The big mouth may be gone from the Dallas Cowboys' offense, but the big play is obviously still there.
That's what jumped out at the Giants Wednesday, when they got their first look on film at the new-look Cowboys. Terrell Owens and his popcorn may be in Buffalo, but what he left behind in Dallas was enough to light up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 462 yards last Sunday. That includes four plays that accounted for 232 of those yards.
And the Giants just know the 'Boys plan to dial up a few more big plays for the big opening of their new, palatial, $1.15 billion home.
"Obviously Dallas displayed its big-play ability," Tom Coughlin said. "You look at the big-play production, all the way along. They had an 80-, a 66-, a 42-yarder. The ball was spread around. A lot of people touched the ball."
"They had 400-something total yards as an offense," added linebacker Danny Clark. "At the end of the day, we know it's going to be a big challenge."
Whatever the reason, Tony Romo seemed to have little trouble without Owens - who for all the problems he caused still had three seasons of at least 69 catches, 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in Dallas. Romo, who completed 16 of 27 passes, ripped the Bucs' defense for 353 yards and three touchdowns. He hit six different receivers, and the Cowboys rattled off six plays of 20 yards or more.
