Good question.

But strictly going by who makes the plays and where they are on the field I would wish it to be the lineman.

There are a lot of players missing on both teams but a few units were complete.

For example, it looks like we torched NE's secondary and I'm pretty sure they were fully stocked out there. Good sign.

New England has no pass rush, so I would definitely believe this.





You mean the team that finished second in sacks last year during the regular season?

Yep, NE had their starting secondary out there.

Losing Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich is big, right? Plus Dominique Easley... I saw that RN might only be out the first month, versus a whole year for the typical triceps tear.

I think New Orleans' passing attack will be good like always. They offset pass rusher with quick passes like New England does. I think they will have more weapons in 2016 with Mike Thomas and Colby Fleener in the mix.

Nink is huge, but it doesn't seem that serious. Worst case senerio is reserve PUP which is missing the first 6 games

Jones is great but they atleast had a plan in place to replace him. Jabaal Sheard is ready to explode into the scene this year in a full time role imo. Also got a lot of young talented guys like Flowers ready to contribute as well as Chris Long in the rotation

And depth at DT is pretty good, everyone is buzzing about Micheal Brown (former first rounder out of Texas) as a guy ready to make a leap, Alan Branch is solid depth, and Terrance Knighton can be a good run stuffer in this league and always has been, you should know that first hand.

Add in the best inside linebacker duo in the game and I think we'll be alright.

Saying we have NO PASS RUSH is just ignorant. Stick to hyping up Mark Sanchez and telling yourself it'll all go your way again

And you stick to telling yourself Denver only won by miracles, luck and "all things going their way" last year.

Every championship team has something bounce their way. Denver won games by forcing turnovers. Deal with it.

Easley's biggest issue is health, and he's not even on the team anymore. He's always been like Fairley though, can generate pressure but he's not going to be the finishing touch.

Chandler Jones is huge, but us missing Armstead negates that considering Armstead and Jones would have cancelled each other out.

Ninkovich is also on a decline in terms of production and he's not a GREAT pass rusher by any means, he's above average at best. If anything Jabaal Sheard is the guy I'd look at most and I didn't even hear anything about him.

The only thing that matters is that the Broncos are the defending Super Bowl Champions

It's a good thing they put the UPS shipments in his wife's name. That's proof!

"I didn't really realize it was Tom Brady until after, when somebody told me, 'You just picked off a four-time Super Bowl champion.' And then it kind of sunk in a little bit," Rankins said.

Rankins didn't realize it was Tom Brady. It was an easy mistake.
