Cowboys coach Wade Phillips wasn’t happy with his team’s effort in Thursday night’s loss to the Raiders.

K David Buehler will play a role on special teams units as well as kickoff, if he makes the Cowboys’ roster.
The backup defensive backs failed to distinguish themselves in the Cowboys’ preseason opener.
Giants wide receivers had a strong day of practice on Friday.
Giants WR Sinorice Moss wasn’t among that group, though, as he missed a third straight practice with a hamstring injury.
Two rookies — T William Beatty and LB Clint Sintim — worked with Giants first team but coach Tom Coughlin said not to read anything into that.
During the morning session, Giants S C.C. Brown stood out with several nice plays.
TE Brent Celek separated his shoulder and T Jason Peters strained his quad during the Eagles’ preseason opener.
Eagles CB Sheldon Brown continued a solid preseason with a strong game on Thursday.
The Eagles sent a letter to their suite and premium ticket holders regarding the signing of QB Michael Vick.

Redskins coach Jim Zorn thought his team was soft during the preseason opener against the Ravens.
Despite re-aggravating an abdominal strain on Thursday night, the Redskins and T Mike Williams remain committed to his comeback attempt.

The 23-0 loss to the Ravens exposed some questions about the Redskins’ depth.
Sheldon is better than Asante. Hands down.
Well rightfully or not, the number 7 is not a retired number on the Eagles. So no one has the right to disapprove or approve of it, imo.
I just wish they gave him # 17 or something so they could call him a wideout on the roster. Poor AJ Feely, I guess the writing’s on the wall.
Sheldon is a shutdown corner, Asante is a highlight pick-6 player who can jump routes but as a result can give up big plays.
Sheldon had only one interception last year, but he didn’t allow a touchdown pass until the NFC Championship game.
