The point is that Big D needs more (some?) picks if it truly hopes to have a “Super” season, and what better week to start turning it around than this coming Sunday’s match-up with the Bengals. With Carson Palmer unlikely to play for the second straight week, Ryan Fitzpatrick is once again the projected starter. Last week against the struggling Browns he threw 3 picks and, over the course of his career, has thrown more than twice as many interceptions as touchdowns. Now, the Bengals may try to rely on their ground game, but, with Chris Perry averaging a measly 2.9 yards per carry, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll have to take to the air to try to keep up with the ‘Boys’ high-voltage offense. Once this occurs, Dallas’ secondary needs to be ready. These will not be perfectly placed balls, and it shouldn’t be a surprise if T-New adds six more points to his career total.

the team—plus, the secondary has been dramatically improved with the additions of Adam Jones, Mike Jenkins, and Orlando Scandrick in place of Jacques Reeves and Nathan Jones.

crazy like carrying six CBs). The talent level at the competition for those spots is high.
Mike Jenkins, the Cowboys second first-round pick, seems to be the leader of the pack for the number four spot, but Orlando Scandrick, a steal in the fifth round, could make a push in training camp. Barring that, Scandrick will be competing with Evan Oglesby, Alan Ball, and Quincy Butler for that fifth spot. While Scandrick has loads of upside, each player brings something to the table. During mini-camps, Deion Sanders stopped by and told gathered media to keep an eye out for Oglesby. I think it's fair to say that Prime Time knows his way around the cornerback position.
