Good Bye Eagles, Hello Cowboys In The NFC East?

I expect a playoff berth next year.

I expect it to happen, but I do worry that if there is no free agency and our O-line has gone down hill as it did last year and we have to head into the year with the same guys; well then I have a large concern, because they were way too inconsistent and porous.

Given the new Defensive Coaches and their aggressive mindset I am very Hopeful that we rise up and dominate.

I would suggest that Garrett tell the backs that the order they will play is Choice, Jones, Barber. I would have Felix learn to run hard at the point of attack (since single tacklers bring him down a lot… in other words he needs to be thinking he needs to learn to squirm through a hole, wiggle, push, drive and scratch out extra yards, and if he has enough room to juke someone then fine but until you can do the grunt work you aren’t an every down back!).
Then bring in some of that Green Bay passing attack! Our team design and make up is more fast oriented, even our backs. So bring on the attack!

the arrow for us is looking up. However, the Iggles and Gints have been run better for longer. It’s not like we play in the NFC West.

Let’s see what Garrett can do. I’ll be ecstatic if he turns us back into a good ball club.

call me a dreamer….

Im still worried if there will be any football next year.

Our offense still put up top 5 yards this year and more points than last year, so I believe we’ll be just fine with how we run things on “O”. Our “D”, however, will probably be in a state of transition in regards to 2-3 new starters and a new defensive coach. I do think that we will be able to better in the areas of pressuring the QB (sacks especially) and turnovers, but unless we significantly upgrade the safety positions (Free safety to be specific) we will undoubtably give up alot of yards with big plays and somewhere around the ballpark of 20 points a game. As long as our offense can put up points and control the ball without turning it over, I think we will be in the playoffs and be a dominant team in 2 years hopefully playing for a 6th title.
Also, ST will have to be better. Dez will probably not be returning kicks regularly if he starts at WR , so someone will have to replace him there.
But I think we can take the East because of our schedule and new found nastiness under Garrett and Ryan.

Cruel mockery?
Punishment for hubris?
Part of a lesson in humility?
All of the above.

WE ARE F’N BACK
we got a real staff in place we kill this draft pick up a few pieces in free agency
watch we are back

Dallas still has a lot of holes to fill. If they can fix the O-line and the secondary, then I think they have a good chance of getting there.

The cowboys should have won 10 SBs since 1995 according to offseason hype. Although I like our chances better than the last couple of years, I will continue to take a wait and see approach.

good job, adam. boy you need to teach a class.

i don’t see the iggles winning the east three years inna row. i think the giants were a little exposed. and everything is based on their o-line. i’m betting they begin to show cracks next year. who knows with the deadskins? they have the talent. but their qb situation is in flux. why not us? we have talent, an easier schedule, probably the best d-coordinator in the division, maybe the best qb in the division (i’ll give you vick if you wanna quibble over it), the best defensive player in the division …. we have a good a chance as anybody.

newman needs to be placed in nickel situations at this stage in his career. also besides darren woodson i cant remember the last bal-hawk safety this team had. forcing interceptions and basically covering deep passes has been a huge achilles heel for this team for awhile

2007 – playoffs
2008 – no playoffs
2009 – playoffs
2010 – no playoffs
2011 – ?

We usually rebound and play well when experts aren’t predicting us to do anything and obviously no pressure to play in and host the SB this time. Hopefully we can fly under the radar and steal the headlines late.

I’m a big believer in Garrett and Romo, think 2011 should be a very good year for the Boys.

The team was four plays away from the playoffs last year

Roy’s fumble in NO
Gronkowski’s missed block against the Giants
The last play of the Zona game.
The hold at the end of the opener

If those plays go the other way this team is in the playoffs his year, hell if Romo stayed healthy Garrett probably isn’t HC this year. There’s other simple ways to improve the team:

Mark Colombo: He’s by far the worst starting OL in the league. Way below replacement, at this point even Sam Young would be a tangible upgrade. You don’t need Joe Thomas or a first round tackle to provide an upgrade over him, a merely average guy would be a noticeable improvement. There’s other needs along the OL, such as back up guards and depth at tackle…but that’s a problem that’s easily fixable.

Alan Ball: One of the worst defenders in the league. Absolutely atrocious. A second or third round safety would be a huge upgrade over him and greatly help the secondary.

The DL needs help with Igor being absolutely terrible, and Spears unable to provide a passrush, if they are able to sign even a Shaun Rodgers and move Ratliff to DE that helps the pass rush which helps the secondary.

This team had a back up QB for most of the season a HC that had the team absolutely unprepared to play on Sundays and a team that looked entirely unmotivated and they were still four plays away from the playoffs last year. I haven’t even mentioned the possibility of Asomougha and a first helping the team out either. Ryan has mentioned Hatcher and Brent by name with some depth at NT and DE I think Hatcher and Brent can be key contributors.
