While it seemed originally like EJ Manuel was going to run away with it after training camp and the first preseason game,
Womens Jake Rudock Jersey Connor Cook apparently grabbed saw the momentum turn in his favor a bit.
As Eddie Paskal of the team's official website reported, head coach Jack Del Rio pointed out that Cook got the edge in last week's game after the night was wrapped up.
“I thought he played better than EJ[Manuel],
Authentic A'Shawn Robinson Jersey, and I think tonight Connor was better in the backup role. Either one of them weren’t as sharp as they were the first time out. So,
Womens Graham Glasgow Jersey,” said Head Coach Jack Del Rio postgame. “They’re obviously in a battle for the backup spot,
Authentic Laken Tomlinson Jersey, there are a lot of different factors that go into it, but I thought Connor played well tonight.”
But, as offensive coordinator Todd Downing stated,
Authentic Graham Glasgow Jersey, the competition is apparently pretty close.
“It’s a great competition,
Womens A'Shawn Robinson Jersey, but the both have progressed so much in this offseason,
Authentic Jake Rudock Jersey,” Downing explained. “The cool thing is both those guys have approached it with such a great attitude. They’ve both taken strides and at times one guy has taken a bigger stride than the other,
Womens Laken Tomlinson Jersey, this camp. It’s going to be fun to see how it goes down the stretch here.”
This third preseason game could be make or break for one of these two players,
Authentic Bart Starr Jersey, and both Manuel and Cook will look to take full advantage of whatever reps they wind up getting against the Dallas Cowboys.
