The Jacksonville Jaguars were about as average as a team can be in the NFL last year, although that was disappointing for them. The Jaguars were hoping to be contenders again in the AFC South and instead finished in the division’s basement for the second year in a row at 7-9, which followed an even worse 5-11 campaign in 2008. Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew complained about a lack of respect for his team in the offseason, but playing the Indianapolis Colts tough in two meetings just will not cut it anymore. Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio is definitely on the hot seat going into this season and will need much more than Jones-Drew to turn things around. Jacksonville saw seven of their eight home games blacked out a year ago due to poor attendance and might be headed elsewhere if the team continues to underachieve.

The Tennessee Titans finished last season strong following a disappointing 0-6 start and hope they can pick up where they left off en route to a playoff appearance this year. The Titans were a completely different team after their bye week in 2009, winning five straight and seven of eight with a more mature Vince Young under center. Tennessee head coach Jeff Fisher wants that same Young directing his squad in 2010 because All-Pro running back Chris Johnson will have a very difficult time duplicating his magnificent 2,006-yard season of a year ago. Keeping Johnson healthy will be critical to the team’s success, so Fisher will rely on Young and a host of reserves in the offensive backfield to help lighten the load. The NFL did not do the Titans any favors either, as they have the second-hardest schedule in the league this season.

The Cleveland Browns are not the biggest story in town after NBA star LeBron James left the Cavaliers for Miami in the offseason. But they too will have a much different look this season under second-year head coach Eric Mangini and with Team President Mike Holmgren now on board. Gone are former quarterbacks Derek Anderson (Arizona) and Brady Quinn (Denver) in favor of veterans Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace along with rookie Colt McCoy. Cleveland also brought in TE Benjamin Watson and WR Bobby Engram to help stabilize a young receiving corps that is led by Chansi Stuckey, Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi. Delhomme is expected to be the starter for the regular-season opener and will not have a receiver like he did in Carolina with Steve Smith, but he will need to play a key role in developing the youngsters.

The Washington Redskins have already taken on a new identity under new head coach Mike Shanahan, starting with the treatment of former All-Pro DT Albert Haynesworth. Shanahan is a no-nonsense leader who was able to churn out a couple Super Bowl titles with an older John Elway that played three more seasons than new QB Donovan McNabb has under his belt heading into this year before winning his first championship. McNabb gives the Redskins their best quarterback since they won their last Super Bowl with Mark Rypien under center 19 years ago. But Shanahan’s biggest challenge will be trying to provide McNabb with enough weapons to give him a real chance to win in the toughest division in all of football.

The New York Giants have loads of talent left over from their Super Bowl championship team that won it all three years ago, and they should be a contender this season if they can just stay healthy. That might be asking too much from a squad which has still managed to go 20-12 over the last two seasons since winning Super Bowl XLII. New York’s rejuvenated defensive line will likely be the key to the season because Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka are as good as any pass rushers in the NFL. The Giants are still dealing with several injuries in training camp and saw franchise QB Eli Manning leave their first preseason game against the New York Jets with a gash on his head that required 12 stitches. Manning is expected to be fine, but his injury signifies the kind of beating the team will likely continue to take – and survive – in order to make its way back toward the top among the NFC’s elite teams in 2010.
