Dallas Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassel will be the starter following the bye week. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says Cassel was awarded the job from Brandon Weeden because of his aggression and experience. "I think he's also got experience in basically just stepping up in the pocket and making some plays," Jones said. "Now, he will, with that experience though, do something that Weeden was not doing. Weeden was so conservative, he was coached to be conservative to a degree, but he was not taking chances with that ball. Now, we know you can't make plays if you don't take some chances.
