[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 149942, member: 598"] [b]Packers & Oannes[/b] Yes, the schedule looks tough -- based on last year's standings. But we cannot quite go so far as to assume that we do not have a decent chance against teams that won a lot last year. Free agents move around -- quite often from good teams to weaker teams (except apparently NE). Teams that are weak surprise the next year (New Orleans) and teams expected to be competitive stumble (Carolina). It happens every year. Just starting the season, we have the Eagles who may or may not have McNabb back; the Giants who have defensive issues and, like us, do not know who their running backs will be; and San Diego who lost their HC and both coordinators this offseason. Think of the momentum it would give a young team like ours to upset 2 or 3 of last year's playoff teams right out of the box. It may not be all that likely but could happen. I seriously think that if Harrell is anything close to what everyone that I talk to that watched Tennessee football thinks he is and Rouse can take over for Manuel, we can have a very dominant front seven in Kampman, Harrell, Pickett, Jenkins, Hawk, Barnett, and Poppinga -- allowing the DBs more opportunities to make plays in the secondary. With games run heavy teams like San Diego, KC and Chicago, closing the door on the running game would put us in a very good position to upset. It is not all that hard to see the potential. [/QUOTE]
