Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has admitted that he is expecting a blitz defense from the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

Garrett's team face the Bengals in their final pre-season match and fully expects Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to play an attacking defense.

"On Yeah, Zim's an aggressive, competitive guy," the Star-Telegram quotes Garrett as saying. "He brought it all in the first pre-season games. That's just his nature.

"He's brought it all since I've known him. That's what makes Zim great. You've got to be ready for that stuff. We watched some of the game from last year. We watched the first two games. You have to be ready for anything.

"One of the things we believe in is hopefully you've structured your offensive and defensive systems in such a way that you don't have to game plan. You can kind of go by your rules to handle all of the different things you may or may not see. So hopefully we will be able to do that as a football team."

Garrett has been Cowboys coach since 2007.
