Wade Phillips is calling the Cowboys game Saturday night against the Houston Texans a dress rehearsal, and the offense needs to show some sign of life if they’re going to be on the field for three quarters, as they’ve shown nothing in the first three games.

The Cowboys starting defense has played great in three games this preseason, allowing just seven points in three games, and in the first two, the opposition didn’t score until the fourth quarter.

Even last week while the Chargers moved down the field easily, the Cowboys forced two turnovers, ending drives.

The starting offense was boring in the first two games as they had just a couple of drives in each game, but they were downright horrible against the Chargers.

Romo and company had just three first downs and 49 yards and had the ball for just over six minutes in the first half. The one TD they had was set up by safety Barry Church’s 80-yard fumble return.

The running game has been non-existent, although with all the injuries to the offensive line I’m not too surprised.

However, Phillips said earlier this week that Marion Barber and Felix Jones will see a lot more action in this game, so we’ll finally get a real look at the new and improved tandem.
