Cowboys ready for ‘aggressive’ Redskins
By Mike Dyce
The Dallas Cowboys desperately need a win over the Washington Redskins, but they know the Redskins will play they’re usual style of football. What kind of football is that?
“They’re an aggressive team anyway,” coach Jason Garrett said. “They’re aggressive on offense. They’re certainly aggressive with their defense and their overall approach. That’s an element to this game, there’s no question about that.”
Tight end Jason Witten knows the Redskins won’t roll over though, and they’ll be ready.
“They’ve got a lot of proud players,” Witten said. “[Brian] Orakpo is playing, in my mind as good as I’ve seen him play. They have good leadership. I know defensively Fletcher, Orakpo, [Ryan] Kerrigan, they’re going to rally the troops and play well. It’s always a fight in this league and especially when we go against them. I think we anticipate anything or even more because their mentality is ‘we’re out of it but we’re going to build on this.’ We’ve got to be ready for this fight.”
