Quick Hits: Dallas Cowboy facts going into week 10

Here are some quick facts about the Cowboys: (Some comments included from Rotoworld.com)

1) The Cowboys are now 3-1 verse the West Coast Offense. Hopefully we will be 4-1 after we face Detriot this weekend.

2) Keyshawn Johnson caught five passes for 56 yards in week ten. His workmanlike season continues. Johnson has at least four catches in five straight games, but isn't on pace for a 1,000-yard season.

3) Terry Glenn caught two passes for 31 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown.The score was perhaps the bigges offensive touchdown of the Cowboys season, setting up their improbable comeback victory.

4) Peerless Price caught a 58-yard pass in week ten.It was his only catch of the night. He only has four catches all season.

5) Julius Jones rushed eight times for 16 yards in week ten.Jones didn't start, but played most of the second and third quarters. He just didn't play very well and gave way to Marion Barber on third downs and the fourth quarter. It looks like Bill Parcells will go committee for now.

6) Marion Barber rushed 13 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in week ten. He caught three passes for zero yards.The numbers weren't great, but they were far better than Julius Jones. Barber was the one in the game late in the fourth quarter, and fumbled, but the Cowboys recovered. This situation looks likely to cause headaches for Barber and Jones owners, as Bill Parcells toys with a committee approach.

7) Drew Bledsoe completed 17-of-24 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in week ten.For most of the game, Bledsoe looked like Bad Drew from his Bills days while under constant pressure from the Eagles defense. But a late TD pass to Terry Glenn sparked a 14-point outburst by the Cowboys in the final four minues. Bledsoe has a great matchup against the Lions next week.
