West Teams (Ben's Buzz)

First off, sorry me and my brother could not make it to the computer these last couple of weeks, months whatever you want to call it. Now on my part of the blog today I will be discussing these next couple of days about the NFC & AFC West. (I'm a New England Patriots fan so I hate the west), I will be ranking them 1-8 in order from worst to best starting off with, the St.Louis Rams. This may be dissapointing to all St.Louis fans out there, but to tell the truth, they are in my opinion in worst shape than the Detroit Lions. Because if you think about it the Lions were in a division full of playoff hopefuls and amazing players like Adrian Peterson, Aaron Rodgers, and Devin Hester. Its very hard to win games in a division like that. As for the Rams, they played in the easiest division possibly in football history. Cardinals may have had an amazing playoff run, but remember, they had a 9-7 regular season. The Rams could've, no should've won at least 5 games last season, but they didn't. And Lions were not that bad in the 2007 season they started 5-0! Now the Rams would be a better team if they got a very good player on that offense like Steven Jackson. They did get Jason Smith with that 2nd pick in the draft, but I think they should have gotten Andre Smith, he had problems during the combine, but think about the ends he had to play in his division compared to Jason Smith. Jason played in an easy confrence with not very great players. I had 9 sacks on him in one game on NCAA 09 football. That is definitly not a good sign. James Laurinaitas will be an amazing player for that team,(even though he played at Ohio State, I'm a Michigan fan so). Another stupid thing they did was release Drew Bennet, I can understand getting rid of Torry Holt,(because he's a no show for all the attention he gets), if they had Drew Bennet still I would've predicted a huge jump to a 9-7 record and missing the playoffs by a little, but I predict a 7-9 record due to no HUGE receiver threat. Steven Jackson though will rush over 1,400 yards next season and the team should keep improving with time.
