WADE PHILLIPS (64-47, 7TH YEAR, 16-5 - DAL.)Wade Phillips was named the seventh head coach in Dallas

Cowboys history on Feb. 8, 2007. Phillips, now in his 32nd yearas an NFL coach, has guided his teams to four playoff appear-ances with only one non-winning season. His first season inDallas was no exception as the Cowboys tied the franchiserecord with 13 wins. En route to a 13-3 record, Dallas capturedthe 20th division title in franchise history. Under Phillips' guid-ance, the Cowboys sent a league record 13 players to the ProBowl. Phillips had head coaching stops with the Denver Bron-cos and Buffalo Bills. He also served as an interim head coachin New Orleans in 1985 (1-3 record) and Atlanta in 2003 (2-1).The last seven times Phillips has taken over as a head coachor defensive coordinator, his new team has reached the play-offs in his first season. Over the last 19 years as a head coachor coordinator, he has been a part of only four teams with non-winning records. During that span, his defenses have ranked inthe NFL's top-10 nine times. He served as the defensive coor-dinator for the San Diego Chargers for three seasons beforelanding in Dallas. He spent two years (2002-03) as the defen-sive coordinator in Atlanta. From 1998-2000 he was Buffalo'shead coach and was its defensive coordinator (1995-97) aftera two-year stint as Denver's head coach (1993-94).

gals history on Jan. 14, 2003 after establishing himself as arecord-setting defensive coordinator.

The 970 rushing yards allowed by hisdefense was also the fewest allowed in a 16-game season.The Ravens defense was a part in four shutouts that sea-son which were the most in the league since 1976. Beforejoining the Ravens, Lewis spent four years (1992-95) withthe Pittsburgh Steelers as the club’s linebackers coach.Lewis earned All-Big Sky Conference honors as a linebackerat Idaho State (1978-80) and saw action at quarterback andfree safety.

WEEK 1, 2, 3...TD, TD, TDIn his NFL debut at Cleveland (9/7) , Felix Jones found the end

zone on an 11-yard run on his first NFL carry. The next week, inhis Texas Stadium debut against Philadelphia (9/15), he returneda kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. In doing so, he became thesecond Cowboys rookie to score a touchdown in each of his firsttwo games (Bob Hayes - 1965).

MARION THE BARBARIANMarion Barber has come into his own as an offensive threat over

the past two seasons and earned his first career trip to the ProBowl following the 2007 season, despite not starting a regular sea-son game. He finished the season as the Cowboys leading rusherwith 204 carries for 975 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He was named the starting running back for the club coming intothe 2008 season, and he rang in the new year averaging 5.0 yards-per-carry (16 for 80 yards) with two rushing touchdowns at Cleve-land (9/7) - his first regular season start since the 2006 season(vs. N.Y.

The next week against Philadelphia (9/15), Barber rushed 18times for 63 yards and a touchdown while also catching fourpasses for 51 yards and a score - the 12th multi-touchdown gameof his career: eight with two rushing; two with a rushing/receivingcombo; one with two receiving; and one with two rushing/one re-ceiving.

The Packers game also saw Barber rush for a touchdown in histhird consecutive game, tying the third-longest streak of his career.The streak ended the next week against Washington (9/28) whenBarber was held out of the end zone.

QUICK WITT-EDJason Witten started the 2008 season where he left off in 2007.

In the season-opening win at Cleveland (9/7), Witten led all Dallaspass catchers with 96 yards and tied for the team lead with sixcatches. His yardage total allowed him to become just the sixthplayer in Cowboys history to reach 4,000 career receiving yards:

Against Washington (9/28) Witten caught his 22nd career touch-down to tie Jay Novacek for 10th in club history.

RUN FELIX, RUNWhen drafting Felix Jones with their first pick in the 2008 NFL

Draft, the Dallas Cowboys knew what they were getting from the run-ning back from Arkansas. Through his collegiate career, he not onlyproved himself as a capable back, but also as a kickoff return man.

Dallas’ selection of Jones paid dividends against Philadelphia(9/15) when he established a club record with 247 kickoff returnyards. His average of 41.2 yards-per-return (six for 247) was goodfor the fourth-best single-game average in club history:

Player Average Opp (Date)Mark Washington 48.0 (3 for 144) at Was 11/22/70Reggie Swinton 43.7 (3 for 131) vs. TB 9/9/01Ike Thomas 43.7 (3 for 131) vs. L.A.Rams 11/25/71Felix Jones 41.2 (6 for 247) vs. Phi 9/15/08Part of Jones’ success against Philadelphia was due in part to a

98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The return marked the firstkickoff return for a touchdown by Dallas since Randal Williams tookone back 38 yards against Philadelphia (10/12/03). It was thelongest return since Reggie Swinton took one back 100 yards atPhiladelphia (9/22/02).

