21. Tennessee Titans.The very definition of “also-rans.”
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Josh Freeman still holds the ball too long on drop backs. The Bucs will be a team that starts slowly and finishes 7-1 in the second half.
23. San Francisco 49ers.
People are way too high on this team. Jimmy Durante aka Colin Kaepernick has been figured out, and despite a decent running game, they have a ton of unproven players
siding up with Anquan Boldin and Vernon Davis, who has had to resort to lining up as a WR more than ever, because of the loss of Michael Crabtree to injury, and Ted
Ginn and Kyle Williams, both of whom were non-factors in the passing game to begin with.
24. Minnesota Vikings.
Adrian Peterson did not notch a carry in the preseason. On orders from on high. They do not want to risk their meal ticket. God knows Christian Ponder has not show any
inclination of being a game-changing QB. In fact, he may be trying to battle Peterson for rushing supremacy at times. Or at least it will appear.
25. Chicago Bears.
Jay Cutler is still Jay Cutler. And they’ve lost a couple of teeth from that defense, as well.
26. Green Bay Packers.
The Packers don’t need to show anything in the preseason offensively. They know what they want to do. However, they feature a lot of the same problems as before —
lack of running game, porous defense. Are these going to be the same ol’ Packers that we’ve seen the past couple of years that light up the skies offensively and
cannot get off the field in big games defensively?
27. Baltimore Ravens.
If you believe the talk around Baltimore, they really haven’t fallen off much at all. While I don’t think they will fall completely out of the hunt for a playoff
spot (9-7ish), they don’t seem like they will start out of the gates quickly. Too many moving parts and new defensive players to integrate. However, you never know in
today’s NFL.
28. Philadelphia Eagles.
Everyone is eager to see what kind of tricks are in the bag of Chip Kelly. If there aren’t any sleights of hand and magic wands that produce a defensive player that
any offensive coordinator feels the need to game plan for, they are going to be in for a ton of 38-35 games this season, and a couple of 41-24 types, also.
29. Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers looked awful in preseason. Most of it due to their offensive line, which has more question marks than a Matthew Lesko jacket. Roethlisberger can often
overcome this, but how consistently can he abandon plays and ad-lib with a line that would be considered an IMPROVEMENT with Wayne Hunter and Dave Diehl at bookend
tackles?
30. New York Jets.
The biggest clown show in the NFL continues to get weirder by the day. Just one look at the waiver wires over the weekend serves to confirm this.
31. Jacksonville Jaguars.
I don’t even know why I bother writing about this team in any facet.
32. Oakland Raiders.
Hue Jackson got fired for THIS gahbidge?
