(Editor's Note: Each day we will take the 2 best questions for our staff writers to answer from the Mailbag. "Click here" to email questions now.)

CHARLES JOHNSON - CAMERON, TX: I hope the Cowboys don't eat the cheese and get trapped against the Seahawks. Besides the fact they're coming off the bye, everyone plays the Cowboys like it's the Super Bowl and they have to never forget that. Do you anticipate Seattle playing it tough on Sunday?

Nick: Yes, I do think it's tougher than people are expecting. Look how efficient the Cowboys were coming off the bye week. Seattle is doing the same and getting healthy in the process. I think the Cowboys have more talent, so without turnovers, they should win.

Rob: Yes, because Matt Hasselbeck is a good quarterback and they have some talent. But they're also hurting in the trenches. Offensive line is a question mark and Lofa Tatupu's injury will hurt their run defense. The Cowboys should be able to win both battles up front.

Josh: I'll just be honest - I don't see any way the Cowboys lose to Seattle other than by turning the ball over a few times. Given the injuries they have on the offensive line it's probably going to be a long day for Matt Hasselbeck, especially since their running back doesn't scare you. This is not to say the Cowboys can go in Sunday and give a half effort, but if they play their game and protect the ball relatively well they should win.

DARRELL NORTON - RICHMOND, VA: Mike Jenkins is really starting to round into a good cornerback, stopping the run and playing good coverage too. What does this allow Wade Phillips to do with the defense?

Nick: Well, obviously you can be more aggressive with your pass rush if you have faith in your cornerbacks. Not only can you press more with a guy like Jenkins because of his coverage ability, but it's an advantage to have him so close to the line of scrimmage if he can tackle that well. I knew he was strong, but he's been very physical at the point of attack this year.

Rob: Mix up some coverages and be a little more aggressive man-to-man. Jenkins played like a Pro Bowler against Atlanta. His open-field tackling is really impressive to me, and he's quieted any perception last year that he wasn't willing to stick his nose in there.

Josh: I think Wade can be more comfortable sending extra guys at the quarterback since both cornerbacks ought to be able to run with most receivers. That's the main thing. And if you trust Jenkins against whoever he's covering you should be able to divert safety help elsewhere if it's needed.
