Mike Jenkins was named the starting right cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. Earlier in the week, Jenkins posted on his blog that the job was his. Well, sort-of ... meaning Jenkins believes the job is his.

However, the Cowboys haven't officially designated Jenkins the starting right cornerback.

In a follow-up post on his blog, Jenkins says his statement was due more to confidence, according to Todd Davis of the Dallas Morning News. Jenkins writes:

I’m coming into camp with a chip on my shoulder and I think the job will be mine because of the confidence I have in myself and not because of anything else! Everyone is trying to make this a big issue when this is just a needle in a haystack. The big picture is to win our games no matter who the starter is and make the playoffs.

Jenkins, who was drafted in the first-round in 2008 by the Cowboys, is competing with Orlando Scandrick, who was drafted in the fifth round in 2008, for the starting cornerback vacancy created by Anthony Henry's departure.
