McGee makes final case for Cowboys' No. 3 QB

McGee makes final case for Cowboys' No. 3 QB: "ARLINGTON, Texas — Stephen McGee may not have won the Cowboys' No. 3 quarterback job Wednesday night, but he didn't lose it, either.

 If the Cowboys keep a third quarterback, it will be McGee. He started and played the entire first half of Wednesday's JV scrimmage of a preseason game against the Dolphins. The Cowboys won, 30-13.

Because the game was played just four days after the third preseason game, and just seven days before the season opener at the Giants, there wasn't anything on the line but the final roster spots. McGee will likely make the cut once again.

It's hard to imagine the Cowboys not having a third quarterback, although with one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league in Kyle Orton, there's always a chance the third QB could be sacrificed for a deficiency in another area.  'via Blog this'

Cowboys 30, Dolphins 13


ARLINGTON, Texas -- Orie Lemon returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown, No. 3 running back Phillip Tanner had a 1-yard score and the Dallas Cowboys finished their preseason with a win over the Miami Dolphins.
A week before playing in the NFL's kickoff game against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, the Cowboys (3-1) kept quarterback Tony Romo and most of their front-line starters standing on the sideline.
Rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the first-round draft pick from Texas A&M already tabbed Miami's starter, was 5-of-7 passing for 35 yards playing the first two series. The Dolphins led 3-0 when he was done.
Miami (0-4) finished its preseason winless under new coach Joe Philbin. The season opener is Sept. 9 at Houston.

Undrafted rookie running back Lance Dunbar had 15 carries for 105 yards, including a 58-yard TD run, for Dallas in the third quarter. Tanner started with DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones sitting, and finished with nine carries for 48 yards.
