NFC West 2011 Predictions.....RAMS and SEAHAWKS battle it out....9ERS and HARBAUGH well....CARDS not enough on the ROSTER

The 2011 NFC WEST looks like maybe a 3-team race but more of a 2-team race with the RAMS and SEAHAWKS battling it out of Supremacy in the WEST.

The RAMS and Head man Steve Spagnuolo are he Favorites with QB Sam BRADFORD, RB Steven JACKSON, and an ever improving Defense led by former Ohio STATE MLB James LUARANITIS and HOF Raider Howie LONG'S Son Chris LONG.

The SEAHAWKS and Pete CARROLL are also building something special but they have to find a QB whether that is VIKES Pick up Tavaris JACKSON or Charlie WHITEHURST........the search party is still out in the Great Northwest.

The 9ERS look like a PROJECT....especially at QB.....former San Diego HELIX HS QB and Utah UTE Alex SMITH, recruited by one Urban MEYER at UTAH and played at HELIX HS with one DOLPHINS RB Reggie BUSH, might get the call or 2nd round pick Colin KAEPERNICK.......see.....PROBLEMS on O.....BIG TIME.

NOTE: the GREAT BILL WALTON, UCLA and Portland TRAILBLAZER Center, also played at San Diego HELIX HS and resides in DIEGO to this day

The CARDS go out and get QB Kevin KOLB to go with their $120 Million extended WR Larry FITZGERALD........an average of $15 Million per...but they lose a Corner in Dominique RODGERS-CROMARTIE......go figure.....and as the norm under Whisenhunt.....picking up STEELERS Castoffs.

the 2011 NFC West Predictions powered by BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK:

RAMS 10-6 #4 Overall Seed in the NFC: lookout for QB Sam BRADFORD who seems to be that next guy. Then behind him is RB Steven JACKSON still with a few yards left in him. The Recieving Corp will be No-name but productive as BRADFORD will chuck it all over the YARD. Look for former CINCY BEARCAT Mardy GILYARD to become a Jack-of-all TRADES for the RAMS.

On Defense they have JAMES LUARANITIS leading the way in the middle, Chris LONG on the D-LINE, and look for former Packer All-Pro AL HARRIS to solidify the Secondary and get the young guys to buy in. They look very fast and fly to the ball in Preseason thus far.

OUTLOOK: From a scheduling standpoint they have the AFC North and the NFC East......that will be a tough haul for the RAMS.....but their built better than any other team in the division. QB Sam BRADFORD will have a productive year and he will keep that 8 man front to a minimum and help RB Steven JACKSON. Rams will be in this season and the LOU will be jumping.

SEAHAWKS 8-8 Playing for a few good men in the 2012 NFL Draft: PETE CARROLL and his magic will run out this season just because they have no stability at QB. JACKSON and WHITEHURST will battle it out but it will be up to RB Marshawn LYNCH, TE Zach MILLER, and former VIKES deep Threat and South Carolina Mr. BASKETBALL Sidney RICE to make a splash in PUGET SOUND. Also can Mike WILLIAMS continue to elevate his career after a pretty productive year last season after a few years of NO FOOTBALL. THE Hawks also picked up former SC QB Matt LEINART for PETES SAKE.

Defensively where is former WAKE FOREST All-American MLB Aaron CURRY. Is he on the ROSTER....he must be because PETE and his staff cut fan favorite ILB Lofa TATUPU....who is now with the RAIDERS......who else would he be with. They also picked up under achieving and former MAIZE and BLUE All-American DT Alan BRANCH....you have got to produce BIG FELLA. The SECONDARY still has for WAZU All-AMERICAN Marcus TRUFANT and 2nd year stud SAFETY and Hookem' Horns Alum Earl THOMAS....he will be in some Pro Bowls soon.

OUTLOOK: The HAWKS must get the QB position squared away. The Defense will be better than average and we know the HAWKS and the 12th ZONE are tough and almost impossible to beat in QWEST. They play the AFC NORTH and NFC EAST.....so it will be tough sledding for them. If they can get JACKSON or WHITEHURST to give them some stability back there.....LYNCH and all that talent in Recieving Game will be on DISPLAY.

CARDS 5-11 Looking for some help on Defense...Linebacker: The CARDINALS went out and got THEIR GUY and sacrificed Defense for Offense but had to. They get QB Kevin KOLB and lose Pro Bowler Dominique RODGERS-CROMARTIE. This past Friday they also lost their starting RB Ryan WILLIAMS of Beamer BALL Blacksburg V A to a torn Patella tendon....out for the SEASON. Now they have RB Beanie WELLS to revive something.....he has done nothing and CARDS next time call the BLUEDUDE...I would have told you don't touch him. Can't take a hit......LAZY.......and resides in BEANIE Land.....that's a combustible mix.....Good Luck with that Coach WHIZ .

Defensively they have FSU 'NOLE DT Darnell DOCKETT and OLB Joey PORTER aka J-PEEZY of the COLORADO STATE RAMS. Now if we were counting SOUND BITES and teams get points.....the CARDS would be right there at the TOP with J-PEEEEEEZY alone. The SECONDARY has Adrian WILSON and Kerry RHODES at SAFETY with LSU TIGER and Top 5 pick Patrick PETERSON at one of the CORNERS. They need help at the Linebacker spots and D-Line.

OUTLOOK: The CARDS better hope QB KOLB was worth the ticket as he has only started less than 10 Games for his career. The LOSS of Rookie RB Ryan WILLIAMS is a huge blow and RB Beanie WELLS will be done by mid-season....Running Scared all the time. The SCHEDULE is the AFC NORTH and the NFC EAST and if COACH WHIZ has anything circled on his calendar it's the late OCtober Tilt with the STEELERS. He seems to be still salty about not getting the STEELERS JOB. He just better count his blessings because COACH TOMLIN will get at least 2 more before he sniffs a NFC Championship Game again.

49ERS 2-14 do I have to report this.......: Former STANFORD Head Man probably by now knows exactly what he got his self into. Now is he the right man for the JOB......YES SIR.......is his TEAM TERRIBLE...YES SIR again......and will JIMMY fix it sooner rather than later.....all bets are on.....YES.

Offensively they have RB Frank GORE, WR Michael CRABTREE, and the NFLs #1 TE Vernon DAVIS. ONE PROBLEM....no one to throw to CRAB and DAVIS.

Defensively they have the #1 LB in Patrick WILLIS......MISSISSIPPI born.....MISSISSIPPI fed.......go OLE MISS REBELS. Now we are not playing in the SEC and he knows that. Justin SMITH is a STUD DE and after that they have some projects.

OVERALL: Chalk this one up NINERS FANS.....you thought last season was bad........think positive and you will get......to about week 5 or 6 and be like we are not even half way through the Season. You know the SCHEDULE right?........STEELERS, RAVENS, EAGLES, COWBOYS, and G-MEN. Not to mention the Upstart LIONS......there is 6 losses....now if you can find ( wins in the next 10 games...please e-mail the BLUEDUDE at BLUEDUDE@goldrushneedsPLAYERS.org
