NFC East Whispers...3 'boys blurbs
from PFW.com:
Our sources expect the Falcons to continue to use a 4-3 defense under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who oversaw a 3-4 defense in his last stop as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator. We hear Zimmer prefers a 4-3 defense but used a 3-4 in Dallas because that was the defense of choice for head coach Bill Parcells.
Cowboys OG Marco Rivera’s career is in jeopardy following a second major back surgery in 22 months. He struggled for most of the season, but the team stuck with him over Cory Proctor, whom Bill Parcells has shown an affinity for but has never called on to play.
One Cowboys source indicates that the team has been down on DE Marcus Spears for his lack of production and development. It would not be a shock to some to see Jason Hatcher take some of Spears’ reps next season; the team reportedly has bigger plans for Hatcher, who could boost the pass rush.
All indications are that Kevin Gilbride, who took over the Giants’ play-calling duties for the final two games, will be promoted to offensive coordinator. The players responded favorably down the stretch to Gilbride’s enthusiasm and more creative game-planning.
Redskins sources think Joe Gibbs would like to bring back both SS Adam Archuleta and WR Brandon Lloyd, despite both having miserable seasons for different reasons. The team might be able to adjust its salary-cap situation enough with other cuts and reworked deals to bring both back.
