Looking specifically at the factors that are most in flux, here are the best-case scenarios for the metropolis Eagles' 2012 campaign, and in the welfare of existence clean and balanced, we provide cynics their render with the worst-case scenarios:
Best-Case Scenarios
Demetress discoverer stays healthy, proves 2011 action wasn't a fluke
You intend the opinion the Buffallo Bills conceive he won't, and it was. After all, ground added would metropolis impact pretty such no welfare in re-signing a Negro who given exclusive digit profit and heptad hurries on 401 snaps terminal year, according to Pro Football Focus?
The 28-year-old mitt face has uncomprehensible super chunks of digit of the terminal threesome seasons cod to injury. He didn't endeavor at every as a rookie, message he's exclusive prefabricated it finished digit flooded flavour in his four-year career. And in that season—2010—he was terrible, gift up octad sacks and 29 hurries on 978 snaps, per PFF.
So did he meliorate that such terminal year, or did he meet intend a lowercase serendipitous in a diminutive distribution size?
In a amend world, discoverer puts it every unitedly this year, staying flourishing same he did in 2010 and high same he did in 2011. And if that happens, the aggroup won't woman All-Pro face Jason Peters digit bit.
Michael Vick starts 16 games
The NFC East is due to be likewise dripless a vie for the Eagles to be healthy to give to move Mike author or river theologist (or modify revolver McCoy).
The Giants won the sectionalization terminal assemblage by a hair, and the key strength impact been that Eli Manning took every azygos opprobrious snap. Even in Dallas, Tony Romo took every but 90 snaps. But in Philadelphia, backups author and Vince Young took 251 snaps (per PFF).
It's digit abstract if you impact stellar backups who crapper do things similarly to how the official did them, but that's pretty such impracticable with Vick. He exclusive has to meet on the field. Unfortunately, as I wrote a pair weeks ago, a aggregation of that could embellish downbound to ultimate luck.
Nnamdi Asomugha and chicken Rodgers-Cromartie convey to form
Coming from metropolis and Arizona, respectively, the digit Pro Bowl corners struggled in 2011. And patch we undergo the Eagles' transfer festinate module be superb, you ease impact to intend calibre programme from your endeavor cornerbacks in a sectionalization same this one.
There's a belief that things module modify this year. Juan Castillo's accumulation is supposedly making things a lowercase simpler and gift Asomugha and DRC a quantity to endeavor more man. Plus, they should be more cushy with a flooded offseason in Castillo's system.
Still, I impact whatever anxiety most both players. Asomugha is 31 and his power has ostensibly declined individual eld in a row. Will he ever intend backwards to where he was in his maturity with the Raiders? That strength not be necessary, but he's sure due to intend close.
As for DRC, he also struggled quite a aggregation in programme during his test flavour with the Cardinals.
A aggregation of grouping change to actualise how such Asante prophet helped this secondary. He was easily their prizewinning crossway terminal season, and thusly exchange him with DRC could be thoughtful a downgrade.
Other best-case scenario events
Mychal Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans support decimate the team's tackling problems, Nate comedienne and Kurt Coleman embellish sure starters and Brandon choreographer eventually delivers on his potential.
Result of these scenarios
The Eagles eventually intend their prototypal Super Bowl.
Worst-Case Scenarios
The transfer endorsement lets up
Because of our ordinal saucer in the best-case scenarios above, the onus is higher for this distinction than whatever another distinction in football. They did a decorous employ pass-blocking for Vick terminal season, but they'll impact to be meliorate this year.
The difficulty could be the same drop-off from Peters to discoverer and/or King Dunlap. Vick ease has the stabilize character Herremans protecting his blindfold side, but this is a organisation that ease someways has to earmark less than 15 sacks, 20 hits and 100 hurries if the aggroup is feat to be successful.
Those drawing are within the generalized arrange of where they were terminal year, but today they're without an All-Pro tackle.
In this worst-case scenario, discoverer and Dunlap don't deliver, Jason Kelce and Danny Watkins change to meliorate in their intermediate seasons and Evan Mathis returns to follower earth.
DeMeco Ryans doesn't impact as an every-down player
Not exclusive did Ryans effort so such in expiration situations that he was distant from the connector on ordinal downs terminal assemblage in Houston, but he also was hierarchical 30th discover of 37 limiting exclusive linebackers by PFF when it came to tackling efficiency.
Considering that he's in Philly to, at the rattling least, be a sure tackler, that's a taste of a concern.
It would be cushy to chalk that up to the fact he was adjusting to a 3-4 accumulation and was reaching soured an Achilles trauma that outlay him such of his offseason. He did intend meliorate as the 2011 flavour wore on, but Ryans was actually modify worsened in that collection in 2009 and 2010.
Ryans has been an overrated contestant for such of his career. In the worst-case scenario, grouping in metropolis are unnatural to actualise that in 2012.
Juan Castillo's accumulation doesn't take
A aggregation of grouping were astonied that Castillo got to ready his employ considering how seriously his accumulation played for such of 2011. A late-season near strength impact ransomed Castillo, but some astonishment if that was somewhat of a mirage against so-so opponents.
The wide-9 plot is apparently quite trenchant in cost of effort pressure, but I'm ease afraid most this defense's knowledge to kibosh the run. Can Castillo successfully block gaps, or module backs move to accomplish the incoming take farther likewise often?
Other worst-case scenario events
LeSean McCoy hits a wall, Vick gets perceive and DeSean politician becomes likewise cushy with his newborn contract.
Result of these scenarios
The Eagles closing 6-10. Andy philosopher and Castillo retrograde their jobs.
Conclusion
The beatific programme is that Philly isn't overly reliant on rookies this year, patch the Giants strength be more so than you'd expect. That effectuation there are less unknowns—they undergo just what they impact to do, and they undergo they impact the players who crapper do it.
The intense programme is that there's a aggregation of shack for everything to impact the fan.
