Philadelphia hasn't allowed a rusher to have more than 87 yards in a game this year, but they have shown a tendency to wear down. Plus Marion Barber and Felix Jones are healthier.

That's a good thing as the Cowboys move forward entering Sunday's game at Philadelphia because he has not had much success vs. the Eagles. In seven games vs. the Eagles, he has 235 yards on 70 carries and four touchdowns. His 3.4 yards per carry is his lowest against NFC East foes. At Philly, he has played in four games with 137 yards on 39 carries but he has scored thre...

"I noticed again today, he's got a little more juice,''Phillips said after Wednesday's practice. "It's an injury where you lose strength.

In the 38-17 win over Seattle, Scandrick broke up two passes and returned a fumble 4 yards to set up a Marion Barber touchdown. Jenkins also broke up a pass. Matt Hasselbeck didn't challenge Jenkins much, a sure sign that he's doing a good job in coverage. "Jenkins and Scandrick, our two sophomore guys - sophomore...

The score came one play after Marcus Trufant got flagged 11 yards for interferring with Miles Austin and six plays after Orlando Scandrick recovered a fumble forced by Terence Newman.

He even said, "I'm not banged up or anything." Hmmm, I thought he is playing with a fractured thumb? We'll see. Running backs coach Skip Peete said the quadriceps injury is something that would linger for a long time. After sitting out the Carolina game, Barber was not the same runner against Denver and K...