The next week at Green Bay (9/21), Jones once again turnedheads when he took a handoff from Tony Romo and sprintedaround left end for a 60-yard touchdown. It was the longest rush-ing touchdown by a Cowboys rookie running back since TonyDorsett rushed for an 84-yard score against Philadelphia (12/4/77).Jones’ run was the fourth-longest touchdown run by a club rookierunning back:

Tony Dorsett 84t vs. Philadelphia (12/4/77)Tony Dorsett 72t at St. Louis (10/9/77)Amos Bullocks 73t vs. Chicago (11/18/62)Felix Jones 60t at Green Bay (9/21/08)

OLD DOG, NEW TEAMThe biggest offseason free agent signing for the Dallas Cowboys

was the acquisition of perrenial All-Pro linebacker Zach Thomas. Thomas left Miami after seven consecutive Pro Bowl seasons

(1999-2006), 10 100-plus tackles seasons and 1,866 career tack-les. He led the club in tackles in 10 of his 12 seasons.

Thomas made his Cowboys debut at Cleveland (9/7) and led theteam with 12 tackles to mark the 40th time in his last 53 gamesthat he reached double-digit tackle figures.

Thomas also proved strong in the club’s 27-16 win at Green Bay(9/21), finishing second on the team with 10 tackles. He then wasin on 17 tackles - second on the team - against Washington (9/28)to mark the 42nd time in his last 56 regular season games that hereached double-digit tackle figures.

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESESThe Dallas Cowboys welcomed two new Joneses to the family

this season, acquiring both in the same weekend. Adam Jones ar-rived in Dallas via a draft day trade with Tennessee and Felix Joneswas taken with the Cowboys first pick of the 2008 NFL Draft. BothJoneses made splashes for the team in their Cowboys debut.

Adam filled in for an injured Terence Newman (groin) as theclub’s starting left cornerback, and finished the season-openinggame at Cleveland (9/7) with two tackles and a team-high threepass breakups. He also returned two punts four yards.

Adam got the starting nod once again in Week 2, this time whenthe team opened with three cornerbacks. He finished the gamewith four tackles - tops among cornerbacks - and a pass breakup.He also returned three punts 11 yards.

Adam started once again at Green Bay (9/21) as the defenseopened with three cornerbacks. Adam made a splash on the secondplay of the game, forcing a Ryan Grant fumble, recovering it andreturning it 21 yards to set Dallas up at Green Bay’s 14-yard line. Hefinished the game with eight tackles, two breakups, the forced fum-ble and fumble recovery - his first career defensive fumble recovery.

Against Washington (9/28), Adam had one tackle with a team-high two pass breakups.

Felix made his NFL debut at Cleveland and, on his first careercarry, rushed in for an 11-yard touchdown. He mixed in big runs of18 and 22 yards to finish with nine carries for 62 yards (6.9 avg.)and the touchdown. He also recorded his first career kickoff return,one that he took 20 yards.

Felix had another first in Week 2 - his first kickoff return for atouchdown. He took a kickoff 98 yards in the first quarter for thetouchdown, and finished the game with a club record 247 kickoff re-turn yards. On the ground, he rushed three times for 10 yards.

Week 3 was yet another exciting week for Felix as he rushed sixtimes for 76 yards with a 60-yard run for a touchdown at GreenBay. It was the longest rushing touchdown by a team rookie runningback since Tony Dorsett took one 84 yards to the house againstPhiladelphia (12/4/77). It was also the fourth-longest rushing touch-down by a Dallas rookie. Felix’ touchdown gave him his third con-secutive game with a touchdown to become the first player in teamhistory to have a touchdown in each of his first three career games.

Against Washington, Felix had only four kickoff returns for 54yards in the team’s first loss of the season.

OH HENRY!In the game at Green Bay (9/21), Anthony Henry came up big,

twice. In the first quarter, he recorded the first sack of his eight-year NFL career. He then added his second career sack in the thirdquarter. Both of his sacks came on third down and inside the 10-yard line to force Packers field goals.

With his two-sack effort, Henry became the 27th cornerback torecord two-or-more sacks in a game since 1982 - the first year sacksbecame an official statistic. It was also the first time since Ricky Man-ning Jr. (Chicago) had two sacks against Tampa Bay (12/17/06).

