THINKS THE EAGLES STOLE ONE
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins was not mincing words when he spoke about the team's plans for trying to shut down the Eagles explosive wide receivers.
"Go out and hit them in the mouth," Jenkins told reporters. "Just be physical and hopefully we can shut them down."
However, Jenkins also praised the Eagles' DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and understands the Birds' ability to make the big play. Still, he was not backing down.
"It's definitely tough just being physical and trying not to give up the big play," Jenkins said. "It makes an athlete an athlete if you can do both. If you've got a physical guy, he usually gets beat over the top a lot. Putting both of them into one, that makes a great athlete. I feel a lot of confidence in me and [Terence Newman] and Orlando [Scandrick] and our secondary, period."
Not much to speak of on the Cowboys' injury report. Both running back Marion Barber (thumb) and linebacker DeMarcus Ware (foot) were full participants. Former Eagle Allen Rossum was the only player who missed practice. He has a hamstring injury.

Les Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.
Paul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his 27 years at the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo came to the Daily News from the Fort Worth (Tx.) Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually wa s boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose two sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad and very dangerous to be around following a Sooner loss, have been married 29 years and have raised 2 terrific daughters – Allison, 26, a lawyer and graduate of Boston University School of Law; and Amy, 23, who graduated from Clemson and works in marketing and sales for a professional baseball team.
