Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Wednesday 22 November 2006 at 5:04 pm
The Buccaneers have to feel good about winning their game last Sunday against the Redskins.  The Cowboys have won 3 of their last 4 games and are surging behind Tony Romo.

The Buccaneers will try to run the football against the Cowboys.  The Bucs ran the ball last week and they need to run well again to keep the Cowboys offense on the sideline and keep the clock running.  Cadillac Williams (619 yards rushing) will be the main weapon the Bucs use against the Cowboys defense which only allows 85.7 yards rushing and 3.6 yards per carry this season.  Look for Bruce Gradkowski to throw a few deep passes to try to take advantage of the safeties of the Cowboys, who are a little slow in helping CBs cover deep passes.  Joey Galloway (38 rec, 626 yards) will be the main threat in the passing game for the Bucs as he returns to Dallas where he started his career.

The Cowboys will look to run the ball early and then have some fun at the expense of the Bucs secondary.  Julius Jones (813 yards rushing) and Marion Barber (409 yards rushing) should have little trouble finding running room against a Bucs defense that allows 121.3 yards rushing and 4.1 yards per carry.  The Cowboys will no doubt take shots deep, early and often against the Bucs defense which is allowing 209.9 yards passing per game.  Terrell Owens (53 rec, 724 yards) and Terry Glenn (42 rec, 534 yards) could have huge games on Turkey Day.

I like the Cowboys big on Turkey Day.

    Good points E.C. I didn’t think it was a good move when the Cowboys first made the switch, but I have to agree with the move now. Tony Romo has had a fantastic run so far. It’s starting to remind me of when Kurt Warner led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory out of nowhere.
