Oh It's On

I guarantee this'll get the blood pumping for ya:

Rookie first-round pick Mike Jenkins, a cornerback, waxed emphatic when asked about prospects for the Dallas defense.

"I feel like it can be one of the best defenses that ever played the game," he said. "We're filled with talent at each position, starters and backups."

Jenkins said he's sure Browns fans remember Bobby Carpenter, a former Ohio State star who for now is behind veteran Zach Thomas at one of the inside linebacker spots.

Carpenter, a No. 18 overall draft pick in 2006, a backup? That's depth...

Jerry Jones makes sure the world acknowledges his Cowboys, who sent 13 players to this year's Pro Bowl.

We'll let Calvin Hill tell us what 13 stuffed-ballot-box Pro Bowlers buys you in January:

"We thought we were ready to take that step last year," Hill said. "Hopefully the frustration of what happened in that playoff loss to the Giants will keep us focused all year.

He calls it "depth", I call it "Bobby Carpenter is a bust."

I guess we're just splitting hairs.

Since they've moved Carpenter around in a desperate attempt to get him on the field and he's now sitting behind a 35-year-old LB with a history of concussions playing in a 3-4 for the first time in his career, I daresay Brian has a point.

Besides, what the hell does a rookie know about what a great NFL defense looks like from the inside?

Saturday afternoon listening to 950 and one of the hosts was using Pro Bowl Seasons as a stat to measure Andy's drafting prowess. He didnt mention if they were the stuffed-ballot-box variety or the legit kind.
