Hi everybody,
The game I will talk about is one of the biggest rivalry in the NFL. Both teams are from the NFC east, first there are the Philafeplia Eagles a very solid team which doesn't succeed totally in their quest although they have several very good players on both side of the ball but they always need one element to continue their route.
Most of the time they need one dominant reciever to catch McNabb's passes. This monday night they faced the Dallas Cowboys of their ex-teammate Terrell extravorted Owens. He likes showing his ex-teammates that they did a huge mistake by letting him go away. Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo, after a field goal by David Akers for Philly, threw a bullet, a 72 yards pass, to T.O for a touchdown. I have to recognize he really impressed me cause after a big catch, he was already over the cornerback he faced, Asante Samuel who was the best cornerback the last two years, then he has accelerated again to lose the defender and to enter in the endzone like Usan Bolt. He celebrated too much once again..
This was the craziest first half I ever seen, after T.O's touchdown, David Akers Has kicked another field goal but on the following kick return, a rookie named Felix Jones ran about 98 yards for a touchdown. This was so intense, the leader has changed 9 times I gess.
At haltime the Eagles led 30-24.
Inside the eagles Brian Westbrook can really do everything.
He excels on screen passes to gain important yardage after the catch, and avoiding the pass rush on McNabb, but he can also run the football. He's so elusive, when you think the defender got him, he falls down 2 or 3 yards later. This guy's so huge.
This jump was to score a touchdown wich having been failed by Desean Jackson cause he made a big play but, he celebrated too early, he realeased the ball just before having crossed the goal line so the ball was brought to the Eagles back on the one yard line and Westbrook finally scored it. Desean Jackson is just a rookie he has to secure his reception before doing any celebration.
That's exactly what coaches say to any receiver, the key thing is to think about the catch first before thinking about the possible ground you would be able to gain.
Westbrook's stats, 18 carries for 58 yards and 2 touchdowns but also 6 receptions for 45 yards and 1 touchdown. McNabb 24 on 37 pass attempts and 1 touchdown, 5 rushes for 20 yards.
For the Cowboys, Tony Romo 21 on 30 pass attempts for 312 yards, 3 touchdowns but also 1 interception.
The ball carrier Marion Barber ran 18 times for a gain of 63 yards and 1 touchdown, he caught 4 passes for 51 yards and one of them was for touchdown (the number 24).
Among the reciever the main names are, first of all, T.O with 81 yards in only 3 catches, tight end Jason Witten, who's simply a tight end not a wide reciever, he caught 7 passes for a big gain, 110 yards.
Finally the Cowboys won the game but with a small margin 41-37.
See-ya next week...
