The Dallas Cowboys have been the category of the NFC East final season, because of a league-leading offense and a protection that led the NFL in takeaways.
However with Dallas dropping key gamers on either side of the ball and the Philadelphia Eagles including a number of notable items, along with the event of quarterback Jalen Hurts, there could possibly be a shift within the division this fall.
Final 12 months, the Eagles surprisingly earned a wild-card berth. Are they now primed to take the NFC East from Dallas? Emmanuel Acho weighed in on the subject Thursday.
Will Eagles dethrone Cowboys in NFC East?
Emmanuel Acho ponders whether or not Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will soar to the highest of the division in 2022.
"I believe the Philadelphia Eagles can completely win the NFC East," Acho mentioned. "However you must go take it from the Cowboys. The Cowboys, as illegitimate as they're from being Tremendous Bowl contenders, are extremely professional as NFC East contenders. I imagine in order for you one thing in that division, you must go get it in that division."
Acho believes Philly now has the expertise to take management of the NFC East. The group's notable offseason additions embody wideout A.J. Brown, cornerback James Bradberry and edge defender Haason Reddick.
"The Eagles, on paper, look the half," Acho mentioned. "I just like the Eagles' roster simply as a lot and possibly greater than the Cowboys'. The Eagles have two bona-fide receivers. The Eagles have a beginning working again that also has the juice. The Eagles have a quarterback that is nonetheless going to develop exponentially. So the Eagles obtained the juice, however you gotta go take it from the Cowboys."
There hasn't been a repeat winner within the NFC East since 2003-04 (the Eagles).
Lastly, Acho mentioned the destiny of the Cowboys within the division is dependent upon whether or not QB Dak Prescott stays wholesome, how Hurts develops for the Eagles, and the way Carson Wentz performs in his first season with the Washington Commanders. Even perhaps the New York Giants and first-year coach Brian Daboll can have one thing to say about issues.
"I do not suppose the Cowboys personal the division," Acho added. "I believe Dak Prescott does, and I believe there is a distinction. Dak Prescott runs by the NFC East. He owns the NFC East and everyone related to it."
