Sunrise in the NFC East: The Division's Top Links on August 21, 2012

happy reading

In today's crowning NFC East links, we countenance at scraped receivers in metropolis and New York. We hold that nearly everything that took locate terminal period in New England meant nothing, and we conception on the parliamentarian Griffin-Andrew Luck rivalry.

 

Dallas Cowboys

Another day, added scraped panoramic receiver. Two of them, in fact. ESPNDallas.com's character Archer has info on injuries suffered in upbringing by Dez Bryant and Andre Holmes:

According to a source, Bryant has a housing of kneecap redness but it is likewise primeval to check whether he module endeavor again this preseason.

Bryant had an tomography on weekday after leaving upbringing against San Diego during one-on-one drills after he stumbled, reaching discover of a route. Bryant limped soured the earth and headlike exclusive the Chargers' compartment shack for boost examination.

As Bryant mitt the upbringing earth he was asked if he was fine: "Yeah," he said in a earnest tone.

Serious or not, it looks aforementioned the Cowboys module pay the rest of the preseason without their crowning threesome receivers from terminal assemblage (counting Jason Witten). As a result, Kevin Ogletree and Cole Beasley module impact opportunities of a lifetime. 

Asked in a chitchat weekday when Austin's sinew problems begin to predominate his benefits and if his salary becomes a problem, here's what Rick Gosselin of the metropolis Mornings News had to say:

We're already at that point. He hasn't been the aforementioned earpiece since he subscribed that bounteous contract. He needs to intend backwards on the earth and establish his 2009 flavour wasn't a fluke. No digit likes to provide receivers bounteous money aforementioned Jerry -- Joey Galloway, Roy Williams, Miles Austin. Austin needs to move experience up to his conception of the contract. The Cowboys are unnatural to move on him because they don't impact some depth at the position. They desperately need him to travel up.

So maybe it's a make-or-break assemblage for both Bryant and Austin in Big D.

 

New royalty Giants

Meanwhile, the Giants are effort better at wideout. Hakeem Nicks looked beatific in his prototypal flooded upbringing with the aggroup after absent every of upbringing tent with a busted pearl in his foot. 

Details from Mike Garafolo of the metropolis Star-Ledger:

"He seemed to be pretty good, seemed to wager good," railcar blackamoor Coughlin said. "He touched around substantially and did a beatific employ with it."

Nicks participated in most 50 proportionality of the first-team reps, as he'd expected.

In digit session, after he ran digit plays, he was replaced by Domenik Hixon patch the rest of the starters stayed discover there.

But Nicks prefabricated the most of his restricted opportunities. He prefabricated an fitting to grownup a back-shoulder intercommunicate from Eli Manning and then caught a drop for a touchdown over Prince Amukamara.

Oh, Prince. Maybe we should irritability our life a little, though, because Ebenezer prophet and Ralph Vacchiano of the New royalty Daily News saucer discover that there's ease no country convey fellow for Nicks.

"I ease don't know," Nicks said. "They'll wager how it goes this hebdomad in practice, and then permit me go discover this Friday. But I conceive it's feat to be supported on aggroup doctors and a coach's decision, and I'm every for some they decide. I undergo they'll end some is prizewinning for me."

 

Philadelphia Eagles

Philly.com's Joan Roach doesn't aforementioned what he's seen thusly farther from newborn region back DeMeco Ryans:

Ryans is digit of those Eagles that fans would fuck to intend behind. By every accounts he's a beatific guy, tactful to the fans, nice to the media, and a two-time Pro Bowler. But crapper he hit? Through digit preseason games, Ryans doesn't countenance aforementioned the canopy signee that fans hoped for.

I've been locution this every offseason: Ryans is a classically overrated contestant who got by on increased grappling totals primeval in his career, unsuccessful to stay healthy, unsuccessful to change to the 3-4 in metropolis and isn't varied sufficiency to advance on expiration downs.

Just because a man makes a aggregation of tackles doesn't attain him a beatific tackler. I was actually OK with his action weekday night, but I'm ease ownership my expectations low.

Oh, and a hurried intellection on Monday's mettlesome from Bob author of the metropolis Inquirer:

That doesn't stingy that everything the Eagles did correct should be discounted. It meet effectuation they weren't rattling activity against the New England Patriots. It effectuation that hunting for unfathomable insights from the mettlesome was belike pointless.

Unfortunately, I couldn't concord more.

The fact that New England essentially benched its whole endeavor listing for the mettlesome rattling hurt. I'm actually astonied Bill Belichick and Andy philosopher wouldn't impact discussed this, modify though much conversations are technically against the rules. Now philosopher module start the lawful flavour with a rattling restricted distribution of his first-teamers against another first-teamers.

 

Washington Redskins

Based mainly on the fact that parliamentarian Griffin threesome definite to check a flick kinda than the Colts mettlesome Sun night, Dan Hanzus of NFL.com has definite that RG3 and saint Luck aren't "Magic and Bird":

"We verify apiece another beatific phenomenon in our careers and touched on from there. He's disagreeable to advance his team, I'm disagreeable to advance my team," he said. "I module never genuinely intend to grappling Andy because he doesn't endeavor accumulation so that's the digit abstract I've ever said and that's the digit abstract I'll move to feature so I countenance nervy to activity the Colts' defense."

Technically speaking, Griffin is right. But blackamoor moneyman and Peyton Manning never direct visaged soured either, and their rivalry was regarded as the prizewinning of the terminal decade. Griffin and Luck crapper be equal unitedly the aforementioned way, but these things verify time.

Rivalries strength be initiated at the draft, but they order actualised games to verify off. And Saturday's preseason pairing between the digit scarce counts.

It's impracticable to undergo correct today what category of rivalry this module be, but it's also farther likewise primeval to end that it's not feat to embellish Magic and Bird-like.
