CB Nnamdi Asomugha

On his thoughts about the depth at cornerback: "Yeah, we were just talking about it, me and (CB Joselio) Hanson maybe about five minutes ago, so we still didn't know what was going to happen. So I feel like it's good that we have this many corners on the team, I guess maybe not the number but we have this many talented corners on the team so we can fit people in when somebody goes down, if need be. I don't think every team has that to their advantage."

On his thoughts about CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's maturation process this season: "I mean, he's been a good player before he came here this year, so that was never in question. But like everything else learning this new system, it wasn't going to be a quick turnaround for him, I think. And then, the injury – I don't know how many games he missed, maybe four or so, but we brought him back slowly. And when you come back from injury, then the confidence has to play a part and you have to start getting that back and be sure of yourself. And we're starting to see that a lot more from him, that he's putting the injury behind him and he's playing better through it."

On his memory of the 2008 regular season finale between the Raiders and Buccaneers that coincidentally helped the Eagles into the playoffs: "I think a few things had to happen, it wasn't just us. But we knew going into it – we weren't playing for the Eagles at that point – and we were saying that we were playing the spoiler role. And we knew that if we win and this happens then the Eagles would be in. I remember us talking about it, (and former Oakland defensive coordinator) Rob Ryan made it a point in the meetings talking about it and letting us know that we can let some other teams get in.

"And these guys talk about it all of the time when they talk about this year versus things that have happened in the past. So it kind of lets you know that anything's possible and you kind of have to take care of your own business and see what happens."

QB Michael Vick

On whether the success they had against Dallas is sometimes different the second time around: "Yeah, very well can be, so that's why we have to make sure that we're very prepared and ready to go to play this game."

On whether the team is feeling good about things right now: "Yeah, you just feel good about what we're doing right now. You know obviously not at all pleased with our position, but the opportunity is there that awaits us and opportunities that can be taken advantage of if the right things happen. So we just want to make sure we're prepared."

On whether he has ever played with a player with the talent of RB LeSean McCoy: "I think I've played with some great backs; I've played with (former RB) Warrick Dunn, in college I played with (RB) Lee Suggs. So you know I've been around some good ones but he's definitely up in the higher echelon as far as one of the best that I've ever played with."

On his thoughts about what makes McCoy so special: "Just everything he does (because) he can do it all. He has speed, he has moves, he's smart in the protection game and just a complete player all around."

On whether it is nice to have everyone back and healthy on the offensive side of the ball: "Yeah, it's always a good thing when you have everybody healthy and playing their best football and just being accountable on the field each and every week. And it's hard to be in that position throughout a 16-game season, but it feels good going down the stretch to have everybody ready to go and in good spirits."

On his thoughts about T Jason Peters: "I mean, Jason's our catalyst for our success up front. He does a great job with the younger guys and guys feed off him and his play, and he demands a lot out of the younger guys. You need those types of veterans on this team and it takes a savvy veteran team in order to build a championship-caliber team. And I think we're starting to understand that now."

On his thoughts about why teams don't want to play the Eagles: "Well I think we still bring a lot to the table when we come to play. I mean we haven't lost confidence in what we do and we haven't wavered from what we try to do on Sundays and we just try to come out and try to give it our best. And we know what type of talent we have and our offensive coaching staff knows exactly what needs to be done against certain defenses in order to have success and we just try to go out there and get it done."

On his thoughts about the Dallas defense: "They have a good defense, a good sound defense, play well, do a lot of good things and we have to go out and really execute against them."

RB LeSean McCoy

On his thoughts about the difficulties of playing in a hostile environment in Dallas: "I think it will be big knowing the situation that it is, they need to win, and the situation that we're in, we're trying to get a win. It's clutch time and I'm sure guys will be pumped up. And not only that, but it's around the holidays, so the game will be pumped up enough."

On whether he sees anything different about the Cowboys defense now from the first game: "They're a good defense, they're fast, they're athletic, they're quick, so it will be a good game. If we just go in there and play our game we'll be fine. But it depends on what type of team shows up. Some teams show up and the turnover team and driving and get a turnover, fumbles, picks, but there's another team that comes to play and executes, holding onto the ball, all of them things."

On whether he expects their defensive gameplan to focus in on him: "I'm not sure because that was some games ago and we've played some games that we really didn't run the ball as well, and then some games we did. So I'm not sure what their gameplan will be. I'm sure I'll be in there somewhere, but like I said before we have so many weapons on this offense that they have to be aware of where everybody's at."

On what it would mean to him to win the rushing title: "It would mean a lot. It would mean a lot to me because as a player coming into this league I would never have imagined I would be up for a rushing title, things like that. And also, it would be a good honor to kind of show my linemen how much I appreciate them for blocking so well for me this year."
