Week 7 BEAST TEAM
Season to date list of the best players the NFC East has at each position for the 2014 league year.
Offense
QB – Tony Romo
Tony’s got his biggest test of the year coming up as Ryan Kerrigan and company surge into AT&T Stadium. Let’s see if he can keep up with Colt. Honorable Mention – Eli Manning
RB – DeMarco Murray & LeSean McCoy
DeMarco is in league MVP races and is on pace for over 2000 yards. McCoy rested up over the bye and looks to continue his hot streak. Rashard’s injury knocks him off the list. Simply too much competition in this division here. Honorable Mention – Alfred Morris
WR – Dez Bryant & Jeremy Maclin
Dez came up big against the Giants. Maclin holds serve during the bye week. DeSean is starting to have his bad habits show for the Skins. Honorable Mention – DeSean Jackson
Tight End – Zach Ertz
This group isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. If Jordan Reed stays healthy this spot is his. For now, I have knocked Donnell out since he hasn’t done much since his big Skins game. Ertz has been the most consistent. Honorable Mention – Niles Paul
Tackle – Jason Peters & Trent Williams
Two tackles were able to handle JPP fairly easily. One didn’t. The race is so tight that this is determining who’s in the big font and who’s in the little font. Honorable Mention – Tyron Smith
Guard – Zach Martin and Weston Richburg
Zach Martin looks like a mainstay on this list for the foreseeable future. Richburg’s done a good job holding down Mathis’ spot until he returns. Honorable Mention – Todd Herremans
Center – Travis Frederick
The center on, arguably, the best line in football. No brainer. Honorable Mention – Kory Lichtensteiger
Defense
Edge Rushers – Ryan Kerrigan & Connor Barwin
Kerrigan notched another sack and has been very consistent. Barwin holds off a surging JPP. Honorable Mention – Jason Pierre-Paul
Interior Defensive Line – Fletcher Cox & Tyrone Crawford
These two make plays when plays need to be made. Honorable Mention – Jason Hatcher
Linebackers – Rolando McClain & Keenan Robinson
Easily the two most impactful inside linebackers in this division. Honorable Mention – Jacquian Williams
Cornerbacks – Prince Amukamara, Orlando Scandrick, David Amerson
I really like Prince. I like Orlando. Everyone thought DRC should be removed from the list. Fine. Amerson has played well since Hall’s gone down but a lot of that is from teams testing the rookie on the other side of the field from him. Honorable Mention – Brandon Boykin
Safety – Malcolm Jenkins & Antrel Rolle
Antrel Rolle needs to start playing better or I’ll move Church ahead of him. You know who won’t be on this team? Either Skins safety. Yuck. Honorable Mention – Barry Church
Special Teams
Place Kicker – Dan Bailey
Punter – Donnie Jones
Returner – Darren Sproles
Brokebacks – 9
Greenbloods – 9
Northern Aggression – 3
Good Guys – 4

I’m actually surprised that McCoy wasn’t sneaked onto the list in some way.
