17. Washington Redskins-The Redskins will get it together this year. Honestly, they have a pretty good team and they will prove it this year, well more than last year. They need to decide on a starting QB whether it's Brunell or Campbell, they are both qualified for the job and will do great. There is also the RB situation. Clinton Portis is a good Running Back and has been Washington's guy for a while, but Betts may take over that spot running for over 1100 yards last year. The passing game will also be big with Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd, and Antwann Randle El who all could go over 1,000 yards passing.
18. St. Louis Rams-The Rams are another high-powered offense. Bulger threw for over 4,300 yards spreading the ball around. Only about half of his yards went to the top two receivers (Holt and Bruce). Stephen Jackson as a top RB rushing for over 1,500 yards last year with a great offensive line that opens huge wholes. The only reason they are so low in the rankings is due to the defense and secondary.
19. Pittsburg Steelers-The Steelers have seen their better days. It seems to have been all downhill from the Championship they won. Roethelisberger is good and will just have to show how good he is this year. He has Hines Ward as a go to guy who consistently gets 1,000+ yards every year, but his number two and three receiver left. Santonio Holmes is going to have a better season then last year, getting more balls thrown his way and becoming a 1,000+ receiver as well. Willie Parker is a fast, small man who can get a lot of yards.
20. Arizona Cardinals-The Cardinals have something brewing within the organization. With Kurt Warner and Matt Lienart at QB, good things are bound to happen. They have perhaps two of the best WR's in the game, Fitzgerald and Boldin. They also have Edgerrin James who is a force in the backfield along with J.J. Arrington who has yet to be seen in the NFL. He may be great when he starts playing but cannot be positive. Wilson and Griffith are two great safeties who will make plays and create turnovers. Along with them, Antrel Rolle has proved to be a great
21. New York Giants-Eli Manning is going to have to see the field much better next season to succeed. In the NFL, 24 TD's is good, but 18 INT's are not. He is going to have to change that. He still has his go-to-guy, Plaxico Burress who is an amazing receiver but he doesn't have many other guys who can catch. Tiki Barber has a huge loss to the Giants. Replacing him will be Brandon Jacobs in the starting slot.
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-They havn't made many improvements since last year, but they did make a big one. They acquired Jeff Garcia who proved he was good on the Eagles. Chris Simms will probably lose his starting position to Garcia. Cadillac Williams will have about the same season as last year getting up around 800 yards. At least there is some running game! The real offense is going to be through the air with Galloway and Clayton. Both are great receivers who run their routes and know what to do with the ball. Their defense hasn't changed much so I don't expect them to win a whole lot of games, but Garcia is going to be big for them.
23. Houston Texans-They may be onto something here. They picked up Schaub from Atlanta and Ahman Green. With Carr in Carolina, the ball will the thrown more and completed. The offense has huge improvements from last year.
24. Atlanta Falcons- The Falcons have lost it. Mike Vick has ruined them. The owner could have decided to fire wither the head coach, or trade Mike Vick, he picked the wrong move. The Falcons aren’t going anywhere. I haven't heard the latest on Vick's dog fighting crime but it looks awful for the Falcons and the NFL. Schaub is no where in sight anymore. Who comes to the rescue? Joey Harrington! Schaub was probably their worst loss, no one wants Harrington starting for them, unless of coarse they are from Detroit and are called the Lions.
25. Cleveland Browns-The Browns have made huge improvements during the offseason. Brady Quinn was a big pick in the draft. I think he will not be effective right out of the gate, but with experience and guidance, he'll come around mid to late season, that is, if he gets the experience which I'm sure he will. Frye isn't the greatest QB. Jamal Lewis will be starting at Halfback for the Browns running for 1132 yards last season. They also have great receivers with tons of potential (Braylon Edwards and Joe Jurevicus). The O-line will be great for Lewis with Joe Andruzzi and Cosey Coleman opening holes for him. Defense is also big for the Browns. Willie McGinest and Andra Davis at Linebacker will be unstoppable together. It doesn't stop there,
26. Buffalo Bills-The Bills have only been gong downhill the past few years. They have a lot of new players, nothing I would really call "new talent". J.P. Losman will be the starting QB who threw for the same TD's and interceptions. Lee Evans and Peerless Price will be receiving the ball from Losman who are both very good at what they do, all J.P. has to do is get the ball to them and good things will happen. Don't expect a huge running game from the Bills either, they have 5 new guys, four of which have not played last year and one who totaled 378 in yards (2nd string for the Bills this year).
