On Saturday night, when the Cowboys meet the 49ers for a preseason game, something magnificent will happen. Football players will play, and there will be no holding back. It’s all-out effort with full physical interaction. That’s the only way to really judge a player. Actual game-play. Practices, OTAs, minicamps, training camps, it’s all good for teaching and forming an early opinion, but when the other team is trying to take your head off, it gets real.
Saturday night will give us our first real glimpse of the Cowboys for 2019, and the battles for spots on the 53-man roster will intensify.
