Overviews according to BS
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys- Much inmproved team under Parcells last year.This year the division gets tougher, and they won't have that weak of a schedule as they did last season. Defensivley, this team looks in pretty good shape, and a few additions on offense should help. Keyshawn tends to play big for Parcells, and parcells knows how to use him. Johnson will never scare anybody for his bigplay ability, but he will move the chains consistantly. Add to the mix an intrigueing prospect at RB, and Dalss offense could be a lot better. Let's face it, Hambrick was never worth a squat. I don't look for Drew Henson to be much of a factor this season. He's been out of football too long. Dallas could make the playoffs, depending on what kind of season they get from the running game. If they do not improve significantly over last yearm, they won't make it.
NY Giants- Welcome to the frying pan Manning. You wanted it, you demanded it, you got it. Let's break down what you have going for you. You have a running game that would be more than adequate...except that no one has told Barber that it's in his job description to hold onto the ball. Recievers with outstanding physical skill....except they have a nasty habit of droping the ball too. Shockey...well, shockey will be wonderful if you can keep his attetnion from yelling at his own fans. Defensivly, this team lost it's leading tackler, and just didn't look like they cared for most of last season. They also whined about being worked too hard in the offseason. Bottomdwellers, and don't look to next year either kid....all the talent that should have been coming to help you will be playing with Rivers in SD.Oh, and Warner just may take your job in pre-season.Your team has no mental toughness, but you should fit in there. Dumbass.
Eagles- This should be a simple matter of addition and subtraction. First lets look at what they added. Let's see...they got Terrell Owens....who last year couldn't have caught a cold if he'd been standing naked in the arctic. In the rain. Not only that, he demands the ball constantly, which does not fit Philly's style of offense. Can he keep his mouth shut? Maybe. Does he have talent? Absolutly. Is this a lock for a much improved Eagles? Nope. Besides, after the way he disrespected ray Lewis and the ravens, if they play Baltimore, look for the last play of Owens season to be a crossing route over the middle...
Next, they overpaid Jevone Kerse (Damn filter) This guy hasn't been the freak since his rookie season. he's brittle, easily injured, and nowhere near the dominant player his salary says he is. Now, what did they lose? Both starting CBs. You know, the two reasons their defense was worth spit in the first place? Well, now you have no corners in a division that has Toomer, Hilliard, Antonio Bryant, Laverneus Coles, Rod Gardner....oh, and their linebacking corp susck too. A three man show that ain;'t goinna sniff the playoffs all season long.
Skins- *HOMER ALERT* Skins got better almost everywhere. They now have a legitimate feature back in Portis, a talented and deep recieving corp, and a coach to put it all together. Oh, and Spurriers retarded sandlot blocking schemes are gone now too. Defensivley, the loss of Bailey will not be felt much provided Springs can stay healthy. Michael Barrow is the NFC leading tackler from a year ago, and a huge improvement over Trotter. He's also got the age to settle down a young Redskin defense. Taylor will hit anything that moves. But, sadly, I still look for a soft D-line, which means teams will run the ball on them. However, with a committment to the running game, this team will make the playoffs this year. Gibbs is as good a coach as Parcells is, and has more talent than Dallas did last seasoin to work with.
Skins win the division, partly due to their improvement, partly due to the Eagles collapse. Dallas runs a close second with a chance to take the title. The Giants and Eagles...god help their fans
