Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook return to the starting lineup today for the Eagles after missing three weeks due to injury. Are Eagles fans excited to have them back?
McNabb is recovering from a broken rib, suffered when he took a hard shot in the end zone in the season opener against Carolina. Westbrook has been rehabbing an ailing knee.
In their absence, the Eagles went 1-1 with a bye last week, but had youngsters step in and shine. Kevin Kolb led the team at quarterback, and became the first QB in NFL history to throw for more than three hundred yards in his first two NFL starts. He was named NFL Offensive Player of the Week in week three.
Westbrook’s replacement, rookie RB LeSean McCoy has rushed for 144 yards on 34 carries, with a touchdown. He’s looked quick, fresh and decisive in his running style early on.
Tampa Bay (0-4) shouldn’t pose much of a problem – however, they have beaten the Eagles the last three times they have met, and McNabb has struggled against Tampa, throwing for only three touchdowns and five interceptions. Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber has feasted on the Donovan, returning three of those picks for touchdowns.
My question is: If McNabb plays poorly, how long before Eagles fans call for Kolb?
