Who's your surprise team in '10?

and the blitzing has become less predictable and more effective.

This is the big thing. Last year when you watched you could always tell when and where a blitz was coming from. If fans watching on TV can pick that out you can be sure Favre, Warner and Roethlisberger are going to figure it out. So they knew when and where the blitz was coming so they could burn us then or we wouldn't send anyone and they would have a ton of time to throw and have their recievers get open. That has rarely happened this year.

i knew about many of the teams like greenbay. ravens. even chicago. but the rams were kind of a surprise.

Question is in the title. I think that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to surprise a few people this year. It's Coach Haley's third year with the team and they have good corrdinaters. Thomas Jones will have an impact season. I am no fan of Cassel but he will do an adequate job of running the offense. And the defense I believe will finally mesh, they have some good talent on the D side of the ball with Berry and Johnson, and this is the year for the LSU boys to prove their worth.

What teams do you think will surprise?

I like the Chiefs to be a bit better too but I think a less apparent one for me is the Atlanta Falcons. They kinda had a sophomore slump last year. I like what they have in Matt Ryan, an elite running back in Michael Turner, decent recievers and a defense that is young... but I think they could hit their stride.

Well they won 11 games in '08 and would have won at least 11 games in '09 if not for Turner's injury. It was a safe bet that they'd have another good year, but I appreciate your faith either way. Hopefully they're ready to win a playoff game.
