NE had released much of its veteran leadership prior to the season Colts & Bengals rested starters at the end of the year. In the playoffs they grabbed a lot of respect by demolishing & it caught up to them during the year & with fi nality vs BAL. NE was surgical in how it approached FA & the Bengals & upset SD on the road before the Colts beat them in the AFC Championships. Rex Ryan's Jets did the right thing in resigning to lead the defense. They added a savvy route runner in Holt to were very active in the offseason releasing/trading 35.9% of the offense in RB's Jones & Washington. They feel supplement the offense with Welker expected to be out the 1st 6 wks & got a good blocking TE with Crumpler. comfortable enough in Sanchez to expand the passing game despite having the #1 rushing offense LY for a NE supplemented the TE spot in the draft by taking a balanced blocking/receiving TE in Gronkowski & a QB that had a 12-20 TD/Int ratio. The Jets have two #1 type WR's after trading a 5th RD DC to PIT for Holmes dangerous receiving TE with Hernandez who will get a lot of attention from Brady to get him into the passing to pair with . Tomlinson was brought in as he knows OC Schottenheimer's system. While L.T. system as fast as possible. Belichick hasn't had a good deal of success developing WR's in the draft & Price has fallen off dramatically in the run, he is still valuable with the pass & is a good blocker for a 3rd down back. is a decent sized WR who could struggle to get off the jam in press coverage. Recently NE has had a bit of a The Jets tallied 1 sack every 15.7 pass att's LY & by signing Jason Taylor to be a 3rd down pass rush specialist problem defending bigger WR's who could absorb hits & make yards after the catch. NE traded down twice, they were able to take the best player available on the board when they picked. While very versatile & able to play man coverage with lots of special team value, Kyle Wilson fell due to the fact that he played in the WAC. targeting McCourty who they feel is a well balanced CB with sure tackling skills & good fi lm ethic. Belichick NFL scouts weren't sold on the level of competition that he faced but he fi ts very well with the Jets system & will prefers bigger OLB's with straight ahead speed that can also supplement the run & adding a pass rusher was be the nickel DB as he develops. Despite a very impressive year by the OL, the Jets surprised several people a priority after Banta-Cain who is a system player led the team with 10 sacks. NE scored a coup with Spikes by releasing Faneca due to declining skills. Ducasse who comes from UMass will compete with 2009 6th RD whose stock plummeted due to a 5.06 40 time at the Combine but he plays much faster on fi lm. His speed DC Matt Slauson for the LG spot. The Jets feel the short term dropoff is offset by the upside of Ducasse in issues can be masked in a 3-4 system & NE has a solid nickel ILB with Jerod Mayo. Spikes will make his way the long term. By drafting McKnight, the Jets are providing insurance in the event that Tomlinson's production onto the fi eld on run stopping downs & is a boon to a defense that allowed 8 games of 110+ yds rushing (147 continues to slide as well as special teams value. McKnight has a skill set similar to Leon Washington who the ypg 4.82). Mesko was the best in the draft & the left footed Ray Guy winner shouldn't have much of a Jets sent to SEA due to issues over a new contract. The Jets are one of the few teams that utilize a blocking problem winning the job. The Patriots have a legit division rivalry with the Jets now & MIA traditionally gives FB & Conner is the eventual successor to Tony Richardson. The Jets have a tough schedule to start the season Brady a tough game. They do get CIN, BAL, MIN, IND & GB at home with SD & PIT on the road. NE remains vs BAL, NE, MIA & MIN in the 1st 5 wks. They do get GB, HOU & CIN at home in the 2nd half of the year. The the favorite to win the AFC East thanks to Brady, but it won't be as easy as it has been.

