Location: Texas Stadium
Both teams were unimpressive in Week 1. The unknown about the Redskins was their offense, but their defense should be good --- they weren't. DB Shawn Springs was Out and it looked like it really hurt against a speedster like Troy Williamson. Springs is listed as Doubtful again this week and the Cowboys' receivers should take advantage of that. Joe Gibbs also announced that Clinton Portis will not play. Portis was the only player who did anything in Week 1 for the Redskins offense. A final advantage for the Cowboys is at Kicker. Despite all his faults Mike Vanderjagt is healthy and a huge upgrade over Shaun Suisham. He's also clearly better than the Redskins' John Hall who failed in his potentially game-tying kick in Week 1.
