Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Hey everyone. Glad to be with you. Let's get it on.



Joey, Brooklyn, NY

04:07 PM ET


Hey Jamie. Is Jay Cutler doomed with his "weapons" in Chicago? His best receivers aren't even receivers ... and I'm talking about Greg Olsen and Matt Forte. What type of offense do you see this season?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Joey,

"Doomed" may be strong but there is need for concern. I think the Bears need to add a vet WR who has produced in this league. Matt Jones and Marvin Harrison are out there. Talk is that Matt runs ugly routes but he did catch 60 or 70 balls.



Rob, St. Paul, Minn.

04:10 PM ET


Jamie, this has to be it for Plax, right?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think so...



Nick , Wash DC

04:11 PM ET


Whats up JD, I need to know if Michael Turner is the real deal or has he just gotten over on easy defenses?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Turner is the real deal. The question is can he carry the ball 350 plus times a year.



Zach, Saskatoon SK. Canada

04:13 PM ET


hey Jamie. I was just wondering why everyone thinks the seahawks wont be a good team this season? they had alot of injuries last season wich led to a bad one. But they had a great offseason and realy impressed me in their first preseason game @ san diego. could you fill me in because i dont get it. they have inproved not gotten worse. thanks man. GO HAWKS!!!!! (best fans in the league!)


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I like Seattle this year. Jim Mora is going to toughen them up. But injuries continue to loom large. Matt has to stay healthy and they need Walter Jones back in the saddle.



azeemmalik Ruff, buffalo,NY

04:15 PM ET


Jamie do you think Trent edwards can deal with the no huddle??


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think Trent is going to be good. I worry about the O-line and their ability to protect him.



Cliff, Miami

04:16 PM ET


Well Patrick Willis be in the conversation of greatest MLB's ever when his career is over?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Patrick is a class kid and he is on his way to being a HOFer. The greatest, i'm not sure about.



Zack, Canada

04:16 PM ET


Do you think Ryan Clady has the potential to be the best LT in the business?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Based on how he's playing, he is among the best now. I was very impressed with him. You tell me how many guys are better. He had a better year than Joe Thomas and Jake Long.



mike bates, arizona

04:18 PM ET


Love you on NFL network. Are the niners a contender this year? how much of an impact will crabtree really have on this season? Thank you


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I don't think the Niners will be a contender for the SB but they will make positive strides.



Danny B, Twin Cities, MN

04:19 PM ET


Jamie! I'm coming from you from the Twin Cities. I believe that T Jack still has some good football that he can play. I love the Favre thing, but am concerned it may leave Jackson as the odd man out. Do you think there's a chance he may get cut?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




You never know what will happen but i think the Vikes should keep T-Jack. He has made positive strides every year. Sitting behind Brett he should learn alot.



Brad, Ontario

04:21 PM ET


Hi Jamie, Any chance the Bronco's trade their best WR to the same spot they traded their best (only) QB?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Bears don't have anything left to trade but coaches. Is there any coaches you want off the bear's staff??



Greg, Montana

04:22 PM ET


Do you think Matt Cassel will end up being one of the worst decisions in Chiefs history?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think we will have to wait and see. Matt's in a tough place because he doesn't have the structure of B-chek, not to mention Moss and Welker.



Darrel, New York

04:23 PM ET


Who will win in a fight Tom Cable or Mike Singeltary?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




That's a good one. I'll get back to you on that.



Mark, Springfield, VA

04:23 PM ET


Who are you more excited to see this week? Michael Vick or Brett Favre, with thier new teams?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




BOTH!



dj, mn

04:24 PM ET


So what is your opinion of Favre's latest unretirement? Should the Vikings have taken him after he missed training camp?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I wish for Brett's sake he signed last week. I think they made the right move. Check out my latest blog at Put Up Your Dukes on Favre and how he creates matchup problems for defenses.



Matthew McGnarly, Delaware

04:25 PM ET


Do you think that Mike Vick will ever be accepted and forgiven in Philadelphia? Also how come I always have to get on NFL.com for you to answer my questions, you always ignore my twitter messages.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




As long as you get an answer! LOL ... As soon as Vick scores his first TD or breaks off his first big run, the naysayers will get on the bandwagon.



Dave, MD

04:26 PM ET


Who do you think will be the best choice at quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. DA or BQ


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think at this point you have to give Brady Quinn a shot to see what he's got.



