Rank the NFC East teams position by position....

05-18-2009, 11:01 PM

Looking at the Redskins, Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles projected lineups as of today how would you rank these teams 1-4 position by position?

Heres my rankings....

QB - 1. Eagles 2. Cowboys 3. Giants 4. Redskins
I still think McNabb is the best QB in the NFC East. Romo is too up and down to be rated ahead of McNabb but he is better than both Manning and Campbell. I gave Eli a slight edge over Campbell just because of his playoff experience and SB ring. I do think Campbell can move up on this list if he can play well in a contract year.

RB - 1. Cowboys 2. Redskins 3. Eagles 4. Giants
Its really hard to rank the NFC East RBs. All four teams have talent and you could very easily put the Giants at #1. I put the Boys at the top because of their three headed monster of Barber, Jones, and Choice. I think the Cowboys will get back to the running game this year and it will be huge for them. I put the Skins at #2 because of Portis. When hes healthy and the offensive line shows a pulse hes probably one of the top 3 backs in the game. The combo of Westbrook and McCoy got the edge over Jacobs/Bradshaw/Andre Brown. I do think Andre Brown in a couple years will be a pretty good RB though.

WR/TE - 1. Eagles 2. Cowboys 3. Redskins 4. Giants
The Eagles get the top spot here because I think their trio of WRs Jackson/Curits/Maclin will be very explosive this year. I also like Celek as a TE who can make some plays. I think hes better than most people think. I put the Cowboys at 2 over the Redskins because I think their WR core is a little better. They both have a nice pair of TEs Witten/Bennett and Cooley/Davis and solid #1s Moss and Roy Dub. I just believe the progression of Thomas and Kelly right now cant match the play of players like Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin. I have the Giants at 4 but in a couple years they will be #1. Young talent alone in the draft in Nicks, Barden, and Beckum should be huge for the Giants down the road. The problem with the Giants is their lack of a #1 WR.

OL - 1. Eagles 2. Cowboys 3. Giants 4. Redskins
I love the additions the Eagles made to their offensive line this offseason adding Stacy Andrews and Jason Peters. The Cowboys have a very solid offensive line as do the Giants. I put the Skins at 4th just because of injuries that have occured yearly and the hole at RT.

DL - 1. Giants 2. Redskins 3. Cowboys 4. Eagles
I give the edge to the Giants with all the talent on their line. Osi, Tuck, Canty, Kiwanuka, Robbins, Cofield, Bernard, and Alford. You could build two defensive lines and be effective with that talent. The Redskins finally upgraded their defensive line with the additions of Haynesworth and Orakpo. The Cowboys are also very solid with Ratliff in the middle and Spears/Igor at the two end spots. The Eagles are at 4 but they still have alot of talent and the #4 ranking doesnt do them justice.

LB - 1. Cowboys 2. Giants 3. Redskins 4. Eagles
The Cowboys with Ware and Co. get the top spot. The Giants made some nice additions with Boley and Sintim. The Redskins have a hole at SLB but Fletcher is one of the top MLB in the game. The Eagles have solid LBs that do their job but I rate them 4th among LBs in the NFC East.

DB - 1. Redskins 2. Eagles 3. Cowboys 4. Giants
The Redskins have a very good defensive backfield with Rogers, Hall, Smoot, Landry, and Horton. The Eagles have a nice trio of CBs in Samuel, Brown and Hobbs. They lost Dawkins but still have solid Ss in Mikell and Demps. The Cowboys improved alot with the additions of draft picks DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens (who was a steal) at CB and Sensabaugh at S. Add that to Newman, Jenkins, Scandrick, and Hamlin and the Cowboys have nice talent and depth in the defensive backfield. The Giants have a nice pair of CBs in Ross and Webster and a nice young S in Kenny Phillips but they are 4th on my list.

SpT - 1. Cowboys 2. Giants 3. Eagles 4. Redskins
The Cowboys easily have the best SpT with players like Folk and McBriar. The Giants are solid with players like Tynes and Feagles. The Eagles could have found a nice kicker who could unseat Akers in Sam Swank. The Redskins are last with big question marks at kicker and returner.

HC - 1. Eagles 2. Giants 3. Redskins 4. Cowboys
The Eagles and Giants both have very good coaches in Reid and Coughlin who get the most out of their players. The Skins and Boys both have coaches who are on the hot seat imo in Zorn and Phillips.

OVERALL - 1. Eagles 2. Cowboys 3. Redskins 4. Giants
The Eagles up and down the board have enough talent to get to yet another NFC Championship Game. The Cowboys and Redskins both are teams who could make the playoffs. I think it will come down to QB play and coaching for them. The Giants have enough talent but I just see a couple question marks that might slow them down this year.

