Tony Romo: Good Tony Will Show Up Tonight Against Philadelphia

Tony Romo, the poster boy for erratic quarterback play, has been Hall of Fame good and Joey Harrington bad this season, constantly vacillating between hero and goat.

Tonight, I think good Tony will show up for Dallas when they take on NFC East rival Philadelphia.

In seven career starts against the Eagles, Romo has been his usual inconsistent self. He's thrown as many interceptions as touchdowns (10) against Andy Reid's crew.

Romo threw for just 166 yards in last week's blowout win against St. Louis, his lowest total of the season. But that was because the Cowboys could rely on rookie running back DeMarco Murray, who ran for an absurd 253 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown.

The Cowboys will follow a similar game plan tonight against Philly and their horrible run defense.

The Eagles are 23rd in opponents' rushing yards per game (123.8), 26th in opponents' yards per carry (4.8) and have given up six rushing touchdowns this season.

They also have one of the league's best pass defenses, which means Dallas would be smart to give the ball to Murray early and often.

Last week, Murray had more carries (25) than Romo did passing attempts (24). You should expect similar figures tonight.

There's no denying Romo's talent with the ball in his hands, but he's very turnover prone. Against this Eagles defense, the Cowboys should ride Murray all game long.

I think Romo will do just fine, simply because he won't have to try to be spectacular.

As long as he hands the ball off to Murray, doesn't turn the ball over and makes a big play or two, the Cowboys will come out on top.
