IRVING - For the third-straight week, the players received a "Victory Monday" from Wade Phillips. The Cowboys will make Bradie James available to the media via a conference call at 2:30 p.m. Thirty minutes later, Wade Phillips will meet with reporters.

Phillips did a great job calling blitzes and also developing a game plan that called for coverage to roll to DeSean Jackson. CB Terence Newman, with some help from safeties Gerald Sensabaugh and Ken Hamlin, limited Jackson to two catches for only 29 yards with Donovan McNabb targeting him...

DAVID THOMAS What Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips had to say after the Cowboys’ 20-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, plus what he could have said: On being in first place alone in the NFC East: On Roy Williams: More on Roy Williams:

We had a lot of confidence going in," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "I think we’re getting better." The Cowboys are one game ahead of the Eagles (5-3) and the free-falling New York Giants (5-4) are two games back in the loss column after a four-game losing streak.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips’ second-half challenge failed. Dallas believed that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb had crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing an 11-yard touchdown pass to Brent Celek. Johnson in; Octavien sits

PHILADELPHIA - Trailing 13-10 after Donovan McNabb's 11-yard TD pass to Brent Celek, the Cowboys did what they've done so often in big games under Wade Phillips - commit a turnover. This time, it was Eagles CB intercepting a Tony Romo pass that went behind Jason Witten.

PHILADELPHIA - The Cowboys' fourth captain is always their top special teams performer from the week before. The honor went to San Antonio Brackenridge graduate Sam Hurd, who had three tackles last week against Seattle. Guess Wade Phillips didn't mind the illegal block in the back Hurd go...

RANDY GALLOWAY First, the important stuff: No way Wade Phillips returns here tonight as the head coach of the Cowboys. Some of those I laughed at. One of those, "the Cowboy way," I had to stifle a hoot when Romo mentioned it to me in training camp.

By JEFF CAPLAN IRVING — Wade Phillips hired hard-driving assistant coach Joe DeCamillis to clean up the Dallas Cowboys’ underachieving special-teams units. Austin will leave no doubt if he produces again Sunday when the Cowboys face the Eagles’ 10th-ranked pass defense and Pro Bowl co...

By JEFF CAPLAN IRVING — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo can still escape a collapsing pocket with greater ease than the seemingly always swirling winds of controversy at Valley Ranch. Wade Phillips said Williams and Romo were not on the same page after last week’s win over the Seattl...

It could take up to 10 weeks for Barber to be 100 percent, according to the Cowboys. But Wade Phillips said Barber is getting better every week and starting to show some of that old explosiveness. The media and the fans aren’t alone in looking at Sunday’s showdown against the Eagles as a measur...

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips had bad news for the Eagles yesterday: RB Marion Barber is starting to heat up after limping along the last four games with a still-healing quad. I thought he played better and ran his best after that stretch last game (Seattle), and he looked good today,'' Phill...

The Super Bowl-winning coach now uses his clicker for NBC Sunday Night Football. He'll work pre- and post-game when the Cowboys visit Philadelphia on Sunday. Here are some of his Cowboys-related thoughts:

Well certainly he's playing more and now he's playing better and better," coach Wade Phillips said. "That's whatever the perception, the reality is ... But yeah, he's been solid in a lot of areas and now he's made some plays, and that's what you're looking for in any player. He had to fight to get a...

How much will Wade Phillips refer to the last time the Cowboys played in Philadelphia to get his players ready for this one? Sounds reasonable and fits the approach the Cowboys have adopted. Still, if Phillips wants to ensure the attention of his team this week, there is only one thing he mus...

Among the highlights: Phillips poking fun at two former Cowboys coaches. In case you don't remember, Bill Parcells gave his list of 10 rules for quarterbacks to Tony Romo when Romo became a starter in 2006. Phillips also did an imitation of Jimmy Johnson complete with lip smacking.

It was a tremendous play," Wade Phillips said. "I think he made four guys miss inside the 10-yard line, besides out running the linebackers to turn up the field on the play. Sam was in the mix to be playing early in the season also. Obviously there was a lot of question going in (about the receiver...

The Cowboys have bounced back, which should make Wade Phillips' appearance on Brian Billick's Coach Speak much more fun.

DALLAS - Cowboys CB Terence Newman has never been known as a physical player. After all, he entered the season with only four forced fumbles in 87 career games. Terence has really picked it up," Wade Phillips said. "He's hitting and making a lot more tackles than he has in the past."

DALLAS - Since joining the Cowboys as a free agent after the 2006 season, RG Leonard Davis has been the cornerstone of the offensive line, earning two-straight trips to the Pro Bowl. Leonard Davis had one of his best games," coach Wade Phillips said Monday. "He's so powerful, and it was reall...

Tony Romo has gone from swashbuckling to steady. Dare we say "workman-type"? Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips came up with ...

