Who are the Pittsburgh Steelers most important departed characters?

Three long-time Pittsburgh Steelers defensive players retired during the offseason, legend in hair and in football, Troy Polamalu, cornerback Ike Taylor, and 27 year-old pass rusher, Jason Worilds who retired for religious reasons.

Who are the Pittsburgh Steelers most important new characters?

The Steelers tried to fill some of the holes of their departing defensive players by drafting a handful of defensive players in the draft. Of them, pass-rusher Alvin Dupree and defensive back, Senquez Golson should begin the year in the starting lineup.

Who are the Pittsburgh Steelers most important characters?

The Steelers start and end with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Giant, raw, and talented in his first few years as a professional, Roethlisberger has evolved into a solid quarterback whose success seems inevitable and effortless. He had two six touchdown games last year for a Steelers team that increasingly relies on the pass to score.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers?

The Steelers need to survive early suspensions to a couple of their most important players: running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Martavis Bryant.

How will the 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers fare?

Without two of their important offensive weapons, the Steelers stumble out of the gate and never quite get it back, just barely missing the playoffs.

10 – 6

Who are the Philadelphia Eagles most important departed characters?

The two biggest names to leave the Eagles during their wild, wacky offseason are the two biggest names from last year’s team: running back Lesean McCoy and quarterback Nick Foles. Both were traded by Chip Kelley, who wields power as head coach and general manager. Some Eagles fans were convinced Nick Foles was going to be great, but more were not. That’s exactly the opposite of McCoy, who most fans loved, and whose departure has left fans shaking their heads.

Who are the Philadelphia Eagles most important new characters?

The Eagles made more high-profile moves this offseason than any team in memory. They brought in the league’s leading rusher, DeMarco Murray, from their arch-rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Along with Murray, they bolstered their running attack with the often injured but always full of potential, Ryan Matthews. As part of their return for sending Lesean McCoy to Buffalo, the Eagles received promising linebacker Kiko Alonso who played under Kelly in college at Oregon. Last but certainly not least, the Eagles received quarterback Sam Bradford from the St. Louis Rams in return for Nick Foles. Phew, it’s exhausting just to list the changes.

Who are the Philadelphia Eagles most important characters?

This season is all about coach and general manager Chip Kelly. No single executive or coach has staked more of his reputation on this season. By making so many high-profile moves, Kelly has put himself in a position to be regarded as a “”football genius”” if things go well, but also likely as “”fired”” if things don’t. Just to add to the pressure a little bit more, Kelly was accused by a couple of his former players of racism against his African-American players.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles?

Is Chip Kelly a genius? An idiot? Just a hologram representing the actions of a hyperactive teenager playing Madden on Franchise mode?

How will the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles fare?

Despite all the changes, the Eagles record will be similar to last year — question is, will it be enough to get by the Cowboys?

3 – 13

Who are the Oakland Raiders most important departed characters?

Just when the Raiders fans could see a slight glimpse of light through the permanent cloud that’s settled over this franchise, the light may have been taken away with the departure of offensive coordinator, Greg Olson. Olson had rookie quarterback Derek Carr looking like a legit NFL player last year. Without Olson, fans are afraid of a JaMarcus Russel-like backslide in Carr’s play this year.

Who are the Oakland Raiders most important new characters?

The single most convincing argument against Carr’s regression is the presence of rookie wide receiver, Amari Cooper. Cooper was drafted fourth overall in this year’s draft by the Raiders. The Alabama receiver won the Beletnikoff award last year for the best college receiver and projects into a very good NFL player who can make an immediate impact. The Raiders also lured center Rodney Hudson away from their division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs. Hudson is in the top-tier of NFL centers and should provide another boost to an offense in need of boosts.

Who are the Oakland Raiders most important characters?

It’s hard to pick out the biggest character on the Raiders. That could be part of what ails this team. Most successful NFL teams have at least one, at most three players who impose their personalities on the team. The Raiders don’t.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Oakland Raiders?

This season is all about quarterback Derek Carr’s development. If, at the end of the season, the team has another 3-13 record but Carr continues to improve, it will be a success. If it’s 8-8 but they’re looking for a new quarterback, that’s bad.

How will the 2015 Oakland Raiders fare?

This Raiders team will lose a lot, but they won’t be as hopeless as previous editions.

Who are the New York Jets most important departed characters?

After six highly entertaining seasons as head coach of the New York Jets, Rex Ryan was fired. For as entertaining as he was, he sure didn’t win a whole lot. Todd Bowles, a defensive coordinator from Arizona, comes in to take over.

Who are the New York Jets most important new characters?

What’s old is new again for the New York Jets. That’s right, Darrelle Revis, drafted by the Jets in 2007, it back with the team after stops in Tampa Bay and most recently, New England. Revis is a dominant, shut-down cornerback. By effectively eliminating one of the opposing team’s wide receivers single-handedly, Revis slants the numbers on the field to the benefit of the defense.

