What must the East be thinking?

[erod]

A clavicle. A superstar. A nerve. A real backup. Two signings. A misunderstanding. A foot. A positional move. A recovered knee. And a long-awaited emergence.

Imagine if it all pans out. Romo, Zeke, Jaylon, Dak, Morris and Thornton, La'el, Dez, Byron, Scandrick, and Mo. Not to mention, what if Tapper, Collins, and Mayowa turn out to be players? Holy bajeebers.

Two months of work and a flask of luck might have turned this franchise into King Kong for NFC East foes to deal with. So many things seem to be falling into place, especially if that storied nerve of Jaylon Smith's decides to show up and join the party next summer.

And if THAT Dak Prescott is THE Dak Prescott, nine months from now could give birth to a new litter of defensive draft and free agency puppies to play with. Options will abound. No need to run naked through the streets like the Rams and Eagles did for a QB. (If vanilla is to blame, why aren't Goff and Wentz lighting it up to, eh?)

That's right, Eagles fans, we're just fine with our 4th-round compensatory pick. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Enjoy drafting in the first round in a decade, or whatever that treasure chest of picks cost you. Keep up the duct tape and super glue, Washington. Hope you find some replacements for those o-line matadors, New York, and perhaps a fully-fingered pass rusher one day. Vernon will be of no consequence against our line.

The entire NFC East might be watching the formation of multi-trilogy seasons of Cowboy dominance. You can feel their disgust. The bitterness is palpable. Again, albeit after a long Cowboys respite. They have to be sick to their stomachs.

It's hard not gloat, let alone smile.

Cowboys fans should remember how many years the Eagles and Commanders "won" the off-season and then came crashing down to earth once the games really counted.

Cowboys fans would do well to remember how many years the Eagles and Commanders "won" the off-season and then came crashing down to earth once the games really counted.

I don't ever remember the Commanders winning the offseason. They just sign a bunch of disgruntled and old free agents. They are the champions of duct tape.

They were going to dominate with Albert Haynesworth. He was the next Reggie White! See how that turned out.

Then they mortgaged the farm because they were "only a quarterback away" from contending to move up and draft RGIII. You know... the guy who sat the bench last year and is now in Cleveland.

Like I said, they go for the disgruntled and aged.

Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Albert Haynesworth, Donovan McNabb, DeAngelo Hall....

They also have a thing for former Cowboys.

Stephen Bowen, Brandon Noble, Jason Hatcher, Norv Turner, Calvin Hill.... It's nice to take one of theirs for a change in Alfred Morris.

I can see any of the teams in the NFC East finishing in last place. I have a hard time seeing the Eagles winning the division, but i guess it would be possible. Although I can easily see any of the other three winning the division.

Since the Eagles ran the division in the early 2000's, there has been very few repeat winners of the conference. So the betting money is a different team will win the division this year.

 

[Direwolf63]

I don't think they are too worried. Every team can come up with a dozen "if's" and with positive outcomes think they are Super Bowl bound. That includes the NFC East teams.

That's the thing about August. Everybody is 0-0. And all the fan bases think their team will win the division, have no injuries and all their guys will have their best years ever. And all their draft picks will be fantastic.

Cowboys fans are no different.

Actually, no.

The Commander fans are in full panic right now. They didn't have a good camp, and they haven't looked good at all in preseason.

The Giants could barely manage a first down against the same Dolphin team Dallas toyed with.

And Eagle fans are bracing for a 4-win season. They've already put Green-Beckham in the starting lineup because Aghalor looks like a bust. The offense is putrid because the offensive line is horrendous.

Haynesworth was 27 and Hall was 25 when they signed. Haynesworth became disgruntled after signing with the Commanders - mainly due to conflicts with Shanahan after flunking his fitness test.

I'll see you and raise ya' by 10.

My son and I both wanted to draft Prescott, we had him as a great 3rd round prospect. Alfred Morris, I've been on that train since day one. I love the Jaylon Smith pick but I can see where others wouldn't. Zeke will be a beast for a decade. I think Mo finally gets it.

Thornton was a great add and the draft picks will prove their worth. Gregory had more sacks last year than Vernon, Jenkins played on an overall good defense with the Rams, same as Norman whom now plays for the Skins, we'll see how they fair on lesser defenses.

All in all I like our direction.

No, Tennessee had enough of Haynesworth. That stomp on Andre Gurode's head was just a hint of the everyday beating that dealing with him was. Very much like Hardy.

But according to....well....you....Wentz has looked very good....LOL

We won last year's offseason. THREE FIRST ROUND TALENTS. SIGNED HARDY. SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

You had me until the bold. Vernon had 8 sacks last year. Gregory had none.

He did. He moved well, had poise, and showed his arm. Stats weren't there, but you can see it in him. He's going to be a headache when he finally gets some protection and help.

Goff looks lost. That looks like a bust.

Yep.

I think I'll wait until some real games are played before I start waving the pom poms.

I meant Lawrence, my bad and I thought Vernon only had six last year.

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

The eagles and Commanders have been trying to build through free agency for years now and it hasn't worked. The giants and Cowboys have pretty much stuck to adding draft picks. The Giants have just been drafting horribly, while the Cowboys have been making smart picks. We have finally been taking the right approach to building a team by not paying old players and making great draft picks. While it may not translate into a Superbowl this season or at all, its refreshing to see.

 

[erod]

I meant Lawrence, my bad and I thought Vernon only had six last year.

He had 7.5, but that was with Wake and Suh getting all the attention. I'd be a little concerned about that if I were a Giants fan.
