Fret not, football fans. Sure, the games are over but the NFL now is a year-round pastime. There's almost as much intrigue from February to June as there is from July to January. Here are ten things that could happen in the coming months:
1. Defensive linemen will cash in

The success of the New York Giants confirmed that one of the most critical components of a successful NFL team is an overpowering defensive line. Having four men who can pressure quarterbacks without blitz help allows the other seven defenders to cover the five (at most) eligible receivers.  read more »

Outplayed, Outcoached in SB XLII
Patriots Pursuit of Perfection Falls One Game Short

Asante Samuel dropped a Super Bowl-clinching interception. Ellis Hobbs fell down on the Giants' winning touchdown. Matt Light false started .. twice. Laurence Maroney ran backwards on kickoff returns .. twice. The pass blockers missed countless assignments. Tom Brady threw several bad passes. Jarvis Green let Eli Manning escape his grasp.

This is a very increasingly difficult period, I think, for teams to acquire free agents, because we all have cap room and needs at certain key, premium positions, like cornerback. (President) Joe Banner and (Vice President of Football Administration) Howie Roseman on behalf of the Eagles, and Alonzo Shavers on behalf of Asante (had) completely professional negotiations.

I Think Asante Samuel Will Have A Fantastic Year With The Eagles And I Love Asante Samuel And The Way He Plays.

There’s a Cold War a-brewing in the NFC East. The fifty year conflict between the US and the USSR was characterized by move and counter-move in the ability to prevail in conflict.