After Sunday's win owner and GM Jerry Jones talked about the differences between the teams. He mentioned Tony Romo is healthier and playing better. So too is Marion Barber (at least he's healthier) and the Cowboys didn't have Felix Jones in that game.

Yes, how about that?" Wade Phillips said after the game. "Everyone was pointing at us (after previous games), and it was them (the Seahawks) jumping offsides two times in a row. We've worked hard at that and we did cut down on penalties and we did cut down on penalties in the first four games an d...

The Cowboys owned a 28-point lead with a little more than 9:31 left to go in the game when Tony Romo took the field with the offense. A few things. One, if the Cowboys planned on handing off the rest of the time, why not hand the ball off on first down from their own 13-yard line?

DALLAS - Cowboys coach Wade Phillips offered a questionable excuse as to why he kept Tony Romo in the game in the fourth quarter. The TD Phillips referred to made it 38-17 Dallas - the final score - with 8:40 left. Considering how well the Cowboys defense played in the second half, it's doubtfu...

ARLINGTON - Wade Phillips has replaced left tackle Flozell Adams with little-used Doug Free, but he's still got Tony Romo in the game. Makes no sense to me. It should be a no-brainer to take Romo out and give Jon Kitna some snaps. Cowboys lead 38-17 with 4 minutes left.

ARLINGTON - Despite a 28-point lead, Wade Phillips hasn't pulled any starters. Seattle just recovered a Tony Romo fumble inside the 10. The turnovers, Dallas' first of the game, led to a Seahawks field goal that cut the Cowboys' lead to 38-17 with 8:40 left.

ARLINGTON - With the Cowboys leading 38-10, is it time for Wade Phillips to rest some starters? It will be interesting to see if Phillips pulls Tony Romo (20 of 34 for 237 yards and three TDs without an interceptions) or Miles Austin (five catches for 61 yards).

Just when Dallas Cowboys' coach Wade Phillips said Nick Folk was back to last year's form after dealing with hip problems, he missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter. Folk had made his previous five field-goal tries.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Patrick Crayton lost two jobs after one game, then responded by scoring two touchdowns in the next. That's just what those around the self-described "seventh-rounder coming out of a small school" would have expected. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips even suggested t...

By CHAREAN WILLIAMS IRVING — Tony Romo is in love again. The Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback is throwing touchdowns and winning games. He is joking with the media and smiling in the huddle. He’s had two big games right in a row," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "I’m pleased with where he is."

ARLINGTON - The Cowboys are loose again, even as they make mistakes, even with Wade Phillips waddling around. They think they have a chance now, and this is what one player can do.

This was a bye week for the Dallas Cowboys of Arlington, but — Jerry Jones decided — not for Wade Phillips. Did you see those putrid uniforms with brown pants and yellow jerseys that the Denver Broncos wore last weekend? They looked like a bunch of corn dogs with mustard on top.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will spend Saturday afternoon in Charleston, Ill., at his alma mater, Eastern Illinois, where his No. 17 jersey will be retired during halftime of the Panthers’ 93rd homecoming game against Ohio Valley Conference rival Tennessee Tech.

By Bob Cunningham Dick Jauron (Buffalo Bills) Wade Phillips (Dallas Cowboys) Phillips is a fantastic defensive coordinator. However, he's not a head coach. He proved that in Denver, but for some reason, Jerry Jones thought he knew more than anyone else. Jim Zorn (Washington Redskins)

Since starting the Wade Phillips era in 2007 with 12 wins in their first 13 games, the Cowboys have gone 12-12, including the 2007 playoff loss to the New York Giants. Taking over at Denver’s 27, the Cowboys didn’t even get a field goal as Romo was intercepted by cornerback Champ Bailey five p...

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Jerry Jones is working on a plan to bring the Olympics — the entire Olympics — to Cowboys Stadium? A week later, I still am trying to decide who to credit for shutting down the Carolina Panthers’ running game: Wade Phillips’ defense or Panthers offen...

By Rafael Vela This week, Dallas plays a team that mirrors it schematically.  New head coach Josh McDaniels and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan are running offensive and defensive game plans that will give you a sense of deja vu; they're very similar to the ones Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett have bee...

By Mike Carley But after THE most discouraging and uninspired half of football (out of the eight) ever played in Cowboys Stadium (take that corporate sponsorship), all it took was a reportedly legendary halftime diatribe by Wade Phillips to lead the Cowboys to 21 unanswered second half points and an a...

1. Right cornerback -- This is the only starting job still up for grabs. Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick both had excellent camps, although Jenkins' was interrupted for a week by a sprained ankle. Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips both said the injury didn't hurt Jenkins in this competition,...

By Brian Lumpkin It sure seems like it.  Wade Phillips has been talking about all of this change he plans on making for the start of the 09-10 season.  The Cowboys started it off on the right foot by getting rid of locker room cancer Terrell Owens and all around idiot Pac-man Jones. 

