ESPN Chat - Jeremy Green from ESPN Insider
Tyrone (DC): JG - why are you so high on the Cowboys? We all know the O-line is suspect, immobile QB and average secondary. Sure, TO helps, but its not like McNabb is throwing to him. Its Bledsoe. Thoughts?
Jeremy Green: I am a little higer on the O-line than most people. They get Adams back and either Pettiti or Fabini to swing at both OT spots depending on who is not the starter. Their depth is better. I disagree with the secondary too. I think we can expect far fewer mentals from Henry and Williams now that they are more cmfortable in the system. I like this team on defense, and think the offense will be better.

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ): Seriously, as a Giants fan, I'm glad everyone is predicting the Boys, Birds, and Skins to win the division. *Respect* is totally overrated, and if the prognosticators decide that the Skins *really* improved this off-season (unlike the 6 other off seasons where they *really* improved), or that the Eagles had just such an awesome draft that they can't be stopped, or that TO + Bledsoe is finally the magic combo, I'll take that. Forget Arrington, Moss, Demps, etc etc. What everyone should really do is focus on that lousey playoff game and forget the Giants lost no key players, and improved in every offensive, defensive, and special teams catagory a team can collectivly improve in. Think about the Panthers loss, the other 16 games were an illusion. Forget the Giants. Seeya in January.
Jeremy Green: Ephraim you are a little too hostile right now.... I like the Giants to finsih 3rd in the division behind Dalls and Washington.

Chris _(Hercules, CA): How does the new 3-4 look in Dallas? Is Carpenter as good as advertised? What can you tell me about Jason Hatcher the third rounder?
Jeremy Green: It looks good. Carpenter will be a steady player which is good because this defense gives up too many big plays due to mentals. Hatcher is one of the few true DE's in this draft after Wlliams went. He is a big body that can play the run. He was like 290 coming out of Grambling, and he will only get better once he gets in a structured weight program.
