NFL Preview: Philadelphia Eagles

QB: B+ The fair citizens of Philadelphia will look back and wish they appreciated the McNabb era more when he's gone. Maybe he isn't so great in the big games but last time I checked, the Eagles didn't have any big games before he got there. Maybe Vick can run a few plays and keep McNabb fresh and uninjured for the whole year.

RB: C+ I think Brian Westbrook is out of the discussion as a top tier NFL RB. He's more of a Charlie Garner playing it out with the Raiders than a true No. 1. I'm not sold on LeSean McCoy. All those Pitt teams were underachievers so I paint him with that same stinky brush.

WR: B DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Kevin Curtis and . . . . Hank Baskett. Why Baskett? Because he married "tv star" and "model" Kendra Wilkinson and I suspect she has the same kind of crazy in her that Anna Benson did. Look out kids! Mrs. Claus is coming to your town! Something tells me Kendra won't get booed like the real Santa is she pulls the same stunt Mrs. Benson did.

TE: C- What is a Brent Celek? He went to Cincinnatti so I suspect not much. Probably better than L.J. Smith though.

OL: A CORRECTION! All apologies to Dante Rosario, Stacy Andrews has the most feminine name in the league. Not that I'd ever say so to his face.

DL: C+ Very, very average. Trent Cole is a good pass rusher but is always hurt and Broderick Bunkley is only slightly above average.

LB: C I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since Philly usually has a good D but I've never heard of these guys. Not even from college.

DB: B- No Brian Dawkins, no . . . . uh, problems. Asante Samuel is pretty good. Other than that? meh.

P/K: A Gotta love David Akers.

COACHING: C For all of Andy Reids success, he doesn't manage a good game and seems hell bent on pissing of Donovan McNabb, who is 90% of the reason Reid still has a job. Maybe Reid mentored Josh McDaniels.

BEST CASE SCENARIO: 12-4, FIRST in the EAST. The Cowboys suck, Giants are meh and Washington sucks.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: 6-10, LAST in the EAST. I know you want a joke about Mike Vick or Andy Reid's sons but you're not gonna get it. Not until the lean days around the fourth preseason game.
