CLARENCE E. HILL JR. Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff is fearless.He is relentless.

Nose tackle Jay Ratliff was upset at halftime. The Dallas Cowboys led 10-6, but Ratliff was upset by the 70 rushing yards the Philadelphia Eagles had.

By CARLOS MENDEZ ARLINGTON - The Dallas Cowboys gave up points on the opponent's opening drive, as they did a week ago.

JENNIFER FLOYD ENGEL IRVING - Admittedly, owner Jerry Jones has thrown good money after bad a lot in his Cowboy lifetime.

He was all over the field. He did an excellent job on Tony Gonzalez but he had two other "big" plays in my view that went unnoticed.

Mike Jenkins came up with the Cowboys first interception since Terence Newman's pick six against Carolina in Week 3. It was Jenkins' second interception of the season and he needs to send a thank you to Stephen Bowen.

BECKER, MN: Can anyone tell me where the real DeMarcus Ware has gone? Two things worry me - first, the most explosive first step in football has totally disappeared.

FAIR LAWN, NJ: I have no doubt in Tony Romo's ability to make big plays, even against the Giants.

Hard Knocks cameras followed the Bengals - of all teams - rather than the Cowboys and had better ratings on HBO.

JAY KAPIKO HAMPSTEAD, NC: With the focus on special teams and the only way some of the players can make the team this year is to contribute in a variety of ways, do you see some of the rookies or free agents helping at the long snap position? If we are carrying two kickers to the game each week, it seems like we would look to avoid carrying a long ...

CLARENCE E. HILL JR. The Dallas Cowboys signed free agent defensive tackle Jonas Seawright, the club announced Monday.Seawright, who has been out of football since 2007, played with the New York Giants in 2005 and 2006.

After a hard practice with the sun beating down his 6-5 frame, DeMarcus Ware stormed off the field.

Sometimes I even shock myself. A month ago I pointed out how many of the Cowboys' off-season moves were made with the idea of getting younger, realizing it's better - and cheaper - to build a team from within by grooming your own to take over for aging veterans than constantly speculating in free agency on players you know less about.
