A team roster in the NFL is comprised of 53 players. Football more than any other sport Clelin Ferrell Jersey , really demands the contribution of the entire unit for a team to succeed. There are so many facets of a game and so much that can go wrong that everybody has to put in their part. One sentence you'll often hear from Bill Belichick when he's mic'd up on the sidelines is a very simple phrase; "just do your job!" That's because it's when all 11 guys on the field for a team, be it their offensive, defensive or special teams unit are all doing their jobs is when a play will be successful.Throughout history though, franchises have stumbled upon one to a handful of great players on their roster at the same time, but failed to surround them with the supporting cast needed to succeed. One player can't do it all by himself. If you're a quarterback, you need a solid receiving corps, a tough offensive line and a running game to support you when you get in trouble. If you're a defensive back, no matter how good your coverage skills are, you need a pass rush up front, because you can't cover a 6-foot-5 wide receiver forever. Eventually Josh Oliver Jersey , he'll get away from you. If you're a running back, you need your offensive line to open up lanes for you and you need somewhat of a threat with the passing game so defenses won't just load the box to stop you. Heck, if you're a great kicker, to really be noticed, you have to get an opportunity to win games with a clutch field goal so people will notice you. Nobody cares if you kicked five field goals in a 38-15 loss.This list of 15 players who were too good for their teams is comprised of guys who were elite talents in their time, but never had the proper support around them to contend for championships. Sometimes these players left their underachieving teams to find success elsewhere, while others stuck it out, for better or for worse. This list isn't just guys who never won a Super Bowl. Some great players are in fact on teams suitbale for their talent, but the team just came up short in big games. These guys were often on teams that they had to carry and the organization just never gave them the proper supporting cast. Week 1 is in the rear-view mirror, and the Cincinnati Bengals are set to host the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night to kick off week 2.Last Week: 8-7-1Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Baltimore (-1) vs. CincinnatiKeep an eye on AJ Green http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/quincy-williams-ii-jersey , who has averaged 99.3 receiving yards in his last seven games against the Ravens. In that time, has has caught six touchdowns.Pick: Cincinnati (+1)Atlanta (-6) vs. CarolinaMatt Ryan played pretty poorly against the Eagles on Opening Night, and the losses of Keanu Neil and Deion Jones are really going to hurt the Falcons long term. However, Atlanta & Ryan will bounce back this week in a fairly important early-season NFC South duel.Pick: Atlanta (-6)New Orleans (-9) vs. ClevelandI’m all about the bounce back narrative this week. New Orleans got embarrassed at home against an underdog last week. It won’t happen again.Pick: New Orleans (-9)Houston (-2) vs. TennesseeThe recovery process for Deshaun Watson off a torn ACL will definitely take some time, especially behind a poor offensive line. He looked pretty rusty and tentative against the Pats in Week 1.Pick: Tennessee (+2)Washington (-5.5) vs. IndianapolisAlex Smith looked solid last week in Arizona, and this is another favorable matchup for him as the Redskins look to start the season 2-0.Pick: Washington (-5.5)Pittsburgh (-4.5) vs. Kansas CityPatrick Mahomes looked fantastic against the Bolts in Carson last week. However, Big Ben is a totally different QB at home and should put up some numbers against the Chiefs‘ secondary.Pick: Pittsburgh (-4.5)Los Angeles Chargers (-7) vs. BuffaloJosh Allen time in Buffalo!Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-7)New York Jets (-3) vs. MiamiJets haven’t been a home favorite since December 5, 2016 against the Colts, per Odds Shark. The Lions get knocked down a peg in their home opener.Pick: Miami (+3)Green Bay (-1.5) vs. MinnesotaMan, I have a hard time betting against Aaron Rodgers after what he did last week. If him & Davante Adams (shoulder) were near 100% Ryquell Armstead Jersey , I would probably go Packers. However, the Vikings have so much talent that I have trouble seeing a hobbled Rodgers scoring enough off them.Pick: Minnesota (+1.5)Philadelphia (-3) vs. Tampa BayIf the NFL season ended after Week 1, Ryan Fitzpatrick would be NFL MVP. But it doesn’t.Pick: Philadelphia (-3)Los Angeles Rams (-13) vs. ArizonaRams, off a short week, facing a team that got embarrassed a week earlier? Seems like the ingredients for a tight game.Pick: Arizona (+13)San Francisco (-6) vs. DetroitIf the Lions don’t at least keep this one close, the grumblings about Matt Patricia in Detroit will only continue to grow louder and louder.Pick: Detroit (+6)New England (EV) vs. JacksonvilleTo me it comes down to: Tom Brady or Blake Bortles? I’ll always take Brady.Pick: New England (EV)Denver (-6) vs. OaklandI don’t know why so many people wrote off the Broncos from AFC West contention. Case Keenum will limit turnovers on the offensive side & keep them in a lot of games this year.Pick: Denver (-6)Dallas (-3) vs. New York GiantsThis one should be low-scoring, and close.Pick: New York Giants (+3)Chicago (-3) vs. SeattleThe Bears surprised a whole lot of people with their performance in the 1st half last week, and Khalil Mack looked tremendous. If Trubisky can show improvement in year 2, they could continue surprise some folks.Pick: Chicago (-3)
