Also the Bengals. Palmer was very good before injury set in and has already started to talk up the season quite a bit. Now Cinci has my favorite defensive player from the draft in Rey-Rey...i would hope Cinci could at least compete in its division now.

I think Grilliams is way over-rated in these parts. He was a terrible head coach in Buffalo, was up and down here (top 10 defenses and 31st ranked also) and was a HUGE bust last year in Jacksonville. We'll see if he can turn the Saints defense into anything. I agree with you on Cincy, they could be in a similar position as us with Lewis and Palmer. Another poor year and they could be ready to move on from both.
