NFC East team reports rundown
Sporting News correspondents
Each week, Sporting News correspondents provide insight and analysis on every NFL team. Here's a sample of what you'll find in the latest NFC [East] team reports.
EAST DIVISION
DALLAS COWBOYS: Because of uncertainty involving Terry Glenn (knee), the team is counting on third-year pro Miles Austin to add speed at wide receiver. Austin (6-3, 215) has good size and has improved his route running and catching technique.
NEW YORK GIANTS: After his strong work in the offseason program, third-year LB Gerris Wilkinson is in solid shape to replace Kawika Mitchell on the weak side. The club hopes Wilkinson (6-2, 231), a slender athlete who can run and hit, has the instincts to be a consistent player.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Exceptional vision is what makes RB Brian Westbrook one of the NFL's best. He has become a master at judging tackling angles and finding ways to avoid head-on collisions, especially in the open field and in the passing game.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Rocky McIntosh has made good progress from major knee surgery in '07 and is working hard to return in time for camp. When healthy, he has excellent speed for an outside linebacker. The team needs his playmaking ability.