Combined with inj's Despite closing out '08 with a 2-8 record the Bills opted to retain Dick Jauron. The Bills focused the entire to Pennington, RB Brown, the interior of the OL & age catching up to OLB's Porter & Taylor, MIA found themselves offseason on a "sugar huddle" style offense only to see the 1st string offense earn 1 FG in 15 preseason fortunate to be 7-9. The 2010 offseason was all about fi nding a proven WR target & upgrading the drives. Jauron fi red his OC & junked the entire offensive playbook 3 days before the start of the season. BUF youth & speed on the defense. MIA sent a pair of 2nd RD DC's to DEN for Brandon Marshall, getting a 26 yr old would go 3-5 to start the year being held to 10 pts or less in 4 gms. Owner Ralph Wilson released Jauron & WR with 3 straight seasons of 100+ rec's in return. With Marshall on board, the Dolphins will be able to open up cleared out the entire coaching staff incl much heralded STC Bobby April. Wilson didn't reignite the fan base the Wildcat even more as they have a legit downfi eld option to take the extra safety out of the box. MIA then used by hiring GM Buddy Nix & HC after higher profi le candidates turned the job down. Gailey has the draft to address the defense with just 1 offensive player taken, the lowest ever in a draft. With admitted the tm is going to be very run heavy & will incorporate Wildcat elements into the scheme for '10 NT Jason Ferguson susp the 1st 8 games MIA passed on Dan Williams, trading down & garnering a 2nd RD while he decides what to do with his QB's. BUF is also transitioning to the 3-4 defense which will be diffi cult DC then taking Odrick. Odrick improves 2 spots as he is a disruptive upfi eld DE for a 3-4 & bumps Randy Starks as aside from LY's 1st RD DC Aaron Maybin none of the smaller spd oriented Cover-2 defenders from LY are to NT for a quicker DL. MIA really focused on upgrading its LB corps & will have 3 new faces in their 4 man unit true 3-4 types. Nix is following the blueprint from when he was with SD in 2001 when they took Tomlinson as for '10 opening day. Misi is a former college DE making the shift to OLB & Sparano was pleased with how he Spiller will work with Fred Jackson to be the focal point of the offense. Spiller had 21 of his 51 college TD's go looked in the 1st mini-camp. He enters camp as a pass rushing OLB & how much his coverage skills improve will for 50 yds or more & he is the fastest BUF RB (4.32) since OJ Simpson. Spiller is a direct answer to the fact determine his 1st string snaps. Edds is an ILB for passing situations who impressed with 5 int LY at Iowa. Carroll that they have ranked in the bottom 8 in yards in the NFL for 7 straight years. Easley is a big possession type is expected to eventually challenge for a nickel DB spot but is likely a special teamer. Georgia's Reshad Jones is WR who will have to battle to be the #4 WR TY. Wang is a project LT who will be the swing OT for 2010 & his a big hitter who had 5 Int as a FS in '08 before converting to SS in '09 & Sparano admitted he is in competition development will determine his snaps. BUF claims they had a 3rd RD grade on QB Brown but he is another for the starting FS job. The only offensive pick in the draft Jerry, has a very good chance to take the LG job as developmental project likely as a bkp. BUF feels they got a good value with Troup in the 2nd RD & he will be Justin Smiley was traded to JAX. Jerry will compete with the more exp'd Cory Procter from DAL. MIA also made an instant starter as their 3-4 NT & while he won't make a lot of plays upfi eld he is very strong (34 reps of 225 a very good signing in Dansby for their big FA pickup which should improve LY's #18 rush defense & provide bench). Carrington had 19.5 sks the L2Y but comes from the Sun Belt & will have to take a big step up here. an interior pass rush. MIA has a very tough sked early on with 6 straight playoff tms & PIT with Roethlisberger BUF has a tough travel schedule TY at GB, CIN, BAL, CHI in Toronto & MIN. Gailey also gets a rematch vs his possibly back at the helm after they face BUF in Wk 1. The Dolphins could have quite a few new pieces for 2010 former team the Chiefs but has 3 straight AFC East games to close the year. The Bills still have issues on the to go along with 2nd yr CB's here & they will be a better team in the 2nd half of the season.

The CIN OL was one of the MIP units in the NFL despite LY's 1st RD DC Andre Smith only playing 6 games. they switched from being pass heavy to run 1st from mid-Nov on. GM made a great move Smith is slated to be the #1 RT now & Marvin Lewis made upgrading the assets for Palmer a priority. Palmer tore by bringing in Boldin in FA to give Flacco a real #1 WR in the passing game as Mason is really a solid #2. thumb ligaments in his throwing hand midssn & comb with the loss of WR Henry the Bengals simply didn't have BAL once again worked the draft to their advantage as they traded out of the 1st RD with DEN & replenished any passing weapons outside of Ochocinco vs the Jets. Gresham is the 1st bona fi de receiving TE weapon Palmer the defense. Kindle who is a good fi t as a 3-4 OLB pass rusher slid into the 2nd RD due to concerns he may has had in his 7 years & is a huge upgrade. While he missed all of 2009 at Oklahoma with a knee injury it was a need microfracture surgery. BAL has the depth to redshirt him but Kindle will likely be a situational pass grade 2 sprain & he is 100% now. Taking Shipley despite his special teams value though is a sign that 2008's 2nd rusher if he plays TY. Cody has issues with his weight & will be a 2 down run stuffi ng NT on the BAL line & 3rd RD WR's Simpson & Caldwell aren't stepping up. Dunlap is a good value pick much like DE that will only help Ngata here. Dickson & Pitta were both drafted to get Flacco more options in the passing was in the 3rd RD LY as he has 1st RD talent (45.5 plays behind LOS in 3Y) but his work ethic saw his stock slip. game & if Dickson picks up the playbook he could push Heap off the roster. BAL did lose some DL depth Ghee will compete for the nickel CB spot while Atkins will have to fi ght to get into the DT rotation. CIN does have with Bannan & Edwards leaving in FA & they did little to address their secondary. BAL opens with the Jets a big need at FS/SS due to a lack of depth & it's their big defensive weakness. Despite LY's success CIN didn't & has to travel to NE, ATL, HOU but get NO at home in mid-Dec. BAL looks to be a serious contender for give Marvin Lewis a contract extension as he is asking for more control & he may move on after 2010. a deep playoff push in 2010 but their talent at CB still remains a concern.

