STORYLINE: The Redskins finally have a coach and a quarterback in Mike Shanahan and Donovan McNabb, but all has not started well with the new boss' feud with big DT Albert Haynesworth. Meanwhile, with McNabb down the road, much to the delight of plenty of nfl jerseys
Eagles fans, the Kevin Kolb era begins in Philly. Can the Giants' defense, an outright embarrassment last year, revive under new coordinator Perry Fewell and can the Cowboys' offense be as punchless as it has looked in the preseason?
BEST COACH: Not Wade Phillips. Mike Shanahan and Tom Coughlin have rings but Andy Reid and his staff get the most out of the Eagles year after year. This season will test the wisdom of trading McNabb within the division, especially with so many experts predicting doom for a team that went 11-5 last year. Reid's on the hot seat for one of the few times in his career.
BEST PLAYER: New Jersey product Miles Austin had a breakthrough 2009 season that put him on the verge of superstardom, not to mention a mega-contract. It remains to be seen if the receiver's relationship with Tony Romo is as cozy as the one he's been having with Kim Kardashian.
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF: Anything happens in Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
the NFC East - good or bad for any team. It's always volatile, especially with the Redskins thrown in as an X-factor this year. If the Cowboys and Giants sputter badly, job security may be an issue for Phillips and Coughlin. Coughlin's red face could conflict with the drab gray color scheme at the new stadium.
KEY ADDITION: McNabb is a definite upgrade for the Redskins. They have been lacking a field general seemingly forever. But his preseason start doesn't bode well. He missed time with hamstring injury and considering his injury history the last few years, it raises questions about his durability.
KEY SUBTRACTION: The Cowboys let Flozell Adams walk away as a free agent and it could be one of the best things to happen to Jerry Jones' talented but underachieving club. Adams was the focal point for all the stupid and undisciplined things the Cowboys have done to sabotage themselves over the years.
X-FACTOR: The Eagles not only have to replace McNabb, Dallas Cowboys jersey
but also Brian Westbrook. That's going to fall on second-year RB LeSean McCoy, who had somewhat of an uneven camp and has battled a quad injury. McCoy saw time last year and averaged 4.1 yards per carry while setting the team's rookie rushing record. It will be different as a feature back, however, especially if McCoy is to help solve the Eagles' short-yardage and goal line issues.
