Ranking The Defenses

Here's my rankings for the 2007 defenses, and no #1 will not be the Bears!

1)New England Patriots - With Adalius Thomas, they'll be dangerous
2)Baltimore Ravens- Same defense, just no Thomas...not a huge blow
3)Green Bay Packers- Keeping all of their starters, AJ Hawk will be huge this year
4)Chicago Bears- Sent away Chris Harris, no Tank Johnson, but did get Archuleta
5)San Diego Chargers- 61 sacks last year! Merriman better not get caught!
6)Carolina Panthers- Great at getting shut outs, dominating D-Line
7)Atlanta Falcons- They'll be on the field a lot with the offense they have!
8)Philadelphia Eagles- With Takeo Spikes, they have 4 potential pro-bowlers...deadly
9)Dallas Cowboys- Added Greg Ellis, Tony Spencer, great linebacker corps.
10)Denver Broncos- Yes they have the best cornerbacks, but the line isn't great
11)Jacksonville Jaguars- If healthy, the defense will be top five
12)Seattle Seahawks- Again, If healthy the defense will be top ten
13)Cincinnati Bengals- Lots of interceptions,sacks, hope no one gets arrested!
14)Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Easy schedule against bad offenses...could be good??
15)Oakland Raiders- Still have Warren Sapp, and they get tons of sacks
16)Pittsburgh Steelers- No more Joey Porter, and the D-Line is ineffective
17)Miami Dolphins- With Joey Porter they'll be better, tons of sacks, bad secondary
18)St.Louis Rams- Leonard Little, Tye Hill...this could end up being a great D.
19)Arizona Cardinals- Still a mess, but the secondary is getting better
20)New Orleans Saints- Nothing special, but put up decent numbers
21)Cleveland Browns- Really not good, but better than all of the other defenses left
22)New York Giants- Strahan's upset, the defense is very inconsistent...
23)New York Jets- Again, like the Giants very inconsistent...bad secondary
24)Kansas City Chiefs- Two rookie defensive tackles will be a weak point
25)Minnesota Vikings- Great at stopping the rush, but worst in the league at pass D.
26)Tennessee Titans- No Pacman, no sacks...pass them up
27)Washington Redskins- Traded Archuleta after one bad season, nothing good at all
28)Buffalo Bills- Solid D, but doesn't put up fantasy numbers
29)Detroit Lions- Traded DRE BLY the only good player on their defense!
30)San Francisco 49ers- Secondary is better, but its still an awful defense
31)Indianapolis Colts- Let their already bad defense get worse during the offseason.
32)Houston Texans- I didn't know they had a defense!

Tomorrow will be my first power rankings for the 2007-08 NFL season!
