Marc Sessler breaks down 13 things we learned from Saturday's exhibitions. While most of the starters sat out, football's triumphant return also included a few highly anticipated debuts. Conor Orr brings you what we learned from the Hall of Fame Game.
The Hall of Fame Game won't actually feature any starters on Thursday night. But before you turn off the television and take up another activity, we have reasons for you to tune into the action.
The Dallas Cowboys are adding much-needed depth at quarterback. After having one of the best rookie campaigns last season, quarterback Dak Prescott is ready for the Cowboys to challenge him even more with the playbook this year. Charles Haley compared Cowboys standout sophomore Dak Prescott to an all-time great San Francisco quarterback, but not for the reason you might think. Bruce Arians recently gushed over Byron Leftwich's coaching ability. So, which current players could enjoy a second NFL life?
However, we again see a spot where the benefit of a strong offensive line helps the play-caller. They disguise a lot of what they do. At 32 years of age, he is likely to be one of the youngest head coaching candidates ever. His use of pre-snap motion is strong, as is his ability to keep a defense off balance. Someone is going to pick him up. However, one crucial concern regarding Moore is the amount of talent he is working with. Certainly, we can all understand that a job becomes easier when you are provided the best tools to succeed.
Moore certainly bears watching in the second half of the season as an interview candidate for head coaching vacancies. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. We need a guy that can just make the Bears into a Professional Football team first. He has to command the attention of the players the staff and everyone in the building. They need to get it right…. I agree that there are certainly risks with him. Just putting out all the info I can find on him.
I am skeptical about the talent he has to work with in Dallas. But I am also intrigued by how intelligent of a football mind he is.

Moore entered training camp as the backup to Dak Prescott, but undrafted rookie Cooper Rush made an impressive push to usurp Moore from that No. Moore completed 10 of 21 passes for yards and lost a fumble during Saturday's preseason game against the Colts. While offensive coordinator Scott Linehan has full trust in Moore's abilities as a backup QB dating back to their time together in Detroit, undrafted rookie Cooper Rush has badly outplayed the veteran so far in the preseason, showing more arm strength and touch on his passes, and looking like a much better option should anything happen to Dak Prescott.
With the Cowboys already having a roster crunch on the man roster due to the number of suspended players they'll have to juggle early in the year, it's unlikely they'll be able to keep three QBs, so their decision may come down to Linehan's comfort level with Moore's floor versus Rush's clear upside -- and in the NFL, upside almost always wins.
Moore re-signed with the Cowboys on Monday. Moore returns to Dallas after spending all of last season on injured reserve due to a broken leg suffered in August. Now fully recovered from that fracture, Moore is currently positioned as the Cowboys' No. Moore lower leg is fully recovered from the season-ending leg fracture he suffered last summer, KTVB. It's been good. For the last month or two I've been healthy. I've been able to start doing everything as usual," he elaborated.
Moore broke his ankle last August and spent the entire season on injured reserve. However, he appears to have been healthy for a while now and should be fully prepared to hit free agency at the end of the league year in March.
The Cowboys like what they have in the Boise State product, so with Mark Sanchez an unrestricted free agent as well and Tony Romo back destined for a trade or release, Moore likely possesses the greatest odds of returning as Dak Prescott's backup in Moore lower leg was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. They also had three pass plays of more than 50 yards, the most by a team in a game this season. When his name surfaced as a candidate for the Boise State opening, Cowboys players praised Moore, who is only 32 and in his third season as a coach.
He served as the Cowboys' quarterbacks coach in before moving up to the coordinator job. He was a backup quarterback for the Cowboys for parts of three seasons I think he will be a hell of a head coach," running back Ezekiel Elliott said two weeks ago.
He's so smart. He was a smart football player and that was his biggest strength when he was a football player here was how smart he is and his knowledge of the game. And then I'd say probably just his ability to be personable, his ability to motivate. He has a little bit of a different technique, but it still gets the job done and you know I think he'd do a great job being a head coach. One of McCarthy's first tasks as Cowboys head coach last January was keeping Moore as coordinator and playcaller.
He has consistently praised him all season. He's done an incredible job here," McCarthy said after last weekend's win over the Eagles. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Dallas Cowboys. Rams add Beckham Jr.
