Disagree on...

QB: patrick Ramsey. He is simply playing much better football than Mcnabb right now. Not even close here.

RBs: Agree

WR: Agree

OLine: Disagree. Until our Oline can prove they can handle blitzes and cover Ram, I won't pick them. Its called, at leats for me, PROOF!

DL: Agree

LB: Agree

K: Agree

P: Agree

Coaching: Disagree. I think Reid has done a poor job and many Eagles fans will tell you the same. His play callign has been suspect. Meanwhile, Steve Spurrier contineu to show how much he has learned.

Patrick Ramsey - If Ramsey can throw 3 TDs against a healthy Philly secondary, then I'm sure he can do just as well, if not better, against a beaten up Philly Secondary.

Staley/Westbrook/Buckhalter - Sorry...but our front four can't stop a Mack Truck...let alone an NFL Runningback. Philly's front four can.

Coles/Gardner/McCants - Beaten up Philly Secondary. Nuff said.

ND Kalu/Brandon Whiting/Corey Simon/Darwin Walker - Their front four is simply better than our front 5. Time and experience will make us better...but not prior to this Sunday.

Tra Thomas/John Welbourn/Frank Haley/Jermane Mayberry/Jon Runyan - They won't have to protect agasint pass rush...so they will expend all of their energy in supplying rush assistance.

Spurrier and staff - Reid has made many questionable calls this year...including the fake FG against Tampa Bay in week one. Spurrier has gotten a knack for turning around games with better play calling after the 1/2. Gotta give the OBC the nod.

Arrington/Trotter/Armstead - Great speed from sideline to sideline. They should be able to keep up with McNabb.

Champ Bailey/Fred Smoot/Ifeanyi Ohalete/Matt Bowen - Our secondary is much talented than their WR corp. Simple as that.

K: David Akers - One of (if not the) best kickers in the game.

QB: McNabb- HE will be fired up sunday after rushgate. I do think Ramsey has arrived as a good qb but Donovan has something to prove.

TB: even- seriously, both teams have good backs and I can't decide who has the better backs

WR[Skins]- No question here

DB[Skins]- The eagles would lose this matchup against most teams in the nfl.

OL[Skins]- The eagles d-line is beat up. The DT's are above average but the DE's haven't produced.

OL[Eagles]: Great o-line

LB: Arrington/Trotter/Armstead- One of the best lb corps in the nfl

PK: Akers- One of the best in the biz

P: Johnson-

Coaching: Reid and staff-

QB - Right here, right now, at this point I have to say Ramsey.
He's not as proven, ( but he will be ). Mcnabb is more
mobile, but Ramsey has the better arm.

RB - Canidate, Betts and Cartwright

WR - Skins

K - Eagles

LB - Skins

DBs - When they're healthy Eagles are tough,....but they're not

( Champ does have a chipped bone, but it didn't seem to bo-
ther him last week )

Coaches - Even

Skins everywhere, accept O-line, but we are still a work in progress there. Soon, that will be a team strength, as well.

BINGO! That's the major discrepency I see.
Philly clearly has the better o-line. Better balance and stability. (even 3 pro-bowlers to our 1, folks)

Otherwise-
QB: Philly
WR: Wash
RB: Push
OL: Philly

DL: Push
LB: Wash
CB: Wash (on injuries, otherwise Vincent & Taylor are better combo than Bailey & Smoot)
SA: Wash (on injuries, otherwise Dawkins is elite)

ST: Eagles
Coaching: Eagles (coaches are judged by seasons not games)
