PFF Preview 2011 – Tennessee Titans
After the way they started last year you figured that the Tennessee Titans were for real. However with all of Vince Young’s dramas, a host of injuries on their defensive line and some sub-standard play on the offensive line, things nosedived quickly. The end result? A new Head Coach, a new starting quarterback and a new [...]
PFF Preview 2011 – Washington Redskins
Year two of the Mike Shanahan era in Washington is ready to roll and Shanahan has spent another off-season re-tooling it to his liking.

PFF Preview 2011 – St Louis Rams
From 1-15 to 7-9, the Rams couldn’t have been more of a surprise in 2010.

There’s no doubt they took advantage of one of the easiest schedules the NFL had to offer and [...]
PFF Preview 2011 – Seattle Seahawks

Last year this tradition was broken as San Diego missed the playoffs altogether. . Now they’re poised to erase 2010’s mistakes, return to the playoffs, and make a serious run at a title. [...]
PFF Preview 2011 – Philadelphia Eagles
There’ve been a lot of changes since the Eagles lost the wildcard game to the Packers back in January. Eagles fans will be happy that the trio of Max Jean-Gilles, Nick Cole and Reggie Wells are no longer rotating at right guard. There were more significant losses on defense, however, as Brodrick Bunkley, Stewart Bradley [...]
PFF Preview 2011 – Oakland Raiders
The 2010 season for the Oakland Raiders was just a bit out of balance. A strong showing in the run game wasn’t enough to offset their questionable passing offense. Highlight defensive moments couldn’t hide the porous run D. Their record took a leap upward to an even 8-8 and promising young players emerged, but nonetheless, [...]
