My point is that the Iggles may not be the world beaters that many preseason prognosticators make them out to be.

I totally agree Lotus. The loss of Jim Johnson, Bradley out for the year... And the assumption that the o-line will instantly gel, I kind of find that hard to believe that they will be one of the best lines in the league right away. Jackson had a good year, will he get extra attention from opposing defenses this year like Santana does? The rookies are just that...rookies. How they contribute is anyones guess right now. I hope they believe the hype.
