Pete Prisco writes Matt Birk is overrated, but Jared Gaither is underrated: "Overrated: C Matt Birk. Put on the tape of him playing for the Vikings in the playoffs last January and try to tell me he's not overrated.
Underrated: LT Jared Gaither. In his first full season as a starter he developed into a good player. He should be even better in 2009 -- and has Pro Bowl ability." [CBSSports.com]
Michael Lombardi says Greg Mattison faces challenges replacing Rex Ryan: "He must build trust with the players. He must create, in his own way, the same bond that Ryan had with his players. The players trusted Ryan, so they played hard for him and followed his lead. His No. 1 selling point will be that team members must be open with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses - honesty breeds trust. Without this quality, we cannot build a successful team."
