Quick Hit NFC Preview
NFC EAST
1. New York Giants – The defense will still crack heads and as hard as it is to say or believe, Eli Manning is a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Domenik Hixon and Hakeem Nicks play the role of Plaxico Buress just fine for Big Blue. Projected Record: 10-6
2. Dallas Cowboys – New stadium, scoreboard issues, no T.O. – there’s quite a bit going on in Big D. By the end of the season, everyone in the NFL will know the name Felix Jones. But the Cowboys still can’t win a playoff game. Projected Record: 9-7
3. Philadelphia Eagles – Loaded offensively, but the defense has taken one too many hits. The late Jim Johnson, Brian Dawkins (Broncos) and Stewart Bradley (IR) were arguably the three most important pieces to the ‘08 D. Over/Under for Philly fans to start calling for Vick: Week 7. Projected Record: 9-7
4. Washington Redskins – Jim Zorn better learn how to make on-the-fly adjustments real soon. ‘Skins started last season 6-2, ended 2-6. All it took was a little bit of game film for the league to catch up to JZ. I love Jason Campbell, but his downfall may ultimately be what he wasn’t given – a viable #2 receiver. Lace up, Malcolm Kelly. Projected Record: 8-8
