The National Football Conference is still sorting itself out and the game Sunday between the Giants and the Saints will be a big contributor to clarity.
The Eagles are sitting in a good spot because they’ve got the chance to get healthy and more mature before their big games come along.
Getting McNabb and Westbrook fully healthy is the number one goal.
The next goal is giving their young talent, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy and Macho Harris, plenty of playing time so they can continue to mature and be ready when the big boys come calling later in the season.
