Bills season preview

Buffalo Bills v Philadelphia Eagles

Offense: The offense is looking bleak, especially after they went on a trading spree. I am a fan of Tyrod Taylor, but the Bills clearly aren’t. They keep looking for every opportunity to replace this guy. I bet rookie Nathan Peterman gets a start or two by the end of the year. The offense revolves around LeSean McCoy. He is getting up there in age but he is still getting it done. The wide receivers were bad, but then they traded Sammy Watkins, so it’s really not good now. Jordan Matthews, Zay Jones, and a bunch of no names. Woah. The tight ends are fine. Charles Clay is fine. Meh. The offensive line is actually pretty good led by Richie Igcognito and Cordy Glenn. Overall, this offense is McCoy or bust. It’s a bunch of Meh.

Defense: The defense is looking pretty good. If Marcell Darius can keep his head on straight, with Jerry Hughes, Shaq Lawson, and Kyle williams around him, this d-line can be really good. The linebackers are not good, but at least Lorenzo Alexander is good but there is absolutely no depth there. The corners were looking to be good, but they lost Stephon Gilmore in FA and traded Ronald Darby to the Eagles. Now, Tre”Darious White has been lust into a major role on this defense. The safeties are pretty good, especially free agent addition Micah Hyde. Overall, this defense is not looking good due to a lack of depth and overall talent.

Jets season preview

Leonard Williams

Offense: This offense looks historically bad. The QB situation is a mess. Let’s be real, they all suck. Hackenburg is horrible, and so is Petty, and we know what Josh McCown. The running backs are the bright spot of the offense, as Bilal Powell is pretty good. The wide receivers are not good, especially with Quincy Enunwa out for the season. Robby Anderson is pretty good, but there is literally no one besides him. The tight end position is kind of a joke, but I like Jordan Leggett’s upside. The offensive line is a mess and has no potential players. Overall, this offense may go down as the worst offense ever. Like ever.

 

Defense: The defense has some pieces. Leonard Williams is the face of the franchise on the d-line, and I like the pieces around him there. Even though Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson had down years last year, they are still talented. Darron Lee and Jordan Jenkins have potential at linebacker, the corners are kind of a mess but Morris Claiborne is not horrible. The safeties are gonna be good. Jamal Adams is a beast and I liked Marcus Maye. Overall, the defense has some guys, and they need to continue to build through the draft.

Patriots season preview

Super Bowl XLIX - New England Patriots v Seattle Seahawks

Offense: The offense is amazing per usual. Tom Brady won his 5th super bowl last year, and continues to cement his legacy as the GOAT. He is the best QB in the game. The running backs aren’t great, but they always seem to outplay their potential. I expect the same. The wide receivers are great. Brandin Cooks is added to an already loaded group of Julien Edleman, Danny Amendola, Malcolm Mitchell, and Chris Hogan. Add in the best tight end ever Gronk and Brady has more then enough toys to play with. The Oline is very good, especially the interior. Overall, the offense looks like it could be legendary.
Defense: The defense also looks really good. The dline is good led by Trey Flowers, Malcolm Brown, and the addition of Kony Ealy. The linebackers are okay, but they have Donte Hightower, who is really good. The secondary is the strength of the defense. The cornerbacks, led by pro bowler and super bowl hero Malcolm Butler, and free agent additon Stephon Gilmore. They look really good. The safeties are great. Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung form a nice duo. Overall, the defense looks to be really good.

49ers season preview

Navarro Bowman

Offense: The offense continues to be a struggle. Brian Hoyer is an average, Journeyman NFL QB, so he is nothing special. He is fine, but not good. The running backs are not good either. Carlos Hyde is talented, but your best ability is availability and he is always hurt. The guy behind him, rookie fourth round pick, quit football so I can’t trust his passion for the game. The wide receivers have added talent like Pierre Garcon, but still lack in terms of depth and stardom. The tight ends are okay with Vance McDonald. The offensive line is horrible outside of Joe Staley, who is getting old. Hopefully new head coach Kyle Shanahan can work some of his magic, because this offense is not looking too good.

