The Cowboys’ defense held an opponent under 14 points for the second straight preseason game. Especially remarkable was that the Raiders played mostly starters in the first half while Dallas was almost all backups. It was a great all-around effort from Mike Zimmer’s crew, but what especially stood out?
Kneeland’s Ready to Go
Since the draft, a lot of attention has been paid to Dallas’ new offensive linemen Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe. But the guy drafted between them, DE Marshawn Kneeland, is having himself a preseason. On a night when All-Pro Maxx Crosby should’ve looked like a man among boys, it was Kneeland who terrorized his blockers and looks ready to be a key rotation piece for the Cowboys in the regular season.
