Cowboy's Owner Pep Rally; Cromartie best No. 2 Jets WR; Locker favored to start in Tennessee




ESPN.com NFC East Blogger Dan Graziano reports Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones said at a pep rally "Y'all should come to Cowboys Stadium and watch us beat the Giants' asses." Nobody should take this comment into too much thought. It was, after all, said at a pep rally. Let's not forget that recently acquired Giant and former Cowboy TE Martellus Bennett said he wants to do the same to the Cowboys.

Mike Sando of ESPN.com believes that new Seahawk TE Kellen Winslow is more durable that new Vikings and former Seahawk TE John Carlson. He is likely correct in that presumption, Carlson sprained his MCL and is on the Vikings injury list.

James Walker of ESPN.com talks about the problems with the Jets WR depth. Jets CB Antonio Cromartie has been lining up at WR, and believes he is the second-best WR on the team. No. 1 is of course Santonio Holmes, but then there is rookie Kendall Hunter, veteran Chaz Shilens and second-year Jeremy Kerley.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Tennessee Titans second-year QB Jake Locker is favored to start over fiery veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck. Locker looked showed promise coming off the bench as a rookie while Hasslebeck was injured. This could be interesting for Matt Hasselbeck next season if he doesn't give retirement a thought. While Hasselbeck is older, he could be a solid backup to any team with a young QB.

The NFL Network crew debates if the Chicago Bears have finally caught up with the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. I think the Bears are definitely contenders in not just the NFC North but the NFC as a conference. But the Packers are perhaps the best team in the NFC, but the Bears have improved a lot on offense between picking up WR Brandon Marshall and resigning RB Matt Forte.
