Players to Look for in 2006 in the NFC East
Up and Coming Players to look for in 06 Team by Team (NFC)
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys:
Julius Jones: out of all the cowboys, that will welcome the presense of T.O, Jones will get the most of of it. running against a defense that has to stay true, and not cheat up on the LOS. Julius is great out in the open, and is a very good slasher with great cutting ability. If he stays healthy, this guy can tear it up for a very big yr.
Al Johnson: they say he's got the weight now, does he have the strength? If he does he has the complete package, and thats what Dallas will need from his center. If not, Dallas has Andre Gurode waiting in the wings.
Chris Canty: with a yr of experience, and an offseason of training, and being in "football shape" Canty is ripe for a big yr, in terms of 3/4 DE's. He has the moves and the size to have an impact like Richard Seymour, he just has to use his tools, and play with his head this yr and limit his mental errors. Canty, within a couple yrs will be called on to lead this DL, and take it into the future.
Bradie James: Dallas needed a leader when Dat went down, and they found it in the last place anybody would have thought to look. James was already being cast off by media in training camp, but he shut them up pretty quick. He's playing for his big payday now, and money seems to motivate the NFL. Expect big tackle numbers for his this yr, and at the end of the yr, big contract numbers too.
Terence Newman: he's known to any Cowboys fan, but to most they say he's average because he doesnt put up the numbers. What they dont want to see, is that QB's dont throw to him. This yr with a better passrush(hopefully) the QB has to rush throws and has no choice but to throw at Newman. He's worked on his game, and i would like to see teams test him jumping on the pump. I Dare You
Washington Redskins:
Chris Cooley: he came on big time for the Redskins starting when they started their winning streak that got them into the playoffs. He's one of the up and coming Te's in the league. And, nobody shouldn't expect him to get better. He along with portis and moss make a good combination.
Carlos Rogers: considering the upgrade in WR's in the division..well with exception of the Eagles LoL. He plays aggressive, and jumps on the ball pretty good. He'll ave to work on that pump fake QB's give, because like Newman he fell for it quite a bit last yr.
Andre Carter: he was given big money, but he has to prove he deserved it. Or was this another case of Snyder just throwing money. He has some decent yr's in SF, and this is something I know about, but nothing to warrant 30+ mil. He's a straight line passrusher with really no moves, but straight at the QB. Probably something the Redskins wanted, if the DT next to him can keep the double team off of him, Carter can eat a teams Qb up real quick.
New York Giants:
Eli Manning: the season rest with this guy. As he started to choke as the season went along, so did the Giants hopes. He has everything a Qb could want, the talent, the genes, and the weapons on offense. But, he seems to make dumb decisions too much, and the thng is.....he's making them with virtually no pressure on him, just really bad choices. He needs to step it up, because the NFC east is going to be dogfight all yr.
Corey Webster: with the loss of will allen, and the release of peterson, Webster is forced to step up. He's big and he has the size, now all he needs is the playing time to learn on the job. The secondary might just be the weak-link because basically they're all playing together for the first time. They need some chemistry.
Lavar Arrington: He's not up and coming, but just the way he was let go by the Redskins I'd say he has a lot to prove. His reckless style is what the Giants need. Along with their 2 standout De's Arrington should cause major headaches for teams if he can return back to form.
Jonas Seawright: HUGE! DT, that the Giants are hoping steps it up and takes the starting DT opposite Clancy. The lack of DT play last yr was noticed big twards the end of the yr when teams were running over them. Jonas is getting all the reps he needs, and Giants like what they see.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Shawn Andrews: he just got a whole lot of money, so obviously the Eagles want him as their future, but they also need him to come up and hold down the fort, because Fatty isnt so durable anymore.
Reggie Brown: With TO gone, he now becomes the lead WR for a team with mediocre written all of it's Wr core. Them being a pass first team, they could be in big time trouble if he doesnt step up to the plate and take charge. He looks like he will accept the role, but the bigger question is while Fatty trust him?
L.J Smith: Another player who will get more responsibility with To out of the picture. Smith is now responsibile foe the middle of the field, because as everybody has seen, Eagle Wr's arent too keene on running over the middle. so he needs to up his game and catch everything thrown at him.
Brodrick Bunkley: yes just a rookie, but the Eagle DT were very bad last yr. Bunkley will be their answer for the loss of Simon. Very Strong and very athletic for his size and posistion. He'll be a force, and he'll need to be.
