It's time for the first edition of my new weekly feature, "Star That." Here is the main thing that I think the Cowboys need to do to be succesfsul on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
* Shut down the run: With a depleted secondary, Dallas is going to be a little bit exposed went it comes to defending the pass down the field. But if the defense can shut down Edjerrin James in the first half it will be easier to lock in on Warner's intentions down the field.
The Cowboys will be able to take a few men out of the box and run more nickel and dime packages in the second half, because with WRs like Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Bolden on the roster we know that Arizona is dedicated to the pass no matter what.
For Dallas to be successful they are going to need to be able to throw soem extra guys on the field to help out in that secondary, but if James has a decent day than the Dallas Defensive Tackles are going to have to stay on the field.
But Bolden is injured as well as all three of the Arizona Tight Ends. And James, is only averaging 3.6 yds/game. Advantage Dallas.

ASSIGNMENT - Do the Cowboys need to trade for Lions wide receiver Roy Williams (that's the hot Dallas rumor right now)? Why or why not?
Warner just doesn't have the weapons this week. Boldin being out is huge because he takes pressure off Fitzgerald and together they open up things in the run game and give Warner time. The Boys just need to blitz, blitz, and then blitz some more. Knock Warner around and the game will be over from there.
