In this one, Romo threw a beautiful pass while scrambling to Jason Whitten leading to their first TD and Hurd making a one handed catch with a pass behind him, was hit, the ball popped slightly free, he got it back with that hand, and tucked hit home while being hit again.
The first half was one of the most lopsided I've ever seen with Dallas dominating, racking up around 25 minutes time of possession against 5 for Tennessee. Despite this, it took a length of the field TD drive (led by a long catch and run by Felix Jones) by Dallas ending with 1 second left to take a 14-10 lead at the half.
Romo looked good in his full half of play as did the Barbarian and Felix Jones. Roy Williams really stood out in this one with good hands and effort. He could really stand out this year if he keeps this up.
The Titans offense looked bad and it really stood out that Kerry Collins isn't going to go out and win too many games again this year for the Titans. He's a game manager and when someone is able to stuff the running game, their offense stagnates. However, the one shining light for Tennessee was the solid play of Javon Ringer, their rookie running back who has continued to impress in the preseason.
As the game wore on in the second half, it was much of the same with the Titans going three and out due to the again woeful play of Vince Young and Dallas dominated the game. Kitna showed that he is a huge improvement behind Romo than what killed them last season, but he is a gunslinger who will have extreme highs and lows.
Where Felix Jones continues to play out of his mind both rushing and receiving, Tashard Choice slipped as he was one of the few Dallas offensive players that did not have a good showing in this one.
A great little pitch and catch there between Kitna and Ogletree for a TD in the 4th quarter on a one handed over the shoulder one handed catch and double toe tap. Another very nice play.
Geez, you keep hearing from the Titans that Vince Young is their QB of the future, but he flat out stinks. I can't see any way that he makes the team next year unless he renegotiates his contract down big time. What else is he going to do, though, nobody else will want him.
People have been really building their stiff arm skills. I saw Chad Ochocinco throw out some great stiff arms the last two weeks. Felix Jones did one earlier and their #4 back Lattimore just dropped someone to the ground with one.
Surprise, surprise, Vince Young just threw a pick. The surprising part was that it wasn't really his fault as the ball got tipped and a LB snatched it up.
That was hilarious. First play after the turnover and the Cowboy's 3rd string QB throws a bullet off of his WR's facemask that shoots up into the air. Two Titans go up for it together and as they hit the ground, the TE throws a shoulder into each. The ball falls forward from their hands into the hands of the receiver it was originally intended for... for a 9 yard gain.
Trying to see if they can 1 up their previously terrible play, Patrick Ramsey, QB for the Titans takes a safety on his first play.
I think right now if you were to put a uniform on me the stupid announcers would claim that from the moment I came in the league that thought I would make a good QB and that they think that at some point down the road I will become a quality QB in the league. It's like they are dolls with the pull string and spout the same gibberish over and over again. BTW - I will get no questions to this claim from my friend Kurt who hates one of these announcers, good ole' Troy Aikmen.
In the end, Dallas doubled the Titans TOP at 41 to 19 and total yards were even more lopsided at 466 to 191 in their 30-10 domination. It has been a long time since I've seen a game that was this lopsided.
