NFL Network to Review the NFC East Today

My biggest problem with Sharpe's NFC East assessment is that he picked the Pukes to win the division. Are you kidding me!

Everyone is. It's not anything new. They think that TO is going to put them over the top. Apparently he couldn't do that for a way-better-than-the-Cowboys Eagles team, so why do think they he can do it for them?

Where else did they improve? I think their line on both sides of the ball is going to be worse...And they got rid of Glover.

You know what, I'm happy no one's picking the Skins to win the division. I don't want them to jinx us.

In this division, regardless of what happens, at least two teams, mayeb three, will be suprised if they don't make the playoffs. It's a real crap shoot.

I'm quietly optomistic

BUT at least this year our strong safety won't get bitched by alstott or LT trying to make a game saving tackle.

You know that's what I was thinking. Getting Archuleta should take care of the big running plays that the defense was allowing last season. That's probably gibbs's intention anyway. Those big runs really hurt last season and might have been the weakest part of the defense.

When the middle of our d-line was banged up that's when teams were finding success on the ground against us.

Having a healthy Griffin and Salave'a in the middle makes all the difference in the world.

Let all of these media people have their say. Let them doubt Gibbs and Co. It will make it all that much sweeter when the games start.

I dont see the Cowboy's...maybe I'm blind. The Giants are our biggest competition. The Eagles could bounce back. The Cowboys will finish in the basement of this division IMO.

how can you say that both lines are worse? just because we let go of Allen? we borught Fabini to help at the RT position that hurth us last year we have Adams back and you saw how mutch it hurth not having him the second time we face you guys from a 0 sack performance to a 7 sack if Adams and Rivera are 100% and with kosier there it will be an upgrade.

Also the Line don't get me wrong Gliver is 1 of the best players to use the Cowbosy uniform but his a 1 gap tackle not a NT he ddin't fit with the 3-4 system so he had to be let go we've got ferguson there and also M. Stanley our draft pick to be his backup and with Canty, Spears in their second year and allready showed great potential and to that you add Ellis and Hatcher as a more nickle treath the line looks great

and the LB corps you have Ware, B.James, FA adquisition Ayodele and 1st round pick Carpenter really you can't say they didn't improve.

You can argew wich team may b better but you can't argew that DBoiz have improved this offseason in an allready good team.

Like I can't arguew that the adquisition of Sauders, Lloyd and Randall won't make your offense better

D'BOYZ-

I will agree that you guys had a good draft, and your LB corps should be improved. My only caution is that when you rely on a rookie for immediate impact - and Carpenter really does need to be that guy for you guys - you take a big chance. Most rookies don't get a chance to impact the game in their first year - even in a more instictual position like LB. If Carpenter isn't the impact guy you expect, it will adversely affect the whole defense (one of the curses of the 3-4 is that it requires that LB group to shine, or everyone around them suffers.)

Can we at least agree that the Eagles are in for a long year?
