Defensive line still a major issue

The defensive line played great against the Eagles. The goal with McNabb is to try to keep him in the pocket. This means that pass-rushers cannot go all out to try to get to him because they have to be concerned with maintaining their contain. Andre Carter, for instance, can't really try to speed around the Tackle because that would leave a big lane for McNabb to run through. He has to try and be consious of McNabb the runner. Having said that, I think we did sck him twice if I'm not mistaken. Maybe more.

The bottom line is you want McNabb to be a pocket passer. That's your best chance to win.
