The NFC East Free-for-All

After another great week of football today's TakeDown will review how the teams in the NFC East are looking at this point after week nine. The NFC East has always been an unpredictable division, and it has been known to come down to the last game in the season to decide its champion. The following will be a quick rundown of each team, their recent activity, and what inside analysts Herm Edwards and Merril Hoge believe they should do via espn.com.



Eagles (6-2 1st in NCF East) Nick Foles and the eagle had a scare against the Texans on Sunday, ans Foles went down on a hard sack fracturing his collar bone. Foles will be out indefinitely, a cracked clavicle means being out for at least one month depending on the severity of the injury. Coming in for Foles as a backup QB was former Jet Mark Sanchez.
Sanchez's offensive style is a bit quicker than Foles' at the same time it would be more beneficial to run the ball more often using Mccoy instead of relying on Sanchez  to throw the ball despite 202 yards and 2 touchdowns yesterday against Houston. Foles is set to get an MRI on Monday, and it will be interesting to see how long he will be out for, and if Sanchez can step up for the first place team in the division.

Tony Romo

Cowboys (6-3 2nd in NFC East) Romo- fractured back on Monday night against Redskins, Weeden came in but couldn't get the win against the 'skins on Monday or against the Cardinals on Sunday. They go to London to face the jags this up coming week, before having a bye the week after. The 'boys should be able to beat the jags without Romo, as they should run the ball more often. Murry is the key to winning for the Cowboys. in games he has run the ball 20+ times is 17-1.

Robert Griffin III

Redskins (3-6 4th in NFC East)- lost to vikings this past Sunday,  and remain in last place in NFC East with no sign of improving. This team has gone through a lots of distractions recently due to the constant change at the quarterback position with the overall team record at 3-6. Analysts still believe RGIII is the best option to win games, Griffin played well on Sunday despite the 29-26 loss to Minnestoa. A banged up RG3 is still better option than Colt McCoy for the Washington Redskins.

Giants (3-4 3rd in NFC East); play tonight on mnf against the Andrew Luck and the Colts. Andrew Luck is 0-2 on Monday night football games, Eli Manning and the Giants have a great opportunity to improve in the division and capitalize on other teams injuries. The Giants are 8th in total defense, but only 13 sacks in seven games. They need to get pressure on luck up front and set the pace for the rest of the game as they too face several injuries hindering Manning from taking the Giants to a better record.
