NFC East Update

Here is this week's update on news from the NFC East:

Cowboys Corral

The natives may be getting restless in Big D as Tony Romo has looked less than spectacular in the Cowboys recent OTA's. With T.O. gone all the attention has been focused on Romo as this is now his team and the success or failure this season now falls square on his shoulders. Romo has no reason to be concerned as his biggest fan and cheerleader, Jerry Jones as openly stated that he has all the faith in the world in his quarterback.

Giants Stompings

The Giants just finished up their last mini-camp before training camp opens in early August. The mood was upbeat as optimism is high for the upcoming season. Head coach Tom Coughlin addressed the team after the final workout, leaving the team a very specific message; do not forget how last season ended. Just to recap, the Giants had secured home field advantage through out the playoffs, only to lose the Eagles in their first post season game.

Eagles Nest

A familiar face may be retuning to the Birds, as DT Hollis Thomas was reportedly in town last week to take a physical. If all goes well, Thomas would be signed as a back up to DT Mike Patterson and Brodrick Bunkley to add some depth to the D-Line. Hollis who spent the last three seasons in New Orleans, was released by the Saints in late April. Hollis spent the first ten years of his career in Philadelphia before being traded to the Saints in 2006. Along with his aggressive style of play on the field, Thomas is best known for his colorful commentary off the field.

Redskins Roundup

Former Eagles WR James Thrash was released the other day by the Redskins after failing his physical. Thrash has been bothered by a nagging neck injury that may force him into retirement. Thrash played twelve seasons in the NFL as he was an undrafted free agent of the Redskins back in 1997. He played three seasons with the Eagles after being signed as a free agent in 2001. His first season with the Birds was the best of his career with 63 receptions for 833 yards.
