Fast Hits
Cowboys – DC Dan Quinn is now HC Dan Quinn for the Commanders. Quinn’s alternative is Mike Zimmer. Larger query than the Coordinator change is the Defensive expertise Zimmer has to work with. Is there sufficient? Offensively there are questions at RB, the WR’s not named CeeDee Lamb, and the Offensive Line. Add a primary place schedule, and the Dax Prescott contract scenario; and I believe it’s a must to anticipate some regression from final yr. There’s excessive finish expertise on the roster (Lamb, Prescott, Micah Parsons); I’m undecided there’s a whole lot of high quality depth right here. Issues look higher for Dallas if 1st spherical decide OT Tyler Guyton, and third spherical decide OG Cooper Beebe are capable of contribute instantly.
Eagles – Philadelphia entered ’23 because the defending NFC Champion, after which started the ’23 season 10-1. It was clear there have been points although, and it wasn’t the identical staff because the yr prior. They’d misplaced each of their Coordinators. They didn’t have the go rush that they had the yr prior, and Jalen Hurts was productive however not the MVP caliber participant he was in ’23. This yr, the Eagles once more have two new Coordinators. (Vic Fangio on Protection, and Kellen Moore on Offense.) Jason Kelce retired, and so they traded Hasson Reddick. The Secondary is nice. The Ability Place expertise (Saquon Barkley a improbable praise to what that they had in-place) is nice. Each strains are in fine condition. This staff completely can get to the Tremendous Bowl.
Giants – 2022 was a really feel good yr for the Giants. ’23 was a catastrophe. After an low season extension Daniel Jones was restricted to six video games, the place he threw simply 2 TD’s in ’23. Jones performed 16 video games in ’22. If New York goes to have any hopes of rebounding in ’24, he has to remain on the sector. If he stays accessible, is a close to league-average QB, and also you couple that with their extraordinarily proficient D-Line, a .500 ish season (silly 17 video games) is inside attain. Devin Singletary will give them one thing on the bottom. He’s not as proficient as Barkley, however he’s performed 66 video games the final 4 years. 1st spherical decide (and the sixth choice total) Malik Nabers ought to rack up the targets.
Commanders – Washington misplaced their final 8 video games of the ’23 season, and I enterprise most Commanders followers didn’t care, as they had been nonetheless basking within the glow of Daniel Snyder now not being the Proprietor of the franchise. As talked about, Quinn is now the Washington HC. ’23 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is now the Washington QB after being chosen 2nd total. Daniels has some weapons (Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Brian Robinson, Austin Ekeler); however is he going to have any time to throw? By all accounts the Commanders O-Line goes to be a legal responsibility. Sam Howell did throw for practically 4,000 yards final yr, so poor O-line or not, would count on the offense to have some success. Howell additionally had 21 picks. If Daniels can keep away from the turnovers, and Quinn has the protection extra stout – 7 or 8 wins is feasible, however they nonetheless look a number of drafts and free agent cycles away from with the ability to compete for a division title.
