From all indications, rookie Jacob Bender will start at left guard, ahead of Adrien Clarke. It's going to be an eye-opening experience for Bender, who played before home crowds of about 3,500 at Nicholls State, a Division I-AA school. "It's going to be awesome to just be out there," he said. "I'm excited. I'm pumped up." Bender may not be the only rookie starter in the Jets' lineup. Don't be surprised if No. 1 pick Darrelle Revis starts at left cornerback. Incumbent Andre Dyson (foot) practiced on a limited basis.
