All eyes on TO


That's right kids... It's TO week! Facing his former team for the first time, you know TO has to be pumped. Both coaches, as well as the players, seem to be playing it down in the media, but everyone knows what this game is really about. With a lightning rod like TO, the Eagles players are going to be out for revenge and you know that TO wants to stick it to the team that he felt didn't give him what he deserved. It's time to get the popcorn out.

I am, however, kind of worried about this game. Based on their style of play, Philly is a team that can ride emotion and rise above injury problems and match-ups, where as the Cowboys seem to be a more structured, disciplined group. I have to be honest, that makes me nervous. In rivalry games, you can throw out the record books that includes a sweep by Dallas last year. In fact, that probably favors Philly in this situation.

I am really curious as to how Bill will handle this weeks game. I don't think he really cares much for the flamboyant TO (which I am guessing he wanted no part from the very beginning) and a part of him would like to see him put in his place. And what a better venue for that than this Sunday's showdown. But here's hoping that Bill realizes that he has a gun in a knife fight. TO is a beast. There are few players that have his ability and as X's and O's go, we are lucky to have him here in Dallas. If it were up to me, I would look for every opportunity to get TO the ball. He's that good. I just hope that the O-line can keep Bledsoe upright long enough to get him the ball.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Cowboys/Eagles, Texas/OU... You can't beat it. Oh yea, and Texas Tech/Missouri... Sorry Mike & friends.
