All summer long, I've been posting my thoughts and analysis on players, teams and NFL coaches in anticipation of another glorious season. I hit the road for two weeks and logged over 3,000 miles in my car and another 1,500 in the air to bring us all closer to the action.
Now, I want to open up the floor for your thoughts and open a dialogue about the season to come. Ask a question. Give me a prediction on a player or team. Tell me why the the Packers, Jets or Raider will rebound. Or tell me why they won't.
Here are some questions to get us started.
1. Who's your No. 1? Is touchdown king Shaun Alexander the man on top, or does Larry Johnson get the nod despite the retirement of Willie Roaf?
2. Given the loss of Roaf, how much do you devalue Tony Gonzalez? Do you believe that his touchdown total will rebound this season?
3. What do you make of the situation in Oakland? Where do you rank Randy Moss?
4. How early will you take Peyton Manning? And, who's your No. 2 QB? Does Tom Brady drop due to the loss of Deion Branch?
5. What about Terrell Owens? Are you staying away because of his preseason theatrics?
6. All the reports have Michael Vick making a large step forward this year with Roddy White and Michael Jenkins. Are you buying it, or have you moved on from the hype?
7. Does the insertion of Philip Rivers (interception returned for a touchdown against the Bears) cause you to think about dropping Antonio Gates on your cheatsheet? Who would become the No. 1 player at the position if you did?
8. How far do you drop Clinton Portis on your draft sheet after last week's injury?
9. What do you expect from Edgerrin James in the Arizona offense? Can Kurt Warner make it through 16 games, or will we see the rookie Matt Leinart?
10. Insert your comments about Reggie Bush and adjectives to describe his athleticism here.
Those are the starter questions to get the discussion going. Please drop a line and let me know what you're thinking. I'll work to incorporate your comments and questions in a future piece.
