How Will Cowboys Garrett Handle Eagles Blitz?

by Ryan Bush

The Eagles will be at Texas Stadium for the first act in these division rivals' yearly hatefests.

Tony Romo and Co. have another chance to prove that they are good enough to beat Jim Johnson's blitz packages after the last meeting between these two teams saw Romo get battered for 4 sacks and 3 interceptions in a 10-6 loss for the Cowboys.

To counter the heavy blitzing, it would be advisable for offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to call some screens or swing passes.

So, in order to put the Eagles defense back on their toes, is this the game that Garrett should unveil the Marion Barber-Felix Jones backfield combination?
