Houston led the league in passing last season, but ranked 30th in rushing.
But with the O-Line more experienced, additional offensive versatile weapons, and a three-headed monster at running back, look for more balance by the Texans in 2010.
Arian Foster performed extremely well at the end of his rookie debut and expects to resonate in an effective 1-2 punch, tandem, or some sort of rotation.
Despite public opinion and a gruesome sophmore slump, suffering fumbling and injury-prone issues, Steve Slaton's first two seasons in the NFL merged together account for 399 carries for 1,719 yards.
Slaton's average is 4.3 yards per carry and has accumulated 12 rushing touchdowns. Additionally, his impact in the passing game has been extremely effective, producing 94 catches for [...]

Today, I continue my cream of the crop series. Last article was the top ten offenses, and the next few articles will involve offense.
Now we have the top ten receivers heading into 2010.
Who will emerge onto this list? Who will miss the cut?
Enjoy!
Here are some honorable mentions Vincent Jackson ( How will potential holdout affect his game?) , Greg Jennings/Donald Driver
Wes Welker ( wants to see how he bounces back from injury) ,Derrick Mason ,Hines Ward ,Malcom Floyd , Desean Jackson
10. Sidney Rice
As a member of the Vikings, Sidney Rice emerged as one of the best receivers in the game.
With 1312 yards and 8 touchdowns, Rice is on his way to being a future star in the making.
The reason, he, just like Miles Austin, is lower on the list [...]

The 2010 NFL season is less than three months from kicking into swing.
In an effort to cope with the offseason pain, I have conducted a list of power rankings designated in the three biggest states in terms of combined land and population.
While New York boasts a couple of perpetual contenders, I’m the type of guy that loves fun under the sun, especially in the summer.
So without further ado, I present my predictions on how the eight teams in the three largest states will unfold at the end of the '10 season.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers finished with a 9-7 record in 2008 but fell apart like a $2 suitcase last season. Nevertheless, better things are expected on the horizon.
For the last seven years the team that finished last in the [...]

As training camp approaches, there will be starting spots on the line for all 32 teams. Whether it's a rookie coming out on top, or a veteran keeping his job, these next three months will be crucial for the franchises.
So, which ones should you consider watching closely during training camp? I have come up with five battles in training camp to keep your eye on (in no specific order).
5. Clinton Ports vs Larry Johnson vs Willy Parker
When Mike Shanahan became the Washington Redskins head coach, he was going to bring the same kind of offense to Denver, which is running the ball.
Clinton Portis was the starter last year, and many think he is the obvious choice after camp.
Not so fast. For those that remember, Shanahan, and Portis had a falling out in Denver, which [...]

Contrary to public opinion, the Brian Cushing four-game suspension that was announced last Friday doesn’t fundamentally affect the team’s progress to begin the 2010 NFL season.

I have put together a list of rankings uncovering the AFC quarterbacks in honor of the Jason Campbell transition to Oakland, the Delhomme transition to Cleveland, the potential in Matt Sanchez and Joe Flacco, the Ben Roethlisberger controversy, and the general pleasure of breaking down quarterback rankings.
Last season’s statistics was by far the greatest factor, followed by off-the-field morale, and leadership and winner mentality.
And finally the success expected in the upcoming season due to offseason transactions, as well as potential that lies ahead within their arsenal.

COMP – Completions
ATT – Attempts
YDS – Yards

Now a week following the highly anticipated unveiling of the 2010 NFL Draft, teams are filling up their rosters and depth charts, trying to make any necessary upgrades, and attempting to sign potential superstars in the making.
In honor of the recent trades, controversy, Pro Bowl visits, and general fun in breaking down power rankings, I’ve put together a short list of power ranking the AFC South quarterbacks.
4. Vince Young (Titans)
Since his final opportunity to steal the sensational victory in comeback fashion over the USC Trojans in the 2005 BCS National Championship to his last chance to play as a starter in the NFL, Vince Young has had quite a controversial experience over the last [...]
