Rising Up, Falling Down.....

Which team in the NFL do you think is on the rise. Likewise, which team do you think is going to start falling.

For me I think the Dolphins are on the rise. They surprised everyone last year by making an appearance in the playoffs. They just need to tweak their defense a little and they could be there again next season.

I think the Cardinals are going to be the ones starting to fall next season. They lost both of their coordinators and lost several key players on their defensive line. It is also unkown if Boldin will be returning next season.

you're probably right.

i don't see the cards being the top of their division next year or having a better record.

the dolphins....they could definitely give the pats a run for their money next year. it won't be pretty but they have room to climb.

i think the Dolphins have the toughest schedule in the league next year..and that wildcat will not be a suprise any more.i think they will be around 9-7 or 10-6

i hate to say it but i think the pats are on the rise..they have i think 4 drafts pick in the first 2 rounds and they get brady back..

i think KC is on the rise too and the lions since there is nowere to go up for them.

ima have to agree with u, the dolphins had a pretty easy schedule coming off a 1-15 season, and then kinda had the suprise factor goin for them too with the whole wild cat thing. i thnk there still a playoff team but will prob have to battle for the last wild card spot

Teams on the rise:

AFC Houston Texans - Defense is finally coming around. The offense seems to be hitting it stride both in the passing and running games. If they can add a power runner behind Slaton then they are set.

Other consideration - New England Patriots, New York Jets, Denver Broncos

NFC San Fransisco 49er's - There are a lot of question marks for this team heading into the next season but what I like about them is the division they play in and their head coach.

Other consideration - New Orleans Saints, Greenbay Packers, Washington Redskins

Teams on the fall:

AFC Miami Dolphins - This team might actually get better from last season but their division and their schedule is going to hurt them big time.

Other consideration - Baltimore Ravens, Tennesee Titians, Indiappolas Colts

NFC Arizona Cardnials - If for no other reason than the curse of the Super Bowl losers is going to catch up with them. It's hard to give a team that went 9-7 during the regular season a lot of hope going into the next season no matter how they played in the post season.

Other consideration - Carolina Panthers, Philidilphia Eagles, Minnasota Vikings

I hate to say it but I think the falcons are on the rise.

As much as I made fun of their fatty #90, his loss is a big one and will make it easier to run up the middle. So while Ryan is good, I have serious questions about their D.

Plus their fans are all unemployed/unemployable. Their fans are the only people that could not even get a job at Burger King.

on the fall - Giants, Dolphins, Falcon's , Cardinals.

On the Rise - Pats, KC, Detroit, Saints, (Sea Hawks, because they win that crappy division next year)

Carolina is kinda like Pitt right now, just being themselves. staying steady.

i disagree there the giants DEF next year will be very good and there running game is nice i think we will see a rise in them next year.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
