Monday Night Preview

Philadelphia (3-2) @ Washington (2-4)

Eagles: So the Eagles get an extra day to prep for their division rival, the Redskins. Considering the way teh Eagles played in Oakland last week, head coach Andy Reid (left) must be thankful. Reid has been receving most of the crticism in the Eagles loss to Oakland because of all the passing plays (46 attempts) that were called. That won't change, but the Eagles do need to go after it on the ground more. QB Donovan McNabb's offensive line must keep the Redskins D off of him. McNabb does have "issues" if he's hit a lot or pressured a lot. Philly added a bit to their defense in acquiring Wil Witherspoon form St. Louis. They need the depth as LB Omar Gaither is the latest Eagle LB to be lost for the season. The defense's may concern primarily will be Redskins RB Clinton Portis. But they can't get to wrapped up on Portis or QB Jason Campbell, despite the "reviews", will strike.

Redskins: This week on the Young and the Redskins, former offensive coordinator and bingo caller Sherman Lewis will be calling the offensive plays tonight for the Redskins since head coach Jim Zorn (right) was stripped of his play calling duties by VP Vinnie Cerrato since he's the closest thing to a GM in Washington. Following that move, Cerrato was asked about Jim Zorn's future in ther nation's capital. Cerrato said that Zorn "...will be the head coach for the rest of the season and. hopefully, into the future." But it doesn't stop there! According to a story on nfl.com, QB Jason Campbell says about the Redskins, ""We've got more issues than you can think of. They're not going to be solved overnight, and they're not going to get solved in a short period of time." There were also rumors of T Chris Samuels having to retire due to a neck injury. Samuels has denied the retirement issue, but he will continue down the second advice road. Do you honstly think the Redskins can concentrate with all the distractions?
