anyone ran into any early seasoni defense rankings ...

I know with the draft and still a couple free agents out there ...its hard to rank a fickle defense ....

but ... if anyone has seen any rankings .. coudl you guide me there

 
Here is a glimps of my preseason sneak preview. haha

Chicago

New York Giants

Pittsburgh

Carolina

Dallas

Minnesota

Buffalo

Jacksonville

Seattle

Miami

Cincinnati

Washington

Denver

Tampa Bay

Indianapolis

Baltimore

Cleveland

Green Bay

 
If you can, I think you should wait until after the draft and June 1st cuts, can be factored into D rankings.

Otherwise just go with last years rankings, factor in the FA moves thus far, schedule & tweak accordingly.

 
thats exactly what i did. but keep in mind I don;t think I play in any two leagues with same exact defense scoreing. so it needs tweaked from league to league depending on how your league scores defenses.

Seems awfully high for the NY Giants defense. They have an especially tough schedule. Although Osi and Strahan were quite impressive last year.

good start...(Redskins should be higher than miami, cincy, seattle and minnesota without a doubt!)I'd also put Cleveland up a bit, Browns defense was making strides they could be a force with the players they've signed and with their high draft position ( AJ Hawk?)you never know..they have the best defensive minded HC in the game, Romeo Crennel..

how you could put Minny up so high is beyond me! lol..that's one of the worst defenses you're ever going to find..lets be real, they played the offensively challenged NFC North for 6 games last year...Favre and his 29 ints, Grossman being lousy , Orton being Orton, and of course Joey H doing what Joey H does best: throwing balls to the other team...I don't think Minnesota Vikings and the words 'good defense' should be used in the same sentence in the modern era of the NFL..lol

Seattle probably doesn't belong on this list..some 2005/2006 opponents SF 2x, St Lou 2x, Az...not exactly the best offenses in the NFL..Seattle makes the list by default...

 
I think Minnesota is gonna be really good this year. Other than that, I haven't thought about it much.
I think their LBs are in too much disarray to get a good read on how they'll do this year. I do like the DB/DL units, however.