Only 3 of JAX's 14 sks were earned on 3rd down LY. So they brought in Kampman who despite playing OLB matured during his benching & won 8 of their L/10. Fisher was an early fav for the USC job but he turned it in a 3-4 & tearing an ACL LY had 3.5 sk. JAX pulled the 1st surprise of the draft by tabbing Alualu 10th overall to down & the Titans are focusing on youth for D. Morgan is a balanced DE who is viewed as being very polished replace the released John Henderson. MIA was also interested in Alualu & the Jags opted for a high character but he may turn out to be better vs the run than the pass. Curran comes in as a bkp SLB for now. Upgrading the player who can add bulk up as he learns the system. JAX traded its 2nd RD DC to NE LY for Derek Cox who secondary depth was a priority for TEN as Verner will compete for a nickel DB spot while Johnson & Rolle are did a solid job LY (72 tkl, 4 int). LA Tech's Smith is a nice option as a #3 DT in rotation in pass situations. Hart is both developmental prospects for '11 when contracts expire. Offensively, TEN hasn't done much for '10 & WIlliams an athletic spd rusher who needs to add another move to survive. Murray St's Lane is an athletic project player who needs to add weight (6-5 275) to avoid being just a situational pass rusher. JAX's return units have been looks to be a possession WR, but keep in mind USC WR's don't have a good track record in the NFL.

TEN travels to DAL, SD, MIA & closes the season out at season starts. Look for them to address the "average" QB spot in '11 after missing out on Tebow. They do have KC & IND.

DEN went 2-8 the rest of the year as the NFL caught up to a predictable CBA as they were able to retain key players (WR's Jackson & Floyd, LT McNeill, LB Merriman) at a low offense based on short & medium passes which defenses sat on.

LY they went thru 3 different QB's & showed enough when JaMarcus Russell Haley relieved Chan Gailey of his OC duties at the end of preseason & opted to be the HC/OC/WR coach.

KC continues to evolve into Patriots-West as they hired Charlie Weis to showed enough to stay in 2010, combined with the fact that no one else wanted the job. OAK was gashed for 150+ be the OC & Romeo Crennel to be the DC. Both are much better suited as upper tier NFL asst coaches than yds rushing 8 times in '09 (213 ypg, 5.2 in those 8 gms) incl 316 yds (5.9) vs the Jets & the tm made the defense a HC's & have worked with Haley prior. With the NFL now being a passing league, elite coverage safeties are in priority in the draft. The Raiders upset a lot of draft boards by taking the best ILB in McClain who is a highly intelligent high demand, so KC tabbed Berry. He is certifi ed by highly respected DC Monte Kiffi n as being NFL ready & big hitter with solid instincts. McClain has a similar skill set to & would be a better fi t in a 3-4 but is is the early favorite for Defensive ROY. KC saw 1st hand how a () could win a gm the starting MLB here. OAK is shifting out of its man coverage/low blitz % defense into a more aggressive system so they drafted Arenas (7 career PR's for TD's) & he'll be expected to line up vs slot WR's as well. McCluster is that will use some 3-4 looks & opted for a bigger but versatile prospect with Houston. Houston can play DE/DT & an interesting DC as Haley is going to line him up at RB/HB/WR/KR to take advantage of his versatility much Cable has him starting at DE for now to slow the outside perimeter runs. Veldheer is a good small school prospect like but at 5-8 170 his durability could be a issue. Asamoah is the highest drafted OL by KC since who is a bit raw & like Campbell would be ideally suited to redshirting in 2010. Campbell wowed scouts with an 1993 (1st RD DC Will Shields) & is a high character player that GM Scott Pioli favors. He can play all 3 interior outstanding Combine workout (4.85 spd, 34 reps 225 bench) giving him 1st RD athleticism but the tape had him OL spots & is likely to be a starter in 2011.

