The entirely revamped secondary of the Cowboys looked pretty good against the Houston Texans with two picks Friday and no bad burns. The rest of the defensedid a pretty good job containing Houston.
The first team offense is still sputtering, though the seven play 80 yard drive was a very good sign of the offense's potential. If the offensive line settles and they buy Bledsoe some time and we should see more drives like that one. However, the turnover by Houston right before the half yielded no points despite moving the ball down field. Confusion on third down right before the clock expires and Dallas misses the field goal. Memo to Bledsoe: When counting to four, don't include your thumb.
The Dallas Cowboys promotions department is already at midseason form. The Cowboys have a pizza promotion contest with Papa John's Pizza everyone will want to enter. Prizes include:
Six (6) TV Watching Parties for up to 20 people with free Pizza & Pepsi. Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders & Rowdy will deliver (6 winners).I understand in Green Bay they have a similar promotion. Mike Sherman delivers a bratwurst while wearing a cheerleader's costume.