Rob, New Jersey

04:27 PM ET


Do you think Tony Romo is going to be able to take it to a another level this year?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think Romo is a very good young qb in this league. He has to get that December/January jitters thing worked out.



Erik, Chicago, IL

04:28 PM ET


What up Dukes! I was wonder how you think the Packers 3-4, heavy blitz defense will hold up against the Vikings huge and physical O-line? Will Minnesota expoit this defense, especially with the addition of Harvin?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think the Vikes are going to be a force to be reckoned with and it's going to put many teams in a bind. I discussed that topic a little bit in my most recent blog post.



Jeremy, Indiana

04:30 PM ET


Were you serious about Tom Brady being the number 5 tough guy in the league? You know that totally exposed your Man Crush for him.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I hope you and others got the spirit of what i was trying to say. There are 30 guys i could have put on that list like Dawkins or Delihoooo (LT for Giants)



Jason, Elkton, MD

04:32 PM ET


Jamie, how do you think the Brandon Marshall fiasco will turn out in Denver?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




It doesn't look good.



Jeremy Alanis, Vancouver, WA

04:32 PM ET


If not Patrick Willis. then who is the greates Lb of all time?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




LT



Brian, Des Moines, IOWA

04:32 PM ET


Hey jamie, make or break year for Maroney?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Yes



Jason, KS

04:33 PM ET


Hey I heard on NFL Network that including their preseason game, the Browns havent had an offensive TD in over 70 straight posessions?!? Say it ain't so.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




That's the Stat of the Day.



Mechelle, Killeen Texas

04:33 PM ET


Payton Manning got sacked 3 times in the first pregame. Is this a concern?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




BIG CONCERN!



Bill, Denver Metro, Colorado

04:34 PM ET


Tell me straight Jaimie... If Campbell plays well, do the Skins have a chance this year?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Heck yea. They already have a top flight D. They just need to O to do it's part. TOUGHEST DIVISION IN THE NFL.



Solomo W., Toroto, Canada

04:35 PM ET


who would you rather have on your team, ed reed or tory polamalu


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Ed only because he seems to get more turnovers. Glad i don't have to choose.



Steve M, Moose, NY

04:35 PM ET


How are we Jamie? Is Rex Ryan the most inspirational caoch in the NFL or what?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Rex is a hell of a guy. I just hope the media doesn't turn on him if they Jets his a dry spot. We all like being fired up about our team and the Jets have reasons to be excited but that doesn't mean the Jets are ready to be SB contenders.



Justin, Edmonton, Canada

04:37 PM ET


Hey Jamie, Quick Question: with all the turmoil surrounding Mr. Cable and his fists....I was wondering have you ever wanted to show Eisen your dukes?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




HA...Not a chance. I enjoy working with Rich. He and Fran Charles do a great job of engaging all our personalities.



Rob, New Jersey

04:38 PM ET


Everybody is sleeping on the Cowboys this year are you?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think they win 8 to 10 games. Past that, i don't know.



steve jackman, canada

04:39 PM ET


i know you put singletary in the "love it" category.. for coaches.. why do you think they passed on Vick.??. they need a qb, and they have a strong coach that could easily help vick with the "off the field" issues.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




MY OPINNION is the organization did not want to touch him. I do know Singletary and other coaches had an interest but signing Vick as you know was a big decision.



Colin, California

04:40 PM ET


Hey Jamie We see so many linebackers decline in production as they get older (Urlacher,Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor.) How is it that Ray can still put up such big numbers and dominate opponent's offenses.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Other than being a great player, Haloti Ngata is the reason. Ray needs a power pig to cover him up so he can do his thing. If the Bears got a power pig for Urlacher, we would not be hearing the whispers. Brian is a hell of a player but he needs to be covered up.



Jeremy, Indiana

04:42 PM ET


Who is your surprise team this year (the team to turn heads this year)?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




RAIDERS! Now i'm not saying they are going to make the playoffs but i think they are going to win maybe as many as 8 games.



Raymar, Colorado Springs

04:43 PM ET


Hey Jamie, how good do you think the Cardinals are? It seems everyone is down on them and takes their playoff run as a lucky streak


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Thats the SB loser jinx crowd. I think they will compete again for the division title.