The Jim Zorn era began well with a 6-2 start in '08 but since then WAS has gone 6-18 as Zorn lost the They were done in however by an OL which was tabbed as top 5 prior to the yr, the decline of RB backing of the ownership, front offi ce & players. Dan Snyder made arguably the most impressive pickup (3.7 ypc) & the ttl collapse of a defense that didn't believe in new DC . The Giants gave up 427 pts in the offseason by hiring Mike Shanahan as HC. Shanahan also made 2 good hires as he brought in Jim which was the 2nd worst in franchise history (501 pts in 1966) & allowed 40 pts or more in B2B games for the 1st Haslett who was in the UFL LY to be his DC. While Haslett is shifting the team to a 3-4 system he is going to time since 1971 (5 times overall). The Giants aggressively pursued FS Rolle as they wanted a smart, headhunting run a lot of 4-3 to ease the transition. Shanahan's son Kyle came over from HOU (#4 offense LY) to run his player who has good range and is a willing enforcer vs the run. They added SS Deon Grant as insurance for Kenny offense. WAS hasn't had a QB start all 16 games for them since Brad Johnson led them to a 10-6 record in Phillips who had microfracture surgery on an arthritic knee with his loss capsizing the Giants' secondary LY. Chad Jones was drafted to be an eventual replacement at SS should Phillips' knee continue to deteriorate. The Giants 1999. They sent a pair of DC's to PHI for McNabb who gives the offense instant credibility & sorely needed opted to reinforce an already deep DL in the draft as GM Jerry Reese felt it would boost the play of all 3 LB's rather leadership. Instead of overspending on 1 overrated player like previous GM's, Bruce Allen smartly opted to than reaching for a MLB with Rolando McClain off the board. By drafting the very athletic Pierre-Paul though they got improve the overall depth via FA to make up for a lack of DC's. Trent Williams is the 1st OL drafted in the 1st 2 a player who had just 6.5 sacks in 7 starts at a FBS college after 2 yrs at different JUCO's. Pierre-Paul has the luxury RD's by WAS since 2000. Williams' athleticism is comparable to elite LT Ryan Clady who Shanahan drafted in of developing as a pass rush specialist in the short term but the tm could have gone with for an OL that 2008 but he only has 1 year of experience as a LT after 3 at RT. He & former Saint Jammal Brown are instant needs depth. Joseph will battle for the #4 DT spot on a very deep unit & makes expendable. Dillard upgrades to an OL that allowed 1 sack every 11.6 pass att's. Riley is a former WLB from a 4-3 who is being has extensive exp as a nickel & dime LB for Nebraska & the Giants are going to see if he can be a developmental shifted to ILB here. He is insurance if London Fletcher struggles in the 3-4 transition or if Rocky McIntosh prospect for Antonio Pierce who was released due to neck issues. The Giants travel to IND, SEA & close out the departs after the season. Morris is a receiving TE out of LA Tech who will get time as a receiving FB. Austin season with 3 road gms in 4 wks vs MIN (10th time in 12 yrs), GB & WAS. They still have issues at RB as Jacobs has a chance to make an impact as a KR/PR for a team that fi nished 30th on PR's & 24th on KR's LY. WAS (knee), Bradshaw (both feet/ankle) & FB Hedgecock (shoulder) are all rehabbing from offseason surgery which will gets HOU, GB, IND & MIN at home TY & the farthest west they travel is to DAL in Dec. WAS will be a much put more pressure on & his maturing WR's who must replace (ACL). more competitive team in 2010 but the defensive shift is likely to slow them down. 6 # in ( ) after player = starts - NFC NORTH - (12-4) GRADE: B (11-5) GRADE: B RANKINGS 2009 2008 2010 DRAFT ADDITIONS DELETIONS RANKINGS 2009 2008 2010 DRAFT ADDITIONS DELETIONS TOT OFF 5 17 RD-# POS PLAYER DT Mike Montgomery - GB (0) RB Chester Taylor (0) TOT OFF 6 8 RD-# POS PLAYER None RB Ahman Green (0) OFF RUSH 13 5 2-34 CB Chris Cook CB Lito Sheppard - NYJ (9) LT Artis Hicks (3) OFF RUSH 14 16 1-23 LT RB DeShawn Wynn (0) OFF PASS 8! 25! 2-51 RB Toby Gerhart RB Ryan Moats - HOU (2) CB Karl Paymah (2) OFF PASS 7! 8! 2-56 DE DE Aaron Kampman (9) 3-71 SS DE Michael Montgomery (0) TOT DEF 6 6 4-100 DE TOT DEF 2 20 DEF RUSH 2 1 5-161 OG Chris DeGeare 5-154 TE FS (0) 5-167 LB DEF RUSH 1 26 5-169 RG DEF PASS 19x 19x DEF PASS 5 12 6-193 RB SACKS VS 15 26 6-199 WR 7-214 TE Mickey Shuler SACKS VS 32 18 7-230 DE CJ Wilson SACKS BY 1 4 7-237 LB Ryan D’Imperio SACKS BY 11 24 TURNOVERS +6 -6 TURNOVERS +24 +7 After a summer of drawn out speculation & media hype, fl ew into MIN on 8/18/09 & 90 min after GB had quite a few questions surrounding them LY as DC's had a whole offseason to break down & landing was on the practice fi eld. Favre silenced his critics with the best statistical year of his career going 5-1 the defense was embarking on a transition to the 3-4 under . Capers would work wonders with 2008's vs NFC North foes with a 15-0 TD/int ratio.

