NFC CONFERENCE SOUTH


Pre-season Standings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3 - 1
Atlanta Falcons 2 - 2
Carolina Panthers 2 - 2
New Orleans Saints 2 - 2

A wide open division except the continuing shambles that is Atlanta Falcons. Two sides here have good claims for me.

The New Orleans Saints have the best protected passer in the league in Drew Brees and with new tight end Jeremy Shockey have greater blocking and another outlet for the short pass. They have been steadily working upwards and now have a year to claim divisional dominance and set for the play-offs. There is no problem with the run with Reggie Bush and what they have done in the off season is completely revamp the defense that was so poor last year.
