Four reasons why the Patriots will win Sunday's showdown in Dallas

By Vic Carucci | NFL.com

 

> The Patriots will stop the run: They have the league's third-best run defense, allowing only 74.2 yards per game and only one rushing touchdown. The Cowboys' offensive success depends upon Julius Jones and Marion Barber III maintaining their 100-plus yards per game average. Tony Romo is a more efficient and effective quarterback with a strong ground threat. When Jones and Barber are held in check, as they were against the Bills, Romo will become the turnover machine he was on Monday night. The Patriots will crowd the line of scrimmage and make the Cowboys' offense one-dimensional.

 

> The Patriots will shut down Terrell Owens: The Bills were able to minimize Owens' impact with a banged-up secondary relying heavily on backups. Patriots cornerbacks Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs are going to follow the Buffalo blueprint of getting in Owens' facemask from the very start and staying there play after play. Safety Eugene Wilson also will provide help in covering Owens, and that should cause great frustration for Romo, who will get in trouble trying to force passes to his favorite receiver.

 

> The Patriots will have success converting third downs: The Patriots have converted 43 percent of their third-down situations, which ranks in the middle of the league. Tom Brady has been on fire in every aspect of the passing game, but he has been especially impressive connecting on short and intermediate throws to slot receiver Wes Welker and tight end Ben Watson. Although the Cowboys do a nice job of generating blitz pressure, their linebackers are extremely vulnerable in pass coverage. Look for Welker and Watson to keep the chains moving and help set up bigger plays through the air.

 

> The Patriots will connect on their share of long passes to Randy Moss and Donte' Stallworth: Brady has developed instant chemistry with all of his new targets -- Moss, Stallworth, and Welker -- but the ease with which he consistently connects with Moss on deep patterns is nothing short of astounding. Expect Moss to produce his share of game-breaking catches against the Cowboys. A high-ankle sprain to cornerback Anthony Henry makes an already weak Dallas secondary even weaker. The Patriots will take advantage of that by spreading the field with three- and four-receiver looks.

I know who Adrian Peterson is, but who the heck is A.D.? Stands for Adrian? But, yeah Adrian Peterson is a hell of a football player and probably one of the best rookies....ever. Did you see him in today's game against the Bears? He looked pretty good to me. You know, specially since Vikings won. And yeah, cowboys lost. :(

I didn't watch Adrian in college football. Kinda focused on Hawaii, since I live their. (That's right, but I'm a white kid.)

 

And my favorite player? I'll give a list of top 6 I can't decide:

 

Brian Urlacher (Line Backers are the best! My position I wanna play in Football for J. V.)

Adrian Peterson (Minnesota, will be one of the best ever runningbacks)

Randy Moss ( Good Wide Reciever)

Dick Butkus (Best Linebacker ever in my opinion. My dad showed my some videos of the bears when he played, and he was a freaking monster! The kind of Linebacker I wanna be is what this guy is.)

Shaun Alexander (Runningback, isn't doing as good as he should be, but oh well, I was born in Seattle.)

Ladanian Tomlinson (Just good. Awesome in my Fantasy Challenge team in Madden '08, even better on T.V.)

How old are you? I'm only 13.

 

Wide Reciever and Cornerback? You played both sides then. Unless CB is for something else.

 

Well, I played for my Intermediate Team for the first time this year, and I beat like 2 other guys to be 3rd String. Since next year all the 1st and 2nd's will be in J.V., I will probably be 1st String Noseguard.

 

I'm well fit for D-Line, since I'm Fast and Very Strong for a 13 year old that weighs 196 pounds. (No lie, weighed myself yesterday at the Gym) But this year I'm working on losing fat and getting faster so I can be a Linebacker, preferably MLB.

My Dad. He's the Smallest in his family except for his Mom. My cousins who are both in their Third year of College are both 6'8" and around 270 pounds. And my Mom's side of the family has a lot of Short, but Stalky people. So I guess I got the best of both worlds. Right now I'm around 5'5" and 196 Pounds, and in the 7th Grade. I can Sprint okay too. I ran my 40-Yard Sprint in about 5.7 Seconds. (5.67 Something, Something to be exact. Except for the somethings.)
