In two regular-season games the Cowboys have sacked Donovan McNabb seven times. They dropped him four times last week and only Oakland had more vs. Philly this year (six).
Anthony Spencer talked Wednesday about moving McNabb off his spot and making him feel uncomfortable. While he can still run and move around, he's not looking to run as much as he did earlier in his career.
DeMarcus Ware doesn't have a sack of McNabb yet this year but has got him 5.5 times in his career. Part of the reason is the attention the Eagles are putting on Ware, which is why some things have opened up for Spencer and Jay Ratliff.
Philadelphia offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg was asked how the Cowboys have prevented the big play so far.
"They have enough schematically as well to put a little heat on you with some blitzes and some changes on coverage as well," Mornhinweg said. "That doesn't prevent the big plays. We've had some opportunities in the past ball games, but we just haven't connected. They'll get just a little bit more pressure than other teams would - man in the quarterback's face or they bump him at the line just a little bit better than other teams. They do some things just a little bit better than some other defenses and they've had great success."
