For Philly, quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook remained out. McNabb has a chest injury and Westbrook is dealing with a sprained ankle.
Also out in Philly are G Shawn Andrews (back) and TE L.J. Smith (back).
WR Kevin Curtis was limited. He is working his way back from hernia surgery and coule make his season debut Sunday.
I believe Tommie Harris hurried his return from knee surgery so the more rotation involved with the defensive line, the better. I know he wants to play and he just signed a huge contract but it is obvious he is not back to form.........yet!
I felt badly for defense and especially the defensive line in that due to non-adjustments by a weak coaching staff they were forced to rush the passer 67 times!! Adjustments, an extra Defensive back, and SOME blitzing would have thrown off the offensive scheme that Greise and Gruden had obviously figured out.
Idonije has been a force all year long and deserves to start. Dvaorcek has shown only a few strong plays but even in his case it is a TEAM sport and everyone needs to do their jobs to be successful.
Again, it starts with the braintrust of coaching and other than what they thre at Indinapolis the coaching has been more than wek. Don't even get me started on the offensive play calling. Pitiful.
I know Lovie believes in his system but getting to the Super Bowl was 2 years ago.......and in the NFL you cannot win the big one while depending on special teams and defensive turnovers or defensive scoring. You MUST have an offense. I suggest lovie sits down and watches what Ditka built in 1985. A COMPLETE TEAM.
