BATTLE OF THE WEEK: The battle for the backup QB spot will be interesting. Luke McCown got the start Saturday against the Dolphins and simply didn't make enough plays, missing WR Michael Clayton in the end zone. His had decent numbers, but Brian Griese's were much better - 10-of-14 for 59 yards and a touchdown. If starter Jeff Garcia goes down early in the season, Griese could be the choice. But if it's a long term deal, they might go to McCown.

OTHER BATTLEFRONTS: The left defensive end spot is interesting. Jimmy Wilkerson, a free agent from the 49ers, threw his hat into the ring Saturday with a sack and two tackles. Currently, Kevin Carter is battling Greg White.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: RB Michael Bennett. The seldom-used back was a workhorse against the Dolphins, accounting for 90 yards from scrimmage rushing and receiving and a touchdown.

ROOKIE REPORT: C Jeremy Zuttah continues to draw praise from coach Jon Gruden for playing both center and guard positions.
