    Anthony Spencer, the Cowboys' No. 1 pick, has made two preseason starts, registering only one tackle. But the rookie is showing progress in his development in moving from defensive end to outside linebacker. On Saturday night, Spencer displayed good pressure skills. He forced Denver quarterback Jay Cutler to scramble out of the pocket and hurry a pass to the back of the end zone. Spencer said he's still learning the pro style of playing on the left side as an outside linebacker. In college and high school, he mainly played the right side of the defensive line.In coverage, Spencer tipped away a Cutler pass that was completed anyway.

    I hope so. I have watched the first two games a few times over. He has his moments, but it would be nice to see him make a few plays

    Another game goes by. Another game with no tackles by Spencer. It's starting to worry me pre-season or not. 3 games started not even an assist on a tackle.
