KRISTV - Notes from Dallas Cowboys
Associated Press - August 10, 2007 3:45 PM ET
IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas coach Wade Phillips is pleased that the Cowboys had no turnovers in their 23-10 preseason opener against Super Bowl champion Indianapolis.
Penalties were down, too.
But Phillips noted that a defensive one led to the only touchdown for the Colts.
Also:
It seems Matt Moore has a leg up on Richard Bartel in the race to be the third quarterback -- behind Tony Romo.
Moore followed backup Brad Johnson and went 7 of 9 for 88 yards. Bartel was only used on the final series and didn't throw a pass.
Players had to show up to team headquarters today, but didn't practice. They hit the field again tomorrow.
Ex-Cowboy Jay Novacek's visit to training camp seems to be paying off for his successors.
The former All-Pro tight end watched some practices in San Antonio and shared his opinions with ex-teammate Jason Garrett -- who's now Cowboys offensive coordinator.
Novacek later joked that his advice to Garrett was, "Throw the ball to the tight end. Golly, it's so simple."
In Garrett's first game calling plays, the Cowboys did exactly that.
Tight ends Jason Witten, Anthony Fasano, Tony Curtis and Adam Bergen combined for 8 of the team's 20 receptions, and 103 of the 200 passing yards.