27. San Francisco 49ers-Well, at least the 49ers don't have to reputation of being THE worst in the league, just a bad team. Darrell Jackson from the Seahawks was a big pickup for them giving Alex Smith at least one go-to guy for the season. Frank Gore is a big guy with a lot of speed. He rushed for 5 yards shy of 1,700 yards last season. Their right Cornerback, Walt Harris, is also a key player in their defense. He had 8 int's last year and will be a force the 49ers will use at will.
28. Kansas City Chiefs-What do you want me to say? They went from playoff contenders to one of the worst teams in the NFL. Croyle will be starting at Quarterback this season with only two games from last season under his belt. He is going to work exceedingly hard and have a great season for the Chiefs to even have a chance at being .500. Larry Johnson will continue to rush for a lot of yards. The receivers are fairly good with Kennison, Gonzalez, and Parker, but they are going to need Croyle to come through. Damon Huard will be their backup QB with 11 TD's and 1 INT in 10 games last year.
29. Green Bay Packers-Favre needs to retire! He is doing nothing to help the Packers out. He has been steadily decreasing with every year. Last year he had 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions with a 56% completion rate. Joey Harrington has a better completion percentage with 62.5! Donald Driver is getting all the passes as he is a dominant receiver, but the defenses have figured that out. Their number two receiver, Jennings, caught for less then half the yards then Driver. The running game is completely gone for the Packers, neither their HB's nor FB's have very, very little experience, if any. I hate to say it, but I think their defense may actually be better then their offense. Woodson had 8 interceptions last year and knows how to play the game at corner. Kampman also had 15.5 sacks last year which is almost a sack per game.
30. Detroit Lions-They made a few improvements, but not many. They went from Harrington to Kitna at the QB position. Guess they aren't winning 10 games anymore! It's not like they would have with Harrington, but I guess now he has an excuse? Anyway, the WR core has improved a lot which included Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson (Rookie), and Mike Furrey. They have also acquired Tatum Bell from the Broncos.
31.? Minnesota Vikings-The Vikings went 6-10 last year with many players who they lost. Well they got replacements that happened to be even worse. A guy named Tarvaris Jackson will be starting for Quarterback this season. His only decent receiver will be Troy Williamson who didn't even gain 500 yards last year. Darren Sharper and Antoine Winfield are going to have to carry the defense since they will be getting no help from anyone. Honestly, this could be the worst season ever for the Vikings.
32. Oakland Raiders-The Raiders have been awful since winning the Super Bowl a little while back. Josh McCown will start the 2007-08 season as the Raiders Quarterback. He won't really have anyone to throw to unless Ronald Curry and Mike Williams have great seasons but don't count on it. LaMont Jordan is still in Oakland. In 9 games he ran for 434 yards. He may soon be replaced by Domenic Rhodes. Rhodes showed his stuff on the Colts but the thing was, the Asomugha had 8 interceptions last year and is going to need to carry the secondary as no one else looks like they can contribute a whole lot. Let’s not forget the line though. Warren Sapp (10 Sacks), and Derrek Burgess (11 Sacks) will carry the defense in hopes of keeping the Raiders out of last place.
18. St. Louis Rams-The Rams are another high-powered offense. Bulger threw for over 4,300 yards spreading the ball around. Only about half of his yards went to the top two receivers (Holt and Bruce). Stephen Jackson as a top RB rushing for over 1,500 yards last year with a great offensive line that opens huge wholes.
