The Mike Shanaplan

[Monkeydad]

Worst team ever? Worse than last year?

Not a chance for either.


Our defense is going to be one of the better in the league I predict. The first year of a 3-4 transition is usually ugly.

We drafted some key pieces, picked up others from FA (O.J. Atogwe). We reinforced the CB spot in the draft but I still expect us to make a run at Nnamdi.

Here's my predicted D depth chart:

DEs - Carricker, Alexander/Holliday
NT - A. Bryant/Jenkins
OLBs - Orakpo, Kerrigan
ILBs - Fletcher, Blades/Riley
CB - Hall, Asomugha (if not, Buchanon/B. Thompson)
SS - Landry
FS - Otogwe


That's a solid D to me. If we can get Nnamdi Asomugha, this WILL be the best secondaries not only in the league now, perhaps ever. Hall, Nnamdi, Landry and Atogwe? That's a Madden roster!


On offense, our WR is deep now, as is RB. We just need some FA O-linemen and any QB should have plenty of options and success. I say 8-8 minimum is our record. The middle of the schedule has a nice winning streak set up for us, but it's a tough last month of the season. Thankfully, the Giants' collapse will be going strong.
