I am more of a LB guy when it comes to Tecmo so I can only really comment on LB's and obvious secondaries like the Cinn and TB. With that being said, here is my 2 cents on the D rankings.
I like the Eagles D alot with the front 7, secondary is a little weak for sure but you can do a lot of damage with Brown to the point that the WR's don't have enough time to be a factor. I also like using the Jets with Byrd and the Saints with the dome patrol. I think Mia D is way too high in the rankings. I think TB's D should be ranked alot higher just for Crack Haddix alone.
In terms of O, I like a balanced attack for sure. Most of the top teams in O make sense but I think CHi is ranked a little too high because their passing game sucks and I would bring TB up because Anderson is underrated and Carrier is a good WR. I also like Cobb's popcorn ability and Hall is a great TE in the game. There are some teams I would bring up a couple notches like Pitt, SD, GB and CLE and I would drop the Jets down quite a bit as well as DEN, MIA and DAL
