Tony Ugoh? Interesting.....I hadn't heard of him at all but I think the Colts have bigger problems on defense.

I think that the most pressure will be on Ugoh. If he doesn't cover Manning's blindside, that Colts offense won't run as smoothly. Should be an interesting year for them.

Notice how the No. 8 on that list gets to come back just in time to play against the Vikes.

I disagree with Lewis being on that list.
Playing for a team going nowhere (the Browns), I had already written Lewis off as a player in decline.
If he returns to a 3.2 ypc average behind the Browns line, with all the mileage he has on him, it won't be unexpected at all.

Wow, I was thinking just the opposite. Ugoh is on an offense that is stacked. EVen if he is a step down from Glenn, a Colts offense that "doesn't run as smoothly" is still better than half of the offenses in the league.

Lewis on the other hand is dealing with question marks all around him, and he age means he has nowhere to go but down. If he can't produce the Browns offense will crumble. I expect him to decline, but not by much.

I would think McGahee has a ton of pressure on him. The Ravens expect to get better offensively simply because he is an upgrade over Lewis. He should perform well, but still that is a lot of pressure.
