New Orleans Saints Look to Plug the Holes in Defence
To me the Saints were one of the most exciting teams to watch last season. Going forward they were fantastic, but they always struggled in defence.
This year they have taken steps to tighten things up by taking on former Jaguars defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Williams’ input on turnover strategy could turn things around for the Saints…
Defensive Ends Will Smith and Charles Grant have both now overcome the injuries that they picked up last season and are ready to return. This combined with all four of their draft picks being defensive players signals that they are taking this very seriously.
I will be hoping that the Saints can make their way to the play-offs. I really think they will be starting with a team that can do it. Most of all though I am excited about watching them play again.

Special Report from Joshua Modaberi: After seven months away the NFL was back last night with the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings in a repeat of last years NFC Championship match. The Saints came out on top in that encounter which they won in overtime 31-28. New Orleans then went on to win

No, that’s not a snapcount. It’s a countdown to some key dates in the forthcoming NFL season. In thirteen days the Bengals face the Cowboys in the Hall of Fame game. It’ll be the first chance to get a look at Dez Bryant, Jermaine Gresham and the other rookies. Antonio Bryant in a Bengals uniform
First Look 2010… NFC South

The run that the Saints went on took us by surprise. Indeed, from the pre- and off-season Graham and I both fancied the Panthers to be the err, big dogs of the division. As it happened, they were pussycats and the Saints went marching on and it’s now history. But enough of me murdering metaphors…

A great night of football last night! It was a shame about the Gampass problems (for those that use it), lets hope they get it right for next week and give everybody some kind of compensation. Philadelphia Eagles Donovan McNabb suffered a broken rib during the game against Carolina. It is not yet known how

As we mentioned before, we’re keeping an eye on what’s happening in the pre-season. In case there’s anything that will affect our predictions for the 12 post-season teams (coming soon!) Well, there have been a whole load of injuries… here are just some that could have wider impact. Note that this update does not cover

Favourite Four: Defensive Linemen #2 – Will Smith
about 2 years ago - 3 comments
Continuing our series to look at our favourite players in each position, we take a look at our second favourite of the defensive line.
We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest fantasy foootball upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.
Number 2 in our list is Will Smith.
Favourite Four: Defensive Linemen #1 – Renaldo Wynn

Renaldo Wynn – Defensive End, Washington Redskins
I should come straight out and say that this pick has nothing to do with his footballing prowess. Wynn remains a servicable Defensive End, though aging. Back now in his second stint as a Redskin, he’ll probably be a backup to the starters.

First Look… NFC South

On paper the NFC South has the toughest schedule of any division. They’re matched against the ever-tough NFC East and the AFC East who all (well, nearly all) had really good 2008 seasons. Whilst the schedule strength is measured against last year’s performance, it’s still an indicator worth paying attention to.
