Rest of my commentary:


9. CAR- Yes, running game is pathetic. It has to get better. No idea what solution is though. Nick Goings, lol? This offense is built on pass, to Steve Smith. I think they can score enough to be fine here. Defense is their strong suit. They did an excellent job against Rams, not so much versus Houston. Need to bring it every week. I haven't heard Peppers name mentioned yet. This is a problem.

10. ARI- Is it possible they have a running game? With me not sold on Seahawks and them having beat said team and 49ers being kind of shaky overall, Arizona played awful against them, maybe, just maybe this team can make an impact. But, this is Arizona. They do have a first year coach. I doubt it.

11. DET- The Philly game will show a whole lot that I want to know. Is this defense any good? Let me rephrase that. Is it not terrible? Maybe. Oakland and Minnesota cannot play much offense so I can't tell yet. This offense without Kitna at helm is an absolute abomination. He is the team for better or worse. Detroit needs to run even more four reciever combonations. So far the line is holding well against two quality fronts. Kitna is making quick decisions, sometimes bad ones. Offense is a well oiled machine. Neither Oakland or Minnesota had any response to the 4 WR set. Kevin Jones comes back soon, he won't relly help running game but is good reciever.

12. MIN- LOL. How can this team not be interested in Leftwich? Tavaris Jackson is clueless. Simple as that. He doesn't even make plays with legs, just worthless overall. Make him win the game and you have no shot. Adrian Peterson is for real and with Chester Taylor healthy plus a bit of Mewelde Moore with that line, they should be able to run. The problem on defense is same as last season. Put out as many recievers as possible and throw. They have no answer to this. Yeah, the Williams' are sick. Decent pass rush. Sharper is making plays too. But, they don't have enough depth to stop a spread out offense. Lucky for them most teams don't have the personnel to run it either.

13. STL- Passing game will slow down eventually b/c of Pace. It's nice to see Bruce have a big game. Maybe he has something left. Obv Jackson needs to get out of slump ASAP. On defense they seemed to play well for once against 49ers. I doubt this is a sign that they have anything resembling quality defensive talent. Anyone watch these games closely, how does Carriker look? Tye Hill out long time, another big loss. I expect decent offenses to put up 30+ points on this team regularly. If Bulger takes a hit and misses time you are looking at worst team in NFL.

14. TB- Team looked sick against Saints. Defense flying around, I thought this was a throwback. Jermaine Phillips and Barett Rudd in particular just leaped off television. They absolutely owned the Saints. Imagine if Gaines Adams starts playing great. Very impressed by this defense. I cannot stress that enough. Jeff Garcia played like he did last year. Offensive line held back Will Smith, Charles Grant all day. Awesome pass protection. Bucs have no run game yet but they have some maulers up front, I think Cadillac could get the engine tuned and if he does watch out. Serious division contenders here.

15. NYG- Holy [censored] this team blows. Coughlin good as gone. Glad to see Eli playing. But, really. Eli needs to play like Peyton every week to just keep them in the game. Defense is hopeless. If/when this team is like 1-6 the media will go crazy. Team obv hates Coughlin, I can see them giving up.

16. ATL- Nothing to say really. I have not seen this team play. Vick was a player that, if not a leader, he inspired the others to play better just to get on sideline and watch IMO. Harrington is the opposite. He's a servicable backup QB but keeps ending up playing most of season. I mean, if he plays more than four games in a row your team is [censored].
