Cowboys vs Redskins Preview



When the Dallas Cowboys play the Washington Redskins this game is not like it use to be. Yes these two teams still have a rivalry, but not like it use to be. The Washington Redskins have struggled the last few years and even the Dallas Cowboys are not the same team they have been in recent years. Lets take a closer look at this game and what I would like to see the Cowboys do.

The Cowboys need to start to run the ball on a more consistent basis. They key is getting Marion Barber and Felix Jones more touches. Unless the Cowboys start to run the ball better then more pressure will be put on Tony Romo. By running the ball you will be able to open up the offense a lot more. Roy Williams also needs to be a big part of the offense and one way to do that is to get him early touches and that will keep his head in the game.

Defensively the Cowboys need to pressure Jason Campbell as much as possible. Campbell in recent years has had good games against the Cowboys defense so he will have a lot of confidence going into the game. He does not seem to make good decisions when you put pressure on him. Shutting the running game down is also something the Cowboys will need to do.

My prediction is the Cowboys should have no problem winning this game. I like the Cowboys by a 24-14 score. The Redskins have struggled all year long and I look for that to continue in this game as well. Unless the Cowboys turn the ball over a lot they should have no problem with the redskins.