Who are the New York Jets most important characters?

Jets training camp was home to the biggest drama of the season when little known linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali broke starting quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw with a single punch. Enemkpali was cut the next day, Smith is out for 6-8 weeks, and the Jets remain a punchline (pun both intended and unintended.) Ryan Fitzpatrick, the veteran quarterback who last played for the Houston Texans is the beneficiary of this punching arrangement, and he’ll take over as the team’s quarterback for at least the start of the season.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 New York Jets?

How does the QB situation shake out? Can they duct tape average QB play together from a mixture of Fitzpatrick, Smith when he comes back, and whoever else they can shake off of a tree if worst comes to worst?

How will the 2015 New York Jets fare?

With a start to the season like that, it can only get better, right? You obviously have not been watching the Jets lately.

Who are the New York Giants most important departed characters?

Weirdly enough, the Giants will be without at least star defensive end Jason Pierre Paul’s right index finger, which was amputated after a fireworks accident, and possibly all of his talented body. He’s not signed and as of now, it’s unclear when he’ll come in for the physical that the Giants are demanding before they offer him a contract. It’s a strange situation.

Who are the New York Giants most important new characters?

When the New England Patriots decided to move on without Shane Vereen, their pass-catching running back, after their Super Bowl win, the New York Giants snapped him up. He’ll be a good complement to Rashad Jennings, the all-around running back and Andre Williams, the short yardage back. And, given the Giants history of torturing the Patriots, he’ll probably play well.

Who are the New York Giants most important characters?

Odell Beckham Jr. was a revelation last year. Beyond the ridiculous one-handed catch he made, which led every highlight video for the rest of the year, Beckham simply seemed open on every play. We didn’t get a long sample size, but from what we did see, he seems faster, quicker, more precise, more sure-handed, and more dynamic than every other receiver in the league.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 New York Giants?

Beckham is a tempest but he’s the size of a teapot. Is he as fragile as one? If so, the Giants season is going nowhere.

How will the 2015 New York Giants fare?

You never root for injuries, definitely not to players as exciting as Beckham, but I don’t see him lasting the year. Without him, the Giants will still struggle to 9-7 and a possible Wild Card berth.

Who are the New Orleans Saints most important departed characters?

All Pro, All World, possibly even All Time great tight end Jimmy Graham is no longer with the Saints. You could see this split coming after a divisive fight between Graham and the team last offseason when he demanded to be paid as a wide receiver and they insisted he be treated in salary arbitration as a less valuable tight end. Graham played poorly for him last year and the Saints decided to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks for offensive lineman Max Unger and a first round pick. The Saints also made a slew of other moves, mostly because they are in a tight spot salary-cap wise. Junior Galette, the talented defensive linemen was also released following a disturbing domestic violence charge.

Who are the New Orleans Saints most important new characters?

C. J. Spiller, who has played like a bust for 95% of his career and like the best running back to ever play football for the other 5% was brought in to replace Pierre Thomas and Travid Cadet. He’ll split carries with the resurgent Mark Ingram. If he can stay healthy, Drew Brees is likely to be able to utilize him in the passing game more effectively than any of the bum quarterbacks he played with in Buffalo were able to.

Who are the New Orleans Saints most important characters?

Quarterback Drew Brees is and has been the biggest story in town since he arrived in the season after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. After two subpar seasons and at age 36, naysayers are beginning to assume that his days as an elite quarterback are over. Twice could be a coincidence but three bad seasons in a row would be the trend that leads Brees out of the league. New Orlean fans hope this isn’t the case for their beloved quarterback.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 New Orleans Saints?

Was last season the beginning of the end of Brees as a top-flight QB? Or just a blip? Despite an improved running game, the Saints can’t win without Brees firing on all cylinders.

How will the 2015 New Orleans Saints fare?

Let’s give the Saints the benefit of the doubt here. It’s hard to calculate the cost of having a star player like Jimmy Graham malingering, but figure it’s at least one win/loss. That would make the Saints 8-8 this year and that feels about right.

Expressed as: wins – losses – ties (if any).

12 – 4

Who are the New England Patriots most important departed characters?

Two key players on defense, one a supremely talented hired gun, the other the long-time heart of the Patriots defense are gone. The heart, defensive tackle, Vince Wilfork is now a Houston Texan. The hired gun, conrenback Darrelle Revis, moved back to his original team, the New York Jets. Both will be hard to replace, but the Patriots are used to replaceing the hard-to-replace player.

Who are the New England Patriots most important new characters?

The team drafted Malcolm Brown, a defensive tackle from Texas to replace Vince Wilfork. He’ll have his hands full.

Who are the New England Patriots most important characters?

