Inside the AFC.(NFL)

BRONCOS WR Darius Watts gets out of breaks quickly and has good speed but hasn't shown adequate dedication. The team used fewer three-receiver sets last season because it lacked the appropriate personnel, but new coordinator Mike Heimerdinger likely will use that grouping more if Watts-or a newcomer-proves to be a quality No. 3 receiver. ...

DT Dewayne Robertson might have trouble adapting if the JETS switch to a 3-4. He's probably not fast enough to play in space as an end, and he has no experience as a pure nose tackle. Tying up blockers isn't his forte. ... BROWNS DL Nick Eason figures to play an expanded role in 2006, perhaps even starting if LE Orpheus Roye isn't re-signed. Eason, who came on late last season, has the size (6-3,310) to play nose tackle in the 3-4 and is athletic enough to play end. He needs to be more consistent and play with more of a mean streak. ... The TEXANS re-signed G Fred Weary, and the hope is new line coaches and better protection schemes will help Weary improve his technique. He is targeted to be a backup. ... The BILLS pursued SLB Jeff Posey three years ago because of his pass-rushing skills, but he had just three sacks last season and often dropped into coverage. He has good size (6-4, 241) and athletic ability, and the new coaches need to make the most of his talent. ... Despite missing three games in 2005, STEELERS OLB Clark Haggans recorded nine sacks and applied consistent pressure. Haggans has a quick first step and uses a low-body lean to get around blockers. ... Look for COLTS defensive coaches to again talk about moving DE Robert Mathis to outside linebacker, where he would be on the field more. But Tony Dungy doesn't want to tinker with Mathis, who has thrived in his limited role as a pass-rushing specialist. ... The RAIDERS still aren't sure what they have in OLB Sam Williams because he keeps getting hurt. Williams is fast and strong and adept in coverage. He also does a good job of spying on quarterbacks who are running threats. If Williams stays healthy, coordinator Rob Ryan will be able te employ the 4-3 scheme he prefers. ... There is heat on BENGALS starting DTs Bryan Robinson and John Thornton to ramp up their production. Robinson is stout at the point of attack but lacks explosiveness and doesn't run stunts well. Thornton is disruptive at times and splits double-teams but tends to wear down when opponents run at him. ... The CHARGERS have one of the better field-goal kickers in Nate Kaeding, but his kickoffs are an issue. Kaeding, who was bothered by a hip injury last year, has produced only five career touchbacks. The team is conceding too many yards on returns, and it might have to ...
