I don't like these rankings. It's nice that he's trying to do something different, but I just can't see it playing out like this at this point.
Minnesota at 13 is crazy. Even without Favre I think that they're better than that. They could get to the play-offs on their running game and defense, alone. Although he does make a good point about the O-line.
Seattle at 11? Even if this is a play-off simulation, rather than a power ranking, I'd go with the 49ers.
What have the Giants done to improve, all of a sudden? I'd take both Dallas and Philly over them right now.
Carolina at 8 seems like a stretch with that awful D-line. Without Peppers, their defense gets even more mediocre than it already was. I bet you can't name one playmaker on that defense.
Miami at 6 is a stretch. Henne hasn't done enough to show that he'll, somehow, become an elite QB all of a sudden. Both of their starting DE/OLBs from last year are gone and Koa Misi isn't going to be a force (in his first year).
And lastly, Green Bay at 1 is pretty crazy right now. The article itsself says it already, we don't have anyone opposite of Matthews, who's a little overrated, anyway. I hope that Brad Jones has bulked up and will show something, but I doubt that very much. The O-line still isn't great. Clifton will be on the ground at some points during the season and Bulaga will have to step in, who's a big unknown and is, I think, still more of a RT, anyway.
We'll see how it plays out, though. There's a few surprises every year and he's bound to have some right.
