IRVING -- Cowboys running back Marion Barber hasn't spoken to the media in two months.

Well we got him, after he was threatened with getting fined $25,000 by the league.

Here's the Q&A:

How important is the next few weeks for the Cowboys? "It's very important. We just got to make sure we stay on top and get ready for the game day-by-day."

Have things been tough on you to get going because of your health? "No, no, it's all about winning games at the end of the day."

How is your health? "I'm good."

Are you 100 percent? "I'm good. I'm good. I'm good to go."

How do you slow down the Saints offense? "We got to control the clock and execute and make sure at the end of the day, make plays."

Wade says the team isn't desperate, is that good? "As long as we stay on top of our game. We know we had a great week of practice and we just have to come out and be ready to play Saturday night. The skies the limit for us."

You had four plays inside the 5 last week. How tough was that not to punch it in? "It was tough because every play is important. This next week we got to make sure we execute on every play."
