Kolb No. 1 on Depth Chart; Cowboys Open Up Training Camp; Brees Comments on Goodell

With the Hall of Fame Exhibition Game less than a week away, the Arizona Cardinals have released their depth chart for the game. Kevin Kolb is in the No. 1 spot at QB. Mike Sando of ESPN.com breaks down what this could mean for the preseason and training camp. Kevin Kolb right now is likely the best choice at that position because aside from being injury prone, he has not done anything to show why he shouldn't be. The Arizona Cardinals will square off against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, in a game which will be an interesting game for both.

Speaking of the New Orleans Saints, their QB Drew Brees had some very harsh words to say about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Peter King, of Sports Illustrated, writes about the conversation he had with Drew Brees, including about Goodell. "On NFL players' attitudes to Goodell: Brees got quiet and thought for a moment, then said: 'Nobody trusts him. Nobody trusts him. I'm not talking about a DUI, or using a gun in a strip club, which are pretty clear violations. I think there're too many times where the league has come to its decision in a case before calling a guy in, and the interview is just a façade. I think now if a guy has to come in to talk to Roger, he'll be very hesitant because he'll think the conclusion has already been reached.''

After having an uncharacteristically quiet offseason, aside from WR Dez Bryant and the splash in the draft to get Morris Clayborne, the Dallas Cowboys opened up their training camp in pads today. The Dallas Morning News offers an inside look into some of the match-ups. It is good to get Dez Bryant onto the field where he can show his talent in a favorable light. One of the interesting match-up are the wide receivers against the upgrade at corner with Brandon Carr and Morris Clayborne.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not having the best of openings to training camp. Between Maurice Jones-Drew holding out and rookie WR Justin Blackmon still out of camp, profootballtalk.com talks about the struggles of the Jaguars.
