Keep your eye on ...
The Eagles secondary: With Sheldon Brown, Asante Samuel and Lito Sheppard, the Eagles have three Pro Bowl-caliber cover corners. They will need them to play at a peak level against the explosive Cowboys offense.
Cowboys TE Jason Witten: Depth is not a strength of the Cowboys' receiving corps, making Witten a more important factor in the passing game. He will face an inexperienced group of Eagles linebackers and safeties.
Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware: McNabb does not possess the same speed or scrambling ability that he did when he was younger, making it easier for a speed rusher such as Ware to take him down. Ware will likely need to do so consisently for the Cowboys to stop a suddenly dangerous Eagles offense.
