The Dallas Cowboys head into Preseason Week 2 looking to continue the progress gained in week one. Here are three things to watch for on Saturday.

The Dallas Cowboys are heading to week two of the preseason. Game one left a lot of questions to be answered. But it also showed off some of the young talent the Cowboys have added this off season. Heading into week two, Cowboys fans should be excited to see the team further progress.

With the Cincinnati Bengals coming into town, how will the Cowboys hold up? The Bengals play in a very tough AFC North division. That division plays an in-your-face style of football. This will be a great test of where the Cowboys are mentally as well as physically. Can they hold up in the face of the trash talking and extremely physical play?

Conversely, this is exactly the style of play that the Cowboys employ. Although the Cowboys offensive line has been visited by the injury bug, they are still looking to crap the ball down the Bengal’s throat come Saturday night. It will be fascinating to see who can impose their will on the other.

There are still three burning questions that need to be addressed this week. First, will Randy Gregory play? If so, what will that look like? Second, how will the improve wide receiver group hold up against a very good Bengal defensive backfield? Third, will the Cowboys’ open up their offensive more? They started to open it up in Week 1, but will that continue against the Bengals?

Let’s look at each question separately.
