Cowboys, Redskins and Giants look to contend for NFC Eastti
(AP)—The Dallas Cowboys like to think
of themselves as America’s Team. They
are more like America’s Soap Opera.
Can Chan bring harmony to a team that
lost its way? Can Troy find his groove? Will
Emmitt find the end zone? Will Michael
put away his
scissors?
The Cow
boys, two
years re
moved from
their fifth Su
per Bowl title,
stumbled to
6-10 last season. They still have the big-
name offensive talent that won three
championships in the ’90s. But they played
old in 1997, and the only consistency was
mediocrity as the Cowboys finished 20th
in the NFL in rushing, 20th in passing and.
naturally, 20th overall.
Troy Aikman became increasingly
frustrated with his lack of receiving op
tions besides Michael Irvin, and Emmitt
Smith finished with four touchdowns. In
the 1994 and 1995 seasons combined, he
scored 46.
New coach Chan Gailey hopes to free
Irvin from double-teaming by sometimes
putting him in the backfield. But Irvin,
who got more unwanted attention for the
training-camp “horseplay” with lineman
Everitt Mclver, undoubtedly would find
even more freedom if either Billy Davis or
free agent Ernie Mills come through.
The Cowboys’ rushing defense wore
down late in the season, while their sel
dom-tested pass defense ranked No. 1.
The full-time return of defensive tackle
Leon Lett will help the imbalance, but de
fensive ends Kavika Pittman and No. 1
pick Greg Ellis are suspect.
The New York Giants, meanwhile, were
the surprise winners of the NFC East last
year, and one stat separated them from
everyone else in the division. Dallas,
Philadelphia, Arizona and Washington
ranked 24th, 25th, 27th and 28th, respec
tively, in the NFL in rushing defense. The
Giants were third.
And New York has just the right of
fense to take advantage of the disparity.
Halfbacks Tiki Barber and Tyrone
Wheatley rotated behind fullback
Charles Way, and the three rolled to
nearly 1,800 yards. Gary Brown will be
added to the mix this year, and Way will
see the ball even more.
Coach of the Year Jim Fassel replaced Dave
Brown at quarterback with Danny Kanell,
who distinguished himself more for winning
than putting up impressive numbers.
The Giants were the first division win
ner to average less than 5 yards per pass
play in 25 years, and they were 28th in the
NFL in passing. They upgraded the receiv
ing corps in the draft, taking Joe Jurevicius
and Brian Alford, and they are counting on
Ike Hilliard, who sat out 1997 with a neck
injury, to be a big-play receiver.
It was defense where the Giants ex
celled last year, with budding stars in
end Michael Strahan, linebacker Jessie
Armstead and cornerback Jason Sehorn
helping stuff the run and force turnovers.
But they lost Sehorn for the season to
a knee injury in a preseason game when
he was returning a kickoff for the first
time in his career.
Washington, 25th or worse against the
run the last five years, spent lavishly to
plug the weakness with two 300-pound
defensive tackles.
In a three-day periodinFei
Redskins signed Dana Stull
1997 Defensive Player of the Ye
million, six-year contract,andt
Cincinnati for Dan Wilkinson,i
him to a $21.4 million, five-yei
But coach Norv Turnerhaso:
besides the defensive line.
Gus Frerotte ranked next-to
NFL in completion percentage
the release of Henry Ellard.tii
have to rely on Michael Wesi
Leslie Shepard at wide recei
brook, the fourth pick of the
has just 34 receptions in each
three years.
Terry Allen has beenawea
ning back, but he missed sixge
broken thumb, sprained left
sprained right ankle last year,
