Talk about the AFC, NFC, the NFL Draft, College Football... anything football that has no Washington Football Team relevance.

CP's View on the NFC East

Post by Clinton Portis »

Hey people! Whuts good! Its ya boy CP here to deliver you my opinions on the NFC east...your free to add your feedback or comments.

Lets start with the...

Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles ( as much as I dislike them) made some good moves this offseason. They resigned Trotter, and I can only imagine they may resign Westbrook.They seem set for next year. Of Course they had success last year, going to the Superbowl, and theres no reason they shouldnt compete for another try. Unfortunatly, they also have a cupcake schedule, which means another good record. But I do complement the Eagles organization on good cap managment and player selection (aside from T.O). (12-4,11-5)

That brings us to...

The Dallas Cowboys Tsk Tsk Tsk....30 Million dollars in singing bonuses and what do you get? Bam, Presto, 1 Pro Bowl caliber player. With Vinny Intercepteverde gone, and Drew Bledsoe inserted, the Cowboys can look forward to more sacks and less interceptions. Thats a good thing right? The Cowboys don't have a very easy schedule (because we're on it...) but I'm sure they will finish at least 1-15,or 2-14. But seriously, my prediction for the Pukes is around 7-9 or a 6-10 repeat.

Now for...

The New York Giants With the signing of PlasticToe Burress, things are looking up for the Giants, who went on a 8 game losing streak only to peak my intrest in week seventeen with a comeback victory. However, Rookie Eli still needs development, and I don't expect them to do very much on the Offensive Side of the ball...on the other hand, Antonio Pierce should prove a lethal weapon in the middle of the field, giving the defense some leadership. Still, the Giants will only finish 8-8 at best, and 5-11,4-12 at worst.

And last but defintly not least...



The Washington Redskins Outsiders, I hate em. Homers, don't like em. But oddly, its really a battle between these two. Will the skins suceed? Not to the outside analyst or fan. But to Homers (and true fans) the Redskins will be strong this year under the leadership of Patrick Ramsey, finally with a full season to play. Clinton Portis looks to have a big year with the newly revamped line. The only question is Derrick Dockery, who unperformed jus a bit last year. The Losses of Smoot and A.Pierce appear large, and just like a side window, they are larger than they appear. However these holes can be covered (haha, no pun intended), in the NFL Draft. Look out for Antrell Rolle or Pac Man. If not them, a virtual unknown (much like Chris Cooley was). Gibbs selects hidden gems. That aside, with the Defense set and the offense hopefully gelling, there is no reason to thing the Skins can't pull of a Playoff Berth, 9-7,10-6 or even 11-5.


Well thats my summary, feel free to leave comments.

Westbrook is a restricted free agent. Corey Simon was franchised. As of this moment neither has signed.

Well...since I've said all along that Westbrook is the most vital weapon the Eagles have, they better sign him and sign him quick. If they let him go, they'll also let the NFC East title go along with him.

Today's supposed to be the last day another team can make him an offer, so it looks like he's going to sign here.

For the life of me I can't see why nobody would at least make an offer.

If nothing else, than the drive the price up. :?

Because maybe someone calls your bluff. Do you really want to lose a 1st rounder for Westbrook?
Put him in a run oriented offense and he never lasts the full season.
He fits in Reids system well beacuse Reid hates to run the ball. Sometimes it seems that if he could pass on every down he would.

He is worth more to the Eagles, but not to anyone else.
ANd he won't get paid what he is worth. Today is the last day. Sucks for Westbrook.

But you wouldn't lose a first...you'd lose a third I believe.

He got a mid level tender, so any team that wants him is offering up a first round pick.

I wasn't aware of the tender. Makes sense now.

Westbrook has decided not to sign the tender...yet.
The Eagles are allegedly interested in Travis Henry. Which means one of two things.
1) Reid realizes that the three headed monster he had a few years ago with Duce, Buckhalter, and Westbrook was actually very effective, and he wants to try to acheive that again. Or
2) The FO is floating a story about Henry to encourage Westbrook to think about signing.

If Philly really plays hardball, they can remove the tender if it gets late in the game, like in the middle of June. Then they would be able to pay him less than 1.43 Million. I think that would backfire, because someone would take him simply to hurt the eagles.
Westbrook is stuck playing in Philly for less than he is worth, and there is nothing he can do about it

Buckhalter was supposed to get the majority of the carries last season, but he had to go and blow out his knee in a non-contact injury.
