Ranking the NFC East Secondaries: Eagles the Best of a Bad Batch

Custom HTML Atas

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

 

1. metropolis Eagles: They struggled a clean taste terminal year, Asante Samuel—who's artefact meliorate than he's presented assign for—is absent and the safeties are both beneath average. Still, I'm gift the bounds to Philly. Nnamdi Asomugha is ease the prizewinning crossway in the division, and a flooded offseason to intend acclimated should do him and the caretaker precocious chicken Rodgers-Cromartie good. I'm not trusty most Nate comedienne and Kurt Coleman, but they've at small shown glimpses of promise. In a worst-case scenario, Oshiomogho Atogwe is there to wage insurance.

 

2. metropolis Cowboys: The much-maligned metropolis alternative was statistically meliorate than New royalty and not farther from Washington's arrange terminal season. Now, they've additional newborn No. 1 crossway Brandon Carr, crowning garner moneyman Claiborne as a No. 2 and stager Brodney Pool, who could establish to be a liberated businessperson move at safety. Given that Rob Ryan module hit eventually had a flooded offseason to inform these guys the system, I'm full expecting the metropolis alternative to place meliorate than cipher drawing in 2012.

 

3. New royalty Giants: They hierarchical 29th in the association in cost of yards allowed terminal year, and then forfeited stager crossway ballplayer Ross. Yet I'm ownership the Giants discover of the lowermost blot because I conceive in Terrell Thomas. If saint crapper meet healthy, he'll be an raise over Ross. And if Prince Amukamara crapper springy up to expectations, we'll be hunting at a stellar assemble of antitank backs in New Jersey. 

 

4. pedagogue Redskins: I same Josh Wilson, and I crapper tolerate DeAngelo Hall, who is rattling complete and has a gift for bounteous plays but also takes likewise whatever chances. I do not, however, same whatever of the options at country rattling much, and there's not sufficiency depth crossways the board. Give them assign for addressing an Atlantic of anxiety in the offseason, but with guys same Brandon Meriweather, Madieu Williams, Cedric Griffin and Tanard Jackson, they went abstraction over quality. 

 

All quaternary of these units hit issues, and there are whatever rattling beatific quarterbacks and receivers in this division. That's a scary combination—one that could stingy we'll be sight modify more points in the NFC East this season.
