For the second straight practice, the Cowboys were in shoulder pads and quarterback Tony Romo has liked what he has seen as they prepare for Saturday's preseason game at Houston.
"We're starting to execute pretty good and I think that's a good sign," Romo said. "Usually how you're practicing has an effect on the game. If that's the case, that is good, we'll be ready to go."
The Cowboys' first-team offense has scored one touchdown in three preseason games and that came off an 8-yard drive.
Romo said the offense has started to narrow down the focus of the playbook to go with what they're going to use in the regular season. But he's more concerned with the smaller picture (play to play success) than the bigger picture (touchdowns)
"I just want to see no mistakes," Romo said. "If we don't score touchdowns or don't get first downs, those are result oriented. Those matter most in the regular season. In the preseason you want to make sure everybody's doing the right things the right away against the right looks ... For us it's about getting into an efficient rhythm that makes you feel very good whenever you step on the field. We've done that at different stages. We just have to go out there this week at a high level."
