The hiring of Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was met with a lukewarm reception, but he appears to be set up for success more than NFL fans think.

TE Rivaldo Fairweather** - The big-sized tight end out of Auburn had big moments in the preseason, including impressive one-on-one catches over defenders. It won't be easy for him to make the 53-man roster but he's a promising project with upside.

Over the next few plays the Falcons got within scoring range and had to settle for another field goal attempt. This time Younghoe Koo was good and Dallas’ lead shrunk. 14-3. The Cowboys could not get much going when they got the ball and again and punted for the first time on the night.