HC Mike McCarthy off a foot injury. They then traded out of the 1st RD picking up an extra 2nd & while they were criticized for still wanted the OL to be a priority for the draft although he made it clear he wasn't going to reach. GB was found missing Patrick Robinson their true target was Chris Cook. Cook was the biggest CB (6-2 212) in the draft & itself in an ideal spot when Bulaga, who was tabbed by many to go to KC at #5, dropped to them. While some has the versatility to play CB or eventually shift to FS like Antrel Rolle. MIN then traded up 11 spots to acquire Gerhart who is an ideal West Coast offense FB. While he won't be able to bowl over defenders like he did at noted that Bulaga is better suited to RT, the Packers are going to put their 1st OL taken in the 1st RD since 1997 Stanford he is a reliable receiver & MIN likes him as a short-yardage back & pass blocker. The Vikings looked (Ross Verba) & work him at LT. He will be the swing OT at worse & could push RT Tauscher or LT Clifton for a spot ahead to their depth as Ray Edwards could be traded prior to camp & Griffen has 1st RD pass rush ability but in camp. Neal is a big (6-3 294), strong (31 reps) 5 technique DE for Capers' defense & he'll be allowed to rotate teams were concerned about his work ethic. While still a top tier LG, Hutchinson turns 33 TY & the Vikings in as a rookie so as to not overload him. Burnett was on quite a few teams' boards for a good mid-round value. He needed interior depth. DeGeare can play either OG spot & is big enough (6-3 325) to be an emergency RT. has above avg cover skills and is a quality hitter with no durability issues. Quarless had character issues at Penn Kleinsasser is regarded as one of the best blocking TE's in the NFL but is 33 & Shuler has a similar skill set St & is a low risk option at a deep TE position. Starks is rather agile for a big RB (6-2 218) but playing at Buffalo but needs lots of time in the weight room.

Cutler The bad news is that the Lions are 33-111 since 2001 & over the L2Y have set an NFL record for losses struggled in a new system with no proven WR's, a poor OL & tallied a 12-20 ratio on the road. The defense (30) & most points allowed (1,011) since the NFL switched to the 16 game schedule in 1978. One of their was blasted by injuries in the back 7, lowlighted by Urlacher missing the season after breaking his wrist in the 14 losses LY was to the NFL's only single win team on a fake FG. The good news is that the Lions drafted 5 season opener. After the season Lovie Smith replaced his OC with Mike Martz & relinquished the DC duties rookie starters including a franchise QB with Stafford though his rookie #'s (2-8 record, 227 ypg, 53%, 13-20) to , the former DET HC. The problem with Martz's offensive style is that the rest of the NFL has are very similar to 's in 2002. A career DC, Schwartz made the DL a priority in the offseason caught onto it. Since 2002 his system has avg'd 4,269 pass yds (63.3%) but only has a 22-23 ratio with 51 & it looks as if he's changed it from a major weakness to a team strength for 2010. By picking up Vanden sacks allowed. Minus a 1st RD DC due to the Cutler trade & a 2nd that they sent to TB LY for the late Gaines Bosch in FA & trading with CLE for Williams, DET has 2 good vets to develop Sammie Hill (4th RD DC '09) & Adams, the Bears had no choice but to be aggressive in the limited FA market. They spent a huge amount of the consensus best player in the draft in Suh. Suh dominated the NCAA on a rare level LY & would have won money for Peppers & Taylor to put teeth into the defense & balance out the offense. Peppers is a 14 sack player the Heisman if it wasn't so oriented towards offensive players. Suh gives DET the Albert Haynesworth style when he's into the game & he should benefi t from the change of scenery. Taylor has a similar playing style to of player which was so successful for Schwartz when he was with TEN. In a mild surprise DET traded up for Matt Forte & will be a big factor on 3rd downs as a blocker & receiver. CHI was fortunate to have Wright fall to Best who is known for his career ending neck inj/concussion vs Oregon St. Best brings some sorely needed them in the draft & it is critical that he earns a starting spot in TC. Wright has speed (4.48), is a willing hitter speed to the offense (4.35) & is a good option as a receiver. Three of the DB spots are wide open here (60-13 & has good cover skills for the Bears' zone defense. Wootton could be a steal as he had 26 plays behind the TD/Int L2Y) with only FS Delmas guaranteed a spot so Spievey is likely to start. While not the fastest CB (4.53) line as a Junior but an ACL injury in Dec 2009 set him back. He struggled as a senior but should feel more he is a physical & dependable tackler that Schwartz covets. Fox will be the swing OT for 2010 & DET feels comfortable a year removed from the inj. Moore is an attempt to shore up depth in the secondary & is likely he can also play OG in a pinch. Young is a tweener DE/OLB who will come in as a situational pass rusher & a dime & special teams player. LeFevour was tabbed as a poor man's Tim Tebow before scouts soured on special teams. DET has a tough start to the season with 3 Div road games in the 1st 4 Wks (15 straight NFC him for not participating at the Combine which caused his stock to drop. CHI still has work to do on the OL & North losses) but get a rematch vs the Rams. They host the Jets & have the Patriots on Thanksgiving. Even Cutler may be exposed too much in pass protection unless Martz has tweaked his philosophies. with the roster makeover DET will be hard pressed to earn 5 wins in 2010.

