NFL 06 Options

Wellllllllllllllllllll here we go again! It's coming up on NFL season soon and the exhibition games are starting soon. What are are your predictions for this season? Your favorite players? Your views are certain teams this year?

I'm not much of an Oakland fan, but the Raider pass offense is looking pretty hot this year with Jerry Porter and Randy Moss partnered together.

The Steelers are looking pretty good this year as well, adding Heath Miller as a tight end who will probably be starting this year.

It's looking like a great year for football with all the teams flushed with new talent, Mike Williams, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, Braylon Edwards, Heath Miller, Reggie White, JJ Arrington. Man, I can't wait for the season to start.

Well, after about an hour of looking up last years Browns and Dolphins statistics, my conclusion is: although Miami beat them, along with New England, Cleveland still seems to have better statistics. I wouldn't be irked about it though, Miami chose Ronnie Brown who as far as I know, still has not signed with them. He probably won't be a starter straight off the bat anyway. Ricky Williams', Miami's premiere Running Back, has also just returned, and although he is suspended from the first 4 regular season games, he should still be in good enough shape to compete for the starting position (even though he rushed for just 8 yards with 4 carries in the Hall of Fame Game against Chicago).

If Trent Dilfer can improve his accuracy and arm strength, with Braylon Edwards as a deep threat, Cleveland should have a relatively improved year. I'd say Cleveland will get around a 7-9 record this year, but like I said previously, this team is just going to keep improving.

And yeah, finally someone who is interested in discussing football (consistently at least)!