 

Defense:The defense has definitely added talent, but it still has a long way to go. I love the talent on the dline with Solomon Thomas, Deforest Buckner, and Arik Armstead. The linebackers have an aging veteran star Navarro Bowman to teach rookie future star Reuben Foster (my favorite player in the draft) how to play in the NFL. Like the pieces at linebacker. The secondary is a mess with busts and unproven guys. The like Jimmie Ward at safety and Rashaud Robinson at corner, but that is kinda it. The like the potential for the defense, but it definitely needs to add more talent.

Rams season preview

Jared goff

Offense: There are a couple guys in the NFL that I just like and want to succeed. One of those guys is Jared Goff. Loved him out of cal and still think he is going to be really good. He looks more comfortable in the pocket and more confident. I expect big things from Jared Goff this year. I also expect a bounce back year from Todd Gurley. He was bad last year, but great his rookie year. I am betting he returns to form just because he is too damn talented. The wide receiving core also looks very promising. Acquiring Sammy Watkins gives the group the speed threat they sorely lacked. He just needs to stay healthy. Cooper Kupp was my guy in the draft this year, as I had him higher then Mike Williams. He has been blowing it up so far. Him and Goff seem to have great chemistry. Robert Woods and Tavon Austin are very good 3rd and 4th options in a receiving core, so I like the depth too. The tight ends are okay, but have potential. Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett will fight it out for the starting job, but both have high upsides. The offensive line isn’t great, but it will improve with the addition of left tackle Andrew Whitworth, one of the best in the game. Overall, I expect big things from the rams offense this year.

 

Defense: The defensive line looks good, led by probably the best defensive player in football Aaron Donald. Just pay him the money he deserves, he is great. I like Brockers opposite him too. Robert Quinn is solid and I think Connor Barwin bounces back from last years bad year. The linebackers are not ideal, as they have a bunch of B- C+ kind of players like Mark Barron and Alec Ogletree. The cornerbacks are not great either. With the loss of EJ Gaines, the only proven corner they have on their roster is Trumaine Johnson. The safeties are really good though. Maurice Alexander and Lamarcus Joyner are both really good football players, and will hopefully help hide the corners mistakes. The defense is not as strong as it used to be, but it can be pretty good.

Cardinals season preview

Buccaneers Cardinals Football

Offense: At QB, we have Carson Palmer. He was great 2 years ago, finishing 2nd in MVP voting and leading this Cardinals team to the NFC championship, where they got destroyed by MVP winner Cam Newton. Last year, he battled injuries and looked to have lost some arm strength. He just looked older and more brittle. Now to the star of the team. At running back, David johnson has been a superstar. Last year he had over 2200 total yards and 20 touchdowns. He also had 80 catches. Woah. He was the cardinals offense last year, and he will be their offensive identity this year. The wide receivers are okay this year, but might be screwed soon if Larry Fitz decides to hang up the cleats soon, even though he is still really good. John Brown was a huge disappointment last year, however JJ Nelson impressed me. The tight end position is below average. Jermaine Gresham is okay, but can’t stay healthy. The offensive line is pretty good at every spot, but not great at one. If everyone stays healthy and Palmer is better then last year, the offense can be quite good.

Defense: The defensive line is going to be really good, especially is Robert Nkemdiche can get his act together. Chandler Jones and Marcus Golden are both great pass rushers off the edge, and if Nkemdiche can be as dominant as his potential indicates, this could be scary. The linebackers are average. Karlos Dansby is getting old, but I really like the versatility of first round pick Haason Reddick. The cornerbacks are okay as well. Patrick Peterson is a stud, but behind him is nothing to brag about(Cough Justing Bethel Cough). The safeties have the potential to be outstanding. The honeybadger Tyrann Mathieu has been great when healthy, and I really liked the second round pick of Budda Baker. Watch out QB’s, that;s scary. Overall, the defense has pieces, they just need to mesh and have some guys step up.

