Chicago Bears LT Chris Williams: One undersold aspect of Williams' horrible day against Oakland Raiders endbacker Kamerion Wimbley last week is that offensive coordinator Mike Martz and offensive line coach Mike Tice refused to give Williams advanced protection help because (wait for it) ... they cheap nfl jerseys don't want to give away their blocking schemes. Williams, who is a serviceable tackle at best, was beaten by Wimbley for four sacks, and part of the problem was that left guard Roberto Garza was getting beaten inside, which forced Williams' eye off his own man. Chicago's coaching staff had better implement a few bunch sets or tight end stacks unless the idea is to get Jay Cutler killed.
Seattle Seahawks LT Mansfield Wrotto: Now that first-round pick Russell Okung is out with a high ankle sprain, it's up to Wrotto - a former defensive tackle and offensive guard -- to guard Matt Hasselbeck's blind side. The Seahawks had surprisingly good pass protection against the Packers last week with Wrotto on the left side, but Wrotto wasn't facing everyone's favorite Rhinestone Cowboy, Jared Allen. It's indicative of the level of play right tackle Sean Locklear is bringing to the table that he hasn't been moved to the left side - Seattle's previous front office gave Locklear a rich contract with incentives for his percentage of play on the left side. Now, he's much less of a factor.
Arizona Cardinals QB Derek Anderson: Cards head coach Ken Whisenhunt has said that he's benching Matt Leinart after Leinart's sub-par Monday Night Football performance. While this has started a string of talk about the former first-round pick reuniting with ex-USC and Cleveland Browns jersey current Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll in a trade, Whisenhunt's current concern is how to get a serviceable passing game together. Derek Anderson, the quarterback starting against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, didn't exactly light up the sky against Tennessee, either. If Anderson wants to establish himself as the long-term starter, he'll have to take care of the little things - like not air-mailing short slants in the red zone.
Minnesota Vikings S Tyrell Johnson: Johnson, a third-year safety, has been a pointman in Minnesota's disappointing pass defense. But Jamarca Sanford started at strong safety against the 49ers last week, and Johnson needs to fire back with his next chance. Most eyes will be on Brett Favre when the Vikings take on the Seahawks, but if the Vikings want to get to the Super Bowl with their precious quarterback, they need to solve a few issues in the secondary.
Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth: Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has said that Haynesworth will play end and nose tackle against the Jets' dominant offensive line. However, he will not start with the first team, as Shanahan is still trying to make sure that Cincinnati Bengals jersey Haynesworth is in game shape by the time the season starts. It would behoove Mr. Haynesworth to look good against the first-teamers as often as he is able, and to blow up the second team later in the game. Anything less will add yet more drama to a situation that everybody's already tired of following.
