And tackle Bryant McKinnie busted out last season and was just as worthy of a pro-bowl spot at tackle as Randy Thomas was at guard. That line is pretty scary. Our defensive line is pretty good, but we're going to have our hands full up front.

At WR, Troy Williamson's speed scares me. He got deep several times in the preseason, so Kenny Wright and Carlos Rogers are going to need to be on their toes.

Throw in Brad Johnson and you have a QB who knows how to manage a game and make just enough plays when it counts (sound familiar? he's a lot like Brunell).

Can't underestimate these guys. They went 9-7 last year for a reason.

Yes, and that reason is because they played the Packers and Lions TWICE.

I'm not underestimating them, I just couldn't resist. I think if we can shut down their running game, they'll be fine. Without a legitimate receiving threat, Taylor can help with Williamson over the top.
