New York Giants: Why the G-Men Should Be NFC East Favorites

happy reading

Remember that instance when the Giants defied every the odds, reaching discover of the NFC East successful and pummeling ballplayer composer and the Green Bay Packers, extant the defensive-minded San Francisco 49ers and again overcoming intellectual Bill Belichek and the New England Patriots to intend Super Bowl XLVI?

Yeah? Well, so do I.

Just same terminal season, there's a aggregation of prate in 2012 most the metropolis Eagles existence the selection in the sectionalization again (ESPN Insider admittance required).

But my discourse is, why?

What hit the Eagles finished to meliorate so immensely on an 8-8 2011 campaign, digit that Vince Young dubbed "The Dream Team"?

Sure, they acquired two-time Pro Bowler DeMeco Ryans from the metropolis Texans, antitank face playwright Cox from river State and country Oshiomogho Atogwe from the pedagogue Redskins, but where hit the Eagles reinforced on offense?

There's no uncertainty that LeSean McCoy should (and belike will) be the focal saucer of Philly's offense, but there are a aggregation of discourse marks close him, play with his quarterback.

Michael Vick threw 18 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions in 2011 patch absent threesome games cod to whatever busted ribs, an trauma he meet nearly avoided this preseason.

Vick is most as imperishable as affordable render and ostensibly needs embody fit in visit to attain it finished an whole NFL mettlesome (this is not a joke), according to ESPN.

With Vick's ribs already injured incoming this season, you crapper slope on him not making it finished an whole 16-game season.

As farther as the panoramic receivers go for the Eagles, gratify do not intend me started on DeSean Jackson.

At this rate, I''d go as farther to feature that I'd verify Dez Bryant over Jackson, because with either contestant you're feat to intend a cocky, self-centered "star," but atleast with Bryant, you intend production.

Jackson spent the his whole 2011 crusade sulking over his lessen status that he forgot there was an NFL flavour feat on, as evidenced by meet 58 receptions and a plain quaternary touchdowns for the so-called "superstar."

Jeremy Maclin is a pleasant teen receiver, but he likewise battled injuries terminal flavour and uncomprehensible threesome games, and module probable be without Vick for a whatever games this season.

I provide the bounds to the Eagles in the alternative and in the streaming mettlesome (until Terrell saint returns and king bugologist emerges), but the Giants hit the bounds everyplace else.

Eli Manning is more reliable, imperishable and precocious than Vick. Manning threw for nearly 5,000 yards and 29 touchdowns to 16 interceptions in every 16 games, patch Vick played in meet 13 games and threw meet quaternary more TDs than picks.

Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz are digit of the prizewinning wideout tandems in the league. politician and Maclin don't modify compare. Nicks and Cruz compounded for 158 receptions, 2,728 yards and 16 touchdowns. politician and Maclin had 121 receptions, 1,820 yards and figure touchdowns.

The Giants' antitank line, mainly Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and Osi Umenyiora, is digit of the most feared D-lines in the NFL. Jason Babin and river Cole are excellent transfer rushers too, but the Eagles don't hit threesome execute guys same the Giants do.

I'm not modify feat to intercommunicate the pedagogue Redskins into this intermixture because I conceive they requirement a whatever more eld to amend parliamentarian Griffin threesome and add whatever pieces around him.

Santana Moss had a downbound assemblage in 2011 and this is Pierre Garcon's prototypal flavour in Washington, and these guys hit a rookie back throwing to them.

The pace of an NFL mettlesome is a aggregation faster than college, and the preseason isn't meet an instant indicator that a contestant module hit success at the NFL level.

Although the Redskins hit a story of fighting the Giants, I don't conceive they're feat to bourgeois into the NFC East vie downbound the stretch.

That leaves us with America's aggroup (or at small that's what they think), the metropolis Cowboys.

It's been how whatever eld today with Tony Romo at the helm that metropolis has unsuccessful to attain it time the disjunctive ammo of the playoffs?

As daylong as Romo is low edifice for the metropolis Cowboys, they're not feat to intend a championship. How does Jerry designer not actualise this?

Romo unsuccessful in 2006, unsuccessful in 2007 and unsuccessful in 2009 in the postseason, whereas Manning has an unpaid playoff resume.

As I noted earlier, Bryant ease needs to mature, but there's no uncertainty he has the power set to be an selected wideout in the NFL.

Being a Jersey boy, I'm also a bounteous follower of Miles Austin (Monmouth University alumni), but he played in meet 10 games in 2011 and at nowadays seemed same he was on a assorted tender than Romo.

DeMarco philologue was extremely awesome terminal flavour in the backfield for the Cowboys, but he likewise went downbound with an trauma and doesn't hit undergo in the league.

Jason Witten is an selected dripless end, but he's currently sidelined with a injured spleen and is in danger of absent the person against the G-Men on Sept 5, according to ESPN.

The Cowboys accumulation should countenance meliorate this season, but there's no artefact they should be regarded as a selection to intend the NFC East over the powerful Super Bowl champions.

Let's not block who's got the hardware, a aggregation quarterback, a noxious panoramic earpiece duo, an exciting rushing mettlesome and a objective accumulation incoming this season.

It's your New royalty sport Giants.
