Vote: AFC North Preview


The AFC North has a little of everything this season: revamped defenses, a new coach in Cleveland and some young quarterbacks (for the most part). All of which should conspire to create a wide-open division.

Romeo Crennel takes the reins for the Browns, the Bengals and Ravens made changes on the defensive side and a trio of young passers will be under the spotlight in Baltimore, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

Will Crenell lead the Browns back to respectability? Is the Ravens' defense ready to once again be a dominant force? Which of the youthful passers in the division will have the best season?
