They've been pretty solid year in, year out. They run a more scheme dependent structure than talent dependent one.

Since 2000 the eagles have 103 wins in the regular season, we have 70 in that same span. That's a two perfect season disparity after 10 years. They've clearly been scheme oriented in that time where we've relied on a talent heavy format.

...Not going down on them but I have to applaud them for making tough decisions like cutting one of the faces of their franchise and believing they'll be a better team for it.

Yet their fans want McNabb traded...and it sounds like it may happen.

I like Donovan, but I think this releasing of Westbrook is the first sign of a major rehaul in the works for Philly over the next few seasons. Donovan has peaked, and needs to be shopped around now to get maximum value.
