Game 8: Cowboys 20, Rams 19

Full report  - ramview.com

Postgame report:
What have we learned: We don't know what we've got with the Rams here. At this point they were back to looking like the dreadful Rams from the first preseason game. Sam Bradford wasn't protected well, and struggled accordingly, 6-17 with a passer rating in the 40s. Quinn Ojinnaka and Barry Richardson continue to be blocking liabilities. Demarco Murray ran all over the Ram front seven, AGAIN, and the secondary was a woeful spectacle, giving up 200 passing yards in just the first quarter, with Dallas' offense missing its TOP THREE receivers. Janoris Jenkins was terrible, Trumaine Johnson was awful, tackling was poor. On the good side, Robert Quinn remained a pass-rushing menace, Daryl Richardson lapped Isaiah Pead in the backup running back competition, and Greg Zuerlein continues to bomb away from long FG range.

Player of the game: Really no observations to make on Dallas from this game, because they had so many key starters out and the Rams were so epically bad. 198 yards passing in the first quarter make Tony Romo the easy POTG winner.

Up next: I'll get another quickie up for Rams-Ravens and try to squeeze in a little more Arizona preseason goodness before bailing well short on yet another Preseason Challenge.
