Florida Firecats - af2 Football

We begin our tour inside the 32 NFL teams that make up the NFC East, a division that in recent years has brought balance, a very high level of competition, and this year does not seem to back away from the main group difficult than the NFC.

Dallas side with the underdogs and has huge opportunity not to be missed, while Giants, Redskins and Eagles are teams that can upset the rankings, which depend largely on the direct matches.

Dallas Cowboys

For Dallas, the possibility is delicious and unique, the team seems to be the apex of their chance to win a title with the current management, and the prospect of lifting the trophy in front of your audience is everything that Jerry Jones wants.

The Cowboys will be playing for history, for being the first team ever to win the Super Bowl in their facility, and for this reason, the effort required will be maximum, and the pressure that the organization will be very high on him, as d 'Moreover, it will be the one experienced by Wade Phillips, who could have the last opportunity to assume the role of head coach under Jerry Jones, whose patience could soon end.

The Cowboys report to field one of the most prolific attacks the entire NFL, with a highly effective passing game, and a department running backs deep and, hopefully, finally healthy. Tony Romo is a quarterback regenerated, mature, fresh from his best football player in his career, which resulted in 4483 figures, 26 touchdowns and only nine interceptions, which testify to the considerable improvement made in terms of decisions taken.

The game will air repeat the fireworks will come when the season's final consecration for Miles Austin, accordingly to 1,320 yards with 11 goals in 2009 will receive greater attention of defensive coordinators opponents.

And 'most of her merit the development of the air that he needed an ideal replacement for Terrell Owens, Roy Williams' role, for which Jerry Jones has thrown away millions of dollars and three choices, he never knew hold despite the aura of local product falling at home ready to break that was created around.

Williams is a topical number two wide receiver, a role that could soon be his blown by rookie Dez Bryant, who fell into the arms of the Cowboys draft pick to the 24th position despite a talent to be top ten, because of a suspicious character.

If Bryant will field the talent that was available with the merger, the theft is complete. To add depth within the seventh year Patrick Crayton, who would want a greater role, but remained in second place, more so with the arrival of Bryant. Romo can finally count on his most reliable target in hot situations, the tight end Jason Witten, who has collected 94 receptions for 1,030 yards and two goals, remained among the top 3 role in the NFL.

Rushing the game will promote Felix Jones instead of starter Marion Barber III, whose 2009 was ruined by injuries. Jones provides many opportunities to hit the game-effect at different times of the race, thanks to its great speed in the open field, while Barber could function better as a backup to run between the tackles, with Tashard Choice to provide additional versatility and potential danger to the department.

The offensive line will return intact with the exception of Flozell Adams, cut after more than a decade in Texas, to be succeeded in the delicate role of left tackle Doug Free, who has a question mark if projected over an entire season. In their place will be Andre Gurode, the center, the other tackle Marc Colombo, Leonard Davis and guard Kyle Kosier. The Rams, by trade, also came from Alex Barron Rams, who will start as backup on the right side of Columbus.

The defense will call directly Phillips games for the second consecutive year, and will only continue to receive attention from dedicatale one of the best experts in defensive movement. The 3-4 Dallas is structured to put lots of pressure on the quarterback and it worked wonderfully amassing 42 sacks in 2009, combining the result of granting the second best result in terms of points of opponents throughout the NFL.

The line based on their performance on a nose tackle Jay Ratliff soared as that takes away two men and managed to bring pressure from the center, which are flanked by two high-level elements such as Igor Olshanski and Marcus Spears, the two defensive ends .

The department is under pressure created by the two outside linebackers, who see DeMarcus Ware the best you could wish for being consistently in the hunt the quarterback, a true nightmare for the offensive line and Anthony Spencer as a grown up and able to carve out a leading role opposite. The two plants will be linebackers Keith Brooking and Brad James, who have alternated good races to perform less happy, but that complete a quartet very solid, which will see the inclusion of rookie Sean Lee in what was the role of disappointing Bobby Carpenter, sent Rams in the business to Barron.

