Dallas Cowboys Vs. Miami Dolphins Game Recap: Initial Post-Game Notes

Bleacher Report   9/3/10 12:13 AM

The Cowboys did a lot of great things tonight and, although the starters didn't play, they can feel a little more confident heading into the season-opener in Washington. Here are my initial reactions from tonight's game:

Offense

The most impressive player on offense was undoubtedly Stephen McGee. He played sensationally tonight and locked up a roster spot. His arm strength and athleticism were never in question, but tonight he made good reads and got the ball downfield. He stood tall in the pocket in the face of pressure-something he had yet to do on a consistent basis. His 43-yard touchdown pass to Sam Hurd was a thing of beauty.

I also loved the passion McGee displayed tonight. He got in Jesse Holley's face when the receiver didn't run the right route in one play, letting everyone know who was in charge.

Phil Costa had one semi-poor Shotgun snap tonight, but other than that he was really solid again. You don't hear his name much, which is a good thing for a center.

Pat McQuistan is bad. Really, really bad.

Tashard Choice is Dallas' most complete running back. His balance and vision are incredible. If I could only have one back on the team, it would be him. Yes, even over Felix Jones.

Montrae Holland had a poor game. He committed two false starts and got beat on some other plays. He's making fans realize just how important Kyle Kosier is to this offense.

I don't know why the Cowboys don't...
