last time our heroes were in the nfc central... they escaped!!!
gonna start with THE worst team in the division...
CAROLINA PANTHERS- they drafted a 28 (now 29) year old qb... hmm, give the guy 2 years to become settled in to an offense and he will be 31, so that gives him 4 years of solid play, if he is lucky... GREAT DRAFT!!! buerlein split town to be a back up, that should say something... for now, jeff lewis is supposed to start... uh, WHO? i cant even comment on the guy but i can say that once they hit midseason weinke will be playing full time. at rb is touch down tim... still.. despite always getting banged up and then having sub par weeks in between huge games... they got murrell as a back up AND former steeler richard huntley (the guy who was SUPPOSED to replace bettis), he will get his share of carries though. wide receivers are decent, muhsin has always been regarded highly, except from us michigan fans (he went to state), patrick jeffers came on strong 2 years ago and got hurt last season... but they expect this to be the best part of the team, throw in wesley walls and you got a solid core...
defense is subpar, still... remember kevin green? well, i bet the panthers would be able to suit him up now and start him, despite his age and no doubt his arthritic knees... they have sean gilbert, the redskins ex overpaid flop, they have jason peter who has never panned out in the nfl... uh, linebackers are just as weak as the dline... they released their best backer, lee woodall... and theeir secondary has jimmy hitchcock (johnny o's favorite player) .... thats about it, they let eric davis AND eugene robinson fly the coupe... "youth movement"... hey, i wonder if they understand that in youth movements you dont draft a 29 year old qb...
panthers win 3 games, MAYBE 4.... they should be on the "nfl's worst team post".
HOTLANTA FALCONS- i'd like to move their...the question here is WHEN... WHEN will vick take over completely? chandler is still a quality qb when he has time, but he hasnt had time since 98'... plus, the guy gets knocked out at least once a year... vick will get his chances... supposedly (do not say supposably) reeves has vick packages for each game that he plans on using... he wants to keep the fans happy and let them see why they are paying ticket prices.. reeves did say that he wouldnt throw vick in their too early, he said he did that with elway and was not happy with that. man, falcons should keep reeves around in some way even after he is done coaching just so vick has the same mentor as elway did. anyway, they still have anderson who should be 100% again, its been nearly 2 years since the knee, their fullback can catch the ball (christenson) and block well... receivers are weakish though... shawn jefferson is a career number 2 guy (at best) and on the other side is terance mathis, who has seen better days... this defense is weak, no way around it... however, they do have a solid secondary led by ray buchanan... ashley ambrose is on the other side with bradford and carter as their safeties... linebackers still include jessie tuggle and keith brooking... the DL is sub par with just travis hall having decent talent...
big trouble, again... for reeves, but at least he has some talent in waiting with vick... vick is gonna get plays EVEN WITH chandler in the game... some funky shit goin on!!! 4 wins.
NINERS- offense is their specialty, as always... garcia is gonna have a HUGE year, so will the receivers.. why? cuz they have to... garner is gone and he was outstanding the last 2 years.. running back by committee here.. but garrison hearst should get some downs, who knows if he can come back to where he was 3 years ago (doubtful)... stokes better step up this year now that rice is gone michigan boy tai streets is gonna take his spot... regardless, stokes, owens, and streets will all be solid (numbers at least)...
guess what? on defense dana stubblefield is back... i guess he wanted to take a vacation and get paid major cash from the skins for it... could this mean stubblefield and bryant young will be a force again??? they still have junior bryant too... so the dl is solid in the middle but dont expect much of a pass rush from the ends. they have one solid lb, and that guy is HATED by me!!! (that rhymed).. the secondary is young, very young.. TOO YOUNG!! their best cover guy was mcquarters ( i bashed him in the other division review)... so if you lose a guy who i bash, and he was your best corner... uh, you better hope the corners get good fast working with owens and stokes...
niners win 8, easy schedule that includes the panthers, falcons, LIONS (bring back barry and i will pick you to win the super bowl), cowboys, and bears... look out for a BEATING on december 22nd...
mcnabb and the boys come to town!!!
FINALLY, the two teams worth watching in the division...
SAINTS AND RAMS... gonna mix the review/preview...
qb- i believe kurt warner hit the lottery 2 years ago, he showed himself last year with his choices... he threw 18 picks (19?) and 23 td's... his BACKUP had 18td and 4 picks!!! saints dont know who will start, but brooks scorched the other night, 10-10!!! though i still say he throws the ball too hard too often, if he finds some touch he will be the starter... the deep baller is blake, we all loved him in cinci throwing deep, it was quite a sight.. EDGE - rams, at least they KNOW who their guy is and it HAS to be him or they are done... at rb, faulk for the rams and williams for the saints... can you find better quality backs??? no way! faulk does it all for the rams, but the saints have depth with mcallister... and now that faulks back up is history for a while the rams are in trouble... i so wanted to see candidate play healthy.... but NOOOOOOO, not gonna happen. edge - saints.. YES, i said EDGE SAINTS!!! receivers- joe horne played great last year after the season got going...their number 2 guy is albert connell, who got the fuck out of washington as fast as he could... jake reed is history, back where he belongs (watching randy and chris)... rams have that awesome system where their wr's make big yards after catches... bruce and hakim and holt... nice trio!!! edge rams, in a big way!!!!!!!!
saints have the better OL in my opinion... they also have willie roaf, who's rights were traded on draft day by the lions for pat swilling... wayne fontes was NOT killed??? how come?
defense... this is a laugher... the aints earned the s in front of their names... they hit, they play, they bring it... the DL is solid as their is in the nfl... hand and glover in the middle is tough to run against, them is some big mofo's. joe johnson brings it from one end spot too... lb's are darrin smith, keith mitchell, and charlie clemons... solid... safeties are also solid, sammy night and jay bellamy... the spot i find to be somewahat weak is corner... i do not believe thomas, israel, and mathis are good corners.. if the aints dont get a pass rush these corners are in trouble...
as for the rams defense... well, name 4 players... their ya have it.. FUCKING AWFUL!!!!!!!! more points allowed than any other team last season... so they drafted new starters... basically, they think a college (not even) allstar team can help them in the NFL.. no way...
saints will win with all round play, rams with offense... tough race for the two teams... i'm lookin at both teams winning 9 or 10... gonna go with 10 wins for the saints and 9 for the rammies...
as for teams that scare me, the rams rank number 1... they CAN put up 50 points... the saints cant.. if both make the playoffs the rams would be my choice to go further just because the other teams in the nfc do NOT have that offensive power the rams have... and i believe the rams offense is better than the great defenses in philly, tampa and new orleans... the thing is, warner will make mistakes in the season and hopefully keep the rams out of the playoffs... but i doubt it.
