Re: How many games this season will McNabb play?
 

I think the chances of McNabb getting through the entire season are much better than in the past. Shanahan isn't going to throw 70% of the time like Reid, so DM isn't going to be as exposed as he was in Philly.

Agree, all information coming from mini camps & OTA's is the Skins are committed to the run.

I dont know how confident that makes me, considering our running game was crap last season.

I know i know Portis is healthy again, blah blah, but he was the reason why the game was crap up until he got hurt.

Now if LJ starts, maybe things are different. All reports say that he looks like a beast in camp, compared to the other 2.

In order for a new OL to jell you have to run the ball otherwise the QB will get killed, alah JC last season Samuels & Thomas went down OL disappeared IMO.

this and that i heard a skins player (mike williams?) say that last year the coaches asked the Oline to really just go man on man, which i suppose would be fine if we had dominant O line guys but when you have injuries and less than stellar starting players to begin with, i dont think the best scheme was to expect a mike williams or levi jones or stephen heyer to win one on one matches up against the wares, tucks, coles of the world.

the player also said so far this year it looks like they will be employing more scheme oriented o line plays so that the success of a given play doesnt depend on an under-matched stephen heyer to hold up one on one against a DE.

the more i hear from players re. last year, i more i reflect on just how bad our coaching was last year. we probably had they worst coaching last year.

13 games is my guess. Can't have the season end without a little Sexy Rexy giving one last reference to Spurrier.

I find it safe to ask how well, as opposed to how many. There's still some lingering residue from his days in Philly that grip my mind.

i'll say 18, he'll sit the last 2 games of the regular season to REST his arm after throwing for 5000 yards.
