Marv Lewis’ job may depend on how well Mike Zimmer does his. Zimmer will be the third defensive coordinator in Lewis’ six-year tenure as Bengals head coach. Lewis was lauded as a top defensive coordinator with both the Ravens and Redskins, but his defenses have been abused in Cincinnati. Over the past three seasons, when Chuck Bresnahan was the coordinator, the Bengals’ defense never ranked better than 27th in yards allowed.

The Bills should not trade J.P. Losman just because he wants out of Buffalo. Losman is angry about losing his starting job to Trent Edwards while out with a sprained knee. However, Edwards did not set the league on fire, and he will only be entering his second season. Unless they get an offer they can’t refuse, the Bills should give Losman one more shot to win the starting job, or keep him as an experienced backup.

California junior WR DeSean Jackson was smart to enter the draft. The Bears (pick No. 14), Vikings (17), Eagles (19), Bucs (20), and Titans (24) are among many teams looking for a top wideout. Unless Jackson gets in trouble, gets injured or goes on a serious eating binge, there is no way he won’t be a first-round pick.

LG Alan Faneca could help the Seahawks solve their running woes. The Steelers are not expected to re-sign Faneca, who is looking for a huge deal, and the Seahawks need him. Though RB Shaun Alexander has lost a step, Seattle’s rushing attack has not been the same since LG Steve Hutchinson signed with the Vikings two years ago. With Faneca and star LT Walter Jones playing side by side, the Seahawks’ running game would improve regardless whether Alexander stays.

Firing offensive coordinator Norm Chow will not help the Titan’s offense. Chow was made the scapegoat; the Titans struggled because QB Vince Young didn’t progress reading defenses and his average receivers struggled to get open. Finding better wideouts is a top offseason priority, but the Titans also face major contract issues on the defensive line with T Albert Haynesworth and Es Antwan Odom and Travis LaBoy set to become free agents. Expect Tennessee to put a franchise tag on Haynesworth if they can’t reach an agreement, even though that could force them to part with Odom or LaBoy because they need cap space to give Young the help he needs.