The secondary is another point of great strength of the team, Mike Jenkins and Terrence Newman are in fact one of the best pair of cornerbacks in the NFL, and have both physical and tactical plans to play man, another fundamental concept of the Phillips system. The depth is guaranteed by Orlando Scandrick, another young man from the launch pad that will play nickel back, while some perplexity arises between safety with Ken Hamlin and the renunciation of performance varied greatly by Gerald Sensabaugh.

The new Alan Ball will never tested continuously, and Michael Hamlin, Clemson second year.

The battle for the role of kicker after the insecurities posed by Nick Folk, will be between two players with little experience as David Buehler, a former USC and last year devoted to kickoffs, and Connor Hughes. Matt McBriar is one of the best punters in the league and has shown several times in his six years of experience, while the returns we will rely on Patrick Crayton and Felix Jones, two players already productive in the recent past.

Dallas is an opportunity for life, and motivation will be high as ever, if you add the redemption against the last Divisional defeat against Minnesota: the team has managed to dispel the myth of winning the playoffs that did not come from twelve years, but Jerry Jones is much more to be satisfied, even more so in a year where the Texans are set to go through.

New York Giants

The Giants General Tom Coughlin were often indecipherable: it has gone from the team that can never go too far in the playoffs without a quarterback equipped with attributes that miraculous capable of beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl semi-perfect, then return to mystery and disappoint the expectations, given the circumstances, would have called many more of the eight championship victories in the past.

Eli Manning, meanwhile, attributes made them grow excessively proving to be able to win and remain calm in difficult situations and pressing, finishing 2009 with 4,021 yards, 21 passes and 14 interceptions despite winning a department all receivers again and test everything.

And who would necessarily limited to the role of loser brother Peyton was soon undeceived, before what has become a great quarterback in reading situations, able to adjust the leading voice calls and improved since the early shyness.

Part of the blame for recent failures was a racing game went from being the ultimate strength of the attack, at times uncontrollable, the almost total ineffectiveness of last year, finished in seventeenth place in the league for average yards per game. Combined with limited efficiency Redzone, just over 48% of opportunities turned into 6 points, the fact is symbolic in respect of Manning and his receivers, who produced 402 points, however, eighth best result so far.

Confident in the complete recovery of Brandon Jacobs, truck freight that weighs like a linebacker that can bring with you everything is, and Ahmad Bradshaw, which for some is the true barometer of Rushing game because of its lower-dimensional, the racing game is expected to return to the top of the NFL, driven by a line until two seasons ago did not rival the best of it, and has instead experienced a slight decline that could achieve some change.

It seems, in fact, that Kareem McKenzie does not offer the guarantees of a time since his physical decline, which has affected the performance, while Chris Snee it was just one year under par, from which should be recovered.

The line is firmly anchored by center Shaun O'Hara, one of the best interpreters of the role of the alloy, and is completed on the left by David Diehl and Rich Seubert, safe and reliable. The Giants aim very second year William Beatty, who they say could replace McKenzie on the right end of the department.

The receivers were a pleasant surprise: the call to Hakeem Nicks in the first round of 2009 was more than apt and is rewarded with a debut from 790 yards, 6 goals and played on many deep, but the real explosion was received by Steve Smith , passed by specialist third down conversion to target capable of 107 receptions for 1,220 yards and seven goals.

Excellent also the figures recorded by Mario Mannigham third year Michigan invisible in his first two seasons, while it may be time to see something to Ramses Barden, who has spent a huge target full year apprenticeship. The tight end holder, and one of the main offensive options, the solid will be Kevin Boss.

With the lack of strategic support of Steve Spagnuolo defensive department has experienced a decline in vertical single year Bill Sheridan to lead the industry, proved a complete disaster, and a distant relative of the dominant department-level pressure had reached a level of excellence .

The strength of the defense was an aggressive, able to scrape together sacks in large quantities, which has felt the weight of injuries to Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyora. Tuck is the most versatile of the two, so that the staff uses it often also tackles while Umenyora must catch up mentally especially after losing the place for performance in tone, otherwise lose it again in favor of rookie Jason Pierre-Paul a first choice specializing in sacks.

