LONDON – They’re running at a different time than usual, because of the time change, but here are my final thoughts for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
From everything we’ve seen this week, it looks like the relative health of the Cowboys should be much better than what we saw last week back at AT&T Stadium.
Without further ado:

LONDON – They’re running at a different time than usual, because of the time change, but here are my final thoughts for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
From everything we’ve seen this week, it looks like the relative health of the Cowboys should be much better than what we saw last week back at AT&T Stadium.
Without further ado:
- I fully expect Tony Romo to be fit and ready to go on Sunday. I’ve been hearing that his practices have been exceptional and he is once again back into that rhythm where he was before the injury. For an offense that struggled against the Cardinals last week, he will be a welcomed sight in that huddle on several levels.
- Jason Witten gave us a little insight this on week what we should see game plan-wise with his comments of returning to what they are. Look for a steady diet of not only DeMarco Murray but Lance Dunbar and Joseph Randle, as well. With this being the last game before the bye and several potential cold weather road games on the horizon, getting back to that physical style of running the ball is going to be necessary pushing forward.
- If I am Rod Marinelli and this defensive staff, I would have to be a little nervous with the loss of Rolando McClain and Tyrone Crawford in the middle of that defense for this game. I would also be concerned with a physically banged up Nick Hayden, as well. One of the major reasons why teams have struggled to run the ball has been largely due to the play of those three and how physical they are at the point of attack. It will be on Terrell McClain and Anthony Hitchens to fill that void of McClain and Crawford with the hope that Hayden can somehow fight his way through the game and contain Denard Robinson and this underrated Jaguars rushing attack.
