Looking towards the Offseason

-I believe the Packers factored the playing ability of DE/DT Cullen Jenkins into their decision to switch to a hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense. Mike McCarthy displays a high regard to Jenkins' ability as an overpowering end on running downs as well as his ability to outquick opposing guards on passing downs. Jenkins was arguably the Packer's best defensive player through the first four weeks of the season until he tore his pectoral muscle and was placed on injured reserve. At 6'2, 305 lbs. the Packers coaches (what little of it there is) envision Cullen Jenkins as close to a prototypical 3-4 defensive end. They also  must believe that Jenkins will be ready for training camp so he can absorb the new defensive scheme.

-It should be a  matter of when, not if Giants CB Aaron Ross will be moved to safety. Ross has below average speed for a corner but his lack of speed might be well hidden by a move to Safety. Aaron Ross was abused by Braylon Edwards this past season, often on deep routes were Edwards simply ran by Ross. The Giants must recognize that Ross will have trouble being a corner in this league, much less a number one corner, what the Giants were asking him to be.

-I really doubt that Roger Goodell would approve the sale of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to former 49er's owner and actual Riverboat gambler, Eddie DeBartolo.

The big story here is that the Glazer family is finding financing a European soccer club is not as easy as it looked from across the pond. The Glazer's investment in Manchester United is starting to eat into the money they annually budget for the Buccaneers.
