Player To Watch

Arizona's offensive line needs help, and 6'5", 303-pound James Dexter is ready to offer it—at guard, tackle, you name it.

"I'll be disappointed if he doesn't make a push at one of four positions," says line coach Carl Mauck. Dexter, a 1996 fifth-rounder, has impressed in practice, just as he did last year before a broken hand in September and a knee injury in his first start, against Dallas, put a damper on his season. "I got experience at guard in the Dallas game," he says. "I'll play wherever they want me to."
