NFL Power Poll: Packers' expectations soar, but Jets still No. 1 Green Bay is the smallest market in the NFL, but no team has created more buzz over the past month. Although last season's 7-1 finish has played a part, the attention is largely based on the unstoppable preseason performance of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense. The players have accepted the high expectations without letting the hype get to them. "I don't see a problem with it," tight end Jermichael Finley said.

NFL division races: AFC North (SportingNews.com)

Comments Off 
A look at the strengths, weaknesses, rehab issues and what to expect in the AFC North, as provided by SN's NFL correspondents: Baltimore Ravens The strength: The Ravens play outstanding run defense. They have two great run stoppers in DTs Kelly Gregg and Haloti Ngata, and they have linebackers who can run in Ray Lewis, Jameel McClain, Terrell Suggs and Jarret Johnson. Most important, seldom do you see their linebackers off their feet. The weakness: The secondary is suspect because the Ravens lack a legitimate star in the starting group.

A look at the strengths, weaknesses, rehab issues and what to expect in the AFC East, as provided by SN's NFL correspondents: New York Jets The strength: With the return of All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis, the Jets have as good a cornerback tandem as any team in the NFL, and perhaps the best one. Opponents picked on Lito Sheppard last season, but it might not be so easy to repeatedly test Antonio Cromartie, whose skills are suited for man-to-man coverage.

Big concerns: AFC East (SportingNews.com)

Comments Off 
A look at each team's biggest concern with the start of the NFL season less than a week away. Buffalo Bills QB Trent Edwards seems to be rejuvenated under new coach Chan Gailey. Edwards had an efficient preseason, displaying a good grasp of the offense. But will the poise and confidence he showed during the summer carry over in the fall? Perhaps no player is more important than Edwards, who struggled mightily last season. He missed open receivers and seemed uncertain where to go with the ball.

Teams had until 5 p.m. ET Sept. 4 to reach the NFL-mandated 53-player roster limit. Here's a team-by-team look from SN's correspondents at cuts and other decisions by teams in the division: Buffalo Bills Coaches decided to go with a young wideout unit, cutting veterans James Hardy and Chad Jackson in favor of undrafted rookies David Nelson and Donald Jones. Hardy was a surprise cut because he was a 2008 second-round pick. But injuries and inconsistent play hindered him throughout his career.

Reason for concerns: AFC East (SportingNews.com)

Posted by Yahoo! Sports - NFL - New York Jets News under Nfl
Comments Off 
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC East: Buffalo Bills 1. Left tackle. The Bills might not be good enough at the position. LT Demetrius Bell struggled mightily last season and has gotten limited preseason reps coming off knee surgery, so stamina might be an issue. RT Cornell Green has not looked good in pass protection. The Bills must limit long-yardage situations because shaky pass protection could endanger QB Trent Edwards.

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome told reporters that he expects Wilson to play in the team's opener Sept. 13 at the New York Jets, "Josh is someone who has started a lot of games for a young player, plus he has been a good special teams player both as a kick returner and in coverages," Newsome said. "He adds depth to our secondary and will help us." Wilson played 28 games (23 starts) with the Seahawks...
