2011 NFL Preview

It takes a completely balanced team to win a Super Bowl. One weakness on your team can spell doom for title hopes. Last year, the Packers were thought to be weak in the running game and on the offensive line heading into the season. The offensive line meshed some youngsters with veterans and became a stable, cohesive unit by the end of the season. This allowed them to find enough of a consistent running game behind James Starks. Green Bay may not have been great at every position on the field, but they did not have any true weaknesses to exploit. The Packers found contributions from everywhere on the field to lead them a Super Bowl title. Here is a look at where your team ranks at every position heading into the 2011 season.
