NFC SOUTH
1.Atlanta Falcons
I feel this Atlanta team has improved quite a bit; Very solid draft add that to getting Future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez at TE. Everybody can agree that The Play of Matt Ryan(the franchise guy) as a rookie last year was incredible(he won ROY) add that to the production of the running game and also can`t forget about the Big fellas down in the trenchs the O line, also his widereceiving core. The Defense was solid last year they made plays when they needed to make them; This Defense also loss their reliable Middle Linebacker Keith Brooking, but they still got younger(by the draft on D) so expect more solid D from this unit. Lastly, I didn`t put Atlanta #1 Because their my team(well maybe I did Kind of??? we will never know) But I think this team is poise to make a big run and we all know about the wacky NFC SOUTH we have different winners each year. So this is their time to be Champions of the NFC SOUTH.
2.Carolina Panthers
This Carolina Panthers team won the NFC SOUTH last year(and was #2 seed in the playoffs);But like i stated before I`m going with history and saying that the Panthers will not win the South. Even with that being said, I still feel this team can still fight for that #1 spot on top of the division; But I just feel this is Atlanta`s year to win the South. This Carolina team still even fallen to #2 in this divison will be a threat so Watch Out; Because this Offense still has a nice looking 1,2 running punch also Steve Smith and other solid receivers, and did I mention a very good QB in Jake Delhomme, also add that to their pattern solid D. This team I see them as #2 in the south, but has a strong possiblity still to be in contention for #1 in the south.
3.New Orleans Saints
The Saints this team really underacheived last year; Due to injuries and other Distractions, also add that to the lack of a running game. This Offense really had nothing to go to when the game was on line besides their passing game. Their Running game took hit because they were really relying on Reggie Bush and Pirere Thomas, and as we all know Reggie`s game is more of making that explosive impact play out on the outsides than pounding the ball insides; also add that to Pieire Thomas who`s strengths was pounding the ball inside but he had to much on his shoulders at the time. But I do think the running game will improve But don`t count on drastic changes. Also their Defense was a bit of a letdown I expect the D to be better. But all the positives really outweighs the negatives with lower expectations; This Offense will be even more explosive with Drew Brees(Enough Said) at the helm again this year and you provide him with a very capable Tight End in Jeremy Shockey SKY`S THE LIMIT WITH THIS OFFENSE. The D added more youth from the Draft and added some pieces in Free Agency so like I said they will be better. This Saints team will be exciting to watch again, but this team still has to improve a whole lot more before they can get to the top of the Division.
4.Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There`s two words to describe this 09 Bucs team:Youth Movement. This team added some real young talented pieces and also had a lot of departures and loss a whole lot of vet experience. But this team simply to me belongs here for 3 simply reasons:1.Alot of youth but they are talented, this team just needs a 2 or 3 years to groom their youngsters. 2.Offense is really suspect this Offense does`nt look like a very good O. 3.Not to sure with the D but also add a New Coach who`s trying to establish a New Culture down in Tampa and this process is looking more like a rebuilding projects should be interesting how it turns out for the Buc`s; But i`m just not high on this team right now. That`s the beauty of Predictions I could be wrong, But this is my anaylsis so Lets Give it Go and see how this race ends up.
