sprained foot), and Dalton Schultz (sprained ankle), both missed practice last week and have a decent shot at not playing much in this week’s game. Not to mention their starter, future Hall of Famer Jason Witten, is 37 years old and requires taking some veteran days off at camp. Dallas is so thin at the tight end spot they had to sign former Missouri Tiger Marcus Lucas late this week just to have enough bodies to get through the game this Saturday. Now injuries are every team’s worst nightmare during Collapse

17 HRS AGO - Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Information on the Dallas Cowboys preseason game, including the game time, TV channel, how to stream the Cowboys-Rams game online, radio, odds, announcers, predictions, and more! The Dallas Cowboys have finished up the portion of training camp out in Oxnard for the 2019 preseason. That’s another important milestone in reaching the start of the regular season. Now they are out in Hawaii as they take on the Los Angeles Rams in their second preseason game. This is a rematch of sorts as the Cowboys last game from last season was a playoff loss to the Rams. Both sides will be sitting many regular starters either for safety reasons or because they are injured. But the down-the-roster guys will be out there giving it everything they got in order to secure a spot on the final 53-man rosters. Enjoy!

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Dak Prescott really stepped it up last year despite scheme-related challenges. In case you missed it, Robert Mays of The Ringer wrote a pretty incredible longform article on Kellen Moore and the changes he’s bringing to the Cowboys offense. It covers a lot of things that are evident to those who watch this team especially closely, but there are a few fascinating nuggets of information unearthed throughout. For example, Mays breaks down how the Cowboys offense in 2018 was significantly below the league average when it came to pre-snap motion, something Moore seems to be utilizing more of: Under [Scott] Linehan in 2018, Dallas utilized pre-snap motion on just 31 percent of its plays, according to Sports Info Solutions. That figure ranked 24th in the league and was well below the NFL average of 36.6 percent. The Cowboys’ static approach, replete with passing concepts that often featured the receivers executing the same route combinations on Collapse
