This defense has more talent than the 2004 unit that dominated at times and took the team to the NFC Championship game. The new safeties, Milloy and Crocker, are better than the guys they are replacing, though that?s not saying much. RB Warrick Dunn still has life in his legs and he and Pro Bowl TE Alge Crumpler are both excellent check-down receivers. QB Michael Vick is still a major weapon with his legs, and the Falcons have installed an offensive system that should take advantage of his skills. They have excellent depth and versatility at RB, and the DL and secondary both have improved depth. Read more »

Gregg Williams will be entering his third season in Washington with the hopes of repeating the same success as last year.

They bring back a veteran defensive front that has played effectively together for years, often dominant. New defensive coordinator Dom Capers has produced tremendous results with less talent than he?s got here.

Last season I called the 49ers the least talented team I?d ever seen, and they overachieved to win 4 games. This team should be better offensively, but still isn?t any better than about 25th unless Alex Smith makes the biggest improvement in league history.
