gotta say pretty disappointed in the depth chart. Wanted to see Beck Riley and about anybody but Reed D at safety. Woulda been nice to see Hankerson or Armstrong outplaying Gaffney. How come I got this funny feeling Landry not gonna be ready for week 1?

I know its just the first chart, but like its been stated, with the shortened offseason, preseason games alittle more important this year.

Reed D. is a nice backup, why the hate?

yeah hes not bad as a guy who comes in specific packages (goaline, playin up on the line) and a nice special teams player, but hes not an every game starter. I had zero clue Landry would still be hurtin at this point. I really hope LL is gonna be ready.

I think Laron will be fine. He says that the goal was never be ready for preseason, but for 9-11

Reed plays DB the way Rabach played C!

Yeah, that's why he's been through 3 defensive coordinators and has still maintained a position on this team. Apparently he's doing something right.

Reed is a backup, Rabach was the starter, big difference. While in a perfect fantasy world your backups perform the same as your starter, it doesn't happen all the time. Especially when you go from Otogwe or Landry to Doughty. If Doughty was the starter, I could understand the complain, but he's a freaking backup.

Exactly. Reed is one of those guys that when the starter goes down you don't feel the need to freak out. I mean this isn't Madden. We can't just go out and sign Darren Sharper as a backup. On the other hand I heard Sam Shade is available.

I don't think we've passed on Tatupu. But most indications are he's leaning toward the Bears...with the Raiders as a dark horse

This may be the case but we definatley have an offer on the table. It's an offer the Team likes and is good for us. We aren't overpaying anyone anymore so it's up to Lofa .. J Wilson is still working him too

Preseason power rankings -- needless to say, we are buried, 4th worst team in the league ahead of the Panthers, Bills, and Bengals

I think either the Bills or Jaguars will be the surprise team of the AFC. Just can't decide who. Not saying playoffs necessarily, just pleasantly surprising

Buffalo. And by surprise, I mean second in the AFC East.

Jacksonville just doesn't have much talent on their roster. They've won with less, I suppose.

So who do you think takes 1st and 3rd in AFC East?
