Cowboys' Wade Phillips deserves the extension coming his way

No one is rooting for head coach Wade Phillips to succeed more than owner Jerry Jones, writes Jean-Jacques Taylor in this week's Inside the Dallas Cowboys. If Phillips succeeds, it justifies Jerry's decision to hire Phillips instead of Norv Turner.

Dallas Cowboys' Austin more than filling T.O.'s shoes - quietly
We often criticized Terrell Owens for whining about not getting the ball enough. And we criticized Tony Romo for throwing the ball to T.O. too much, and Jason Garrett for calling plays that seemingly forced the ball to T.O.

If Wade Phillips doesn't trust the players on the Dallas Cowboys' roster, then he needs to cut them and sign some players he does trust, writes Jean-Jacques Taylor in this week's Inside the Dallas Cowboys newsletter. With Marc Colombo presumably out for the rest of the season, Doug Free should move into the starting lineup.

Wade Phillips gave the Dallas Cowboys the day off Monday - "Victory Monday." Phillips' problem is he's too nice. Phillips wants the players to love him. But his job is to get this team to play to its potential each week, writes Jean-Jacques Taylor in this week's Inside the Dallas Cowboys.

No rush from Dallas Cowboys' Spencer making it tough on Ware

G.J. McCARTHY / DMN

Linebacker Anthony Spencer has yet to record a sack. More important, writes Jean-Jacques Taylor in this week's Inside the Dallas Cowboys, is that Spencer hasn't convinced teams to stop giving their full attention to DeMarcus Ware, which is one reason Ware has yet to record a sack this season.

Nick Folk (right), who had off-season hip surgery, had missed a field goal attempt in each of his first two preseason games.

An apparent 49-yard field goal by Nick Folk in last Saturday's loss to the 49ers was nullified by a holding penalty, but it'll go a long way toward restoring Folk's confidence in his leg, Jean-Jacques Taylor writes in this week's Inside the Dallas Cowboys.
