I have never been so excited about an upcoming football season as I am this year. I think the Eagle's will far excede expectations. It's bigger than Kolb in for McNabb. I was a fan of McNabb but it got to the point where right or wrong, a change needed to be made. Kolb has his teammates on his sides and that's big. You could tell last year that recievers were running their patterns diff. expecting an off throw by Mcnabb. Kolb has a quicker release and will get the playmakers the ball faster and let them make their moves. Watching every game last year I would say atleast 3 plays a game McNabb would throw the ball 3-4 steps late in the pattern.
Offense: I already commented on Kolb, but to round it out on him I think he will be solid and have a better than good year. I'm not sold on Shady McCoy but I think he will be ok and I'm hoping Bell/Buckley will be a decent back up combo. Their WR corp is very good. Jackson is one of the top 5 playmakers in all of football. Maclin will benefit from a quicker ball and more time to work the open field, Avant is strong on 3rd down with his great hands, and Cooper will be a suprise this year. Celek is a Star at TE and will be looked for a lot by Kolb. Their line should be avg. and will handle their own barring inj. Overall I feel that the Birds will have one of the top 10 Off. this ye...
