What the Eagles are saying about Cowboys' WR Miles Austin:
"I told our guys here about a year back, ‘This guy right here, in the next year or two, he's going to be one explosive guy,'" (Andy) Reid said. "They asked, ‘Why?' He's fast, knows how to run routes and is great after the catch — even in his limited role before he showed those things. Now he's doing it all the time."
The Eagles are expected to stick ball-hawking cornerback Asante Samuel on Austin. Samuel has a team-high five interceptions.
"He's a heck of an athlete," Samuel said of Austin. "The biggest challenge is that he has a big lower body. And that's how he breaks through those arm tackles and goes the distance. So you just have to make sure you wrap him up when he catches the ball."
