Free Agency... 

Peter King thinks that the Eagles' L.J. Smith is going to have a terrific year with T.O. split wide of him. Didn't I say that a few weeks ago?

King also lists the available free agents: the Steelers Jason Gildon would be a terrific pickup for the Iggles. He's a good player and he could help against the run.

-An intriguing pickup: Eddie George. Why not? He'd give the Eagles the third tailback that they need, and he's love to work in the Eagles system. Eddie George is the kind of guy who shows up to win, and I bet that he'd take a little less money to get back to the Super Bowl.

signing: Kurt Warner in New York? It is not enough that the poor guy is a Christian playing in Sodom & Gomorrah, but he has to play for the Giants?

-Vinny in Dallas? I have the idea of the Cowboys being led by a competent QB, so I hate that signing...

-Jeff Blake? Sheesh! ... I mean, what are they thinking? I just don't get it. It isn't like Blake is a proven winner: the guy flopped everywhere he's been: Baltimore, Cincinnati, New Orleans ... I just don't get it. Give Andy Hall a chance, Andy!

CNNSI's Duane Cross sees a Miami-Minnesota Super Bowl. I don't think so, Tim. I think the Vikings will be a little better in '04, but I don't see it. I'd give the edge to the Falcons or Buccaneers or Seahawks to challenge the Eagles and Rams for the top slots in the conference. Randy Moss? Dante Culpepper? I don't see it. Too streaky. Too inconsistent.

And Miami? Never. I like AJ Feeley, but he's stepping into a mess down there. That team can run, but it can't stretch the field. And they were over-rated on defense. The Patriots will win the AFC East in 2004, like they always do, because they are tougher and the Patriots staff has figured out how to win with a cheap/cost-effective system that maximizes players talents. The Dolphins spend too much and are afflicted by arrogance. Cross does make a cogent point about how the losses of Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent hurt, but Miami and Minnesota? Please.
