this is rediculous.

How well do the Eagles know McNabb? I would imagine that the Eagles are
quite familiar with Tony Romo and Eli Manning, among others. How many times
have they prepared for, and played those QBs? What tendencies about McNabb
do the Eagles know, that don't appear in his 11 years of film, so nobody
else could possibly know?

Regarding McNabb's familiarity with the Eagles defense, he has never played
against any of the defensive players in an NFL or NCAA game (except maybe
Sapp and Tapp). In practice, McNabb wore a red jersey and nobody could
touch him. How did McNabb learn the Eagles defense when he spent his time
in the offense's and QB's meetings? Did they issue McNabb a defensive
playbook? As for the players, there was a major roster turnover this
offseason, especially on defense, so McNabb has never met at least one third
of the players.

McNabb could never read a defense - even this one. No - but seriously - the signals for the defense will probably have changed by now.

P-Dub: This is gonna be a fun game. And I still like McNabb - although I believe he has lost some of his mobile instincts. But I want him and the Redskins to LOSE.