Coach Bill Bellichick and quarterback Tom Brady have been together since 2000 and they’ve been the two most interesting characters on the team (and perhaps in all of football) since then. Never before has their relationship seemed as strained as it does these days. Bellichick didn’t exactly come to Brady’s defense last spring during the Deflategate controversy, nor does it seem like Brady’s desire to play into his mid 40s will mesh well with Bellichick’s plans. That said, winning heals a lot of wounds and they’ve won four Super Bowls together. That’s a lot of healing.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 New England Patriots?

The most important thing for the Patriots this season is not actually the Brady ruling — it’s how well Bellichick can heal the defense from the loss of its two (or more) biggest players. Brady may miss up to four games because of an NFL suspension for his part in the Deflategate controversy, but at age 38, missing the first four games could be a blessing in disguise.

How will the 2015 New England Patriots fare?

Until they don’t do it, you’ve got to assumre they will. Put the division title in the bag.

Who are the Minnesota Vikings most important departed characters?

The Vikings entered last season not 100% sure who would start at quarterback, rookie Teddy Bridgewater or journeymen Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder. Bridgewater quickly made that debate moot by playing early, often, and well. This year, the team symbolized its commitment to their young quarterback by letting the other two options walk in free agency.

Who are the Minnesota Vikings most important new characters?

The Vikings added the top rated cornerback in this year’s draft class, Trae Waynes. Although the Vikings say he may not have a starting role this year, it’s easy to ignore them given their similar threat/promise and failure to follow through with Bridgewater last year. Waynes should be a good addition to an up and coming defense.

Who are the Minnesota Vikings most important characters?

It’s hard to find a character in the NFL bigger than running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson missed all but one game last year due to a series of confusing suspensions and commissioners list exemptions. Peterson was accused of child abuse after photos of his extremely young son’s wounded legs surfaced. Peterson’s defense throughout has been that, although he might have beaten his son slightly too hard, his intent and actions fall within what is legitimate for a parent. He came close to moving to another team this summer but is back with the Vikings this year. It’s a difficult dilemma for Vikings fans to find themselves in. Many of them don’t approve of Peterson’s actions off the field but still want him to succeed on the field.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Minnesota Vikings?

The Vikings look ironclad on paper, but it’s not clear how a 30 year-old running back who hasn’t played football in a year will respond to being put back on the field. Given that it’s Adrian F. Peterson, the answer is almost definitely going to be “”extremely well”” but time will tell.

How will the 2015 Minnesota Vikings fare?

The Vikings should threaten the Packers for the division championship and won’t surprise anyone if they win it.

Who are the Miami Dolphins most important departed characters?

The Dolphins lost many of the names from last year’s offense, which may hurt in total even if none of the pieces are individually that important. Running back Knowshown Moreno, tight end Charles Clay, and wide receivers Mike Wallas, Brandon Gibson, and Brian Hartline are all on new teams.

Who are the Miami Dolphins most important new characters?

The Dolphins made the biggest splash this offseason by signing NFL bad-boy Ndomukong Suh from the Detroit Lions. Suh’s giant new contract puts the pressure firmly on him to prove that the Dolphins made a good decision. He’ll certainly feast in-division on whichever mediocre quarterbacks the Jets and Bills throw onto the field. The Patriots and Tom Brady will be a bigger challenge.

Who are the Miami Dolphins most important characters?

Suh is definitely the biggest character. He’s known for his violent offenses ON the football field. The Dolphins 2013 season fractured thanks to an off-the-field scandal involving some players harrassing a teammate. You might think they’d be hesitant to bring Suh in, but he’s never been reported to be anything other than a great teammate and person off the field.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Miami Dolphins?

The thing that’s keeping Dolphins fans on the edge of their seat is the continued developement of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. This will be Tannehill’s fourth season as the Dolphins starter. So far, he hasn’t missed a game and has improved each year. Now, he started out pretty weak, but with all the improvement, he’s starting to flirt with actual quarterback goodness. If he gets there this year, the Dolphins will succeed.

How will the 2015 Miami Dolphins fare?

Until Bill Bellichick and Tom Brady are dead and buried (football-wise, of course) it’s hard to imagine the Dolphins winning the AFC East. A wildcard spot wouldn’t be a total shock though.

Who are the Kansas City Chiefs most important new characters?

Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin comes in from Philadelphia to solidify a Chiefs receiving core that didn’t score a single touchdown last year. Sometimes considered to be injury prone, Maclin is a firecracker when he’s on the field and able.

Who are the Kansas City Chiefs most important characters?

Maclin will join former Philadelphia Eagles coach, Andy Reid, in Kansas City. Reid has coached the Chiefs the last two years with his signature style that involves being really, really good at everything except for clock management and goal line plays.

What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Kansas City Chiefs?

Quarterback Alex Smith is seen as this team’s limiting factor. Critics suggest that his limited arm strength make it impossible for him to ever lead this team beyond the first round of the playoffs. Is it possible that better receiving weapons will prove that wrong?

How will the 2015 Kansas City Chiefs fare?

The Chiefs take a step back this year. Something like 7-9 seems more likely than last year’s 9-7.
