Hey, Jets fans: To quote Jack Nicholson, "You can't handle the truth!"

Actually, that goes for you, too, Cowboys fandom. Sunday night's opener (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2011091112/2011/REG1/cowboys@jets#menu=gameinfo&tab=preview) will provide a blueprint for the season that followers of either franchise will find difficult to ignore.

Let's start with Gang Green.

OK, so Greene -- Shonn Greene (http://www.nfl.com/players/shonngreene/profile?id=GRE510029) -- is the man now. Everyone is expecting a lot more carries per game from him, including Jets nation, fantasy owners, and Mark Sanchez (http://www.nfl.com/players/marksanchez/profile?id=SAN091667). That's great, but Dallas' so-so secondary, which will be without Terence Newman (http://www.nfl.com/players/terencenewman/profile?id=NEW475575), will be far too inviting a target. You can bet offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Sanchez will be taking their shots down the field.
