Bottom line: The Cowboys are 3-0, and have played two opponents (the Eagles and Packers) possessing offenses that are vastly superior to Washington's offense.

Dallas completely stymied the Packer offense, and shut down the Eagles offense in the second half, when they gained a paltry 108 yards and scored only 7 points.

Unless the Cowboys commit numerous mental blunders, Washington poses little threat from an offensive standpoint.

Cooley is a Cowboy killer and typically, Dallas doesn't fare well defending the TE...As has been pointed out, Cooley will have to be focused on

We have Zach Thomas, not Akin Ayodele, plus Henry is covering TEs in these packages. We haven't been burnt this year by any tight-end... We played against Smith and Winslow... We also played against GB, who uses plenty of 5 WR sets...

The Commanders passing game will not be a problem... Chris Cooley will not be a problem...

Oh yeah, and Spencer is back... And Holland is going to be playing, which means the Commanders will probably be gassed by the third-quarter. Barber and Jones should be racking up all sorts of yards in the second-half.

I like Zach in there too but let's not forget this is Cooley the Cowboy killer...And Winslow caught just about everything thrown his way which was what, 5 or 6 passes?...Lee in GB got a few first downs with his catches too...It's not that simple IMHO...It'll be a concern

Thats was last year this is a new year. Roy is not playing, Watkins is better in coverage and in the Dime Cooley will be covered by Henry.

I'm not. WInslow was shut-out in the second-half, once adjustments were made. A lot of passes that players were catching were a result of QBs escaping pressure. Spencer is another dimension that will raise the level of pressure on Campbell...

Dude that was reported all over the DC media area last year. In the Times, Post, Blogs..........at one point they were talking about how they were only using a tiny fraction of his playbook due to the inability of Campbell to grasp it. My oh my how we have a short memory.
Well, since it was apparently everywhere, feel free to provide a link.
