ESPN recently claimed the Eagle have a top 5 OLine.

Maybe even at LT but Peters is getting old.
Eagles better at RT.
Cowboys significantly better on all interior positions.
Cowboys with better backups.


Eagles
Jason Peters 7x Pro Bowl, 6x All Pro, Age 33
Allen Barbre 8 games started in 8 year career.
Jason Kelce Pro Bowl 2014, has played 4 years.
Matt Tobin UDFA 2013, 7 games started
Lane Johnson 1st round pick, has played 2 years.

Top Backups
Andrew Gardner 8 starts in 5 seasons, cut by 4 other teams
Dennis Kelly 10 starts in 3 seasons, 5th round pick
David Molk Undersized 7th round pick by SD, but after 1 year
John Moffitt 3rd round pick by Seattle, traded for player that was cut after 3 weeks. Retired in 2013. Signed with the Eagles in 2015.

Cowboys
Tyron Smith 2x All Pro, 2x Pro Bowl
Ron Leary 33 games started, shut down JJ Watt
Travis Frederick 1x All Pro, 1x Pro Bowl
Zack Martin Pro Bowl and All Pro as a rookie
Doug Free I've heard he is a good golfer.

Top Backups
La'el Collins Projected 1st round pick in 2015 draft
Mackenzy Bernadeau 48 games started
Darrion Weems Developmental player in 2012, 2013, IR 2014

I would say Smith is better then Peters right now. Peters has always reminded me of Adams in that he will be dominant but will have a few games a year where he struggles.
The only stretch the last couple yeara Smith has struggled was last year when he had a high ankle sprain, and even then it was only against JPP it was noticable

Not sure that
2014 Pro Bowler Frederick is significantly better than 2014 Pro Bowler Kelce.

Better yes.

I see our main advantage as being Zack Martin over who ever they put out there.
Also our top end depth is better

Hey xwalker, you know the rules, marry, shag, kill between Brian Broadus, Doug Free and Nick Hayden :)

I think that is
Kill.
Have a beer with.
Fight.

I'll fight Bryan Broaddus.

I would like to go back in time to Aug 2014 and kill Doug Free (Then sign Parnell to a new contract before he proved himself).

I'll have a beer with Nick Hayden (hopefully during a Cowboys game).

FMK is to be played similarly to the Russian Roulette scene from Deer Hunter.

You guys aren't doing it right

I said the group was significantly better. I didn't say each player was significantly better than their counterparts.

Having said that, Frederick was All Pro and a Pro Bowler. Kelce was not All Pro.

Martin was All Pro.

Leary shut down JJ Watt and played at a Pro Bowl type level when healthy. A lower body injury mid season caused him to be a little slowed for a few games including the 1st game against the Eagles. If healthy all season he would likely have received consideration for the Pro Bowl.

Factor in group play is critical and the Eagles will have 2 new starters at OG and lost ine of the best OG's in football

I was trying not to be too much of a homer.

Cowboys oline is much much better. Eagles still probably have one of the better lines in the league. Cowboys put a ton of resources into the oline and it shows. I've never heard anyone say the eagles line is as good as Dallas'.

If Peters gets injured the eagles are done. they have no depth on their line
