			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peyton Manning has already talked about how he doesn&#8217;t like everything being so disorganized in the organization.  Tony Dungy was everything to this Colts team and you can tell that when Peyton Manning is talking about him.</p>
<p>Now the Colts and Peyton Manning have to deal with the fact that they&#8217;re going to have a new coach and things are going to be ran differently.  They will have a new offense of coordinator and a defense of coordinator.  Things will be different but the way Peyton Manning has been able to run the offense the past few years shouldn&#8217;t change.</p>
<p>The offense should have everyone they need to be explosive this year.  They did lose Marvin Harrison but he hasn&#8217;t been a huge factor the past couple years.  He had lost a lot of the speed he had to get downfield fast.</p>
<p>That is really all they have lost on offense.  The defense might change a lot considering there isn&#8217;t going to be much cover 2.  The defense is going to change and as long as Sanders can change with it, they should be fine.</p>
<p>However, they have been building that defense to be mostly speed for the cover 2.  The speed might not work out in a new system especially if they are needing more physical players.  Tony was really good at teaching the cover 2 so we&#8217;ll see if the new coaches are as good at teaching their defense.</p>
<p>This year should be pretty good for the Indianapolis Colts.  The offense should have no problems scoring as long as there line can hold up.  If not, it could be a really long season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New England Patriots were phenomenal a couple years ago and they were pretty darn good last year without Tom Brady.  It looks as if they are going to be phenomenal again unless Tom Brady&#8217;s knee isn&#8217;t so nice.</p>
<p>The Patriots offense is looking better then ever and they have all sorts of firepower.  They were able to add Joey Galloway and Fred Taylor. Put that with what they already have and it looks pretty scary.  </p>
<p>The defenses are going to have to deal with the four pack running back and Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Lawrence, and Kevin Faulk. They should all be able to stay pretty fresh throughout a whole game. We know they can get injured easy, so the Patriots will be happy to have all for them.</p>
<p>If the running backs aren&#8217;t enough, they will also have three wide receivers threats. Joey Galloway, Wes Welker, and Randy Moss will all be hard the cover. You will also have Kevin Faulk in the backfield who is a pretty good receiver himself.  It is going to be pretty hard to double any one of them.  You&#8217;re really going to have to pick your poison. </p>
<p>The tight ends should see many many passes coming their way also.  When you have to worry about all those good receivers and Kevin Faulk, it will lead to wide-open tight ends. They picked up a couple of good tight ends that are good at run blocking and they also have Ben Watson who has great hands.</p>
<p>The offense of line is getting a little older and they had injury problems last year. However, the backups did just fine and if they were not able to block too well there were wide-open receivers, tight end, and running backs to throw to. </p>
<p>The New England Patriots offense should look pretty darn good this year as long as they stay healthy. As long as their defense can hold other teams under 20 points every game it should be a victory for the Patriots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.nfltraderumors.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/rex-ryan-jets.gif" alt="rex-ryan-jets" title="rex-ryan-jets" width="507" height="176" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-282" /></p>
<p>I believe the New York Jets defense should be pretty good this year with the players they have.  It should only make the defense better now that Rex Ryan is the head coach and should influence what the defense runs.  The Baltimore Ravens were one of the best defenses in the past decade.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if Ryan was a great defensive coordinator, or if you just had great players.  Most the players that played for him and Baltimore had not even been on another team.  He&#8217;s definitely not to have a player and leader like Ray Lewis.  And he won&#8217;t have someone that is a game changer like Ed Reed.</p>
<p>The good thing is, he has good players on his defense already.  It does help that he was able to bring in someone like Bart Scott who played for him in Baltimore the past few years.  I&#8217;m not sure what kind of players you&#8217;ll be without Terrel Suggs and Ray Lewis, but he should be able to beat the defense.</p>
<p>Rex Ryan will also have Shaun Ellis and Kerry Rhodes have been proven to be reliable.  They have been putting good stats up over the years and they should flourish in Ryan&#8217;s system.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see that the Ravens didn&#8217;t try harder to keep Jim Leonhard. He was almost cut before last season but good thing they did not cut him because he played phenomenal. He is only 5&#8242;8&#8243; tall, but he can tackle well and hit hard. Ryan liked him enough to bring him in to New York. He is definitely hoping he can be the player he was last year.</p>
<p>The defense definitely looks good for the New York Jets and Rex Ryan next year. I think the players can grab on to his system they will flourish.  They will definitely need to find a leader on the defensive of end though. Without a leader, a defense might never live up to what it should be. </p>

During the offseason program this spring he watched his weight tick up, pound by pound, until it reached 217. Phillips, who usually has trouble putting on weight, changed nothing about his diet or workout regimen. All the added weight was muscle, not fat, so the reason for the increased mass is still unclear.</a></p>
