Giants definately got alot better with the draft. Im not sure how well Sinorice will be, but he definately gives them a player that can stretch the field.
With the NYG, it all rests on Tiki Barber. If he stays healthy, which he has done over the last couple years, that team will be good. As he goes, so do the Giants. He's getting up there in age, and I'm not sure he will have the type of season he had last year. But that may be the case.
Washington got better on offense. We can clown on them for overpsending on players, call their WR's the smurfs, whatever, but when you look at it objectively, they got better on offense. They have a huge question mark with Brunell...they have to be hoping he doesn't run with his playoff form to start the year.
Philadelphia...well I still feel that they failed to address the RB position. Westbrook has shown he isn't a pound it out type of back, and that's not a good thing, especially in the physical NFC East. They have some weapons on offense, but none of them really scare me. Definately the worst WR corp out of all the teams in the East. Bunkley really scares me a bit, because we all saw that the loss of Corey Simon really hurt them last year. The defense just not being as powerful anymore. That could change. The rest of their draft was pretty solid as well, getting good value out of Gilles, and Justice should be a good pickup, especially with guys like RUnyan getting up there in age.
I think we did a pretty good job in FA and the draft addressing needs, also adding some pieces for the future. Our DL rotation just got even more depth. Carpenter rounds out our LB corps, and we'll see what Watkins brings. The OL, even though addressed, is pretty much what is probably going to determine if we are a 10winish team, or if we do even better than that.
When you look at teh 4 teams in the NFC East, I think that any of them could be dangerous, but all have at least one big question mark/factor. Hard to argue that the NFC East isn't the best division in football right now,
In the entire NFC, there are some solid teams. I disregard the NFC North again, but Chicago and Minnesota could be solid. Can Brad Johnson go a full 16? And can he be as effective as he was last year.
Carolina got alot better. Keyshawn gives them the second WR they desperately needed last year...no on besides Smith even broke 40 catches on that team. DeAngelo Williams solidifies a questionable RB situation...Foster and Williams will be a real good tandem.
Id say we are neck in neck with everyone in our division, and the top teams in the conference
I'd say without a playoff berth and a win, then season's a failure. I will say that injuries will dictate wins and loses for teams as it does every year.