' mastery of 's offense (1 TD every 15.1 of injuries. Matt Ryan (turf toe) & Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) both missed time & ATL started 4 different pass att's) overcame the inj issues in the secondary to propel the team into the postseason. The Saints players at LCB & 2 at RCB. Ryan & Turner are expected to be 100% for 2010 & the Falcons will also get slot WR post-championship celebrations were expected to hinder their draft plans but GM Mickey Loomis worked Harry Douglas (ACL) back as well as LY's 1st RD DC (ACL). While Ryan's stats on the surface did dip the board well. The Saints were unable to pursue FA's due to the fi nal 8 plan in the uncapped yr. They did (22-14 ratio) the team did expand the playbook & will do so again in 2010. With the injured players returning the upgrade the DE spot with Brown & Wilkerson after releasing Grant. NO missed out on Jerry Hughes so they Falcons decided to stand pat in FA for the most part. They made an expensive but important acquisition of Dunta settled on Robinson to add even more depth to the secondary. Robinson (4.47 spd) gives the unit enough Robinson to boost LY's #28 pass defense which had 1 int every 35.8 pass att's. Robinson is a year removed from depth to allow to move to FS as 's microfracture knee surgery is taking his ACL injury & should be closer to being a top 10 CB. Mike Peterson did a mediocre job at WLB LY after not longer to heal than expected. Brown's stock slipped due to a back concern & his selection was a case of having played it for 5 yrs but he turns 34 in June. Weatherspoon is strong (squats 770), smart & his production (396 tackles L3Y) is backed up by the fi lm. ATL feels he is a true 3 down LB who along with Curtis Lofton gives taking the best player available. The Saints traded Jammal Brown to the Redskins and drafting Charles them a very formidable LB unit. Peters is a big (6-3 300) run stuffer who will tie up OL to allow the LB's make Brown ensured depth at the position. Graham is a 4 yr basketball player who only has 1 yr of exp as a the plays. HC believes in developing interior OL & he feels that the team can get another year out football player at Miami, Fl. NO lacked depth at TE & Shockey has a history of inj's which makes a young of OC Todd McClure. Hawley will learn the system in 2010 while being a swing OC/OG. Johnson is insurance receiving prospect a need. The Saints traded up for local product Woods to help shore up their run defense as Justin Blalock is in the fi nal year of his contract & the team still remembers 2007 when they were forced to & feel that he can fi ght for time in the rotation. OC Jon Goodwin is 31 & the team needed a player they could play their 3rd string OT's so depth is important. Franks will challenge for a spot in the nickel defense & will be a develop for 2011. Tennant has talent but he's dislocated both elbows so his stock dropped. NO has a major backup KR/PR. ATL enters 2010 with a fairly favorable schedule. They open at PIT without Roethlisberger, get off-fi eld distraction brewing revolving Loomis, Payton & asst HC which could deal a severe blow to PHI off a long road trip from SF followed by CIN at home. They also get BAL & GB at home but have a 3 game the team. They have a very tough sked opening vs MIN, SF & ATL. They have 4 road gms in the fi nal 6 wks road stand in early Dec vs TB/CAR/SEA before closing out with 2 home games vs NO & CAR. The Falcons have as well as 4 primetime gms. This is a talented tm but it'll be very tough to win 13 games in 2010. more than enough talent on hand to challenge the potentially distracted Saints for the NFC West.

