Every week, the experts of FOX NFL Sunday will candidly reveal their observations and make their opinions known as they prepare for the top-rated pregame telecast — seen each Sunday at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT. We'll share with you some of the highlights from Curt, Terry, Howie, Jimmy and Michael grabbed from cheap nfl jerseys
their weekly conference call with insider John Czarnecki
This week, Czar probes the FOX NFL Sunday crew on the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets.
John Czarnecki: What were your impressions of the final play between the Cowboys and Redskins?
Howie Long: The way I looked at it was if Marion Barber just helps Alex Barron out and just chips at Brian Orakpo, they win the game.
Michael Strahan: I’ve been saying that every day. When you know a guy is having trouble blocking a guy, the coaches have to find a way to help him out in a key situation like that. It was just stupid that they didn’t have someone chipping that guy.
HL: I mean it just didn’t make sense that they allowed their weakest link on the backside to be left on an island like that. I don’t get it.
Czar: The Bears visit the Cowboys on Sunday. Can Dallas regroup and win?
Jimmy Johnson: Wade (Phillips) is really taking a beating on this. And I put it totally on Wade and I don’t put it on the players or even (offensive coordinator) Jason Garrett. His job is to find plays that will score. I mean, they don’t really have a play that will score a touchdown from 60 yards away with four seconds left. Just take a knee. Now, in this game, they are going to give the Bears a lot of trouble with their defense. They should really be able to harass Jay Cutler if DeMarcus Ware is healthy enough to play.

Czar: Another big game for the Jets with New England. Do you think Mark Sanchez can play a little better going against Tom Brady?
Terry Bradshaw: I made the comment to my neighbor is that Sanchez looked like a college quarterback. Set up real quick and throw the ball to one place. I think what the Jets did was gameplan it that way. I don’t think it was his fault. I have to assume they didn’t believe they could protect him. All they wanted out of him was to complete a 4-yard pass on third-and-3. The Jets did not give him a chance to play quarterback. They basically took him out of the offense. Plus, he looked too nervous and jittery back there.

HL: It’s like they were saying, "Just don’t screw it up." If I was looking at him as a defensive player, he looked real nervous and rattled. I mean, how could they have left their left guard on an island on a five-step drop? There were asking for a Haloti Ngata landing on their quarterback. Colts jersey
The difference to me in the game was the two young quarterbacks and that Baltimore’s receiving corps is better.
TB: Plus, they have to live with a head coach mouthing off.
MS: The problem is when you have a show like “Hard Knocks” is that guys watch themselves on that show. That’s why I think they set themselves up for failure because they are trying to live up to a Hollywood image and not a real image. On one segment, Rex really talked up John Connor, calling him the Terminator. If I’m an inside linebacker, the way they were building up John Connor, I would want to hit him first, so when they went into the coaches room the next day they would be asking "What happened?”
HL: You know that Ray Lewis couldn’t wait to hit him.
MS: I just got back from New York; everybody is the Jets, the Jets, the Jets. And everybody has watched that show and got their hopes up. Football looks really sexy when they slow it down and put a deep, dark voice behind it. The reality sitting at home is that they sure didn’t look that way when it was time to play. For the Jets, you can fall into a trap like that. Now, one of the attitude players for the Jets was Kris Jenkins and now he’s out and talking about retiring. He was one of their strengths. Losing Kris takes away a lot of their attitude. I’m not saying they still won’t be a good defense, but he was cocky, arrogant and a Rex Ryan kind of guy. They lost some of their invincibility now before the season has really gotten started.
Czar: Basically, everyone is saying they shouldn’t have done “Hard Knocks."
TB: There really is not that much difference between the really good teams in the NFL. And when you give the other teams a little more incentive — I mean nobody can stand the Jets because of all the stuff that Rex Ryan has said. I don’t think their players are quite like him, but I do believe every team is going to raise it up a little bit more when they play them. They have created a monster for themselves and they will have to deal with this week in and week out and I don’t think they can deal with it.
Curt Menefee: One of the problems is that when teams looked at the Jets on “Hard Knocks” they really didn’t look at them as a football team. The way they won last year was by running the ball and playing great defense. So, you take out of the equation Alan Faneca at left guard and Thomas Jones at running back. They miss the leadership of Jones in the locker room and what he did on the field.
TB: Remember, last year when they started to brag on Sanchez as a quarterback? Well, when they gave him a chance he went down to New Orleans and threw three interceptions. A couple weeks later he threw five against the Bills and they seem to be saying that he’s not quite ready Cowboys jersey
for prime time.
HL: The Faneca loss isn’t as big to that team as the Thomas Jones loss. Everything in that game was field position and who could make the big play. And Baltimore made more plays. And Baltimore simply has better personnel at quarterback, receivers and running back right now.
