I think this move is almost a bit of an admission by the Eagles that their defense this year won't be quite what it's been in past years and they will need to heavily rely on offensive firepower

yeah, I was thinking about the timing if that is Vick's first game. In DC (well, close enough). That might be the only game where peta folks are redskins fans! I can imagine the noise when he takes the field, probably just what we need.

I don't look at this as having anything to do w/their D slipping a little. I look at this in 2 ways:
1) they may be legitimately grooming him as a backup to DM, who is older & is at least a little injury prone.
2) They are undergoing the second coming of the TO experiment; i.e. they believe they are "1 player away" & are willing to deal w/the distraction.