B-WARE OF D-WAREDeMarcus Ware is on a hot streak sacking opposing quarter-

backs. In the team’s win at Green Bay (9/21), Ware had a fourthquarter takedown of Aaron Rodgers to mark his sixth consecutivegame with a sack - dating back to the 2007 season. Ware thenrecorded a sack of Jason Campbell against Washington (9/28) forhis seventh straight game with a sack - the fourth-longest streak inclub history:

YOU DIRTY RAT-LIFFFourth-year defensive lineman Jay Ratliff has come into his own

over the past two seasons. After seeing action through his first twoyears as a reserve defensive end, Ratliff settled into the startingrole at nose tackle after Jason Ferguson (biceps) was lost in the2007 season opener. Ratliff elevated his game in 2007 and es-tablished career-highs with 28 tackles, 15 pressures and four tack-les for losses. He was rewarded with a six-year contract extensionlast December.

Ratliff opened the season at Cleveland with six tackles - tied forfourth on the squad, tops among lineman. He returned in Week 2and turned in his best game as a pro. Against Philadelphia (9/15)he had five tackles to go along with a pressure, a tackle for a lossand a sack. He also had what was the biggest play of the gamewhen he recovered a Donovan McNabb fumble in the fourth quar-ter. The fumble recovery gave Dallas the ball with 8:52 remaining.The Cowboys then marched down the field and scored what provedto be the game-winning touchdown with 4:35 left on the clock.

Ratliff had another pressure filled night in the win at Green Bay(9/21), finishing with seven tackles, a sack and a team-best fivequarterback hurries. He added eight tackles - fourth on the team,tops among linemen - a tackle for a loss and a pressure againstWashington (9/28).

Through four weeks Ratliff’s two sacks are tied for the fourth-most among league defensive tackles.

D-FENCEThe Dallas Cowboys boasted a powerful run defense in 2007

that saw the club allow just one 100-yard rusher on the season -Clinton Portis in the season finale at Washington.

Last week, Portis once again rushed for more than 100 yards,marking just the second time in the last 21 regular season gamesthat an opposing running back has topped the 100-yard plateau.

YARD MARKERThe Dallas Cowboys are second in the league with 1,664 total

net yards through four games. That figure also represents thefifth-most total net yards through four games in team history:

Team Yards1966 1,8472007 1,7631976 1,7361978 1,6922008 1,664

However, he made his appearance much more mem-orable in the return game on the nationally broadcast game, re-turning six kickoffs for 247 yards (41.2 avg.) and took one kickoff98 yards for a touchdown to earn NFC Special Teams Player ofthe Week. His touchdown return marked the first since RandalWilliams returned one 38 yards for a score against Philadelphia(10/12/03) and was the longest kickoff return by a Cowboy sinceReggie Swinton returned one 100 yards for the score at Philadel-phia (9/22/02). Jones’ 247 kickoff return yards effort led to a fran-chise record and his 41.2 average was good for the fourth-bestin club record books.

Jones @ Green Bay (9/21): Jones teamed with Barber to pro-duce 218 yards on the ground, including his 76-yard effort. Healso recorded his second career rushing touchdown while break-ing loose for a 60-yard touchdown burst to mark the longestrushing touchdown by a club rookie running back since TonyDorsett had an 84-yard touchdown run against Philadelphia(12/4/77). It was the fourth-longest touchdown by a Dallas rookierunning back in team history. After scoring a touchdown in eachof his first three games (two rushing on kickoff return), Jones be-came the first rookie in Dallas Cowboys team history to accom-plish the feat and was the first rookie in NFL history to do sosince Andre Davis (Houston) and Donte’ Stallworth (New Or-leans) each had similar performances during the 2002 season.

His 11-yardtouchdown reception in the fourth quarter proved to be the finalscore of the game though it did allow Dallas to creep within twopoints of the final deficit behind the Redskins.

Hurd vs. Washington (9/28): Hurd returned to the lineupagainst the Redskins after missing the first three weeks due toa sprained ankle. He did not record any statistics.

Working through his first full training camp, second-year re-ceiver Isaiah Stanback showed splashes of comprehending thereceiver position after making the transition from college quar-terback to pro receiver last year. His progress and playing timemay be slowed at the beginning of the 2008 season after he suf-fered a shoulder injury in the preseason game against Houston.

@ Cleveland (9/7): Playing with a shoulder brace, Stanbackcaught his first career pass - a nine-yarder - in the third quarterwhile finishing the day with two receptions for 24 yards includinga long catch of 15 yards.