By Joe Rodriguez Phillips touts his record in Dallas Following the Cowboys offseason theme of change, it looks like Wade Phillips will take a different approach in coaching the Cowboys this season. During one of his interviews in Dana Point, CA. Phillips elaborated by saying:

RANDY GALLOWAY A question here Wednesday for Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten: Can 2009 be any different with the softy, Wade Phillips, as head coach, and Owens as the off-season reality TV show poster child? Can the Cowboys’ locker room provide enough of those players?

By Joe Rodriguez Wade Phillips will be on a 3-6 game leash, if we have a losing record early on, then Jerry pulls the plug on Phillips, at which point Jason Garrett will take over a team is complete disaray, he too will fail miserably. The Cowboys will probably finish 5-11, or 6-10 at best. So, the draft for 2010 w...

By Byron For me, the saddest part is trying to decide whether or not to continue being a Cowboys fan. I’m finding it harder and harder to pull for a team with an ecotistical owner like Jerry Jones and his joke of a head coach, Wade Phillips. Phillips is like Norv Turner. A great coordinator, but a lousy hea...

By Joe Rodriguez If there were any questions as to who was running the defense, all those questions have been answered by now. Wade Phillips has taken the helm on defense and ever since the change the Cowboys Defense has turned it around. The pressure is there, the execution is there, and the 3rd down stoppage...

RANDY GALLOWAY With the Cowboys’ defense now playing better, Wade Phillips, a rumor of a head coach, apparently felt it was time to upgrade his résumé for next season. Some team out there will need an experienced defensive coordinator, right?

By Drew Magary Steelers at Ravens: God damn, Mike Tomlin is one cool motherfucker. I half expect the guy to moonlight as a bassist for the Robert Cray Band. I’ve seen me some stark contrasts in my day, but seeing Mike Tomlin rock a puffy jacket vs. seeing Wade Phillips rock a puffy jacket has to rank somewhere n...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) That ought to be manageable," Jones said. You can see how the climate can change pretty quickly," head coach Wade Phillips said of his 8-4 team, which would pull into a tie for the top wild-card spot if Tampa Bay (8-3) loses Sunday. I think Romo has a man-crush on him. Romo concurs:

By Andy Benoit New York Jets 34, Tennessee Titans 13 Dallas Cowboys 35, San Francisco 49ers 22 One mistake Wade Phillips made was leaving Tony Romo and Marion Barber in the game down the stretch. Dallas had a comfortable lead and should have been thinking about preserving key players for Thanksgiving.

By Josh Satler Ever since Wade Phillips assumed defensive play calling duties, the Cowboys have responded outside of the shellacking the Giants gave them in the Meadowlands. Look for Dallas to contain RB Gore and then send DeMarcus Ware and Co. after Hill, forcing him into sacks and a few turnovers.

Johnson: 5 of 11, 71 yards, 2 Ints, 27.3 quarterback rating. We didn't protect the quarterback when either of them were in," Dallas coach Wade Phillips said afterward. "We've only won one of the three with them (since Romo's injury), and it's not all the quarterbacks' fault, obviously."

By Matt Loede Of the nine 1pm EST games, the most interesting one to me by far is the Bucs showdown in Big D with the Cowboys. How bad do the Cowboys need this game? They have lost their last two, and tensions are mounting in Dallas against Wade Phillips and a team that with 13 Pro Bowl players is clearly in big t...

By joshua penny The Dallas Cowboys are not that team. They do not give that effort or display that heart, and as much as I like Wade Phillips and despite the fact he will be gone after this year, the coach is the one who is ultimately responsible for getting his team ready and in the right frame of mind to play the...

By Joe Rodriguez KTVT-TV in Dallas (CBS 11) is reporting that Adam “Pacman” Jones got into a violent altercation with a member of his security detail at a hotel in downtown Dallas last night. Wade Phillips said CB Terence Newman is “probably out” of Sunday’s game in Arizona because of an abdominal strain, n...

By TheBigLead 3. Washington (4). Nice kicks, Campbell. 4. Dallas (3). You want Felix and Barber to get at least a combined 35 carries, but if that’s the case, Owens will cry. What’s Wade Phillips to do? 23. San Francisco 49ers (22). Silver lining? With Alex Smith, they’d be winless.

With the status of suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones uncertain -- Wade Phillips isn't talking about him and Jerry Jones said Saturday there is no timetable whether Jones can even work out with the team -- Jenkins will be penciled in as the No. 3 corner. Scandrick is competing for the f...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) TM: The offense was very good last year – the best statistically since the Cowboys’ Super Bowl teams – and made a major upgrade at right guard by signing Bigg Davis. The defense was pretty good until the bottom fell out in December, and Wade Phillips was hired to fix it. Sure looks good so far. The...

Feb. 9, 2007 -- Wade a weird hire Wade Phillips wasn't the Cowboys' first choice as head coach, and his hiring is a big mistake and won't lead to a Super Bowl. Visit http://jtthebrick.msnbc.com for more.