The owners are tackles Barry Cofield and Chris Canty, a former Dallas, with Rocky Bernard to provide weight and wind coming off the bench, while Mathias Kiwanuka is the main backup of ends.

The biggest question mark comes from the linebackers, where he waived Antonio Pierce, then retired, and where problems persisted earlier. The trio will be completely new and untested, will have the privilege of being able to count on the middle linebacker Keith Bulluck, to test his return from a long recovery post-injury, with Michael Boley, who was also injured in 2009, and Clint Sintim second year from Virginia, from starters to each of two lateral positions.

The secondary played a lot in the area, according to indications given by the new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, estimator of the cover 2, and must verify the physical condition of Kenny Philips, free safety who seemed ready to howl for a season before severely injured knee why Antrell Rolle came from Arizona.

The secondary has given everything and have failed to communicate adequately cover: The cornerbacks are provided as starters Terrell Thomas, who has risen to the accident place Aaron Ross and Corey Webster, Bruce Johnson and Ross that make a solid package of nickel backs.

The special teams will return to Lawrence Tynes, kicker who finished 2009 with 27 kicks to score on 32, and punter Matt Dodge, freshman from East Carolina to replace the retired Jeff Feagles. They also seek answers for the return of football, especially in a situation of deficit kickoff.

In New York want a quick and speedy return to the playoffs, which could be several obstacles to the divisional level soon, and could see the Giants starting in apparent disadvantage due to a defense almost completely new, very inexperienced, who will play live on the defensive ends to mask other deficiencies.

Eli Manning, Peyton that will collide with the second week of the season, is ready to lead an attack on a young but tested, so to maintain balance way to Coughlin, who lives each year to the edge, will score at least as the year last.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles have finally turned the corner forgoing the services of Donovan McNabb, the quarterback who was among the best ever in franchise history, player and symbol of a period that saw Phildelphia get so close to the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The organization, however, is solid and coach Andy Reid is a huge tactical skills and management that will ensure not to feel the warm fans at Lincoln Financial Field this year as a reconstruction, but as a continuation of the winning project led forward in all these years.

After two holdings by the holder in place of McNabb, officially begins the era of Kevin Kolb long-distance, meaning that the owner will be for one year and must demonstrate their ability to remain firmly at the controls.

Kolb has all the characteristics required to juggle the West Coast version of Reid, who is historically biased toward the air phase, can perform all the throws with accuracy on medium-short, and may trigger a fair number of weapons, given the talent in this roster.

The agreement with the best available receiver, DeSean Jackson, was already evident when, in two games mentioned above, Kolb had found a way to also cues the best playmaker of the team, responsible for eight goals over 50 yards and 12 total, obtained between races, receptions, and special operations teams.

Alongside him there will be another young springboard, Jeremy macline, which has been successful is gathering a couple of deep bombs and McNabb is the average distance, adjusting the role of number two receiver and also showed good resistance to contacts.

Last year was also the final explosion of Brent Celek, 971 yards and eight goals, the player who is becoming one of the best tight ends in the league phase of reception, a very important role to operate properly schemes proposed by Reid.

The racing game, after the surrender of Brian Westbrook will be in total hands of LeSean McCoy, already holds four times in 2009 and has worked hard to put on the pounds required to play most of the down. To run power, however, there will be the newcomer Mike Bell, fresh from the title with the Saints, and fullback Leonard Weaver, capable of receiving, which has just signed the richest contract of all ages for his role.

The line has played under his standard level because of the numerous accidents that have taken away many potential players. Jason Peters, who had forced the trade coming from Buffalo, has disappointed a lot in relation to its potential, while the more solid player was Todd Herremans, long guard left of reliability.

It relies heavily on the return of Stacy Andrews, Right Guard by wobbly knees, and to Jamaal Jackson, center, facing the same problem. Complete alignment with the right tackle Winston Justice, sponsored holder in 2009, while the depth is very good thanks to Max Jean-Gilles and Nick Cole.

