Eagles and McNabb Ready to Roll

The Eagles opened up the preseason with a 16-10 loss to the Oakland Raiders. While preseason games don’t matter much, this one did. The Eagles were pleased by Donovan McNabb’s lone series. In that series, he went 3-3 in passing and led the team to score a TD. The drive featured the Eagle’s first team and showed that the Eagles are ready for business.

McNabb said, “This preseason is something that we’re going to take very serious. We’re going to go into practice with a full head of steam so we come out ready to play in a game situation. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

McNabb had season-ending surgery last year for a sports hernia. It looks like everything went well. If he’s at 100%, the Eagles should have a shot at the playoffs this season. That scoring drive also featured six rushes by Brian Westbrook.
