Dallas News: Phillips' goal was to stop Pats' running game
Writing in The Dallas Morning News, Tim Cowlishaw reports that Wade Phillips remains unapologetic about his strategy for defending the Patriots in Sunday's game, even if the strategy sounds almost absurd now.
"Phillips acknowledged at his Monday news conference that the Cowboys' approach was to stop Sammy Morris and make Tom Brady beat them," Cowlishaw says.
Later, he writes: "In other words, he's walking Julio Lugo and Coco Crisp to get to Big Papi and Manny." Good comparison.
