NFC South Morning Jog: Jonathan Vilma Battles with Another Writer Via Twitter

Each morning, I like to start the day off with a workout—usually a morning jog. I can clear my head, plan my day and think about what’s going on around the NFC South.

New Orleans Saints

Jonathan Vilma isn't afraid to argue with reporters via Twitter. Last month he went round-and-round with Sports Illustrated's Peter King. Now he's bickering with Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jeff Schultz.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the NFL's evidence on the Saints' bounty program wasn't compelling? Jim Litke wrote that Roger Goodell "better have the goods."

Atlanta Falcons

D. Orlando Ledbetter posted his post-Ovie Mughelli Falcons depth chart.

Scott Carasik ranked Matt Ryan's weapons in the passing game for the upcoming season. Thankfully, he put Roddy White at No. 1.

It's amazing to me how many people are overlooking White in favor of second-year receiver Julio Jones. While Jones has awesome upside, White's what makes this receiving corps special right now.

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers signed punter Nick Harris on Monday. The team also drafted punter Brad Nortman in the sixth round of last month's draft. This is normal for a team to create a sense of competition in camp.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Does Jordan Jefferson have enough upside to stick with the Bucs all season?

Here's a quick look at what new receiver Tiquan Underwood brings to the Buccaneers. Spoiler alert: special teams.

Head coach Greg Schiano said it's apparent that there is "a lot of upside" in LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson. The Bucs plan to work with Jefferson to see what they can produce.

Think the Bucs will improve on their 4-12 record from 2011? Here are five reasons why that could happen.
