rt and bods is this true and if so are McNabb and the Eagles done for 2007?
Should the backup QB play if the Jets throttle them on Sunday?
Do you wish Jeff Garcia was starting for the Eagles?
It became obvious from the Eagles' opening drive that the Giants were going to bring pressure and attack Donovan McNabb, particularly up the middle. They stunted their best pass rushers inside to get to McNabb. They blitzed MLB Antonio Pierce up the gut. They stood up Mathias Kiwanuka and Osi Umenyiora on passing downs with presnap movement and shot them through the A or B gaps. Generally, the Giants' ability to get to the quarterback comes off the edges, but they made McNabb move his feet to avoid pressure and test his healing knee, while still often generating exceptional pressure off the edge. When flushed, McNabb did not show the quickness or ability to escape that he had previous to the injury. Also, without Brian Westbrook in the lineup, the Eagles were not able to exploit the fierce rush with effective screens or explosive edge runs. Meanwhile, the cornerbacks played physically at the line of scrimmage and the Eagles' wide receivers couldn't get off the jams, destroying the timing of routes.