The defense has been aggressive as it was at the time of the late Jim Johnson, but must answer several questions that arise all the time, especially among the linebackers. The scheme relies on rotations and versatility of the men used, is to hit the quarterback a myriad of different positions and played mainly in the area.

The best part of a line is always different Trent Cole, 12.5 sacks in the league last year, which will be joined by Darryl Tapp, obtained via trade from Seattle, while the situation likely will use the race of the big body tackles Mike Patterson and Broderick Bunkley, with Trevor Laws, Victor Abiamiri and rookie Brandon Graham certainly present in the fast rotation of Sean McDermott, who inherited the department by Johnson, and continues his willingness to always have fresh people in the field.

The linebackers are the biggest questions of the defense: Stewart Bradley in 2008 was a force of nature in the middle, but his physical status will be tested after a 2009 passed completely on the sidelines, with Akeem Jordan and Moise Fokou to align the sides with the variable represented by Omar Gaither. Chris Gocong, pretty disappointing, was shipped to Cleveland, and Detroit came from Ernie Sims, the fifth year from Florida State.

The secondary, despite the contribution in terms of interceptions Asante Samuel have not yet found the ideal replacement for Brian Dawkins, whose departure was still a mistake.
The other owner is the expert cornerback Ellis Hobbs, limited by neck problems, with Joselito Hanson ready for nickel situations, while the strong safety falls on the third year starter, will be reliable Quintin Mikell. The role of free safety, where the discontinuity has reigned last year, could be the territory of [n] Marlin Jackson, who joined the Colts and has always played by cornerback with the alternative of rookie Nate Allen, followed by Macho Harris and Quentin Demps, also in trouble in 2009.

David Akers is a kicker of the highest level of reliability, accuracy and leg, while we expect more from Sav Rocca, Australian punter in his third year in the city. DeSean Jackson will be the return of the most dangerous places available.

Needless to argue, as they are already quite obvious that the year the Eagles will be more durable because the better the performance of Kevin Kolb, the new man of the team and the main responsible for the operation of an attack that has produced so much to limit concessions of a defense that was 19th in the NFL in points allowed to opponents. Reid has the experience and skill necessary to drive up again this team has done in the past with lower-level directors and could do it again, as in Kolb, apparently, nothing is missing to give continuity to this great and respectable winning cycle.

Washington Redskins

In the capital has come a huge clean-up with a few years too late, which led to radical changes in the conduct of the team management and tactical level, with new faces in all major areas of the organization.

Dan Snyder has been the usual, volcanic, with the only difference that the owner has finally understood the need to silence the language in areas that did not compete, and Vinnie Cerrato, co-author of the epic disasters combined market phase was removed, as it was Jim Zorn, too gentleman to be a head coach in NFL ruthless.

The new general manager Bruce Allen will be responsible to make the process better through the draft scouting department and make more informed decisions on which will have opportunity to speak even the new head coach, Mike Shanahan, the man who wanted us to predict shoulder a team with similar traditions.

The franchise also has a new face in the field, with former Eagles took Donovan McNabb via a trade to make an immediate impact to a role that has never had a player of his depth in the last two decades.

The former divisional rival that Jason Campbell will bring leadership, let him go to Oakland, he never had, and no great difficulty in entering the branded variant offensive Shanahan West Coast Factory, which will be implemented here by his son Kyle, a former offensive coordinator who has returned from an excellent job in Houston, where he literally transformed the department.

Obviously not enough, because many things in Washington must go still in place, and doubts are always many offensive. Shanahan rediscover Clinton Portis, a running back who had chosen and then traded him to Denver itself, among the first player to have his ears lowered under the strict new leadership, he has never loved training with comrades in offseason.

To check his physical condition will be in serious danger after three seasons filled with injuries mixed by hand to say his chances of being asked back for the zone blocking system dell'head typical coach, which will share the course with Larry Johnson, runner power, and presumably with Willie Parker, but no longer has the speed of a time.

