There was in interesting stat on NBC Sunday that that Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan went 8-for-8 and two touchdowns against Chicago in the hurry-up offense.

So guess what the Cowboys are preparing for this week? Atlanta's hurry up. There are even signs up outside the locker room pertaining to the Falcons' quick tempo offense.

Coach Wade Phillips claimed to be unaware of the signs.

"I don't know if it was me or not," Phillips siad. "You mean about being unstoppable? I don't know who put thyat up there. I kind of know the reason."

Anything to motivate the team. But coming off the bye week, Phillips has some worry about the timing being off on both sides of the ball. To help them, Phillips had the defense work against the hurry up and they worked in two-minute drills on both sides of the ball.

"If they substitute you can substitute, so usually you have the right personnel you want against whatever theyre running," Phillips said. "But it's the communication of what you want to call so you don't get in a situation where you can only call one thing or maybe two things. You have to be able to communicate basically your whole defense in those situations. But we work on that all the time."

Hasn't seemed to give any other QB problems.

All that pre-snap confusion that the D has been displaying the last 2.5 years must be to confuse the other team.
