The VRR: Cowboys (5-2) @ Eagles (5-2)

How do you defend the hottest receiving threat in the NFC East? Both the Dallas and the Philadelphia defenses could be asking themselves this very question all the way up to the Cowboys @ Eagles matchup on Sunday Night Football.
It could be tough for us, fans, to relax and watch the day games without twiddling our thumbs in anxiety over such thoughts as, "will Miles Austin's touchdown streak continue?" or "can the secondary stop DeSean Jackson?" Certainly, there are many other stories to the game to focus on, but lately it has been the continued emergence of these two weapons that has greatly increased the threat of these teams' respective offenses.
When that first ball kicks off, though, we will forget this week's headlines and get caught up in the hard-hitting, well-balanced contest that this should turn out to be. Playing physically has helped put the Cowboys where they are today. Continuing to do so could help produce on the scoreboard, and better yet, lead to a 6-2 record come Monday.
Can the physical play of Mike Jenkins stop DeSean Jackson? Eagles' safety Quintin Demps says, "no".
"Just be physical," Jenkins said Wednesday. "Go out and hit them in the mouth."
If that means playing press coverage, Jenkins might want to re-think that stance, Philadelphia safety Quintin Demps suggested in a phone interview.
"I've never seen a guy that fast and quick at the same time," Demps, a Roosevelt graduate, said of Jackson. "And he's smart. He knows how to play off of leverage and get off press coverage."
More Cowboys @ Eagles after the jump.

Week 9 Preview: Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Cavalry Has Rescued Dallas AND Philly Lately. Who Gets Saved This Week?

Two bitter rivals, on parallel season tracks. Both opened with impressive wins. Dallas ripped Tampa Bay's suspect secondary. Philadelphia forced seven Panthers turnovers in a walkover.
Both suffered turnoveritis and lost in week two, Dallas in the waning seconds against the Giants and the Eagles in a home shootout with the Saints, who dropped 48 heavy points on their heads. Both suffered painful second losses, with Dallas ending two yards short of overtime in Denver and the Eagles facing the music after an eye-popping and irritating 13-9 loss to the woeful Raiders.
It was the week five games that turned each teams' season around. Dallas found its resolve -- and Miles Austin -- in its sloppy overtime win at Kansas City. The Cowboys got no style points and were abused in the press for "almost losing" to the then winless Chiefs, but the Cowboys level of play has risen dramatically since they escaped Arrowhead Stadium with the W.
Everybody Cowboys fan knows the rest. Tony Romo has regained his zip, the turnovers and penalties have gone way, way down, the pass rush has emerged and the good times have returned, as Dallas has risen from 3-2 to 5-2.
The story is similar in the Eagles' camp. They've patched their mistakes and have also risen from 3-2 to 5-2. Their repair work suggests there is little to distinguish these two teams heading into Sunday Night.

The Cowboys' 'No. 1 Receiver'? All That Matters Is That They Have One
by Mike Fisher on Nov 5, 2009 7:00 PM CST
107 comments
Roy Williams is the fourth-most productive pass-catcher on the Dallas Cowboys, and if the glass is half-full, well, heck ... somebody's got to be No. 4.
We are being inundated this week with mainstream-media panic (not to mention quotes from Roy that make it sound like he's panicking, too) due to what I find to be a collection of disappointing-but-acceptable facts. Example: Roy's 14-catches-of-37-targeted passes is the NFL's lowest ratio.
The numbers are undeniable. But the panic - Williams' quotes qualified him for a breathless lead story on "SportsCenter'' this morning - is unnecessary.
Because it doesn't matter if Roy Williams performs like a No. 1 receiver.
It only matters that SOMEBODY does.

Cowboys @ Eagles Injury Update

From ESPNDallas:
Marion Barber (thumb), Jay Ratliff (knee), Allen Rossum (hamstring), Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb) and DeMarcus Ware (foot) were on the injury report. Only Rossum did not practice, and don't expect him to play Sunday at Philadelphia.
We did notice that Rossum was wearing a practice jersey.
Also, Miles Austin, who tweaked his groin during the Seattle game last Sunday, isn't on the injury report.

Cowboys @ Eagles: This Is Why We Watch Football
by Dave Halprin on Nov 5, 2009 9:34 AM CST

Remember that clip of film with Bill Parcells on the sideline talking to his team late in a game? He's yelling encouragement. "This is what you work all off season for. This is why you lift all those weights. This is why you do all that (stuff)."
That's the speech someone should give to all of us Cowboys fans this week. This game against Philadelphia is why we do all this stuff. It's why we scour for every tidbit of information during the free-agency period, why we spend a whole weekend staring at the TV watching a guy read out names in the draft. It's why we suffer through the doldrums of the summer when only an occasional OTA slakes our thirst. It's why we follow training camp like our lives depended on it.
We do all that waiting for games like this one. Two bitter inter-division rivals, playing quality football, with matching records of 5-2, meet to grab first place in the NFC East at the midpoint of the season. What could be better than that? Oh yeah, stick it on a Sunday night so the whole football-watching world can check it out.
To paraphrase another old dude - this game has all the makings.
