TIDBIT: QB-center exchange: Quarterback Drew Bledsoe said he thinks the Cowboys have solved the problem of their botched snaps this season. Bledsoe has fumbled six quarterback-center exchanges – five with Al Johnson and one with Andre Gurode "It's something we can't continue to have, but I think we've got it figured out now," Bledsoe said. "I'm trying to get down a little lower, which allows me to get my hands further underneath Al, so I can get the ball." The Cowboys placed a camera on Johnson last week to videotape the exchanges and get a better understanding for why the fumbles were occurring. Injury update: Cornerback Anthony Henry and safety Willie Pile each missed a portion of practice Thursday, but coach Bill Parcells said he expects both to practice today. That would give each two full practice days before Monday night's game, an indication each might play.
