Ready for some NFL football? Here's the first of a six-part NFL season preview

By Jake Dowling, Icon intern
This is a six-part series preview of the upcoming 2012 NFL season. Each part will be broken down by division for each conference, followed by a two-part series on playoff predictions.

Each team is broken down one-by-one under three categories: A team’s coach and his staff, a team’s quarterback and the weapons around him, and a team’s defense. These are the three main ingredients to determining a team’s success in the season.
Training camps throughout the NFL start next week, followed by the Hall of Fame Game featuring the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 5 in Canton, Ohio.
