Re: Join my "Eagles Will Make the Playoffs" Bandwagon
And you guys dont think we will make the playoffs only because we had a bad year last season. Well guess what, McNabb was still pulling the Eagles to .500 ball last year for most of the whole disaster. Imagine what he and we can do when we get a healthy McNabb. If you say we don't have enough recievers. How many great recievers did we have during the period when it was a given for us to make the NFC Champ game? Westbrook, LJ Smith and Reggie Brown will do the trick. And McNabb is a top 5 QB. He will find someone to pass to anyway. We will be running the ball more with Westbrook and Moats taking more carries next year. I guarentee that.Now, look at the defense. We will have a hugely improved defensive line next year. Watch out for The Freak, Jevon Kearse. I guarentee that he will have an improved year over last season. Also, newly signed Darren Howard will be a force on the other end. He is another marvelous defensive end, and you can bet your buck that there will be alot of tips, and sacks next year from those two. After that we have Mike Patterson, who had a pretty impressive rookie year. I bet he will do well again. Now, our LB core isn't great but Trotter is a beast. He is a freak at getting tackles, and also heading through the line of scrimmage to pressure or sack the QB or stop the RB dead in his tracks. Trotter is a workhorse at LB and he should have another great year.Now, look at our secondary defense. Look at the names here. Shelden Brown, Mike Lewis, Brian Dawkins, and Lito Shepard. That is a GREAT core right there. Shelden and Lito are both very solid. And Dawk and Mike are both at the front-end of their position. It should be difficult for the opposing passing game.Next, look at our schedule. We play the Texans, Giants, 49ers and Packers in the first month. It should be a piece of cake to be atleast 3-1, or even 4-0 through that period. It is pretty much inevitable that we should beat teams like the Texans, 49ers, and Packers, so we should have a great headstart for the season.Now, with that writeup have I changed anyone's mind?
