sabadahabada Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 i think the saints are putting the pieces together for a much improved season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 I think it's a toss up between the Saints and Lions, but will go with the Lions. - I think the addition of Mike Martz and Kitna will bring that offense to life combined with the much needed discipline from their head coach. - Plus the fact they are in a division that has 2 other new head coaches. The Saints are in a tougher division but will be a team to be reckoned with in a year or two. The Chiefs are also in a tough division with new coaches and an offense that is another year older.

CPstretch Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 herm edwards has inherited a playoff caliber team. a lot will be said about him if they dont make the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm not entirely sure who will have the best among those...but for some reason I get the feeling that Eric Mangini will have a pretty good 1st season. Not saying the best by any means, but just a feeling I get. If I happen to be completely wrong..ah well, it happens:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 herm edwards has inherited a playoff caliber team. a lot will be said about him if they dont make the playoffs they won 10 games last year, but missed the playoffs. - If he can improve their defense they might hang in there, but they lost the guy that has been running that offense. - I have a feeling the offense will go through an adjustment period. ...BTW, I think KC would be a great fit for Ty Law.

Warhead36 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm going with the Rams in a "sleeper" pick. They already have a great Offense, and Linehan is a great Offensive guy. With Bulger back and healthy, they could have a new and improved Greatest Show on Turf. Linehan is also more commited to the run. They play in a weak division as well. Not to mention when they're winning, the EJ Dome is a tough place to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 herm edwards has inherited a playoff caliber team. a lot will be said about him if they dont make the playoffs I went with Herm, but it was tough. There are a few not so good coaches on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm going with the Rams in a "sleeper" pick.They already have a great Offense, and Linehan is a great Offensive guy. With Bulger back and healthy, they could have a new and improved Greatest Show on Turf. Linehan is also more commited to the run. They play in a weak division as well. Not to mention when they're winning, the EJ Dome is a tough place to play. These were good points. I might've voted for the Rams if I had thought about all of this first :mad: . I think the best point there is the division they play in. Rams have all the pieces for a solid offense, and facing the 49er's and the Cardinals 4 times a year doesn't hurt, so I could see them doing pretty well. It'll really help if they get Jackson going in the running game too, he could be explosive on that turf.I still voted the Chiefs though. I think Edwards has a lot of good offensive pieces to the puzzle there, and losing Saunders is a bit of a blow but they have a lot of coaches left over from Saunders' system, so it won't drop off that much. I don't think anyone will be too upset if Edwards doesn't get them to the playoffs this year- he pretty much has to start over from ground zero on the defense and do things like teach the players how to actually make a tackle. If they can't make it two years from now though, that'll be a different story. The other question mark is Trent Green, since it seems like we're getting closer to his final hour and who knows what they'll do when he leaves. On the other hand, I think the Raiders will be a show next season. Aaron Brooks as their QB? Art Shell dusted off as their coach? Outside of Michael Huff, that defense still looks a bit hurting on paper. Sounds like an experiment destined for disappointment to me. It still makes me bitter to think about how we lost that game to them last year, such a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shsu1 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have to with Herm Edwards. He's not really a "new" coach as he has much experience and he also inherited a team with a lot of talent that works under a similar system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I voted for Childress because of the weakness of the NFC North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'd say the Lions based on their division. I think they're good for about 8-9 wins. Mike Martz proved in Washington that he could get solid offense with average players and we all know what he did in St. Louis (immediately no less - remember he didn't come on until 1999). Minny, Chic, and GB all are flawed teams. Put the Lions in the NFC East and they're a 5 win team. In the North, there's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
