McNabb’s Relationship With Andy

Donovan McNabb says his relationship with Andy Reid hasn't changed despite them disagreeing about his benching.

My relationship hasn't changed with Andy  We're professionals and we have to go out there and do our jobs.  McNabb said finding motivation isn't hard for him to do. 

McNabb says he has been playing with a chip on his shoulder since the beginning of the season because he wanted to play better this year than he did a year ago. 

McNabb was asked again about whether his benching helped get the rest of the team going.  He had to admit that they're playing better.  You could hear that the benching wasn't something that he enjoyed.

He again admitted that the team was playing much better.  After saying that he again stated that he didn't think the benching was needed.  It doesn't matter how many times he is asked about it and reminded that the team is playing better.

McNabb refuses to admit that maybe his benching was a good decision and maybe one of the reasons he is playing better. 

There were a lot of questions about the wide receivers.  The group has really rounded into their roles.  DeSean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, Hank Baskett, Jason Avant and Greg Lewis have become a very effective group.

McNabb didn't even mention former starter Reggie Brown.

He would go so far as to say that this group of receivers was better than 2004 group which went to the Super Bowl.  McNabb had to come out and defend that 2004 group but he didn't mention Terrell Owens by name.

McNabb made a point of emphasizing their success on third down as the key to offensive improvements.

McNabb said he won't call Brad Childress to encourage the Vikings in their game with the Falcons, but he is rooting for Minnesota.

McNabb shrugged off Eli Manning getting the All-Pro nod over him.  He said it's a matter of players on winning teams getting these awards.
