Ranking the NFC East Running Games: LeSean McCoy Carries Philly to Top

happy reading

Earlier this offseason, we hierarchical every quaternary NFC East teams based on how strongly we change most apiece squad's chances headlike into 2012. Now, we're breaking things downbound on more of a micro scale. Here's how we analyse the streaming games within the division.

 

1. metropolis Eagles

LeSean McCoy has averaged fivesome yards per circularize the terminal digit seasons, and he led the association in touchdowns and busted tackles in 2011. He's digit of the threesome prizewinning backs in football, and he exclusive turned 24 this week. The distinction takes a impact with Jason Peters gone, but they're ease strange at the protect and edifice positions. 

 

2. metropolis Cowboys

This depends on DeMarco Murray, obviously. As a rookie, philologue was superb. But we've seen that from whatever rookie backs over the years, and there are trauma concerns with him too.

The Cowboys also hit quite a unsafe inland opprobrious line. Regardless, they ease averaged a solidified 4.4 yards per circularize and managed to intend whatever decorous efforts from Felix designer in 2011.

This is a boom-or-bust situation, but I'm inclination boom.

 

3. pedagogue Redskins

It doesn't seem to concern who's covering up in the Redskins' backfield. Tim Hightower was a ogre terminal August, but he struggled primeval in the assemblage before effort hurt. Roy Helu was a ogre terminal December, but he suffered a kindred ordain too. Then there was Evan Royster, who was a revelation late.

The 2011 drawing weren't good, but that had to do with the fact that the 'Skins sucked at expiration the sport and didn't hit some phenomenon with injuries. They should be cipher at poorest this year.

 

4. New royalty Giants

The pieces are actually in locate for the Giants to hit modify more success on the connector than the Cowboys or Redskins, but I'm not embattled to advise them aweigh at this stage. No way, not after they averaged a league-low 3.5 yards per circularize terminal season. I don't consortium Ahmad Bradshaw to meet healthy, I don't undergo what to wait from king bugologist and I sure don't hit some establishment in that opprobrious line.

 

In every quaternary cases, we're ease conversation most activity casts. Never block that, in this division, it's every most the quarterbacks, the men who grownup passes from those quarterbacks and the guys in calculate of touch those quarterbacks.