At the top of the tight end depth chart lies fifth-year man andfour-time Pro Bowler Jason Witten. With his selection to the2007 Pro Bowl, Witten now trails only Jay Novacek (five) for themost Pro Bowl appearances by a Dallas tight end. Through hisfive seasons, Witten has emerged as one of the most prolifictight ends in club history. The 2007 season was no exception asWitten established franchise tight end records for catches (96),receiving yards (1,145) and a career-high seven touchdowncatches. He became the first Dallas tight end and 13th tight endin league history to top 1,000 receiving yards in a season. Healso became just the eighth tight end in NFL history to recordfour consecutive 60-plus catch seasons. He already has four ofDallas’ top-five single-season reception totals and four of the top-six single-season receiving yards totals. He became only thesixth Dallas pass catcher - and only the second tight end - inteam history to reach 4,000 career receiving yards at Cleveland(9/7/08) and now has 4,346 yards in his career. He is also 25catches shy of becoming the fifth pass catcher to catch at least400 passes. A model of durability, Witten has appeared in 86 ofa possible 87 games, missing just one with a broken jaw in 2003.

Through four weeks, Witten leads the team and is tied for thirdin the NFL - tops among tight ends - with 27 catches. His team-high 363 receiving yards is good for sixth in the league - topsamong tight ends.

Witten @ Cleveland (9/7): Witten began the 2008 seasonmuch as he ended the 2007 season - tying for the team lead inreceptions (six - all for first downs) and leading the team in yards(96), including hauling in a long pass of 22 yards. He also helpedblock for a Dallas running game that gained 167 total rushingyards on the afternoon.

Witten vs. Philadelphia (9/15): Despite suffering a right shoul-der separation in the first half, Witten quickly returned to actionafter missing only one drive and went on to lead the team with agame-high seven receptions for 110 yards, including a long catchof 42 yards. His 110-yard outing proved to be the seventh 100-yard game of his career as he continued to add to his tally forcompiling the most amongst Cowboys tight ends in team history.

His touchdownreception was the 22nd of his career, tying him with Jay Novacekfor 10th in club history among all pass catchers and tied for thirdamong team tight ends.

After a draft-day trade that sent 2006 second round selectionAnthony Fasano to Miami, the Dallas Cowboys showed their de-pendency on a quality tight end when they selected MartellusBennett in the second round (61st overall) of the 2008 NFLDraft. Through the preseason, Bennett has displayed his abilityas a pass catcher, shedding tackles for 71 yards on six catches.He continues to work on his ability as a quality blocker in orderto become a well-rounded tight end in the mold of Witten.

@ Cleveland (9/7): Bennett made his NFL debut in Cleveland,and although he didn’t catch a pass, he did see plenty of time inthe game in single and two tight end sets. He also contributed toallowing the rushing offense churn out 167 total yards on theground.

vs. Philadelphia (9/15): Bennett seamlessly stepped in whileWitten missed a drive due to a shoulder injury, catching one passfor 20 yards in the contest.

@ Green Bay (9/21): Bennett hauled in a career-long 37-yardpass on his only reception of the night. Bennett also saw more timein multiple tight end sets with Deon Anderson (knee) inactive, help-ing the Dallas running backs rush for 217 yards with his blocking.

Tony Curtis returns for his third season in Dallas after seeingtime in all 16 games as a reserve in 2007. The 2007 season sawCurtis record his first three receptions - all touchdowns - whilealso proving his worth as a capable run blocker.

@ Cleveland (9/7): Curtis opened the 2008 season with onecatch for eight yards. He also saw time in multiple tight end setson offense and contributed on special teams. vs. Philadelphia(9/15): Curtis logged his first career start as the club opened withthree tight ends and caught two passes for seven yards whileseeing extended time in the Monday Night Football contest dueto an early shoulder injury to Witten. @ Green Bay (9/21): Cur-tis started at fullback with Anderson (knee) inactive and caughtone pass for six yards. From the full back position and his nor-mal tight end spot, he helped the Cowboys running backs com-bine for 217 rushing yards with two touchdowns. vs.Washington (9/28): Curtis again lined up at fullback for the sec-ond straight game with Anderson still sidelined and caught onepass for negative four yards.

