News at the Break of Camp.........

Now that Andrews has reported it sounds as if it will be a few days before he puts the pads on. He addressed the team regarding his problem, and, according to reports in the Trentonian, the team seems understanding. Once again, Brian Dawkins turns out to be an outstanding leader. He told the newspapers and the team that he, too, has suffered from depression, and backed Andrews 100%. What a great leader!

Though the Steelers fans are all excited about a 16-10 victory, it was a 10-7 Eagles lead when the starters were pulled. McNabb looks good. I would love to see the Eagles go deep into the play-offs and McNabb have a great year so he once again gets the respect he deserves.

There is some talk Tra Thomas' back is bothering him. This has been an ongoing problem with Tra for years. He usually battles through it. In the event that something serious were to happen, the Eagles do have pretty decent depth. Winston Justice (yes, the same Winston Justice that did his imitation of the William Penn statue as one Giant after another sacked McNabb last year) is having a good camp, the Eagles seem very high on King Dunlap, a late round pick this past year, or the Eagles have the option of moving Herremans out to tackle, where he is probably better suited with his long arms, and start Max Jean-Gilles at left guard. Andy Reid has always made sure the Eagles have depth on both lines.

On a personal note, I tried to get Skins-Eagles tickets and could only find awful seats for $150 a ticket! It is going to take an awful lot to convince my wife that I need to have them, but I will give it a go!!
