[QUOTE="furferret2, post: 104507, member: 690"] The Eagles offense is achored by Donovan McNabb, who has been razor sharp this year, and a solid offensive line. Stallworth has been a happy addition, he goes long, he goes short, he goes medium.... he drops balls. If that guy caught everything that hit him on the hands, he would be one of the best in the game right now. He is having an excellent season so far, and he might even grace the Pro Bowl, or at least be a Pro Bowl Alternate. Reggie Brown, the split end, had a solid rookie season, and he has had some very good sparks this year. Greg Lewis got a bad rap last year becuase he was playing a starting spot when he's really a perfect slot guy. He's quick, can go over the middle and can make a cut. Everything you want in a slot guy, but not really a solid starter. LJ Smith is coming out of his shell, which he did early last year too, before McNabb got hurt. Once McNabb was hurt, his numbers dropped damatically. This year, though, he is proving that he can be one of the NFL's best recieving tight ends. The #2 is Matt Schoebel. His consistency in the recieving game is his weakness. He throws some solid blocks, but has some solid drops. That was corny and didn't rhyme but we can move on. He has plays like the 60 yard catch against the 49ers, or the wide open drop in the endzone vs. the Giants. I mean, this went between his hands and the ball was moving no faster than 10 mph. He also had nobody within 6 yards of him. Westbrook is reminding everyone why they voted for him into the Pro Bowl 2 years ago. he is a flat out athlete. Just becuase he's a great reciever, doesn't mean he can't run. He's showing everyone that this year. Tapeh, the fullback, is the best fullback we've seen athleticwise in a while. Andy Reid has been running FB runs his year, which he hadn't done a single time in 2 or 3 years. Tapeh is a 3 out of 5 as far as blocking. Not great, but he doesn't whiff.
