In dramatic fashion the Philadelphia Eagles showed for an entire game in front of their home crowd and pounded on the Carolina Panthers 27-10. The game marked the first time in nine months that Donovan McNabb was under center in a game situation, and although he only played a couple of series, he was 6/9 for 138 yards before he was pulled out to let AJ Feeley and Kevin Kolb take over and finish out the game.
I must say that McNabb looked as sharp as ever, even this was a preseason game, it was nice to see how he performed in game situations, and even how he bounced back after getting hit a few times. Rookie QB Kevin Kolb is starting to look like he is getting the hang of things and was effective in his mop up role in the second half.
Most impressive for me, for the second week in a row was rookie tight end Brent Celek, who again caught four passes, had some great blocks. I hope the Eagles keep him, from what I have seen from him so far, he has been the best performing rookie this preseason.
It was nice to see the Eagles come out and dominate, after being owned last Monday by the Ravens. Whatever Coach Reid said to the boys must have worked.
Keep up the good work guys...looking good so far.
