IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Tony Romo is already talking about the preseason in past tense. Romo doesn't expect to play in the Dallas Cowboys' preseason finale Thursday night at home against Minnesota. Instead, the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback is focusing on the season opener at Cleveland.
He said today -- quote -- "The juices are flowing just because the first game is coming. Yeah, I thought we had a really good preseason. We're excited about our execution."
In their most extensive action of the preseason, Romo and the starting offense had 266 total yards in the first half against Houston on Friday night. Romo was 15-for-19 passing for 166 yards with a touchdown, and Marion Barber ran 13 times for 75 yards.
While Romo played only three series the first two preseason games, he said the depth of returning experience and their time at practice during training camp has them where they need to be in preparation for the September 7th opener.