For the 2nd str yr the team The Glazer family surprised the NFL with the sudden fi rings of John Gruden & Bruce Allen opting for Raheem entered the draft without a 1st RD pick. Fox stated "the tm is on a budget" & has let a slew of quality veteran talent Morris who had never been a DC in the NFL as HC & who was tabbed as a 1st yr GM. Morris go incl Julius Peppers. Hurney & Fox are in the fi nal yrs of their contracts & are approaching this as "a contract spent the offseason tweaking the team to his style on both sides of the ball but in a stunning move fi red OC yr" as owner Richardson has shown no interest in new contracts. Fox admitted the tm was going to target the Jeff Jagodzinski 10 days before the start of the season. TB lost its 1st 7 games but upset a GB team who was best WR on the board with the 48th pick overall going into the draft. Instead they found Clausen staring at them struggling after a MIN loss & looking ahead to DAL. Morris realized the players couldn't run the new style of with the #48 pick. Questions about his foot inj & ability to interact with his teammates had dogged him throughout defense & went back to the 2008 playbook. TB is rebuilding itself in its former image & drafted an ideal fi t for the draft process but he is an excellent match for the '10 Panthers. He has 3 yrs exp at Notre Dame running the its DL. McCoy is a penetrating 2 gap DT that has excellent leverage & has gotten 's blessing. offense that OC Jeff Davidson runs & Davidson also learned it from Charlie Weis in NE ('00-'04). CAR cont'd Price will be the pivot point as the NT chewing up double teams & the two of them will help a defense which to try & improve its passing attack with LaFell stepping in as the possession WR with Muhammad gone. They allowed 158 ypg (4.8) on the ground LY. Keeping expectations in perspective for McCoy & Price is that of the traded a 2nd RD DC in '11 for Edwards who will get to battle for the slot WR spot & be the primary KR/PR. While 17 DL DC's taken in the 1st 2 rounds in 2006-08 they have tallied 4 FF's & 17 sacks combined in their rookie a risky deal it all but assures CAR will be looking to trade down in 2011's 1st RD to try to recoup it. Only MLB years. Lewis will be able to challenge for a nickel CB spot in TC & the Bucs need him to develop as Barber is Beason was able to play all 16 gms LY & Norwood is insurance if CAR moves Dan Connor to WLB as Thomas in the twilight of his career. TB needed to draft a WR to develop with promising (3-6 LY) & got Davis underwent 2 ACL surg's in the L/7 months. Hardy will be a part of the rotation as a pass rushing DE for a a underrated prospect in Benn. Benn's stock fell due to poor QB play & the team adjusting to a new system & unit that no longer has 3 of its 4 starters from '09 on board. Pugh is a hybrid CB/S that will get most of his play OC. Williams has a good size/speed mix (6-1 221 4.52) to be a 1st or 2nd RD possession WR but his time at time on ST's. Pike had a 3rd RD tag prior to not working out at the Combine & is clearly being groomed for a bkp Syracuse wasn't very smooth. Dominik is intent on rebuilding the team via the draft & won't overpay for vets spot. CAR has to travel to face NYG, SEA, PIT & ends the season at ATL. They do host CIN, CHI, BAL & face just to have them in the locker room. TB has an early bye week (Wk 4) & has 4 road games in 5 wks vs ARZ, ARZ for the 10th time in 9 yrs. While Clausen is a good fi t for CAR, the Panthers are seriously lacking in depth ATL, SF & BAL in late Oct/Nov. The good news is that TB likely got 4 starters, a nickel CB & a P in the draft especially on D with 5 new st'rs. Our belief in Fox keeps us from making the grade lower. which is excellent but Raheem Morris may be building the team for another coach in 2011. es 22010010 PRO SCOREBOOK: COLLEGE SCOREBOOK: Pag • AWESOME ANGLE SECTION 700 • LAST 20 YEARS RESULTS OOverver 700 Pagesed!!!

No team has been hurt more in FA despite the CBA record since going 10-6 in 2002. Singletary put most of his efforts into the #15 defense which produced 1 sk situation than the Cardinals. They have lost 6 starters via FA or trade & they were forced to play catch up in the for every 13.2 pass att's as SF improved their TO margin by +27 vs 2008. OC Jimmy Raye shifted the offense draft to replace the talent. The good news is that the Cardinals have planned ahead with Warner's retirement from a power run system to a spread offense which highlighted QB Smith, TE Davis' & rookie WR Crabtree's as HC has already stated the team will run much more in 2010 with Wells & Hightower to skills. Singletary continued to shape the team this yr in the draft by adding a pair OL with their two 1st RD DC's support 's growth. While Whisenhunt is doing the right things in preparing for the Leinart era the after only using 3 on OL over the previous 41 years. The 49ers reaffi rmed their commitment to Frank Gore & the Cardinals were very interested in Donovan McNabb. The Cardinals were rewarded for their patience in a deep ground game while admitting they needed to upgrade the pass blocking (1 sack every 13.2 pass att's) for their draft & were able to take the best true 3-4 NT in Dan Williams. Whisenhunt has seen the value of a standout spread attack. SF traded a 4th RD DC to move up 2 spots to take Davis who is a mauler in the run gm & solid NT when he was with PIT in & Williams will allow a former NT Alan Branch to shift to DE & vs the pass but he had questions about his work ethic after odd behavior at the Rutgers Pro Day. He improves fortify that position. Daryl Washington is a highly athletic player who has a skill set similar to James Harrison & 2 spots as LY's RT Adam Snyder shifts to RG. Iupati's star exploded at the practices & he is an he'll learn the OLB spot behind another former Steeler in Joey Porter. Even with the trade of Anquan Boldin the instant starter at LG for a tm that will value his nasty streak. SF tallied 1 int every 32.2 pass att's LY & they got Cardinals have a deep WR unit & were able to afford taking Roberts in the 3rd RD as a KR/PR & slowly groom a surprise addition with Mays who slid into the 2nd RD despite his 4.32 spd. Bowman is a good run stuffi ng him into the system. Skelton is a bigger (6-5 243) more athletic version of Derek Anderson out of Fordham who ILB who will learn the system behind & the NFL's best 3-4 ILB in Patrick Willis. Dixon has a lot will need lots of coaching to develop. Schofi eld is a very interesting prospect as he had a 2nd RD grade but tore of CFB carries on his body (910) but SF feels he'll be a good compliment to Gore without sacrifi cing power in an ACL at the Senior Bowl which caused his stock to drop. He'll start the season on the PUP & be introduced the offense. Byham is a tough blocking TE that is at best a short yardage option like the Steelers . as a pass rush specialist. ARZ has 3 tough road games vs ATL, SD & MIN and they also open the season with SF took a big step in upgrading their special teams by acquiring Ginn who is not suited to be more than a slot 3 road games in the 1st 4 Wks. They do get the Saints & Cowboys at home along with a 3 game home stand WR, he is a difference maker on returns. SF has 5 road trips in their 1st 8 games including a game vs DEN in in late Nov/early Dec. The Cardinals will have a very tough fi ght on their hands for the NFC West in 2010 with London. They do get NO & PHI at home but GB & SD are on the road in the 2nd half of the season. It wouldn't SF maturing & SEA's solid draft combined with an energetic HC & the best QB in the division. be a surprise if the SF/ARZ gm was the SNF season fi nale as it determines the NFC West Champion.

