NFL Preseason

[FUS1ON]

With the NFL preseason right around the corner, What's your opinion on your favorite team's chances this year?

Here's a link to help you LINK (http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp03/index.html)

[FUS1ON]

My favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings LINK (http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp03/vikings.html)
After 5-11 and 6-10 seasons and the close 1-2 point games they gave away last year, This year looks very promising.

Offence
The offence wasn't the problem/s in the past and shouldn't be again this year
Wide reciever - With Randy Moss, No worries here especially after reading this little info.

For months, Randy Moss worked with a personal trainer on Florida beaches, dragging a 90-pound sled and building up strength in his upper body. His weight went from 197 to 207 and his shoulders added more muscle. He built a weight room in his home.

Also D'Wayne Bates should help take double coverage off of Moss.
Quarterback - So far Dante Culpepper is looking solid in some practices against Kansas City.
Runnerback - What with Michael Bennett out for a undetermined amount of time, Doesn't look too good.
Line - Bryant McKinnie is 6-8, Mike Rosenthal is 6-7 Center Matt Birk is 6-4 = Monsterous, Should be solid and buy time for Moss to go deep.

Defence
The defence is totally revamped since Chris Hovan and Fred Robbins are the only Viking defenders who remain from the 2000 season and the 1990s
Line - With Hovan and Robbins returning and if rookie Kevin Williams can step up, Should be OK.
Linebacker - Hmmm, Lions former first rounder Chris Claiborne was signed and should help.
Cornerbacks - Should be better with tighter coverage this year with pickups like Denard Walker and Ken Irvin

giants all the way :wootrock: after getting ripped off in the 49ers game, we'll comeback this year and kick some butt!

[Slice]

Miami should be strong if they can avoid the injuries this year.

[Dark Reign]

This season promises to be an intresting season for the Broncos with Jake Plummer, who I can't say I feel confident he will prove to be better the Griese.
However, knowing that we also now have Daryl Gardner and Clintion Portis is only in his second year and is already a top rusher in the AFC makes me sleep easier at night.

Playoffs? Maybe. They are just going to have to play hard, strengthen the defense, and with the best coach in the whole league leading these guys, the Orange Crush shall return..........


Oh, and Grimmy- Do the Raiders prefer the taste of mud or dry dirt? Because come next Monday night the Broncs visit Oakland, the "SB Chokers" can have both. Eeee-heee-heee-heee! :devil:

Go Panthers!

[Dan2]

After 3 straight 5 win seasons we're in a re-building year with Bill Parcells taking over. I'll be happy with 8-8.

bret needs more vicoden

[SALvation]

I&#39;m a Lions fan and think they will win more games than the last 2 years combined (5). Maybe even a .500 record if we get lucky.

[Jesus Fish]

I&#39;m a huge Patriots fan but they won&#39;t make the Playoffs in their division (AFC East), But i do think the Chiefs make it to the superbowl, even if they don&#39;t win it.

GO PATS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[FUS1ON]

Hmmm I see there are quite a few "Black & Blue" division fans here, Could be fun here on Monday morning :cool:
