Dirty Dozen: The Six Best and Six Worst Teams in the NFL

Devery HendersonRankings?

If you want REAL rankings, look here: www.nfl.fanhouse.com/standings/.

If you want to have some fun (hopefully), read the rest of this, which at the start of the season is based on two premises:

1. The Super Bowl champion is No. 1 until it proves otherwise. The Saints didn’t prove otherwise on opening night and Reggie Bush giving back the Heisman doesn’t count.

2. They’re for fun (or “entertainment purposes only” as those sheets with the point spread say.) So it’s tempting to dump the Cowboys, Jets, Colts and Chargers at the bottom — the Jets and Cowboys based on their hype (self-generated or otherwise) and the Colts and Chargers based on the way they stunk up Reliant and “New” Arrowhead stadiums.

(“New” seems to be the way to describe a recently constructed or refurbished edifice without naming rights. New Arrowhead is OK; New Meadowlands could be the Big Gray Elephant)

New York Jets 2010 Season Preview: Can Sanchez Succeed as a Sophomore?

Mark Sanchez 2010 New York JetsFanHouse’s 2010 NFL Season Preview features our division-by-division predictions based on our tried and true “Heat Index” formula. Each team is graded on a scale of 1-10 (10 being highest) in five key categories: Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Coaching and Intangibles. The higher the score, the better we think the team will be this season. Coming Aug. 31: NFC East Preview

For a team that was close to the Super Bowl last season, the New York Jets sure made a lot of high-profile additions in the offseason. They added LaDainian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes, Antonio Cromartie and Jason Taylor, in hopes that these veterans will give the Jets the needed spark to get over that last hump and into the league’s title game.

Darrelle Revis Is Right: Jets Should Stand Down, Pay Up

August 10, 2010   Dan Graziano   No comments

Filed under: , , ,

Darrelle Revis is worth what he's asking for, and the Jets should give it to him.Woody Johnson and the Jets are posturing, which is fine. With more than a month left before the season starts, it’s still the time for that. So they posture, and Darrelle Revis postures, and all the while the team’s best player is missing training camp, fans are panicking and HBO is licking its chops over the prospect of unprecedented “Hard Knocks” ratings. Nothing is lost, except the money the Jets can fine Revis every day he doesn’t show up.

Johnson, Rex Ryan and the Jets spent the past couple of days making public proclamations about how ready they were to move on and play the 2010 season without Revis. This is a good tactic, since there’s a chance it scares Revis back to the negotiating table and closer to a deal on the team’s terms.

What it’s not, however, is true. The Jets don’t — can’t possibly — believe they’ll be all right if they have to play this season without Revis. His absence would be devastating, as he himself realizes. And it is for that reason that the Jets should swallow hard and pay him what he wants.

Thomas, a cornerback out of Texas and the No. 14 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, agreed to a five-year deal in Seattle worth $21.1 million, $12.32 of which is guaranteed money.

“Thank u jesus the deal is finally done bout to go sign the paperwork now,” Thomas, who could slide right into the Seahawks’ starting free safety role, wrote on Twitter.

Mocking the Steelers: Three Different Scenarios

April 19, 2010   JJ Cooper   No comments

Filed under: , ,

Kyle WilsonWith the NFL draft now just three days away, it’s time to get serious about who’s going where. My friend Ted Kian has been studying the NFL draft for more than 20 years, and loves putting together scenarios for who the Steelers could pick and which teams could be trading partners. With that in mind, here’s three potential Steelers mock drafts. One involves the Steelers trading down. One involves the Steelers trading up and one has Pittsburgh standing pat.

All picks are based on a general consensus of draft experts ratings and the trades are based on the trade value chart.

MOCK 1: Includes a trade down in the first round and trade-ups in rounds 2 and 4.

Trade (1-18) and (6-188) to Packers for (1-23) and (3-86), as Packers move up to take Mike Iupati or Anthony Davis.

1 (23): Maurkice Pouncey, 6-5, 304, C-G, Florida: Taking Pouncey at 18th overall may be too early, particularly in such a deep draft. If the Steelers stay at 18, CB Kyle Wilson or OG Mike Iupati represent better value. But Pouncey is a more surefire pick than Iupati, who has more boom/bust potential. Kevin Colbert generally likes safer picks in the first round, and Pouncey could start over Trai Essek at RG as a rookie and then settle in at center. Potentially, he could anchor the Steelers’ offensive line for a decade and reignite the Pittsburgh tradition of great center play.

2010 NFL Mock Draft, Fans Pick Edition: No. 18 – Pittsburgh Steelers

April 13, 2010   JJ Cooper   No comments

Filed under: ,

Maurkice PounceyThe voice of the fan matters here at FanHouse, so you are going to collectively stage your own 2010 NFL Mock Draft. Let us know whom the Steelers should take with the No. 18 pick –You’re on the clock.

Until Sunday night, the Steelers were having quite a good offseason when it came to football. There were all kind of problems off the field (Ben Roethlisberger‘s legal concerns, Santonio Holmes‘ renegade Twitter feed), but when it came to the on-the-field product, the Steelers had made several moves to fill holes, add depth and prepare for a run at the Super Bowl.

All of that took a big hit when the Steelers traded Holmes to the Jets for a fifth-round pick. In signing veterans like Antwaan Randle-El, Ryan Clark, Nick Eason and Arnaz Battle, the Steelers were clearly making a run for this year. Now Pittsburgh has taken a step back, but it doesn’t really change the team’s draft needs.