Justin, Edmonton, Canada

04:44 PM ET


Hey Jamie, I agree with you on Randy Moss as the #1 reciever in the league. Not even Jerry Rice Demanded a Corner and Saftey directly over one another. How come he doesn't get the respect?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Well for the record, i think Jerry Rice is the greatest football player ever to play any position. As for Moss, he has bagage and we are not in a forgiving society these days. Don't know when it changed but it has.



Oran, Delaware

04:45 PM ET


Who's someone we don't know, but will in 2010?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Percy Harvin



Mario , New Mexico

04:46 PM ET


When do you think Michael Crabtree will sign with the 49ers?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I think it's going to be a while.



Hit Man, Atlanta

04:46 PM ET


Do you think the falcons have a chance at back to back seasons???


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




The Falcons have a great chance but they have to stay healthy.



Joe, Toronto

04:47 PM ET


Is Felix Jones the real deal???


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




i'm a huge Felix the Cat fan.



ultimate viking, mpls mn

04:47 PM ET


you think the vikes can win it all now with favre keep it real


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Yes they can but like all teams, they have to get hot.



Pkr Bkr, Santa Paula

04:48 PM ET


Jamie, why are we seeing so many gangister/criminal types in the NFL? Or has it always been this way? Thanks


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I don't think there is any difference from years past. We now have the internet and blogs that blow things out of proportion.



Kevin, Charlotte, NC

04:49 PM ET


Is Antonio Bryant of the Buccaneers the real deal?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




I don't know. I don't have a great feel for him yet.



Brian, Delray Beach, FL

04:50 PM ET


What do you think of Romo become the leader that the cowboys need him to be to get over the playoff hump?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Leadership has nothing to do with Romo's problems. THAT LEADERSHIP THING IS A BUNCH OF BS. Romo just has to get his December/January act together.



Kory, Sweet valley pa

04:51 PM ET


Jamie do u think the eagles are the team to beat in the NFC


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Yes.



Jay, Denver

04:52 PM ET


Can Denver go 0-16 this year? Really the only team I can see them beating is K.C.


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




There's no way the Broncos go 0-16



Nicky White, Mexico

04:53 PM ET


i love you jamie!


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network

T, upstate NY

04:53 PM ET


Whats going on with Aaron Maybin?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




Show me the money.



Neil Werner, Houston, TX

04:53 PM ET


Do you think that Tom Brady will eventually go down as the Greatest QB to ever play the game?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




If he wins 2 more SB's he will make an argument to pass Montana, Bradshaw and Elway.



Kyle, Indy

04:55 PM ET


Do you think the NFL will go on a lockdown in a few years?


jdukes_small.jpg

Jamie Dukes, NFL Network




No



Graham, Toronto

I guess Romo's jitters made Crayton stop short on that route against the Giants. I should have known.

Bradshaw won 4 Lombardi's but he is not considered the greatest QB ever. I don't know why Brady should IF he wins 2 more titles.


Brady owes more to his team and system than Montana, or Elway.

Jamie Dukes comments about Romo overcoming his December/January swoon is spot on... He's got to step it up when it counts the most.

If the OL and D break down (yet again) and Tony's running for his life, he'll "struggle" and the media will say he choked again.

If the OL and D hold up their end of the bargain, Tony will be just fine.

Really, it's that simple.

According to JJT leadership is essential. According to Jamie Dukes it's a bunch of BS.

Jamie played. Although he isn't a hall of famer by any stretch, he was still closer to the idea than any journalist and I would tend to believe him.

leadership probably means nothing. i don't see how grown men that want to win would need it. at all.

8 wins. Seriously. 8 wins. I just don't get it, unless he is predicting a couple major injuries or something.

I agree. Our OL has really let Tony down the last couple of years yet you never seem to hear that the OL needs to step it up in December and January.

Must be very frustrating for Tony to hear all this criticism.

Without those "jitters" you could care less today about that Crayton kid and his route running against the Giants.

Have you seen his carrer? He had 1 winning season with Atl (1986-93) 1991, 9-7 with the Pack and closed with a 4-12 with the Cards... And 2 wild-card play-off wins.
It's not like he's very acquainted with winning.

And drop that pass, and have all those bogus intentional grounding calls , and have his oline fall apart and have Davis get that unneccesary roughness call.

Daggone those jitters!!

Is he kidding? I think this society is much more forgiving than ever before--if someone says he's sorry, we're ready give him millions of dollars....

Out of curiosity, what sort of route was Crayton running that you think he stopped short on?
