Joel Thorman from Arrowhead Pride was nice enough to answer 5 questions about his Kansas City Chiefs for us.

As a fantasy owner of Jamaal Charles I was frustrated with the way he was used a lot of times. Do Chiefs fan feel that he should be getting the ball more? Has the coaching staff given any reasons for why he gets the amount of touches he does?

There are plenty of Chiefs fans who feel he should get the ball more. Are you familiar with the "Free Jamaal Charles" movement? The coaching staff is pretty secretive about all that but here's what we know: Thomas Jones is and has been a productive player so getting him touches isn't necessarily a bad thing. Jamaal Charles has had minor shoulder issues in his career so there's perhaps some concern he can't handle a full load. But the ultimate reason these guys split carries is because the Chiefs wanted both of them to be as fresh as possible in December and January. It's looking like that's the case.

The Chiefs seem to have more players from the SEC than any other team in the NFL. Do you think that is just the way things have fallen in the draft, or is there another reason?

Mgrex was nice enough to answer some questions about his Colts for us.

The popular question is what is wrong with Peyton Manning? My question: Is there really anything wrong with Peyton or is this just a result of the guys he is currently playing with?

Manning is pressing more than normal, but I think that is a direct result of the guys playing around him. He has to have a certain level of trust with the receivers, and everyone that he trusts, except for Reggie Wayne, is hurt: Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai, Austin Collie, Anthony Gonzalez. He's having a hard time trusting all the new guys, and it's showing. Once he stops pressing, and realize his teammates aren't terrible, he'll get back to playing like Manning.

What is the biggest match-up you think the Titans will be able to take advantage of?

Kevin Ewoldt from Hogs Haven was nice enough to answer some questions about his beloved Washington Redskins.

1. You mentioned on the radio show Wednesday night that you want to see this team blown up. Do you think Dan Snyder would ever be willing to let that happen? If he does, is Shannahan the right coach for the re-build?

It will never happen. There is too much money at stake and Shanahan has too much pride to coach a losing team. If Shanahan ever decided to do it, Snyder would have to go along. After meeting with Snyder personally, and Shanahan's track record of demaning full control of personnel, Snyder is only along for the ride.

2. How do the fans in DC feel about Albert Haynesworth?

They're sick of him. On one hand, he's not being used to his strengths, but on the other hand, when every other teammate was in DC during the spring and summer months to learn the new playbooks, #92 bailed. Even for the mandatory camps. He lost a lot of friends.

3. Can you give us the facts (guaranteed money, etc.) on Donovan McNabb's new contract?

Rich Tandler of CSNWashington.com was nice enough to answer some questions for us about the Washington Redskins.  This should be the first of two 5 Questions posts about the Redskins.

1. Is it smart for this team to lock McNabb up long term?

It was smart for them to do it the way they did it. It turned out that the initial reports of a $40 million guarantee were highly misleading; that money only is guaranteed in case of a catastrophic, career-ending injury. The way they deal is structured the Redskins could cut McNabb loose at any time with minimal salary cap consequences. The deal keep McNabb off of the free agent market in 2011, preventing him from being by far the cream of the quarterback crop, which now will be headlined by Derrick Anderson.

Although the Redskins can get out of the deal next spring and be out only the $3.75 million signing bonus they just paid him, it seems likely that the contract will keep McNabb around through 2012. Look for the Redskins to hedge their bets by drafting a quarterback and giving him some time to develop behind McNabb.

2. Snyder has always been a guy that loves to bring in the big names. It doesn't seem to be working. Do you think it is time for the Redskins to blow it up and re-build? Why or why not?

Dave Halprin from Blogging the Boys was nice enough to take the time to answer some questions about the Cowboys for us.

The Titans defensive scheme is built around the front 4 getting pressure. Tell us about the Cowboys offensive line and how they will be able to protect Tony Romo.

Although much-discussed in the offseason and sometimes maligned, the Cowboys offensive line has played well when they've had their starting five on the field together. Romo has only been sacked once on the season and last week against the Texans there was nary a hint of pressure on him. The Cowboys line is great at picking up a standard pass rush and will usually dominate if a team only brings four rushers. They struggle when teams run blitzes, especially delayed or well-disguised blitzes, or when teams run stunts and other tricky calls. If a defense is creative and aggressive, they'll fare better. Other things have also helped the Cowboys line in not giving up sacks; mainly Romo's ability to sense and elude pressure then throw accurately while on the move. Also, Romo seems to be getting the ball out very quickly this year, he has a lot of talent at wide receiver/tight end and is finding open targets.

Is Jason Witten healthy? How has he been playing this season?

Jason Witten is fully healthy this week, the bye week really helped with him and a few other players. He's mostly played just as he always, which is elite level. Many people don't realize how good Witten is in the blocking part of his duties. The guy is a superior run-blocker. Of course, though, he makes his money in the receiving department, and he's been doing what he always does, and that's getting open. He hasn't had a dominant game this year, but he's still the second-most targeted receiver on the team and has the second-most catches (behind Miles Austin in both categories).

Wade Phillips seems to be on the hot seat every season. How secure was his job heading into the season? Is there a magic number in wins or round of the playoffs this team needs to get to for Phillips to keep his job?

1.  The Cardinal run defense has been solid this year.  How do you like their chances at containing Chris Johnson?  

The run defense started off great through the first six games but has been falling hard the last four. I see it going two ways on Sunday. Either the Cardinals play smart, and not allow a big run, but Johnson still has over 100 rushing yards. Or the Cardinals will miss tackles and get caught out of position a few times, in which Johnson runs for 150+.

2.  Anquan Boldin is a guy that a lot of Titans fans coveted this last offseason.  Is he happy in Arizona now?  Talk about what he means to this team and Larry Fitzgerald.

Sorry for the delay getting this posted.  Here are my 5 questions to Jake from Battle Red Blog and his answers:

Chris Johnson had a huge day in the first game.  Why are the Texans better equipped to stop him this time than they were in week 2?

Having better safety play is a huge improvement.  Free agent signee Bernard Pollard has played incredibly well since starting in week 4.  Also, rookie corner back Glover Quin is physical and plays the run effectively.  I don't think that the Texans will "shut down" Chris Johnson, but if they can keep him from singlehandedly beating us the way he did in week 2, I think it gives us a much better shot.  The last part of shutting down Chris Johnson is jumping out to some sort of lead.  If the offense can put up some points early, that will force Vince Young to beat us through the air rather than just pound the ball.

What in the world is going on with Steve Slaton?  Any shot he returns to his 2008 form down the stretch?

I was able to catch up with the elusive Brian at Buffalo Rumblings to ask him 5 questions about his Buffalo Bills.

1.  How much does Trent Edwards improve the Bills offense?

He really doesn't. Edwards-led Bills offenses have been slightly better moving the chains this season, but moving the chains doesn't help you much if you can't score, and this is a Bills offense that has really struggled to put the ball in the paint. In addition, Trent has developed a nauseating (to us, anyway) tendency to play incredibly tentative football - he's jittery in the pocket, doesn't take enough shots down the field, and doesn't let his receivers make plays. Still, he's a better option than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Needless to say, Buffalo will be looking at quarterbacks next off-season.

2.  Talk about what the T.O. experiment has been like.  Do you expect him to play this week?
