Eagles trade for Stallworth

[Schneed10]

Here's the thing, the Eagles went to the NFC Championship game with this coaching staff, this QB, basically this offensive line, this running back, but with Thrash and Pinkston at WR.

This year, they have that same coaching staff, that same QB, basically that same offensive line, that same explosive running back, but with Stallworth and Reggie Brown at WR.

You tell me which is tougher. Nobody should let the Eagles sneak up on them this season.

I would add to that a dangerous tight end in L.J. Smith, along with a healthy Corell Buckhalter backing up Westbrook.

Now, the defense was really what enabled the Eagles in their NFC Championship years -- I think there's been a steady, moderate decline in the overall capability of their D, but it's still a force to be reckoned with.

Not sure how much of a decline there really is on defense. Darren Howard is there now, so the pass rush will be strong. The LBs have always been weak outside of Trotter. And the secondary is still young and strong. Dawkins is the only one you might say is aging, and he's still good.

They don't have Corey Simon anymore, so where the D may have dropped off is at DT.
