Cowboys Run Over Cardinals

Marion Barber carried the Dallas Cowboys to a convincing win over the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 at Texas Stadium today. Barber, a rookie from Minnesota became the first Cowboys runningback to gain over 100 yards this season is supposed to be filling in for the injured Julius Jones. But you have to wonder how much playing time Jones will see once he is 100% after the display put on by Barber who has to be one of the nicest surprises the 'Boys have had this season.

Another pleasant surprise continues to be Drew Bledsoe who had another good game, with the exception of yet another fumbled snap. As a fan that still remembers the original "Doomsday Defense" it feels great to see the 'Boys field a defense that can shut the other team down. True, it was just the Cardinals, but DeMarcus Ware threatening to pound the quarterback and Anthony Henry blanketing receivers, Dallas' defense looks like the real deal.
