Eagles vs. Cowboys: Dallas stars worth discussing who are not named Dak Prescott

Here are a handful of Cowboys that Brian Johnson is no doubt doing his homework on.

Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson will need to do and is no doubt doing his homework on the Cowboys defense. Here are five names to place in the back of your minds as we near kickoff in Week 14 on Sunday Night Football.

6. Dan Quinn, Cowboys defensive coordinator

On Sunday night, Brian Johnson will call his 13th game as Eagles offensive coordinator. We have lost track of how many gameday calls this will be for Dan Quinn. He's done this for a long time though. He's a monster.

His Cowboys defenses have never really stopped the Eagles consistently as of late, but his duel with Johnson should be a nice watch.

7. Micah Parsons, EDGE

Well, you had to know we'd bring this guy up. Micah Parsons may want to be an Eagle, but he isn't, at least not yet. He leads Dallas with 11.5 sacks this season. No one else has more than five.

8. DeMarcus Lawrence, EDGE

Lane Johnson earned the Eagles' nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. DeMarcus Lawrence earned the same honor for Dallas. That's awesome. Now, on to football.

We learned long ago that DeMarcus Lawrence will never receive a key to Philadelphia's city. More often than not, Lane has had his number, but you can't discuss the Cowboys' pass rush without mentioning Number 90.

9. Damone Clark, linebacker

Damone Clark is everywhere when the ball is snapped. No tailback, tight end, or quarterback is safe when he's on the field. He leads Dallas in both solo tackles (50) and total team stops (79).

10. DaRon Bland , cornerback

Year after year, we tell ourselves the Cowboys' secondary can be had, and often, that's true. Year after year, they also have these guys that just stack the interceptions. If they aren't turning them into pick-sixes, they're creating extra opportunities for their offense.

This season, DaRon Bland has been the star of all of those Sportscenter highlights. He has hauled in eight interceptions. Five have been returned for six points.

Worth noting: Keep an eye on Rico Dowdle, Brandin Cooks, Setphon Gilmore, Jonathan Hankins, Zack Martin, and Tyron Smith. All were listed on the Cowboys' injury report this week, Lawrence, Martin, and Smith were given rest days on Wednesday. Everyone
