I cant figure out if he's any good, but he looks like a crazed animal when he's in there. He's huge.

he's a good sub player, but not a good starter.

I wonder how they graded them. Did they really watch the tapes of all of the games and focus on the DTs' play ?

I re-adjusted the grading scale to reflect a more realistic A-F system. I didnt do it scientifically, but visually, so forgive my estimation. But the lowest grade is a C-. I couldnt have that.

NFC
Panthers - A- (A-,B+)
Bears - A- (A-,B+)
Lions - B+ (B-)
Vikings - B+ (B-)
Redskins - B+ (B-)
Cardinals - B (C)
Eagles - B (C)
49ers - B (C)
Seahawks - B (C)
Green Bay - B- (C-,D+)
Rams - B- (C-,D+)
Tampa Bay - B- (C-,D+)
Falcons - C+ (D)
Cowboys - C (F)
Saints - C (F)
Giants - C- (F)

I tell ya with lightweights Mike Patterson and Brodrick Bunkley at DT, Jeremiah Trotter is in for a fun year. The Eagles are banking on having an early lead and not getting run at ever. They are built to beat up on passing teams, and are vulnerable to strong running games.

Reid believes he can get his defense that lead. I guess no one told him that his offense is a joke.

Joe Saleve'a could be the league's most underrated player...now that Cooley is getting some love.
