As I said a few times, in this division every team has a shot to win.It will be a dog fight and whoever wins it will be a front runner for the Lombardi.

The Eagles have some good players on their OL and added two guys I would have loved Dallas to have. Their DL is solid.


McNabb over Bledsoe but not by as much as people think. If Bleadsoe has time he can pick apart a defense better than McNabb can he just cant get by without protection as well as McNabb can

Westbrook over JJ. Just because JJ has not proven that he can stay healthy. I would rate MB3 over Moats. I like Moats I also went to LA Tech and he was my Homer pick that I wanted Dallas to get but OH Well. I think Moats is too much like Westbrooks and does not offer anything new.

TO over Brown while Brown is another play I like he played well at times last year but needs to do it game to game.

Glenn over Gaffeny. Gaffney is good Glenn is simply better

Witten over LJ Smith. Smith has all the tools needed but Witten has just out preformmed him.

Eagles OL over Cowboys OL. Dallas has a lot if that if they pan out could move this to a push.

Dallas DL = Eagles DL They both have good starters and solid depth. The Eagles should put up better #s because they are a 4-3 line instead of a 3-4 line but Ellis was able to get 8 sacks last year which was more than the Steelers whole DL had.

Dallas LB over Eagles LB. Dallas has a ton of players here even with Dats retiring. This is kinda like the DL where Dallas LBs are asked to make the plays and Eagles or not. The one differnce is that besides from Trotter they have not gotten much out of the other guys.

Dallas DB = Eagles DB. This one I will get some flack over but our CB are about the same. While your have been to the Pro Bowl our should have been there last year. Dawkins and Roy cancel each other out and our other safeties are not that much better than one anothers.

So by this Dallas by one. NOt much diffence their cause even some of the teams wins are not that much better than the other teams so more than likely they will split the seires and finish with in a game of each other. And then meet in the playoffs home team winning.

Three pro-bowl DB's compared to how many for dallas? nah that's a certain + for us. and our OL will be the best in the division if not the conference.The DL's are hard to gauge being that both teams run different defenses however IMO we have better depth.and Brown was a rookie last year, in two years he'll be the man, and T.O. will be gone.

Agreed...

All except the TO and Brown thing. I think TO, while he may not be a Cowboy in 2 years, will still be better than Brown.

As it has been pointed out to me that was in the past last year you had one and the was because someone got hurt. We also had one last year and he started. The tell will be this year if Newman has another year like he had last year he will be there.

Let get this right, your'e knockin' two of the DB's cause they were pro-bowl DB's two years ago? not last year.

I agree to an extent. The Redskins do this every year, they add person after person after person and what happens? They always have the talent but they have not an ounce of chemistry at all. The biggest hurdle they will have will be just about the only spot they failed to address and that's the QB. Brunnell at the end of last season looked AWFUL and old, he couldn't hit anyone and the HC and OC already said they'll be looking to get last years 1st round pick Campbell significant time. Brunnells days as a starter are numbered and with basically a rookie QB with no chemistry the Redskins will do just what they did last year IMO.

The Cowboys as well IMO left too many hole open in too many significant areas IMO starting with the OL. There are too many if's to have heading into a season. Their 2 T's are older and coming off of very bad injuries in which they both missed a lot of time. The LG spot was vacated by Larry Allen for Kyle Loshier (sp) that is a nice drop off even at Larry's age. The RG is another aging veteran that looked like he lost a step or two last year after coming over from GB for lots of $$ and the center spot has been a huge question mark for Dallas ever since Stephonoski left. Also IMO the DB's are a liability for Dallas, Henry was beat a lot last year and Newman is average at best and is not nearly what they thought he was when the picked him IMO. Roy Williams is a great talent but a run stopper and is not much in coverage and whoever takes the FS spot is going to have a lot to learn.

The Giants IMO needed a #2 WR, at the end of last year all teams were doing was doubling Shockey and running a LBer under Burress and they were both almost nonexistent. Their DT's as well could hurt them and if I don't like the idea of Arrington playing SLB, he has been known (and benched) before to go off on his own and ignore schemes. If he is responsible for covering the TE's this is something that can't happen. I'm not making it a negative but it sure could be especially in a division that has very good receiving TE's.

The Eagles have health now. Mcnabb had hernia's that were taken care of and it appears all the key components are healthy. You can say what you want about the WR's but like many have said they did it before with them. The DB's in the division at least have not gotten that much better and a QB like McNabb doesn't fix in on one receiver anyway. He will be able to run again this year and do what he does best. As far as missing T.O. that's fine, look back at the year before T.O. and the year with him and let me know what year we scored more.....I already know. The D is healthy and our strength, we just may have the best DL in the league now and with some of the OL play with in the division that could be bad. My only concern is (so far) they have not grabbed a big RB. I feel very comfortable with Moats and Westy but I would like a bruiser to complement them and that still could come.

So I guess I really don't agree to an extent, when we are healthy we are at the top of the NFL IMO as far as a team. The lose of T.O. is not as bad as people make it out to be and last year was the exception and not the rule.

These are JMO though.

I like what you posted,and your'e right about the Redskins in so far as being the "long shot". top to bottom though the East can run with the best of the rest. and with what happen to us last year,an injury here and there and an a-hole trashin' team chemistry. we were favored and ended up last. if this happens again to whoever, then it's wide open for the other three.
