Anyone pick up the 2014 NFL magazines yet like Athlon or Lindy's? Just wanted to mention a few interesting topics and predictions.
Lindys has Philly in 1st and Dallas in 2nd. They picked Denver over Green Bay in the SB.
Athlon has Philly in 1st and Dallas in 3rd. Athlon went with Denver over Seattle.
Now a couple other things I found interesting because I love these magazine during the boring off season.
#1 Lindys had Dallas as the #5 OLine. You have to give it to Jerry and his boys for fixing this long term issue.
#2 Lindys had Sean Lee as the #2 "MIKE" and Athlon had him 6th.
3. Lindys had Jason Peters 2nd, Tyron Smith 4th and Trent Williams 12th at Tackle but Athlon had Trent Williams 1st, Jason Peters 2nd and Tyron Smith 4th.
4. Now get this because I was shocked. Athlon had Zach Ertz as the 5th best TE in the NFL. Huhh?
5. I think both had Evan Mathis as the best Guard in the NFL and I just dont see it. He was a 8 years journey man before he went to Philly. He can move extremely well but he never seemed dominant to me.
6. Athlon has Dez Bryant as the 9th best WR. Come on. No way.
7. Im not saying this just to seem like Im being fair but they have Evan Mathis as the #1 guard, Kelce as the #2 Center (Fredricks 10th and 8th), and Peters as the #2 Tackle but it seems like our line breaks down a lot during the season. Philly has a really good OLine but just not dominating enough to rank all these guys so highly.
Heres the write up on Dallas for those who are interested, "The Cowboys are never bad enough to get top draft picks but not good enough to please their fans. Tony Romo coming off 2nd back surgery in less then a year, so its time for the Cowboys to protect him. THey can win with a running game, but that means more of a commitment to Murray. THey should with a solid OLine that added Z. Martin. Look for him to play RG. Dez is a franchise WR who needs to mature... T. Williams is a capable compliment, but Dallas could use more outside play makers. D is a real concern, with Dallas ranked last in total yards and 3 times punctured for more then 45 points. Hope is that rookie D Lawrence becomes the nest D Ware. Secondary is horrible with Mo Claiborne under orders to pick up his play. LB S Lee the teams best defender, but is too often hurt. How Melton recovers from an ACL determines how much they miss Hatcher. Really need a playmaker at back end of D, though CHurch was impressive last year.
