Sean Higgs 2010 NFC East Preview
Dallas Cowboys- High hopes in Big D with the Super Bowl in their spanking new stadium this season. The stars are in place with QB Tony Romo leading a high powered offense. The defense is lead by sack master DeMarcus Ware is also packed with solid playmakers. The Boys have threats all over the field. They have the depth and talent. Now they just need to fulfill the expectations of being the first team to win a Super Bowl on their home field.
New York Giants- Big Blue off an 8-8 year and will be 9-7 type team for 2010. The defense has nowhere to go but up after giving up 427 points last year and allowing 40 points to be scored on them 5 times! HC Tom Coughlin will no doubt use that as motivation for his new DC Perry Fewell. After a rash of injuries the G-men will look to keep their TOs down, they had 18 more last year than in 2008 and get pressure on the QB. RB Brandon Jacobs needs to be a bruising back again. Eli Manning has some developing talent at wide-out with Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham.
Washington Redskins - Regime change in Washington. New HC Mike Shanahan will look to new field general QB Donavan McNabb to lead the offense. The talent is there on offense and defense to double last year’s win total. If Albert Haynesworth grows up, this team will be an under the radar bunch that can make the playoffs. They are a heavy veteran team and are hungry to prove themselves. Shanahan will get through to the players and they will respond. An 8 or 9 win season will not be out of the question.
Philadelphia Eagles- Well the fans wanted to get rid of McNabb and now have their wish granted. I hope they are as rough on new QB Kevin Kolb. Let’s be clear. The Eagles have loads of talent on offense. They have a pair of young, speedy WRs in DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin plus LeSean McCoy in the backfield give the new signal caller some options. TE Brent Celek enjoyed a break-out season. DE Trent Cole mauled opposing QBs for 12 ½ sacks and CB Asante Samuel picked off 9 passes. My gut tells me they don’t approach the 11 wins they had in 2009
