O-line definitely. Their D should be better when they get their secondary back. They were seriously depleted there last night. The Cowboys D looked very good last night and their offense should score plenty of points most weeks. If their O-line holds up they could be a surprise package this year. Or Romo will fall apart after November again.

Amukamara was a big missing piece in the Giants secondary and Webster had a crap game. You're right, they should improve. Their OL, on the other hand, looked like shit. Very little push leaving Bradshaw having to dart around and make his own holes.

The 'Boys looked very impressive and that includes their much maligned OL going against a strong pass rush. Not sure they can keep that up, but if they can they could win the division.

Oh, and Claiborne looked very solid in his first game against some tough WRs. Very promising for them.

After week one the NFC East should look like this:

Dallas 1-0
Philly 1-0
NYG 0-1
Wash 0-1

Jonathan Stewart likely out (start D. Williams)
Arian Foster unsure to play (hope you drafted Tate)
A. Peterson to get some touches (start T. Gerhart)
Lynch still a giant question mark (get Turbin ready)
James Harrison may miss game 1
T. Richardson should start
S. Johnson iffy to play
Mendenhall shouldn't play (Redman iffy too)

The 'Hawks should finish second out West, with an outside shot at first. The 9ers shouldn't end up with 13 wins again. 10 is more likely.

Redman, Foster, and Lynch all slated to start, but all of their backups will get significant touches.

Peterson with around 10-15 touches. Gerhart is the workhorse in week 1 though. Same game, R. Jennings will get the majority of touches for the Jags. MJD with a handful.

Alfred Morris in line to start for the Redskins. Stay away unless you're desperate.

Deangelo Williams to start for Carolina with Stewart out. Williams might have a big game against a poor TB run defense.

And now they've fumbled the ball inside their own half. If that's not bad enough, my opponent in FF has Foster whose benefiting from all this!

Could be worse, you could have the Bills as your defence.

JJ Watt just destroyed Tannehill. Surprised he got back up after it.
