KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: New head coach Jay Gruden ran a pass-heavy offense in Cincinnati, much more so than the Shanahans did the past two years. Gruden has strongly hinted toward scrapping the zone read option, which fueled a big part of Washington's success in the running game. Alfred Morris figures to lose a little more playing time to Roy Helu as the Redskins show a little more of a finesse game, but Morris will still do a solid amount of between-the-tackles grinding. Quarterback Robert Griffin III will see far fewer designed runs in an attempt to keep him healthy.
Gruden and new offensive coordinator Sean McVay, Washington's former tight ends coach, are both versed in a West Coast offense, so the passing game shouldn't look drastically different. They'll move Griffin around and rely on the catch-and-run ability of Pierre Garcon and tight end Jordan Reed, who is in for a much larger role in this offense. He's a matchup nightmare in the middle of the field who will also be used heavily in the screen game. When they throw inside the 20, Garcon has always been Griffin's favorite red-zone target. They figure to work some different looks for Reed, and second tight end Logan Paulsen saw a fair amount of play-action looks inside the five. They'll use a lot of three-receiver sets with Andre Roberts stepping in as a slot guy, while DeSean Jackson will be an every-down deep threat.
The Redskins made some strong free-agent signings like defensive tackle Jason Hatcher, free safety Ryan Clark, cornerback Tracy Porter and linebacker Akeem Jordan. But this defense has a long way to go to reach respectability after a season where they ranked tied for 30th in the NFL in scoring defense and 27th in yards per play.
DALLAS: Offensive line coach Bill Callahan is expected to relinquish play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan in order to focus on improving the Cowboys' anemic rushing attack. They end up abandoning the run early in many games, as the zone-blocking scheme that Callahan implemented has yet to take hold. DeMarco Murray will take a headlining role again in this backfield, especially in the red zone, and he'll keep that role until his next injury. Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar will fight for scraps.
Linehan ran a pass-happy offense in Detroit, similar to what the Cowboys have run. He's an Air Coryell disciple with a system that uses a lot of top-down reads, looking to take advantage of the deep ball. Dez Bryant is the obvious No. 1 receiver in this offense, and Linehan will likely move him around more than Dallas has done in the past. Tight end Jason Witten provides another chess piece type of weapon to wreak some havoc. Terrance Williams steps in as the No. 2 and will be used primarily as a deep threat. The Cowboys will use two tight ends as often as they go three-wide, meaning third wideout Cole Beasley and second TE Gavin Escobar will essentially split playing time. Dallas was one of the league's most pass-heavy red zone teams last year, a trend that's likely to continue this season. Bryant is the top target near the goal line, with Witten a close second.
Dallas DL coach Rod Marinelli will take over defensive coordinator duties in 2014, hoping to generate more turnovers like he did with the Bears (44 TO in 2012). But the Cowboys still give up tons of yards and will have much fewer sacks after losing both DE DeMarcus Ware (117 career sacks) and DT Jason Hatcher (11 sacks in 2013).
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW (WASHINGTON-DALLAS) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Redskins-Cowboys Preview* ==========================

The Dallas Cowboys are rolling to a degree that is even surprising owner Jerry Jones thanks to the productivity of DeMarco Murray and Tony Romo.

Their next opponent, the Washington Redskins, isn't even sure who will start at quarterback.

The Cowboys seek a seventh straight win Monday night when they host a Redskins team that will likely give third-stringer Colt McCoy his first start in three years.

Dallas (6-1) is enjoying its longest win streak since a seven-game run in 2007. That has surprised Jones, who called the Cowboys a team with plenty to prove before the season.

"I think our record is above what we could have expected, but we have it and it's a credit to a team that's building in confidence," he said.

Murray is the catalyst, becoming the first running back in league history to start a season with seven straight 100-yard efforts. He leads the NFL with 913 yards and seven rushing touchdowns, gaining 128 yards on 28 carries with a score in last Sunday's 31-21 win over the Giants.

The fourth-year pro has a league-high 187 carries - 61 more than any other player.

"Teams have geared up to stop the run and even though they've done that we've still been able to continue to run the football and DeMarco's a big part of that," coach Jason Garrett said. "I think he's seeing the holes well, he's feeling the softness well and like he always does, he finishes runs."

The NFL's top rushing attack has made life easier for Romo, who has a league-high 69.2 completion percentage. His passer rating is a career-best 104.7 after he threw for 279 yards and three scores last weekend.

"Obviously we were very productive in the passing game," Garrett said. "We didn't throw it that much but when we threw it I think he was 17 out of 23, averaged over 10 yards an attempt, big-time plays down the field, made a lot of little plays, his pocket presence was outstanding."

Washington (2-5) ended a four-game slide with last Sunday's 19-17 win over Tennessee. McCoy was 11 of 12 for 128 yards and a touchdown in relief of an ineffective Kirk Cousins, who was intercepted for the NFC-worst ninth time.

Coach Jay Gruden has named McCoy the starter Monday, though he also said there is a chance that Robert Griffin III can return from a five-game absence due to an injured left ankle.

"I've already made the decision. I've said it's going to be Colt," Gruden said. "I've said Robert will be the wild card, possibly, if he's ready to go, and that still hasn't been decided yet."

Gruden said Griffin has yet to be cleared for full contact, and that he'd like to see Griffin go through a couple of days of rigorous practice once the OK comes from doctors.

"There's a lot of variances as to whether or not we think he'll be ready for Monday night," the coach said.

McCoy went 6-15 as a starter between 2010-11 with Cleveland. He thinks his experience as a backup the last two years will help him Monday.

"I would say I'm older, maybe a little bit stronger," McCoy said. "I think I've learned from my past experiences and watched a lot of good quarterbacks play and hopefully by doing that you naturally gain a little bit of confidence even though you're standing on the sidelines."

These teams feature explosive receivers. The Cowboys' Dez Bryant enters Week 8 in eighth place in the league with 590 yards and the Redskins' DeSean Jackson is ninth with 528.

Jackson, however, had one receiving touchdown in 10 games against the Cowboys with NFC East rival Philadelphia.

The Redskins could use a boost from Alfred Morris, averaging a career-low 62.9 yards on the ground. The third-year back gained 313 in a sweep of Dallas in 2012 before amassing 168 last year in two defeats.

Washington will be without three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo, who will miss the rest of the season due to surgery on a torn right pectoral muscle. Rookie second-round pick Trent Murphy will start in Orakpo's spot.

The Redskins have dropped eight straight to NFC East foes for their longest skid in the division since a 15-game slide from 1993-94.
