I think McCoy becomes more of an Average Back this Year since Teams Defenses will key on him..It’s not a Win-Win for anyone, I will continue to tell it like it is and how I see things unfolding for this 2012 Team.. Eagles better have made some adjustments in their Offensive Attack with Teams focusing on stopping McCOy as their Primary Goal and with no LT Peters, more pressure and production is going to be on QB Vick, can he handle it.. time will tell but I surely would put any of my own $$$ on him coming thru.. ..

its so easy to predict “bad” things for your own football team… if they suck then you are right, if they dont suck then your team does well. It’s a win/win

mccoy is a top 3 RB in the league, every sunday… way to go out on a limb and predict a running back is not going to get 20 touchdowns, bold… very bold.

very unlikely that McCoy ever duplicates his performance of last year which was outstanding.. Defenses will approach the Eagles a bit different this years.
Defenses will have their DE’s out a little wider and not be so preoccupied of rushing QB Vick but more of maintaing their lane balance which will remove many of of the cut-back lanes in which McCoy had most of his big runs..
Teams will also keep their LB back a tad to cover the middle zones for the short crossing passes, the TE’s and again cut back on over-pursuiing which leaves big cut-back holes and plays for McCoy.. Teams will probably play more one on one outside coverages and dare the Eagles and QB Vick and their smallish WR’s to make plays down the field and epsecially with issues at the LT Position.. I expect McColy to get about 1050-1100 Yards with another 40 Receptions for aother 350 YArds are so which is still very productive, but him getting 1500 YArd rushing with 20 TD’s is not going to happen again for most opponents Defenses #1 Goal when playing the Eagles will be to stop McCoy first, then worry about Vick where last years most teams did not account much for McCoy and were mostly game planning to stop Vick

I would starting working out Danny Watkins out at RT and slide Todd Herremans over at LT (Watkins played OT in College) then have RG Spot be a battle between Mike Gibson/Dallas Reynolds & Vandervelde

And this is why we should sign Plax. Were gonna struggle in the red zone and having a healthy Celek and Plaxico work the red zone would help out in a big way.

The loss of Peters and the attempt to replace him with a Buffalo Bills reject is the second most important story of the offseason, after Vick’s ineptitude.

In fact, Bell’s story is very much like Vick’s. He came on (out of nowhere after 2 very forgetful seasons) for a couple of games last year and looked like a potential superstar (though he isn’t)…..guess that’s twice now the Birds mgmt have been seduced by a statistical 5 game blip……..

We have major weaknesses at the two most important positions on the team.
