The Cardinals are still the cardinals, but now they have a ton of weapons, I'd like to see what happens with this team in a couple of years. Dennie Green is looking to re-create Minnesota's juggernaut offense, but Defense is still gonna be tough.
Yeah, the Pats did make out real well with the draft choices on offense. Dangerous players that they needed, but the secondary is NOT looking good. Can the pats win with an decreasingly stable D every year? Is ty law signed to a team yet? or could the Pats still pick him up for as a band-aid?
I think the Cards and Saints improved more through free agency then the draft itself. |
He's coming of an ACL tear. You're almost never the same after that. And you can't say Brees isn't a step up from Brooks, even with his rotator cuff as a problem. Contenders for the playoffs? No? Contenders in comparison to the past couple of seasons? Heck yes.
The Cards have had the offensive firepowere(minus QB) for a few seasons now. Now that they have a solid veteran, and more than a solid backup who will be a starter in a season, they're stepping up.
Well, that goes without saying. The Pats D was an obvious , no , is an obvious need. I honestly was pretty shocked at the draft choices, but I trust the man BB. I'm just going to take it in stride and see what happens. Law had his most productive year last year as a part of your jets, he doesn't need 80 tackles, he just needs to do what he did in New York and that would increase the Pats' D by at least 25%. And considering Rodney comes back 50% as good as he was(he will never be the same, he tore like every ligamanent in the knee as possible) we have a solid chance to compete, and not look so womanly in the secondary.
So basically, I think the Saints are looking well, and they deserve Bush. Cards are impressing me and they're my sleeper, look for them to go 8-8, 7-8, which is still a step up from last years debacle of a record.
