Salary cap is still on... I have $48.67 million in cap penalties for next season but I should come off with about $20 million left to fill holes via free agency (low rated roll players) and sign low round draft picks.

Difficulty: Probably All-Pro

And yea anything more than 10 points would be pretty disappointing. My offense might give up more points from turnovers being returned for touchdowns than my defense will.

Please explain the trades you did to get them then cos i don't it's possible without cheating.

The superbly stacked Dline wont be much of a factor due to the game's broken dline/oline play. Ratings mean nothing in the trenches. I've tested this myself.

I would love for Teambuilder to come back after a few games and prove me wrong.

Unfortunately you're right. The only thing I've noticed so far is that because my corners are doing such a stellar job of covering that my D-Line is getting sacks because no one is open. First pre-season game Orakpo had 1, Merriman had 3, and Haynesworth had 1. At least these guys can get to the QB quicker than others. Hopefully patch 2 will improve it though.
