NFL: How's Your Team Looking in training camp?

Sign in to disble this ad
Pack is looking fine, right where they left off last year, only loaded with more talent. Looking like a good draft for Ted Thomson shoring up the O line and secondary. The secondary should not be as much of a concern and our D line should be better with a year's maturation of our #1 pick last year, BJ Raji.

I'm heading up to Lambeau with my boys Tues, and will report back after that, maybe with some pics. I'm optimistic we will be there as one of the big boys contending at the end of the season.

No serious injuries so far, so I can't complain.

Goodell and Madden were hanging around the other day.

Oakland is looking the best they have in years, though that is not saying a whole lot. Can't wait for the season to start.

Da Chargers are missing some top players (contract dispute), but beyond that, they look OK.

Giants have filled the holes on defense, and are looking good!

Offense: returning 11 of 11 starters from their SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON, the best QB in the NFL looks first rate as always, and a few new wrinkles are popping up here & there.

Defense: Lots of new faces, looking very aggressive and mean in 11-on-11 drills, and actually holding their own against the NFL's top offense.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with what I'm seeing, no disputes, no BS, no holdouts, no questions about who may or may not retire. They're looking pretty ready to defend the Lombardi, and put a second one next to it.

TWO DAT!!!

The first team in league history to win a SB at home.

We don't even have to change locker rooms (NFC is the designated home team this year).

T'would be sweet.

Marcus Spears is out for probably just the first game.

Dez Bryant is injured already...wish he was gone forever but whatever.

Oh, are you talking about that stripper den with a stadium built around it? If I recall correctly, the Giants beat the Cowboys twice last year, and the G-men will be even better this year.

Actually, the Saints will be winning TWO in the Edifice To Jerry's Ego this coming season.

Driver just signed a contract extension. Says he'll retire a Packer. Classiest WR in the League.

Colts look pretty solid and not flashy across the board. They will still force teams to be precise when playing them and most will fail at that.

I think the Jags will reload and contend for the AFC South and the Titans are slipping. Not buying the Texans yet. Potentially a wild-card team, but not one that I see as making any noise in the post-season.

So far all I've heard is from a biased media, but the New England Patriots are looking good and getting ready for the coming season. Obviously the dynasty is over (the Ravens saw to that) but they're still going to be a competitive team. Welker is back and looking real good, Brady is itching to get started, but still no mention of a decent pass rush - their Achilles Heel last season, in my opinion. And so it goes!
