Review Updated: July 2008
By Sports Betting AddThis Social Bookmark Button

2007 Recap: The 2007 Philadelpia Eagles finished 8-8 last season at the bottom of the NFC East. Again they appeared a playmaker or two away from the playoffs and a great season. With a playmaker for McNabb needed the Eagles spent the offseason suring up the defense as they signed Asante Samuel which gives them the best trio of cornerbacks in the league.

Key Questions for 2008 Season:
• Will McNabb stay healthy?
• Can they develop another offensive weapon other than Westbrook?
• Special teams improvement!

Rookie On the Spot: Defensive Tackle Trevor Laws the Eagles 1st pick and 47th overall will be expected to join the defensive line rotation right away to help keep the veterans fresh and fill the void of departed Jevon Kearse. He has the athleticism and quickness to excel in the Eagles' pressure schemes and will be counted on along with free-agent addition DE Chris Clemons and veteran DT Montae Reagor to provide a major boost off the bench.

Fantasy Sleeper Pick: Defense - The Eagles never lack in defense and with there blitzing schemes and conerback tandem of Lito Sheppard, Brian Dawkins, Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown, and Brodrick Bunkley will allow there defense front 7 to get after the QB.

2008 Prediction: Unfortunately for the Eagles, they play in the hardest division in football along with two of the strongest teams in the NFC. While they have improved on defense, the offense is still lacking a game changing receiver. Along with Mcnabbs injury concerns and the offense one dimensional around Westbrook it will be another frustration season in Philly. .Philadelphia Eagles - 7-9, 4th place, NFC East
