Dallas-Philadelphia Preview Part 1

I figured I would break the Dallas-Philadelphia Preview into two parts maybe three who knows. This is a big game especially for Cowboy fans who want to see some success in the playoffs and not failure. Lets get right to the preview. The first part we will talk about the Dallas Cowboys offense vs the Philadelphia defense.

Last week the Dallas Cowboys were able to protect Tony Romo real well and that was one of the main reasons for the Cowboys success in the game. That must continue this week as well. I look for the Eagles though to change up their blitz scheme so the Cowboys must be prepared for this. One way to slow down the blitzes is to run some draws and screen passes. Getting Felix Jones out on screens would be something I hope the Cowboys would do. Jones has great speed and may be able to break some long runs on Philadelphia defense if they blitz a lot.

Roy Williams is a guy the Cowboys need to have a big game. Most likely the Eagles will try to take away Miles Austin and Jason Witten so Williams should have one on one coverage. He needs to beat this coverage and come up with some big plays for the Cowboys. Last, but not least the Cowboys need to use Marion Barber much better and pound him when the third and fourth quarter arrives. Running the ball will keep the blitzes down and give Romo a better chance of success. The Cowboys offense can be the Cowboys defense best friend. By keeping long drives going the Eagles offense cannot be on the field.
