Cowboys vs Broncos Preview
After going at it in joint practices, the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos meet in preseason action on Saturday.
“We got better,” Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said this week’s joint practices per Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “We took a step. You go on the road and play in someone else’s practice environment, things can get chippy. But when you put that to the side and look at the X’s and O’s and execution. We took a step.”
Both teams want to take big steps for the 2022 season. Prescott enters his seventh season with plenty of talent around him such as wide receiver CeDee Lamb. Denver’s Super Bowl hopes skyrocketed this offseason with the addition of quarterback Russell Wilson from Seattle.
Wilson won’t play in the opener according to Mike Klis of 9 News, but the Broncos have plenty on the line with developing talent. That includes snaps for backup quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Brett Rypien.
For Johnson, it’s his 17th team in 14 season.
“Fresh. Grateful. Being in my 14th year, I’m just thankful I get reps every day,” Johnson said via 9 News.
Rypien, the nephew of former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Mark Rypien, also looks to vie for the top backup job. Rypien played in eight games during the past two years.
“Both of those guys are doing a fine job,” Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said via USA Today’s Broncos Wire. “I don’t think anything is solidified. It’s about competition right there. ‘Ryp’ has great days. Josh does great things. Josh, by himself, has game experience. I think he’s as old as me.”
“He’s just a great guy to have in the room either way,” Hackett added. “That’s what you’re looking for in that position — someone that can support ‘Russ,’ support all of us, and not have to practice a ton. He’s seen so much so he can go into the game at any time and play.”
For Dallas, backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush, Will Grier, and Ben DiNucci will vie for positioning on the depth chart. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy likes what he sees in Grier, a second-year quarterback from West Virginia.
“I think Will has made a step. Clearly. I think Will has done a really nice job with his reps,” McCarthy said via Sports Illustrated’s Mountaineers Now. “You can feel the command. I think coming in at the time he came in, the language barrier is always a challenge when you go into a new system like ours. I think it’s clear that he’s playing much quicker and he’s making plays. I do think he has the type of playmaking ability to not only make plays in the pocket but out of the pocket.”
