FOXBORO --Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett took time out of his day Wednesday to talk about a few of the Patriots linemen that stick out to him and may cause his team some problems on this weekend.
First, Garrett praised defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth,and said that when he plays, him and Vince Wilfork together can be a handfulfor any offense.
I think Haynesworths done an outstanding job for them,said Garrett in a conference call on Wednesday. Hes a big body. Hes veryexplosive. Hes strong. Hes quick. He can be a really disruptive force in themiddle of the defense, both in the run game and in the pass game. You pair himwith Wilfork inside, and theyre really a formidable duo, theres no questionabout that.
When hes been out there playing, hes been playing verywell, and hell be a great challenge for our football team.
Garrett also praised rookie offensive lineman Nate Solder,who the Patriots selected with the 17th overall pick in this years draft. Garrettsaid that Solder was someone the Cowboys were very interested in, when draftingin April.
We had him very high on our draft board, said Garrett. Weliked him very much.

I think there are a lot of discussions that you have abouta lot of different players. So I dont think its fair to say that we wouldtake this guy or wouldnt have taken this guy. You never know what you woulddo, until that situation comes up. But we had him here in the Valley Ranch. Wespent a lot of time with him. We certainly watched a lot of tape of him. Hecertainly was in that top tackle group that we were considering very strongly.
