Offensively, the lack of a running game and the uncharacteristically leaky pass protection that left Favre exposed to opposing pass rushers for the first time this season.

Last years final roster is here This is important to see who wont be coming back: Mo Williams, Jameer Nelson, Devin Harris, David West, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis. Even with 26 spots last year there were some notable snubs and this year will be no different.
