"How 'bout Them Iggles??!!"

Impressive over the Pats. Of course the special teams play was outstanding. 2 special teams TDs were huge. As has been posted in previous blogs, the Eagles have been trying to make a point of emphasis with special teams. Carolina was a disaster, but the switch to Demps as a return man over Booker was the result. Lesson learned!! Meanwhile DeSean Jackson is the man!! He can flat out run. I am interested to see how he reacts in a game that counts. McNabb continues a really great preseason. His numbers are excellent. PLEASE, PLEASE LET HIM REMAIN HEALTHY!!! The O-Line looked good, the defense looked great! I can't really say how Hunt blocked, but he did run tough, and he had another special teams tackle on a kick-off. He has been strong on special teams. The Eagles have made it clear that to play football at fullback for the Eagles one must make plays on special teams. Hunt has. As I have said before, I am rooting for him. Luke Lawton was cut from the Eagles so that is one competitor down.
On a personal note, I drafted my fantasy football team yesterday in one of the two leagues I am in. I came out with two Eagles - McNabb and L.J. Smith (we have to play a TE). Feature this - McNabb was the 11th QB taken. Does that make sense?? L.J. was the last TE taken! This is a 12 team league! I think it does show how most people have forgotten the Eagles with the Giants and Dallas getting a lot of hype, and the Skins getting Taylor. I like the spot the Eagles are in. I truly believe they will have a big year - 10, 11 wins.
