NFC East predictions

NFC east
#1 Eagles- With a healthy Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook,this is a superbowl calibar team. The eagles made two key offseason additions by adding linemen Stacey Andrews and Jason Peters. This is an upgrade that will give McNabb more time to throw,and he will be less injury prone because he wont get sacked as much. The defense is still outstanding despite the loss of defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and FS Brian Dawkins. The D line is filled with depth,and MLB Stewart Bradly is emerging as an elite football player. My biggest concern is the loss of Brian Dawkins. Can Sean Jones really fill that void?

#2 Giants- Despite Plaxico Burress gone,the giants still have a lot of options at WR that have good potential. I really like Hakeem Nicks and I expect him to eventually become Eli Mannings number 1 target. Dont expect the running game to be as effective though,because the loss of Derrick Ward to the Buccaneers. The Giants have the best defensive line in the NFL,with Osi and Justin Tuck. My biggest worry is the run game. Can B.Jacobs and A.Bradshaw get the job done?

#3 Cowboys- The loss of T.Owens will make an imediate impact. Roy williams is solid,but he wont completly fill that WR void. Im not a fan of this team,and I think a lot of people in Dallas will be dissapointed this year.

#4 Redskins- An adequete team that I just dont see making a playoff run. Clinton Portis still has a lot of health issues,and Jason Cambell doesnt seem all that great of a QB. This will be a devolping year for the redskins,so dont expect more than 8 wins.
