Grizz: More post-game thoughts
More post-game thoughts on Cowboys preseason win

Here are some other thoughts that didn’t make it to my post-game article last night.
I thought JJ also played well; he just didn’t get that many opportunities last night, but moved the ball well when he did in the first couple of series. So I have no complaints about the job JJ/MB3/TT did in the first preseason game. Even Battle showed a little something at the end. Arguing one outplayed the other and should be the starter is premature at best, it’s driving agendas at worst.
The kicking battle is going to be a fun one to watch. It was just about as even as it was at TC. Gramatica was true on his kicks and also hit the endzone a couple of times on kickoffs. Folk made his kick and hit the endzone once.
Shango and I noted in one of our post-practice videos that the TE’s were getting open on intermediate and deep routes in a lot of the practices. I think you saw that again tonight, the Cowboys like the TE position in this offense.
I was impressed with Matt Moore, he showed more than he had at camp with poise in the pocket. Maybe the guy is a gamer. But...I’ve seen a few Cowboys fans suggesting he should take over for Brad Johnson as the backup. Really? A guy who has never played a real NFL game in his life, who basically had one good series where he threw three passes to a TE who didn’t even have a defender in the same area code and was playing against 3rd-stringers, should be the guy that is one tragic play to Romo away from starting games for us. People, its one preseason game, let’s not get crazy.
