NFC EAST PREVIEW

By Dave Schwab on October 25, 2009 1:02 PM 0

While the Eagles have the day off as the await their Monday night match up against the Redskins, the two other teams in the east are in action today. The Cowboys host the Falcons in a 4:25 P.M. start while Arizona travels to the Meadowlands to play the Giants in tonight's game.

This could be a make or break game for the Cowboys as they are currently 3-2, but have yet to show that they are one of the better teams in the NFC. They have been very inconsistent on offense as QB Tony Romo has yet to really click with his receiving corps. WR Roy Williams has not lived up to the expectations of replacing Terrell Owens as the #1 receiver. Miles Austin had a huge game last week against the Chiefs, but it is way too early to say whether or not he will be a factor in this offense. If they have any hope of beating the Falcons they will have to get more prodution from their running game. RB Marion Barber, who has been hampered with a hamstring injury should be ready to go which will definitely help. The Cowboy's defense has also been an area of concern so far this season. They are currently ranked 22th overall and 27th against the pass giving up an average of 251 yards per game. 

The 5-1 Giants are still reeling after getting blown of the field by the Saints last week in a 48- 27 rout which was their first loss of the season. Their #1 ranked defense was torched by New Orleans for 369 yards in the air in a game that they never laid a hand on QB Drew Brees as he had all day to throw. They cannot afford to let Cardinal's QB Kurt Warner have the same luxury or the results could be the same. Offensively, the Giants should have no trouble moving the ball against Arizona's defense in the air, as the Cardinals are ranked 31st in passing yards allowed. Running the ball against this team could be another story as Arizona is actually ranked 1st in the league against the run. While the Giants are favored by over a touchdown in this game, they do not want to get caught looking ahead to next week's big showdown with the Eagles.
