AFC South: Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville,Tennessee

No. 8 D’Anthony Smith (DT, Jaguars)

D’Anthony Smith wasn’t a great selection at first glance, but beneath the surface, he was a perfect third-round snag for the Jags.

He’s quick, explosive, and very disruptive. Moreover, he pushes the pocket well, has a high motor, good character, and is a team leader. He won’t start immediately, but should have a promising impact in an effective rotation in the revamped defensive front.

No. 7 Damian Williams, WR, Titans

In an effort to help prevent Kenny Britt from being trapped in double coverage and one-dimensional attack, the Titans brought in third-round-pick Damian Williams.

While Williams won’t breakout with 70 catches, he should reel in around 35, all the while illustrating supreme route running and solid playmaking ability. This should further diversify the offensive gameplan and force the opposition to respect the pass.

No. 6 Pat Angerer, LB, Colts

The name implies high levels of intensity, anger and aggression, all of which Pat Angerer possesses. Some analysts say Angerer is slightly undersized to play middle linebacker.

“What Angerer might not have in size, he makes up for with great instincts. He is a good run defender and very effective in pass coverage…”—Bleacher Report’s Bret Feddern

“A lot of good defensive players in the history of the game that weren’t quite good enough or fast enough ended up having ten or 12-year careers and Pat [Angerer] could end up being one of those guys,” said NFL Network’s Paul Burmeister.

No. 5 Jerry Hughes, DE, Colts

Jerry Hughes is expected to make an immediate impact with the Colts. Though Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney are still elite defenders and provide one of the top defensive line tandems in the league today, injuries hit without warning.

In addition, nothing hurts an opposing offensive line and signal caller more than a deft, fluctuating alternation, continuously bringing in phenomenal players with fresh legs.

No. 4 Derrick Morgan, DE, Titans

A major abyss has to be filled with the loss of Jevon Kearse and Kyle Vanden Bosch. Derrick Morgan is the man for the job, as he brings toughness, elusiveness, aggression, and so much more to the equation.

Morgan has a very promising future and I only suspect an instant impact with an abounding career for years to come.

No. 3 Ben Tate, RB, Texans

The Texans led the league in passing last season, and yet the receiving corps is even stronger. However, Head Coach Gary Kubiak’s top priority this offseason was upgrading the running game, and he believes Ben Tate could have an immediate impact.

While Tate had some injuries, he comes off a stellar senior year at Auburn, accumulating 1,362 yards on 263 carries for a 5.2 average, with 10 touchdowns.

“The Texans are optimistic Steve Slaton will have a nice bounce-back season and they like everything they’ve seen from Arian Foster. And then there’s Tate, who could make a position of weakness one of strength,” according to Houston Chronicle’s Richard Justice.

Expect to be blown away by a successful three-headed monster in second-year pro Arian Foster, the new and improved, no longer fumble and injury-prone Steve Slaton, and the very complimentary bell cow rookie Ben Tate.

No. 2 Tyson Alualu, DT, Jaguars

Questions still remain on what went through the minds in the Jaguars’ organization when they made the immense reach for Tyson Alualu with the 10th pick overall, as well as which system will be run on defense.

This will determine whether Alualu lines on the outside in a 3-4 or inside in a 4-3.

However, his excellent mindset and outstanding skills set will impede the bleeding that took place on the Jaguars’ defensive front in ’09, and I can tell he’ll quickly become a star. And that to me is as clear as the Mediterranean Ocean.

No. 1 Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

First-round corner Kareem Jackson comes in as Dunta Robinson’s replacement and now joins forces with another former Tide defender and NFL superstar in the making in DeMeco Ryans.

Jackson possesses excellent leadership, toughness, quickness, a winner mentality, and the experience in a resembling pro system to be an ample influence in Week One.

While Jackson won’t be winning battles with Larry Fitzgerald in his first season, don’t count out the possibility soon enough, as he duels it out with Andre Johnson in practice.

U ovoj diviziji svi imaju 3-2.....
Al ce biti klanja.

Posto su svi jednaki nije kasno za prognozu!

1.Titans
2.Colts
3.Texans
4.Jaguars

Najjaca divizija do sada..

Od najjace divizije kad su svi bili iznad .500,AFC South je otisao u kurac.Samo zapad je gori(NFC).

nemoj tako

Tako je kako je..jos ako nas Jaguars-i budu predstavljali u PO..

biće to divan momenat...parada čokoladnih

prava crnacka ekipa sto kaze kolega ,,parada cokoladnih'' . e da imaju valjda jednog polu belog igraca.

Kog? Thomasa?

The front-runner: The Colts might look vulnerable with Peyton Manning likely to miss much of the preseason while recovering from neck surgery. However, they're getting back key players from injuries like Dallas Clark and Austin Collie. Defensively, they'll have to replace linebacker Clint Session and cornerback Kelvin Hayden (free agency) but they remain the team to beat.

hm..šta reći za koltse..ja očekujem puno..ne znam zašto

The biggest threat: The Texans have the offensive weapons. Adding Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning will help the secondary and return games. If last season's first-round draft pick, CB Kareem Jackson, gets it going under Wade Phillips, the Texans might finally breakthrough.

ako poprave odbranu da ne duva onoliki propuh može svašta biti

Work to do: Jacksonville's defensive additions of Dawan Landry, Clint Session and Paul Posluszny are major upgrades. Is there enough offense to hang with Indy and Houston? Tennessee could surprise. There is a lot of talent on the offensive line and on defense. If QB Matt Hasselbeck can stay healthy, Tennessee could be a sleeper. The addition of LB Barrett Ruud will be good because in this pass-happy division, players have to tackle in space, which he does well.

kome će bacati Mat...

Malo sad citam o Fosteru i Texansima u novoj sezoni... Nekako sam dojma da bi ove godine mogli uzet diviziju... Mislim da je doslo njihovo vrijeme...

hm..da ako se ne skrlja
