NFC East Rankings

The NFC East is the most competitive division in the league with four teams that have experience and talent.

1. Dallas Cowboys. The ‘Boys are out to prove that there’s not such thing as the Super Bowl jinx. It would be better if they prove that they don’t choke in the playoffs. They’ll open up against division rival Washington. It’ll be an interesting match-up at QB with Tony Romo and Donovan McNabb. Romo has beaten McNabb five out of seven times but that was when McNabb was with the Eagles. It might be a different story this season.

The Cowboys have a difficult schedule ahead of them. Let’s hope that it will toughen them up just in time for the playoffs. Washington’s 4th pick LT Trent Williams will be matched-up against All-Pro DeMarcus Ware. We’re sure Ware will welcome Willaims in the league nicely.

2. Philadelphia Eagles. New starter Kevin Kolb has been very solid for the Eagles but he’s not McNabb. Philadelphia will struggle for the first few games of the season because their O-line has been hit with several injuries. Center Jamaal Jackson has not played in the preseason.

The Eagles will open up against the Green Bay Packers, who many have penciled in as favorites to win the NFC. Philadelphia’s defense also needs to work. But they are still better than the Redskins given Washington’s new personnel adjustments.

3. Washington Redskins. Now the Redskins can finally do what they were expected to do this season, play football instead of being a drama episode. Adding Mike Shanahan and QB Donovan McNabb is a big improvement. To be a great football team though, the Redskins need to stop messing around with the whole Albert Haynesworth situation and let the All-Pro DT prove his worth on the field.

Shanahan has given mixed signals as to whether Haynesworth will start or not against Dallas. He needs to face the fact that Haynesworth is much more useful on the field than off it.

4. New York Giants. New York also has O-line problems dating back to last year. Ranking the Giants this low in their division is pretty stupid since their team has not made major overhauls to their roster or personnel. All of us are wondering though which Eli Manning will show up this season.
