2015 PRESEASON/FINAL CUTS/OUTLOOK

PRESEASON INJURIES OF NOTE
RG Nick Weber, in limited playing time in the first preseason game, gets a torn quad and is going to miss the entire season.

FINAL CUTS

RB Andrew Cobb

RDE Lance Davis

LDE Lamont Fisk

LDT Mike Singleton

NEW STARTERS THIS YEAR

MLB O.J. Barnhill--His ratings say he's ready, but he's replacing a DPOY at the position.

RDE Jared Stephens/RDE Heath Urbanus--They'll basically split time.

RG Shaun McCormick--Injury to Nick Weber thrusts him into the spotlight. Rookie Gabe Lemons may get some time here as well.

C Carlos McCormick--Returns to Atlanta and re-claims his old job.

I'm going to start the season with Hardy Tamm at QB, but this could well be a year of transition. 3rd-year man Malcolm Rasberry has improved each season, and if Tamm falters or we find ourselves out of the playoff picture, Rasberry will step in.

REGULAR SEASON OUTLOOK

POWER RATING: 74. 2nd-best in NFC, behind Seattle (77).
ROSTER: 96. Baltimore is best.

DIVISION RIVALS

(LAST YEAR'S RECORD IN PARENTHESIS)

CAROLINA (11-4-1)--They look pretty solid on both sides of the ball, but not spectacular either. Due mainly to injuries, they'll have three new starters on the o-line in the first part of the season. If they can navigate the early season decently, they should have a shot at another Division Title.

NEW ORLEANS (5-11)--The Aints still look like the worst team in the NFC South.. Their defense is young and improving, though. However, they only have one offensive starter rated 60, or higher--a 60/60 RT. After him, the next-best offensive starter is their 51/53 TE. They're going to have a hard time scoring.

TAMPA BAY (7-9)--As long as Jason Raymond is in Tampa (and his current contract is for 6 more years), the Bucs will be mediocre at worst. He's got a decent-looking rookie wide receiver this year in 1(1) pick Dan Carlisle. Their o-line is adequate. Defensively, they have two star players at LCB and LDT, but then are mediocre or worse elsewhere. Could challenge for a wild-card spot.

DIVISION PREDICTION

Atlanta 10-6

Carolina 10-6 (WC)

Tampa Bay 8-8

New Orleans 4-12