As one of the biggest and most powerful offensive lines in theleague in 2007, the Dallas Cowboys return all five starters fromlast year in left tackle Flozell Adams, left guard Kyle Kosier,center Andre Gurode, right guard Leonard Davis and righttackle Marc Colombo. Behind the O-Line’s work, the Dallas of-fense finished second in the NFC, third in the league, averaging365.7 yards-per-game. The club racked up 455 points, the sec-ond-most behind the 1983 squad’s 479. The Dallas line was alsowell represented in the Pro Bowl, sending Adams for his fourthappearance - second consecutive - Gurode for his second con-secutive and Davis for his first trip. The line lost some consis-tency to start the season after Kosier suffered a foot injury in theHouston game and was sidelined for the first two games. He re-turned for the game at Green Bay (9/21) and re-injured his foot.He is expected to miss several weeks due to the injury.

With Kosier sidelined with a foot injury suffered in the presea-son game against Houston, Cory Procter - who started twogames at center in place of Gurode (knee) last season - steppedin to start three of the last four games at left guard

He also dropped one punt inside the op-ponents 20-yard line and had a long punt of 55 yards. @Green Bay (9/21): McBriar punted three times for a 47.3gross average with a net average of 43.3. He also pinned thePackers offense inside their own 20-yard line once and hada long punt of 65 yards. vs. Washington (9/28): In his mostwork thus far this season, McBriar punted six times for agross average of 49.2 and a net average of 39.0. He had onepunt downed inside the 20-yard line with one touchback anda long of 59 yards.

The Cowboys may have found the permanent solution atplace kicker - a position that has given the club trouble re-cently. Nick Folk, one of Dallas’ sixth round choices in the2007 NFL Draft, will once again handle the place kicking du-ties after becoming the first Cowboys rookie to be selectedto the Pro Bowl since Emmitt Smith (1990), and the third-everDallas kicker (first rookie kicker) to make the all-star trip. Hefinished his rookie season fourth among kickers with 131points to establish a club rookie scoring record. He converted

KICKING GAMEall 53 PATs and was true on 26-of-31 field goals.

@ Cleveland (9/7): Folk began the season in perfectform, converting on all four PAT attempts. vs. Philadelphia(9/15): Folk had another successful appearance on MondayNight Football, connecting on both his field goal attempts (51and 47) - the first two attempted by the kicker this season -and all five of his PAT attempts. @ Green Bay (9/21): TheCowboys kicker was true on both of his field goal attempts(25, 39) and all three of his PATs. vs. Washington (9/28):Folk hit a 36-yard field goal and was successful on all threePAT tries. He was, however, unsuccessful in his first onsidekick attempt of the season which would have given Dallas theball back late in the fourth quarter.

Deep snapper Louis-Philippe Ladouceur signed withDallas prior to their Week Four contest at Oakland in 2005and has been solid and mistake-free on 210 punts, 91 fieldgoals and 137 PATs since joining the team.

With preseason injuries to Miles Austin (knee) and IsaiahStanback (shoulder) - both of whom were slotted as kickoff re-turners - the Dallas return game took on a new look with theCowboys turning to rookie Felix Jones to handle the return du-ties. Jones is back in familiar territory as he handled kickoff re-turns at Arkansas, leaving the collegiate ranks as the NCAA’sninth-ranked returner with a career average of 28.2 yards-per-return. Jenkins also excelled in his senior campaign as a kick re-turn specialist, averaging 30.4 yards with his first return of theseason going for a 100-yard touchdown. Scandrick - anotherDallas rookie who was selected in the fifth round of the 2008NFL draft - will also be in the mix at kick returner after previouslyseeing time there during college. Stanback returned as the sec-ond kick return specialist in Week 2.

@ Cleveland (9/7): F. Jones made his NFL kick returndebut in the second quarter with his only return of the afternoongoing for 20 yards. Scandrick returned his first career kickoff 19yards at the beginning of the third quarter in his NFL debut. vs.Philadelphia (9/15): F. Jones turned heads in front of a nation

Both Terence Newman and Patrick Crayton may seetime returning punts, but the full time role will be handled byAdam Jones. Jones, an explosive punt returner while withthe Tennessee Titans, has a career average of 10.8 yards-per-return. In the 2006 season, Jones averaged 12.9 yards-per-return with three returns for a touchdown, including a90-yarder.

A. Jones @ Cleveland (9/7): In his Dallas debut, Jonesreturned two punts for eight yards. vs. Philadelphia (9/15):Jones returned three punts for 11 yards with a long return ofsix yards. @ Green Bay (9/21): Jones had three punts re-turned for 13 yards, including a long return of seven yards.vs. Washington (9/28): Jones returned three punts for 14yards with a long return of eight yards.
