Week 1 of preseason is over. Top 5 Team performances...
posted August 20, 2009 - 6:40pm
Football season has officially begun and although preseason games definitly aren't a real game, they sure do wet your appetite for the regular season.
I know its only the first week of preseason and most starters only played for a couple drives or a full quarter at the most, but that wont stop me from looking ahead and thinking who will have those break out seasons.
So hear it is, my first top 5 teams of the week.
5) The Miami Dolphins - Yes the Dolphins made my list. No they werent AMAZING in their opener against the Jaguars, however, they were solid. The second year Dolphin, Chad Henne, threw for 94 yrds with 7 out of 11 completions (and he isn't even the starter). Kick returner Chris Williams also had a great performance. Although he had a rough start to the game, he broke a few big returns and looks very promising this season.
4) The Green Bay Packers - The offensive attack of the Packers is scary. Between QB Aaron Rodgers, RB Tyler Sutton, and Verteran Receivers like Donald Driver I dont know who will be able to keep up with this team.
3) The Minnesota Vickings - As the Vikings controlled the ball for almost 40 minutes against the Colts Sage Rosenfels looked like a real starter as he threw for 91 yrds in 10/13 pasing. Any team will have trouble scoring against this team if this Vicking offense can hold the ball for that long.
2) The Tennessee Titans - In the opening game of the preseason the Titans sure did open strong against the Buffalo Bills. With 14 first Quarter points and a solid throwing effort from Collins the Titans look like like they will be a force to be rekoned with this season.
1) The Ney York Giants - The Giants get my number 1 pick of the week not because they were the best passing, rushing, or even defensive team, but because of their potential. I am really looking forward to seeing what they can do in the rest of this preseason before week 1.
