Hes a great TE and a tough guy, but I don't know how effective hes going to be if he takes a shot in the ribs Sunday in the meadowlands.

He's a tough guy, he refuses to come out. When he broke the rib, he returned even though he didn't last long.

Like I said, very tough guy. But how effective can he be once he gets hit there? I guess we'll see. I dont think they need him to have a big day to win. The Cowboys' biggest concern should be to run the football.

If Brad Johnson starts we will need him, since Johnson can't throw more than 15 yards.
