Holt destined for JAX or TEN

Both need WRs badly. Holt could provide veteran leadership at the WR position in either location. My guess is that JAX with the unknown status of Matt Jones is the team with the most interest in the former Ram star.

TEN faces PIT in NFL kickoff game on Sep 10th.

Looks like the Ravens got their wish and ducked out of the kickoff game after all. The Thursday night matchup on NBC will showcase the AFC’s best as the Titans, owner of the best record in 2008, meet the Super Bowl Champion Steelers at Heinz Field.

Later that week NBC presents the oldest rivalry in football as the Bears take on the Packers at Lambeau Field in a Sunday night battle.

The Monday night double header features BUF and Terrell Owens at NE with a hopefully healthy Tom Brady and in the night cap the San Diego Chargers travel to Oakland (oh joy!).

The Raiders also get some prime time on Thanksgiving as they fly to Dallas for the middle Turkey day game. After some discussion, Detroit holds onto their traditional Thanksgiving game, they host Green Bay. The NY Giants are at Denver for the last of three televised Thanksgiving games.

In other notes, 2011 may the year the NFL unveils a 17 or 18 game schedule. Hint: the collective bargaining agreement with the players ends in 2010. Rumors are that the preseason will lose 1 or 2 games which will simply be added to expand the regular season.

NYG WR Steve Smith-breakout player in 2009

Steve Smith the NYG WR is one of my breakout players for 2009.
In 2008 he had 57 catches for 574 yards and 1 TD but he only really started in 4 games.

Why a breakout year?
1) Opportunity- as Plaxico Buress may be missing, making Smith a #2 and perhaps the Giants #1

2) Smith enters his third year (thus having learned the system he should be better), Many breakout WRs come in their 3rd or 4th year.

3) Smith was a second round pick in 2007 (usually the higher the round drafted the more chance of breaking out; 1 and 2 rounders are the best)

4) Rumor has it that the Giants were reluctant to include Smith in a deal with the Browns for B. Edwards. So they must like him.

Where would Cutler go? Det or Chicago or most likely

Detroit obviously needs a QB and rather than draft one with the first overall pick, Detroit could get an established vet in jay Cutler.

Chicago on the other hand seems to have a QB -Kyle Orton (last years darling until injured) after letting Rex Grossman (Good Rex. Bad Rex) go to free agency, the talk around Chicago is that perhaps a good QB is just what the young Bears need. They already have a great RB in Forte. Add some WRs and you have an offence to go with a nororious Bears Defense.

Other candidates? NYJ, SF or TB. All have questions at QB going into 2009.

The real question is what will Denver do about their QB situation if Cutler leaves.....or if he stays for that matter.
