Well I'm gonna preach on my two teams... Titans and Raidahs

The Titans had a great year last year but the prize was still elusive. They had a fantastic draft(the selection of Ben Troupe to replace Frank Wycheck was outstanding), and hopefully the rooks will be able to help out a lot on the D-Line. We really need it there. The loss of Eddie was tough to take, but much more so for sentimental reasons than it being detrimental to the team. It's my opinion that Antowain Smith is very over-rated and he's not even really rated highly. The running game WILL suffer this year, but it is something that can be overcome. Maybe Smith will have a breakthrough year, and maybe Chris Brown will come into his own. The loss of Justin McCareins was hard to take, he was becoming, and will soon be, one of the best young wideouts in the game. However, Derrick Mason remains, along with Golden Hands Drew Bennet. Hopefully Tyrone Calico will be the hot talent everyone is hoping for. The defense overall will be still be tough, but it won't be the running-game-dominator it was last year.

And the most important factor: the best and toughest quarterback in the league, Steve McNair, will return. He alone could carry this team to the playoffs, IMO, and the Titans will still be a force to reckoned with in 2004.

The Raiders had a disappointing year last season due to coaching problems. But the most important main players are back and ready for action. The additions of Robert Gallery and Jake Grove is genius. These two vicious men embody the spirit of Silver and Black football. The best draft move made by any team, IMO. Warren Sapp is a ham, true, but the man is a definite force in the middle, and no one in the NFL can truly contain him when he get's fired up, not to mention the absolutely brilliant addition of man-beast Ted Washington. With he and Sapp in the middle, any running back will be hard pressed to gain 100 yards this season. The Raiders, under new leadership, will return to power this year and be the force everyone had come to respect.
