The NFC East is buzzing with impressive draft performance and major off season moves. The hype around some teams is pretty appropriate; but media’s prime focus lands on Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, the top two teams for the last many years. Although, an ex-Cowboy believes Philly will triumph over Dallas, providing moral reasons to back it up.

Super Bowl Champ mentions, “I’m buying it in a big way. I believe that football is one at the line of scrimmage, and when you look at the Eagles, they have the best offensive line and the best defensive line in the NFC East. You’re talking about a quarterback going into his second season as a starter. I believe in what Nick Sirriani is building in Philadelphia Eagles to win the division.”

“Jalen Hurts has to be better at throwing the football. I disagree in terms of the area of improvement. Jalen Hurts has to be better on the short and intermediate passes with his accuracy. Last year, he was 18 for 70 in tight-window throws. Now adding A.J. Brown should help that because A.J. Brown was top five in receiving yards on tight-window throws. So that should be an area where we see Jalen Hurts’ game take a quantum leap.”
