Aside from health, the Bulls need a couple players to step up their game in order to be a serious playoff team and not just one series and out.Kirk Hinrich is the poster child of someone who needs to step it up. Now finally we are seeing a possible Ted vs Cody vs RKO feud Granted I still don’t want this to be a WM26 main event …. Hopefully people like Vince Young and Terrelle Pryor can succeed and be great and open the door for acceptance of everybody simply just based on their talents. 6.

Returning two starters to the defense next year is going to be a problem, no matter how you slice it.

True, he spent time on the practice squad in his first season, but he’s been hurt for much of the last two.Given that a primary reason for this might be the speedy back’s constant struggles with weight, the problem seems to be self-induced.  Bradshaw was a part of an NFL in which a defense could break a WR legs just before the catch, and the Aikman/Marino era was in a time of offensive time limit.The thing is folks, today’s NFL is a lot of different from our Grandmothers NFL.