Seahawks season preview

russell-wilson-tri-e1436223459699

Offense: This offense relies solely on the guy above in the picture. Russell Wilson. He is a great QB who is an even better leader and person. One of the best in the league. The running backs. Well, there are a lot of them. Eddie Lacy is overweight and Thomas Rawls always is hurt. They need someone to step up to take pressure off of Wilson, but I don’t think they have the horses to do that. The wide receivers are pretty good. Doug Baldwin continues to be underrated, and the cast around him are guys we have seen for years like Jermaine Kearse and Paul Richardson. The tight ends are really good. Jimmy Graham had a bounce back year last year and looked good, and I liked the depth. The offensive line is trash. Its one good player, Justin Britt the center, and then a bunch of trash. Wilson will be running for his life. This offense is Wilson or bust.

 

Defense: The defense is loaded on all three levels. Michael Bennett continues to be a complete stud. He is so disruptive. Next to him is Cliff Avril, who continues to be really good, and Jarren Reed. The d-line looks good. The linebackers are great. Bobby Wagner is the 2nd best linebacker in the NFL and a freak athlete. KJ wright continues to be one of the most underrated in the NFL. The linebackers look really good. The secondary is so good as well. We all know Richard Sherman is great, as he has been for years. They added Trumaine Brock opposite him and I like the depth there. The strength of the team are the safeties. Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor are both All-Pro level players and complement each other perfectly. Overall, the defense will be great once again.

Saints season preview

New York Giants v New Orleans Saints

Offense: Despite the loss of Brandin Cooks, the offense, like every year, looks really good. Drew Brees is a HOF and has shown no signs of slowing down. He is so good. The running backs are gonna be a committee, but they are all pretty good. Adrian Peterson might be washed up, but the upside is outrageous and Mark Ingram has been pretty good throughout his career. Alvin Kamara is a guy a really liked coming out of Tennessee. Overall, the running backs can be good. The wide receivers are pretty good. Brees will probably make them look great, but Cooks being gone will hurt. Michael Thomas is a beats though. Tight end Coby Fleener is trash. The offensive line was really good, but lost the starting left tackle T.Armstead went down for the year, so rookie Ryan Ramzcyk has to step up. Overall, the offense will be good as long as drew bress- Sean Payton are together.

 

Defense: Sucks. Still sucks. The defensive line is pretty good. Cameron Jordan is the star of the defense and sheldon Rankins is pretty good, but lacks overall balance. The linebackers are not good and continually hold back this team. Stephone Anthony, woah has been such a bust. The cornerbacks have potential but are young and inexperienced, led by Marshon Lattimore. Kenny Vacarro and Vonn bell make up a solid Safety core. Overall, this defense still needs more talent and that’s insane because they have been drafting to fix it for years.

Buccaneers season preview

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Atlanta Falcons

Offense: The offense has its clear strengths and weaknesses. Jameis Winston is on the brink of stardom, and he has clearly established himself as a franchise QB. He is a great leader and great player. The running backs are not good. I think Doug Martin bounces back, but he was horrible last year. Jaquizz Rodgers is a good 3rd down back, but he can’t be the guy. Jeremy McNichols and Charles Sims will fight for the 3rd spot. The wide receivers are great. Mike Evans is spectacular. So good. Adding Desean Jackson is the perfect compliment as a deep threat. I like the depth there too with rookie Chris Godwin. Tight end is really good too. Cameron Brate was really good and all they did was add the best rookie tight end in OJ Howard. The position is loaded. The key weakness is the offensive line, especially the tackles. They have to improve at o-line in order to be great.

 

Defense: The defense has pieces everywhere but does not have the depth necessary.  The d-line is pretty good. Gerald McCoy is a beast, everyone knows it. But besides him, Ayers and Spence are alright, and I don’t even know who the 4th guy is. Lacks Balance. The linebackers are the best part of the defense. Lorenzo Alexander and Levonte David are both stars and are both building blocks. They continue to be very good. The secondary has potential, but it is not great. Brent Grimes had a career year last year, lets see if he continues his success, and while Vernon Hargraves III had his struggles last year, he flashed potential. The safeties are okay, with Keith Tandy being a standout and Chris Conte just being a guy. Overall, this defense has players to build around, but they have a lot of holes as well.