The Giants have owned us the last few years. I have no idea how you have them 4th. They're a better team then us right now. Period.

The NFC East will be a 4 team race once again this year. Almost any order will look good to some and bad to others. For some reason I just dont like the Giants as much as the other 3 teams in the NFC East.

The Giants may have owned us last year (I dont see how they could of owned us in 2007 since we should of swept them) but even then they really didnt do anything special. The Skins offense just couldnt get it going.

I expect the Skins to be better this year in Zorns 2nd season calling the plays. I also see the Skins defense being better this year with the additions of Haynesworth and Orakpo. I think the Giants will have a harder time scoring this year without Burress and Ward. Those are the main reasons why I have the Skins at 3 and the Giants at 4.

Its just a prediction on my part though and you very easily could be right.

For some reason though I have a good (bad for us) feeling about Nicks. Sure the guy has a reputation as a prick but he seems like the type of player on the field that could succeed there. Plus he has a guy like Coughlin to keep him in line.

Opinions ....everyone has them,...maybe you should have swept the Giants but ya didn't .I'm trying to understand ....this year hasn't been played so we base our opinions on the last season played,correct,yet the Giants won the divison and had one of the best O lines in the league yet you rank them third ,2 running backs over 1000 yards and we are the worst RB team in your opinion.Romo has'nt won crap and yet you put Eli behind Romo,the only thing I will agree with you on is our WR's and DB's,basicly the rest is .........strickly opinion.

You think the Skins have the worst D-line in the division (umm, Haynesworth?) and the Giants in Kevin Boss have a better TE situation than we do?? That's the funniest thing I've seen all day. Cooley is 3x the TE Kevin Boss is 8 days a week.

Yes we should of swept them in 2007. We didnt I know this. I only said it because I didnt think a comment like the Giants have owned the Redskins over the last few years made any sense to me if you actually look at the games.

I rank my players and positions on alot of different factors. Yes the Giants won the division last year but last time I checked teams have made roster moves since the end of the 2008 season.

The Eagles offensive line should be great this year with the additions they have made. The Cowboys or Giants you could flip a coin on. They both have solid lines. I decided to give the Cowboys the edge.

Yes the Giants had two 1000 yard backs last year but last time I checked one of them plays for the Tampa Bay Bucs now. With Felix Jones healthy to pair with Marion Barber I gave the Cowboys 1. I think the Skins with Portis and the Eagles with Westbrook are better than Brandon Jacobs.

Yes Romo hasnt won crap but if you want to get into the nitty gritty Eli was carried to his SB win. Hell he got two gifts by the Patriots on the GW drive in that game. (Dont get me wrong I was so happy when the Pats lost im just saying that Eli didnt win it for them) I think Romo has way more ability and honestly hes the better QB.

No doubt everything I have ranked in my OP is opinion. Its nothing personal against the Giants. If it was personal id have the Eagles at 3 and the Cowboys at 4. I hate them both alot more than the Giants.

GTripp0012 · 05-19-2009, 01:18 AM

Eli is going to be throwing to a never ending group of shorter, mediocre receivers this year, so I doubt they'll have a No. 1 rushing offense to save them.

Dirtbag59 · 05-19-2009, 01:54 AM

QB - Eagles/Cowboys/Giants/Redskins
RB - Eagles/Redskins/Giants/Cowboys - This one is really close
WR - Eagles/Cowboys/Redskins/Giants
TE - Cowboys/Redskins/Eagles+Giants
OL - Eagles/Cowboys/Giants/Redskins

DL - Giants/Redskins/Eagles/Cowboys
LB - Don't know enough about this one to pass judgement
DB - Redskins/Eagles/Giants/Cowboys

You can see why the Eagles are considered the favorite to win the division this year.

So everyone thinks Jeremy Maclin makes the Eagles have the best WR corp in the division, maybe the fastest but not the best.

I heard a lot of analysts say that he's going to have to learn how to run routes in the NFL and no-one really considered him a prototypical WCO receiver. Somehow though once he got drafted he's an instant Pro-Bowler if you listen to the ESPN & NFL radio talking heads.

More DeSean Jackson but Maclin helps. Still part of it relates to how there isn't much competition at this spot among the 4 teams.

Giants The Eagles up and down the board have enough talent to get to yet another NFC Championship Game. The Cowboys and Redskins both are teams who could make the playoffs. I think it will come down to QB play and coaching for them. The Giants have enough talent but I just see a couple question marks that might slow them down this year.[/quote] The Giants have owned us the last few years. I have no idea how you have them 4th. They're a better team then us right now. Period.
