I actually went to the draft this year it was cool, so I consider myself a guru and football nut. I am an egales fan but I talk sports without the heart . The giants are a good team I dont agree with a 6-10 record. Heres the thing lavar got Let go for a reason. Well see if he works out if he does thats a nasty linebacker core. Brandon short is a glorified special teams player. Just like Dhani JOnes which we got from you guys can we send him back please.
Santanio holmes is a draft pick that gets arrested he still has to porve himself as a pro and stay out of jail before you can say hes an asset to the team. David tyree is your best special teams threat I was impressed with him many times last year.
Eli manning Although I am an eagles fan I rooted for him last year beacuse he was my fantasy quaterback so I watched him closely. His year was medium at best. Thats ok cause hes gonna get better every year . But for a quaterback to make an impact meaning playoff run and with his paticular style he needs a couple more years develop.
Your O line was very good lasy year a big improvement from the year before.
Your Dline was great last year phenominal. Heres the thing you guys lost some Dtackles in the off season. Two good D tackles are the key to the whole defense. Those holes havent been replaced . Linebacking is better than last year deffineltly and healthier.
Last year your secondary and linebacking core where the achilies heels and Tiki cant do it all on offense. Plaxico is a very good reciever no TO, But talented. Although last year Tiki took it to another level.
You secondary had some good singings. Heres the thing Madison is good but not what he once was. Will demps is ok Rw Macquaters is a crafty vet near the end of his career. Lavar if he plays up to his potentional it will reak havoc. I can see 9 - 7 or 10-6. Your schedule is tougher this and the divison is tougher.
My pics go as follows and I know your not gonna like it.
1.Eagles Division Winner
2.Giants Wild Crad
3.Cowboys
4.Redskins
The first question ill ask you is who has the best QB over all in the division. Honestly I know it hurts to say it.
Heres the list
Dmac
Bledsoe
Eli
Brunell
Dmac is the best Qb in the NFC . Remember lets not be haters here look up the numbers and which QB has the best winning precentage in the past 6 years including playoffs. I am not saying Mcnabb is better than Payton By Far. BUt come playoff time Compare thier postseason Stats. I have a hard time not getting Payton mixed up with Jim Sorgi in the postseason.
Last year the giants sturggled with a half beaten injured egales defense. The last game we played you guys in you just beat us by a feild goal. We had Mike Mchanon at QB Ryan Moats at RB and no Brian Westbrook.
Half of our defnese was gone for the year . Two strating Corner backs and one of our safteys. When healthy our defense is one of best In the NFC Overall Our defnese is the best in the Nfc East no Doubt about it.
Our Secondary when healthy and it usually is considered the best Secondary in football . They are all pro Bowlers. The Giants get the nod on Dends. Are Dline overall is the best in the division. Now I know people will see this and go No Ffreaking Way lol. Just hear me out.
We have Jevon Kearse and Darren Howard On Dends now thats no Strahan and Usi but they are very good. Jevon hasnt had A good end Opposite from him since 04 and who was that guy oh Derrick Burgess. Yeah he lead the league in sacks unfortunately Our front office made that misatke and let go to the Raiders. But now Darren Howard Is pro Bowl caliber and The freak is on the other end . What ever Qb you are pressure will be coming from every where. To quote Tiki Barber. He said his toughest games is always against the eagles . he said after those games he feels the most beat up he ever has.
The eagles have alot of the pieces the Ginats are still building for so the eagles get the close edge in the division. The eagles Oline is the best in the division. The eagles have the best Qb in the division and Overall defense in the Division.
Our Dtackle depth is way better. We got Broderick Bunkley at Dt the 14th Pick Overall a real blue chipper and are first round pick last year was also a Dtackle last year so we are stacked at Dtackle. So yeah watch out. The Giants linebackers get the edge if healthy they will reak havoc with the run and blitz.
The Redskins our gonna be last in the division and I will tell you why. The have no Qb and had a last Place schedule last year and the division is always getting collectivley better. Also They sign all these big names and it never works out. They have no depth on the Oline and Dline. The online isnt up to Job Gibbs stadards yet.
The cowboys who are hated by all. There offense automatically gets better with a TO who's doesnt ? There weakness is an inconsistent young defense and A weak blind side on the oline not protecting bledsoe I.E losing Larry Allen etc etc. The scouting report on Bledsoe is he does not react well to pressure I.E interceptions and fumbels. So if you pressure bledsoe you will contain the T.O threat simply beacuse bledsoe is not mobile he likes kurt warner with a better arm Gianrs fans know about Mr Warner. If you look at Terell Owners career he always has played with a mobile quaterbacks Mcnabb and Gracia which allows you to expose breakdowns in a defense and buy more time to throw the ball down field. Thats something he wont have with bledsoe. By the way Gracia is an eagle know and gives us the best depth at QB, If bledsoe gets time their Offense will be hard to contain defensivley for anyone.
There running game is good at times but is spotty so I have them at third finishing behind the Giants and not making the playoffs. But they could flip with Giants easily. Remember the same thing happen to the cowboys last year with Redskins. The Redskins stole the first game and crushed them in the second. The same thing could happen as concerns the Cowboys Giants. Mainly because of T.O if him and bledsoe are on the same page Watch out. Plus TO has a rep for crushing all and any giants secondary The playoff game where the feild goal snap was botched and when he was on the eagles.
Basically The divsion is gonna be tough and its a tough one to call everybody has gotten betrer in some form or another and everbody in the NFC east will be beating up on each other. So its gonna either be the Giants or Eagles. I am going with the birds. The differnce make is the QB and Secondary.
How that for getting the sports forum going?
wow. longest ezabel post ever?
very thoughtful post. While i don't agree with all of your points, your post is very well thought out and i apreciate the thouroughness
btw, santanio holmes isn't on the giants, he's on the steelers. the giants drafted sinorice moss
haha, i had to read this in two sittings.
I get those two mixed up and I dont know why. I was doing it all day atthe draft
mcnabb is the best qb in the division, but eli will def be better than bledsoe at the end of this year.
I am glad to see you have come around lets say hes the best in the nfc as far as qb and in the top three in the league. And bledsoe still might do better well see that will be close.
still putting your money on bledsoe? Close even?
