Short preseason notes on all 32 teams:

1. New England Patriots – Brady should be back running the offensive show for Week 1.
2. Dallas Cowboys – Romo and Co. are back to redeem early 2008 playoff exit.
3. Indianapolis Colts – Manning cleared to practice, may take time to get going in ’08.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars – Great rushing attack with the underrated Garrard
5. San Diego Chargers – Merriman injury big blow to Super Bowl contenders.
6. Minnesota Vikings – Could emerge as legit Super Bowl contenders depending on the play of Tarvaris Jackson
7. Pittsburgh Steelers – Returning Big Ben and leagues number one “D”
8. New York Giants – Defending champs want to show ’08 was no fluke; loss of Umenyiora could eventually cripple defense
9. Seattle Seahawks – Julius Jones addition could be great; a team no one is talking much about
10. Cleveland Browns – Need Anderson to return to Pro-Bowl form
11. Green Bay Packers – Great overall team around new QB Rogers, so it’s all on him
12. Philadelphia Eagles – Westbrook is one of the games great all-purpose backs; McNabb appears healthy
13. Tennessee Titans – Can Vince improve after disappointing season?
14. Houston Texans – Need Matt Schaub to play well
15. New Orleans Saints – Brees needs to cut down on the INT’s; Reggie Bush needs to become a player worthy of the #2 overall pick
16. Arizona Cardinals – Old man Warner will lead team while pretty boy Leinart waits in the wings
17. Washington Redskins – Does Zorn have something special brewing?
18. Denver Broncos – Have to get the zone rushing attack going early and Cutler needs to show his mettle
19. New York Jets – Adding future Hall-of-Fame QB Brett Favre helps the Jets jump 12 spots on our list
20. Cincinnati Bengals – Need to find another receiver; tried to trade Rudi Johnson, didn’t work out, so they cut him
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Need defense to play fast
22. Carolina Panthers – Could have nice rushing attack with Williams and Stewart
23. Detroit Lions – Two words: Fire Millen
24. Buffalo Bills – Some believe they could emerge as a sleeper
25. Chicago Bears – Orton and Forte have to step up; their “D” can only do so much
26. San Francisco 49ers – Mad Scientist Martz will make “O” fun
27. Oakland Raiders – McFadden and Russell need to grow up fast
28. St. Louis Rams – Need greatest show on turf to return
29. Baltimore Ravens – Can D maintain high level of intensity and win games; no QB looked very impressive during the preseason
30. Miami Dolphins – Major rebuilding project, Big Tuna is up for it
31. Atlanta Falcons – Atlanta has handed over the reins to the rookie, so let the Matt Ryan era begin ASAP
32. Kansas City Chiefs – Larry Johnson needs to return to form for the Chiefs to be competitive
