Burning questions for NFC East teams
These are the questions for the NFC East Teams..
It's been crazy in Dallas since Jerry Jones took over in 1989. Every player that comes here knows it and they just have to adjust to the atmosphere, it's called being a professional. If these guys can't get over the hump it isn't going to be because of the various 'personalities'. The main reasons will be because they didn't work hard enough or they just weren't good enough.Dallas Cowboys
Q:So many personalities. Is the Cowboys' locker room doomed?
A: I'm currently ripping through an advanced copy of Jeff Pearlman's latest book Boys Will Be Boys — a tell-all on the Jimmy Johnson-era Cowboys — and if those personalities could all mesh and win three Super Bowl titles, this team surely can too. Those guys make this group look like a bunch of choir boys. In truth, winning breeds happiness. And as long as T.O.'s getting the ball, the Cowboys are winning and the fans are happy with the product — this motley crew will be just fine.
Poor Tiki. The guy is their best player for all those years and he never gets a ring. Then the very next year after he leaves them high and dry they go and win the Super Bowl without him. Maybe if he wasn't such a jerk when talking about the team as soon as he left the football gods wouldn't have been so harsh on him, lol.New York Giants
Q: When will the Giants retire Tiki Barber's No. 21?
A: They won't be. Rookie Kenny Phillips will be wearing No. 21 this season for New York. Maybe "The Today Show" will retire the oven mits Tiki used in his latest enthralling cooking segment, though.
You know Runyan was ecstatic about hearing Strahan was getting out of the game. He used to abuse Runyan at times. The bad part is that the Giants pass rush is still going to be pretty good and the players filling in for Strahan are going to be younger and fresher so they won't be taking the occasional play off here and there.Philadelphia Eagles
Q: Was Jon Runyan the happiest guy in the world when news of Michael Strahan's retirement became official?
A: Runyan told the Philadelphia Daily News last week, "Retirement doesn't mean anything. All you've got to do is sign back up and you can play again ... As of now, he's done. Anything can change; people get hurt. Money persuades people. We'll see." In other words — he'll believe it when he sees it.
When I see Jason Campbell playing consistently and not throwing all those silly late game INT's then I will worry about the Skins. Until then I think they are a middle of the pack team who will play tough, but could easily go 6-10 in 2008.Washington Redskins
Q: Aside from Joe Gibbs, what other big pieces did Washington lose in the off-season?
A: Umm ... nothing. In fact, all 22 starters from last year's NFC Wildcard team are back for '08. Washington also added two intriguing names on defense — oft-injured DE Erasmus James and workhorse safety Stuart Schweigert. Add in all those wideouts from the draft and you have a pretty exciting squad. Everyone's talking Dallas and New York in the NFC East this year. Don't sleep on the 'Skins.
