07:53 AM ET 12.17 | Wade Phillips surprised many last week when he announced that he has been calling all the plays since the Tampa Bay game. The Cowboys have played lights-out defense ever since, so the natural assumption was that the Cowboys are playing better primarily because Phillips got involved. Well, several Cowboys players have gone out of their way in the last week to let it be known that not much has changed with the play-calling from earlier in the season and that defensive coordinator Brian Stewart is still an active defensive play-caller. Everybody's saying, "Wade calls the plays, Stew calls the plays, but the whole season both of the guys have been calling plays the whole time," linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. Cornerback Terence Newman said nothing has changed as far as he is concerned with the play-calling. In fact, he said Stewart does more than people think and doesn't get nearly the credit that he deserves.
