Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory has had one of the best starts to preseason for the 'Boys.

In his first two games, Gregory has collected two sacks and two tackles for a loss with a couple other missed opportunities because of holding penalties called as a result of his brilliant pass rush. Gregory has been making a name for himself early.

“It’s what they brought me in for, I think,” Gregory jokingly said after Sunday's game. “Obviously, I want to be the best overall player I can be – well-rounded and working on the other aspects of my game. But for the most part, I think I’ve done a good job with what they’ve asked me to do.”

The second-round pick might just be doing a little better than expected. In the preseason game against the 49ers, Gregory used some speed and quickness to get by Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley for a sack.



“I thought I’ve done a good job of that so far, but I’m never satisfied with my play," Gregory said. "I’ll look back on film and see some things I’ve got to work on. That’s the main thing about getting better as a player – going back on film and breaking down your game, breaking down what the left tackle did, what the guard did, things like that and getting better from there.”

There's definitely a lot to like out of Gregory who has certainly shown he can play with the big boys of the NFL. Gregory's conditioning and playing weight were concerns when he was working out with the Cowboys during the summer. Now it seems like he's the most game-ready defensive lineman the Cowboys have.

Gregory will get another test this Saturday in the team's third preseason game. The Cowboys take on the Vikings on Aug. 29 at 6:00 p.m. CST.