Ryan Torain, a former pupil of Shanahan in Denver, was taken under his wing, and will be given the opportunity to make the final roster.

Among the receivers, there are still a mystery to the two young men chosen Zorn, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly will be the year for which the ultimate truth. Thomas, who has physical talent to sell, which is expected more and that should end up being the second starter alongside veteran Santana Moss, while Kelly has spent more time in the infirmary than on the field, and between the two is most at risk of being thrown away a choice.

The roster of training camp also sees the presence of veteran Joey Galloway, 38 years or even half a step Velcia less than its best years, and younger Bobby Wade and Roydell Williams.

Moss will regain its dangerous in the open since the quarterback who will have, but there is a completely unstoppable receiver to the roster, and this could be a serious problem if the races did not work. Much better the situation of tight ends, where Chris Cooley has already developed a good understanding with McNabb and expects to redeem a 2009 cut short by injuries, and Fred Davis will see even greater use after a league where its potential has finally come out to found with 509 yards and six goals.

The offensive line has been much debated, especially in a negative way, and well-founded reasons. Campbell, of the great professional he is, has never held up his line for the great lack of protection received, although the blame for his lack of development is to be found there.

With the fourth overall pick came to town Okalhoma Trent Williams, who is trying to become the new left tackle of the decade after the withdrawal of the legendary Chris Samuels, and by trade reached Jammal Brown, a good shot if he can return to health physically, fighting for the right side with the disappointment Stephon Heyer.

The center will still be the reliable Casey Rabac, and the guards will be Derrick Dockery, who returned to their levels after the sabbatical year in Buffalo, and the versatile Artie Hicks, who can play two positions. Among the reserves, there is not much to smile about, and in case of accidents, the roster does not provide adequate depth.

News in defense, where the coordinator will be skilled and reliable Jim Haslett, who has installed a 3-4 that the staff roster should digest easily, considering the positive characteristics of the players you have.

Albert Haynesworth, who returned to camp a thousand moans, saw impose an iron fist for Shanahan on him, the real danger of being outside looking in despite the status of Washington's highest-paid player.

He will be the nose tackle holder, whether they like it or not, in situations where you defend the races, with Ma'ake Kemoeatu to enter on several occasions, to make himself a nose tackle or play the 4-3 who propose Haslett against obvious passing situations.

The sides will play the veteran Philip Daniels, 37 years and not hear, and Kedric Golston, went from tackle to end, while the transition more difficult would be to Andre Carter, who will pass it to outside linebacker, a position where his career has not never convinced.

The numerous options available to him will still get occasionally in place by end of 4-3, with the former rookie of the wonders Brian Orakpo, author of 11 sacks in a debut to say the least fantastic.

Yet the former Texas in the base defense, will play outside linebacker from athletic, while the center will guarantee London Fletcher, preacher in the desert who sacrifices himself in every single game despite 35 years, and Rocky McIntosh, who abandons the spot lineabcker weakside.

The secondary Carlos Rogers confirmed the couple, swinging in 2009 after a career on the ascent, and DeAngelo Hall, the best team in intercepting passes, but veteran against some fool too many races. Laron Landry expected to return to the levels of early career saw her return to the favorite role, that of strong safety, while the last line of defense will be represented by one of Reed Doughty and Kareem Moore.

The special teams are immersed in doubt, with the younger Graham Gano and Justin Medlock did battle for the role of kicker and the newly arrived Josh Bidwell called on to repeat its high standard after a 2009 spent watching others play through injury.

Returns will be assigned to rookie Terrence Austin, UCLA sprinter who will be well developed from wide receiver, and Philip Buchanon, known for its ability to effectively return the punt.

The improvement is clear, on paper, but all the work done by force and digested quickly, will result in wins in a very competitive division, which saw at least two teams on the Redskins in terms of quality and ability to make the playoffs.

The project is certainly in the short term, given the age of McNabb, but the opportunity to return to its former glory is really close, especially if it comes, the Shanahan family, the historical continuity that this team deserves to finally be at management.
