Donovan McNabb Goes Home Again & Eagles are Ready

McNabb will be a visitor for the first time at Lincoln Financial. The former Eagles QB, will be under center for the Redskins trying to get a victory against his former team.

McNabb will have a difficult time with the running game struggling, the offensive line shaky, and his receivers lacking big time talent except for Moss. It will be interesting to see how long the Eagles fans cheer their former QB.

Keys of the game:

Michael Vick must continue to play smart football. He has to resist the urge to try and show he's filled McNabb's shoes. The only way the Eagles lose this game, is if they turn the ball over.

The Eagles defense should be able to get pressure on McNabb. The Eagles have given up over 100 yards rushing per game, and will have to do better, as I expect Shanahan will try to establish the run game to take some pressure off of McNabb. With the Redskins averaging under 75 yards per game, rushing yards may be hard to come by, but they'll have to keep trying to have a chance to win this game.

Albert Haynesworth Says He's Not a Slave, I Say He's A Fool

Albert Haynesworth has been a major distraction for Mike Shanahan, and the Washington Redskins all off season. Unhappy with the change to a 3-4 defense, Haynesworth has handled it like a spoiled child. Recently the Redskins defender made some outlandish statements in an interview. "Just because somebody pay you money don't mean they'll make you do whatever they want or whatever. I mean, does that mean everything is for sale? "I mean, I'm not for sale. Yeah, I signed the contract and got paid a lot of money, but ... that don't mean I'm for sale or a slave or whatever."  I'm not sure Haynesworth understands slavery. To compare his situation with slavery, is ridiculous. Haynesworth isn't beaten, chained, separated from his family, forced to work for nothing.  He's an unhappy, high priced athlete, and has nothing in common with a slave. In fact, Haynesworth is paid if he works or not, no slave has ever enjoyed that "perk."
