WEEK 1
Brandon Jacobs: "I think we're going to go to Dallas this Sunday and whup their (butts)."
Result: We win by 10, and Jacobs finishes with 26 yards rushing and gets knocked out for 3-5 weeks with a knee injury.
WEEK 2
Joey Porter: "Barber thinks he's a tough guy sometimes. ... That's my type of fight, so I'm going to be looking for him."
Result: We win by 17, Barber rushes for two touchdowns, and Porter finishes with two tackles and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (for ripping off Barber's helmet), then complains that his knee hurts.
WEEK 3
Alex Brown: "I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but if you say (the Colts') Peyton Manning's a star and you say Romo's a star, I don't agree with you on that. ... Anybody can be rattled."
Result: We win by 17, Romo throws for 320 yards and two touchdowns before the end of the third quarter, and Brown finishes with one tackle (after a 15-yard gain).
