TIDBIT: CATCH BLEDSOE WHILE YOU CAN
Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe, below, is enjoying a nice career resurgence.After being shipped out of Buffalo _ the Bills since have wavered between J.P. Losman and Kelly Holcomb _ Bledsoe has been reunited with coach Bill Parcells and shares the NFC lead with the Rams' Marc Bulger in passer rating (94.4).Still, it's not difficult for a defense to find Bledsoe. He doesn't move much, or all that well, once he's out of the pocket. Which is why he has been sacked at least three times in five games this season and four times in three games.In his three seasons with the Bills, he was sacked 54, 49 and 37 times.The Cowboys have plenty of speed at receiver, and their tight end, Jason Witten, has been a difficult matchup for opposing linebackers.But give Bledsoe time, and he has plenty of arm and enough savvy to complete the pass.Many of those well- timed throws have been difference makers this season.In four of the Cowboys' seven wins, Bledsoe has completed fewer than 20 passes.
