I can't remember the last time the Eagles had such a productive and fruitful off-season.
Who they lost: Duce Staley, Troy Vincent, Carlos Emmons
Who they gained: Terrell Owens, Jevon Kearse, Dhani Jones
Who's still on the fence: Bobby Taylor
So OK, with Terrell Owens as the number 1 wide-out, that will free up Freddy Mitchell and Todd Pinkston to be even more productive than they were last season. The thing is, F-Mitch was lighting it up all season long, and Pinkie was good up until the NFC Championship game. Adding Jevon Kearse means a much better pass-rush, which means better coverage on the Corners. I don't care what anyone says about Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor leaving; when they were out last season, the team was undefeated with Lido Sheppard and Sheldon Brown on the corners. And I think the Carlos Emmons/Dhani Jones switch is a push.
Bottom line, this is a MUCH better team with just three moves than it was last year. I honestly see this team going 14-2 and advancing to the Super Bowl.
See you in Jacksonville.
