The Cowboys are better than last year, The Eagles are worse

[roarr]

We upgraded our biggest weaknesses last year -- DT, WR2 and CB2.

The Eagles? They got Jalen Carter, who will not replace Hargraves production for at least a couple years. And Nolan Smith, who is a duplicate of Reddick. You're not playing two 235 DE at the same time.

Meanwhile, they lost both starting safeties, their best linebacker, their best starting guard. Both coordinators. Five key players for them are over 33 (Slay, Cox, Johnson, Kelce, and Graham). Hargraves was their best D player, the entire glue. They have 2.25 wide receivers, one who could break in a strong wind. Their QB got paid.

AND, the Georgia stuff just might be too cute. Get a bunch of young, immature players who are bros from college and bring them to big city. Tell them they are Super Bowl locks. Heap praise on the Eagles all off season. Recipe meet disaster. Not to mention the history of Super Bowl losers.

They still have a great roster. But so do we. Best one since the 90s. We're better today than last year. And the Eagles are worse, despite what Steven A. Smith and Colin Cowturd and Chandler Random say

its 2 early. I luv my team but in reality, all we can do is sit and wait. We can gage better this in camp

 

[JayFord]

oh so this isnt an eagles forum?

Perhaps a closer examination of what the Eagles picked-up in free agency and a thorough review of their entire draft class is in order.

You can't evaluate a teams overall talent like you were balancing a checkbook.

The biggest factor is QB. Which QB has the best chance to be better than last year?

We have a years long sample size of Dak. Would you say his arrow has been pointing UP the last few years? Or do u think he's leveled off, and we kinda know what we have in Dak?

Jalen? Kind of a wild card. He's still in the ascending stage. Last year he was exponentially better than the year before. Will he take ANOTHER jump this year? Impossible to say until we watch him... .. but so far he hasn't had a year he wasn't much better than the previous year, but everyonelevels off after a certainnumber of seasons. If he takes ANOTHER step up this year they will be miles better than us. If he levels off... then it's much closer.

Go for it... They picked up worse players at lb and safety and guard. like I said.

Sure, it's possible they have a better QB. It's also possible last year was more like Dak 2016 -- Hurts excelled bc they had the best oline in the league and lots of playmakers

Sadly, Hurts was among the young, highly drafted QB's that left Dak permanently in the rear view by a comfortable margin last year.

Already done my review. I'm pretty sure I know where we stand.

We shall see by the end of the season, injuries dictate pretty much everything.

Already done my review. I'm pretty sure I know where we stand.

Then let us hear your review. Instead of just saying you did one.

 

[Havic]

There defense will be weaker but we have to stop the run / Hurts scrambling

 

[ChronicCowboy]

I’m not afraid…

Sure. You better hope that Steen can play inside where he is supposed sit down and anchor. His game was to use his long *** arms to steer guys outside. At 315 at first glance it might seem okay but at 6'6" that is not a lot of density. Kelce has always been undersized.

Mazi is precisely the type of player that gives guys like that fits. Bigger, quicker, stronger. You cannot Morgan Moses lean on a guy like Mazi.

One thing to consider is that Hargraves was one of the best run defenders in the NFL. Smith and Carter are excellent players and might be good run defenders for what they do. They do not do what Hargraves did in terms of controlling the los. Cox is still there but every year he slows down that much more. Cox is certainly at the age where the wheels can fall off at any time.

If you are planning on a 3rd round and picks over 100 to solve your losses at both starting S you are delusional. In contrast, the cowboys lost Brown and Brown and replaced them with Cooks and Gilmore for two picks over 100. Schultz is gone and Ferguson looked a lot better as a rookie than Schultz did. Throw in Schoonmaker and the chaff and it llooks like depth.

Eagles S depth is absolute trash. Cowboys fans know very well what it looks like throwing UDFA, late rounders, and cast offs at the S position. Have fun with the big plays.

So the Eagles without Hargreaves are less capable of anchoring the los than before while the Cowboys are much better equipped. The Cowboys were able to much better fill their holes using late round picks than the Eagles did.

We were graded a D and dirty birds an A so how can what you say be true? I don't know man.

 

[Cowboys5217]

It's not so much the Eagles, but the 49ers we need to figure out.

They did a GREAT job of replacing some of their losses with studs. And lets not fall a asleep on Swift. He is a Pollard clone. Could be scary in that offense.

Hurts also continues to develop with his pass catchers. That Oline is still tops in the NFL and that defense is not bad by any stretch. That Dline is one if the best if not the best in the NFL.

I wouldnt count them out from anything.

Yes we improved, but we didnt improve our biggest weakness which is the Oline.

I know the hopefuls like to think the old and injured guys will always be healthy, but this Oline is going to be a problem.
