NFL Network's 2009 Season Preview Pt 2
Rich Eisen, Warren Sapp, and Rod Woodson pick their team to watch

Eisen: Good afternoon and welcome back to NFL Total Access. Today, we're previewing the 2009 NFL season. So far, we've talked about our Super Bowl 44 picks and now we're going to talk about teams to watch. Who will be the next Arizona Cardinals per say? Happy to have Hall of Famer Rod Woodson on set, so Rod who is your dark horse?

Woodson: I'm going to have to go with the Buffalo Bills. They got off to a hot start last year before fading away. This is a young team loaded with talent and I don't think they'll fade this year even though they play in a difficult division. And let's not forget about Terrell Owens. He has brought so much energy to the team and the fan base and has the team believing they are capable of going to the playoffs. I think they have a legitimate shot of grabbing a wildcard seed this year.

Eisen: Ok Warren, what about you?

Sapp: You know what? I like the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah they had a disastrous campaign in 2008 finishing the year with just four wins but this team will be dramatically better if they can stay healthy this year. In the off season they were hit hard by the loss of T.J. Houshmandez and some veterans on the offensive line, but they countered with a solid draft and some solid free agent acquisitions. The biggest return will be Carson Palmer at quarterback because he is the heart and soul of that offense. His number one target will be Chad Ochocinco or whatever his name is and after speaking to number eighty-five, he is focused on going to the playoffs and will put aside his personal issues for the benefit of the team. Then again, he's probably saying all of this because he is in a contract year. But like I said if this team stays healthy, they will surely make some noise in the AFC.

Eisen: Very interesting picks. Personally, I like the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their revamped their o-line, which was an Achilles heel for them last season, and their defense looks stacked. Add in Garrard, Jones-Drew, and Torry Holt and this team can very well make the playoffs.

Sun Devils Display Their Passing Attack; Upset #17 Brigham Young


Danny Sullivan, who long awaited his chance to become the starting QB at ASU, impressed in his first game with over 300 yards passing.


--TEMPE, AZ. After a long wait for the Sun Devil faithful, the season kicked off in Sun Devil Stadium with the 17th-ranked Brigham Young Cougars coming into town. With high-caliber quarterback Max Hall matching up against senior Danny Sullivan, who just came out of a huge competition for his job, Brigham Young was expected to walk away easily with this game in hand.

However, that was not the case. Early on, it was all about explosive Junior wideout Kerry Taylor, who came out early in the First Quarter with two huge catches for touchdowns. The first was on a post route on man-to-man coverage with no safeties to help. Taylor caught the ball at midfield and just blew past the following corner. The second came off of a quick wide receiver screen that Taylor juked and spun his way to the house for six. With the only response being a touchdown from BYU's running back Unga, the Sun Devils broke out to an early 14-7 lead with Kerry Taylor already over 100 yards receiving.

The Second Quarter became a scoring shootout as both team benefited from huge plays on offense. ASU's running game saw it's only real production in the game off of a option pitch from Sullivan to Dimitri Nance, who took it to the house on a 51-yard scamper. On the following drive, Unga punched it in on a 3rd and 2 for 85 yards to put the score at 24-21 in favor of BYU with only 32 seconds left. However, ASU had other plans. After a great return by Kerry Taylor, Sullivan launched a bomb to Kyle Williams on a 47-yard fade route to put the score at 28-21 just in time for halftime.

The game settled into a defensive battle with multiple three and outs in the third until a late drive by ASU was capped off by nine yard touchdown pass to Chris McGaha on a quick crossing route. BYU was able to respond with a rushing touchdown by Kariya in the fourth, putting the score at 35-32 after the two-point conversion. But, it was for not as the Sun Devils would run down the clock as they marched up the field and sealed the game with a last second field goal by All-American kicker Thomas Weber to place the final score at 38-35 in the upset of Brigham Young.