STL went into 2009 with a 1st was a roster that was old & lethargic. With 9 of their 11 losses by 10 or more pts & scoring just 10 pts or less in year HC/OC/DC at the helm of talent defi cient team & were a fake FG vs DET away from being the 2nd 0-16 3 of the fi nal 4 gms, SEA owner Paul Allen cleaned house & lured away from USC. One of Carroll's team in NFL history. The Rams only scored 17 TD's compared to 1999-2001 Rams who averaged 58 TD's a 1st moves was to retain DC who was with the tm under Mora & kept his system. SEA had a strong year. The lone bright spot for STL was leading the NFC with 1,416 yds (4.4) rushing. For the draft as they fi lled many key needs by simply letting the board fall to them. Okung is a big & powerful LT who will 1st time since 1963 the Rams had earned the 1st pick in the draft outright (traded with Jets in 1997 for Pace) replace Hall of Fame LT Walter Jones who fi nally retired. SEA only made 1 int every 43.7 pass att's & 1 sk every & for the 1st time since 1964 the Rams took a QB with their 1st pick. While Bradford did miss most of 2009 with 20.3 pass att's so drafting Thomas was a natural fi t in a pass heavy division. Thomas typifi es the elite FS/CB a shoulder injury he wowed the Rams at the Combine at 6-4 236. After studying the tape & going to Bradford's hybrid who can cover a lot of ground without sacrifi cing run support. Carroll personally scouted Tate in the USC/ Pro Day which was labeled "the best since Troy Aikman's" the Rams took the one consensus franchise QB ND games the L/3Y & knows exactly how good he can be as he enters 2010 as the slot WR. Tate will also be the in the draft. STL then added Saffold in the 2nd RD to bolster an OL which has had the same starting 5 play primary return specialist in 2010. Thurmond was a 2nd RD talent but sustained a severe knee inj last Sept but 5 games in a row just once since 2005. At one point LY the Rams only had 1 healthy WR who could practice is expected to be ready to challenge for a nickel DB spot in TC. Wilson is a run stuffi ng DE for a DL that allowed & Gilyard is a slot receiver that will also be given every chance as the main KR/PR. Hoomanawanui is a pure 111 ypg (4.1) rushing LY & Chancellor is an old school run stuffi ng Safety. McCoy was slowed by an ankle injury blocking TE while Onobun is a long-term developmental prospect as a receiving TE. Defensively the Rams LY & tested positive at the Combine so his stock dropped from a 3rd RD grade to the 6th RD being the only USC have been rather conservative in FA & the draft. Murphy is a cover CB who will come in as the #3 CB & will player drafted by Carroll. SEA remains interested in BUF's after their failed experiment with see time on special team coverage units. Davis & Sims are similar developmental pass rushers who will need LenDale White but compensation is the issue. Leon Washington sustained a nasty broken leg LY for the Jets but time to grow. Selvie had an outstanding 2007 (14.5 sacks, 17 tfl ) but disappeared afterwards. In looking at a the risk of a 5th RD pick for his potential was worth it. SEA's sked is favorable as they get SD, NYG, CAR & ATL team that's had just 1 Pro Bowl player drafted in the 2000's it's tough to call for improvement. Their winnable at home & the farthest East they travel is to TB at the end of the yr. SEA stands to improve their record as long games TY look to be DET, TB, CAR & KC. The primary goal for 2010 should be to keep Bradford off the fi eld as they can keep Hasselbeck healthy as Whitehurst has 0 NFL pass att's while Losman had 1 att LY. until after the bye week so he gets adjusted to the NFL & doesn't have a David Carr type of career. ‘‘07-'0907-'09 RREGEG SSSNSN GGAMESAMES OFOF MONTHMONTH (Y)(Y) u Kno Yo w? 119-89-8 770%!0%! id 2007 Sept GOM's 2008 November GOM's D at RENEW NOW! 5!
