The Tennessee Titans are headed in a new direction after years with Jeff Fisher at the helm. Mike Munchak takes over at head coach and is looking to rebuild the once-proud franchise.
The Jacksonville Jaguars hung around in the playoff race for a few months last year before finally petering out.
The Colts are one of the NFL’s powerhouses thanks to an impressive run of consistency. It shouldn’t be much different in 2011, as most of the same faces are back in place, including Peyton Manning.
The New York Giants are a difficult team to figure out – they have good players at every position but lack greatness in any one area. Eli Manning is OK – certainly not elite, and the running backs have proven decent at times.
Something is different in Dallas this offseason! Not once have I heard any talk of the Cowboys representing the NFC in the Super Bowl February 5.
The Redskins Rebuild continues! Well, scouring the lineup, there still seems to be a whole lot of overrated talent – talent that wore out their welcome on other teams. Tim Hightower was brought in to compete and possibly take over the feature Running Back role – ugh!
Do you need a clinic on how to run a professional sports franchise? Do you need some ideas on how to create some buzz in a professional sports city? Look no further than the Philadelphia Eagles and study what they were able to accomplish in just a few weeks after the lockout.
The Minnesota Vikings enter the 2011-2012 season with a very different team than the one that went 6-10 last season. A much rumored rebuild has been put aside for the time being in favor of some curious signings during the frenzied Free Agency period.
There isn’t a whole lot to dislike about the Green Bay Packers heading into the 2011-2012 season. After all, they emerged as the Top Dog in the NFL last season despite losing 16 regulars to injury.
Optimism is the word commonly heard among Lions land. I know that we have heard it all before but this season there may just be some teeth in the sentiment.
The Chicago Bears enter the 2011-2012 season with perhaps the most to prove of any team in the NFL. Lovie Smith and his coaching staff have one more chance to take this team from pretender to contender or they may be looking for work in the 2012-2013 season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the true surprises of the NFL last season – now expectations may be a tad high considering how young that this team still is.
Well, we can say one thing about the Carolina Panthers going into the 2011 season – they did bring in what promises to be in a good coaching staff – Ron Rivera as Head Coach, Sean McDermott (of the Eagles) as Defensive Coordinator and Rob Chudzinski (of the Chargers) to run the offense.
The New Orleans Saints enter the 2011-2012 season with plenty of motivation. Not only did they lose to Seattle in the first round of the playoffs last season but they also have a couple of NFC South teams right on their heels.
The Arizona Cardinals had a lot of work to do in the shortened offseason but did shore up some enormous gaping hole with the trade for Kevin Kolb and the signing of Linebacker Stewart Bradley.
