Another Eagles' preview view

ESPN's NFL beat writer Len Pasquarelli offers his observations on the Eagles and their upcoming season based on a visit to training camp on Aug. 18. Click on the link below to go to the article. Highlights of his take:

* He notes the rash of injuries that are once again decimating the defensive line, but that Jevon Kearse will "add another dimension" to the defense.

* Is impressed by Shawn Andrews.

* Sees TO as a model citizen on the field, but speculates what effect he will have on the other WRs and D. McNabb (with the comment that he is not the most accurate passer.)

* Calls the LB corps suspect but says Jim Johnson can camouflage their deficiencies (and predicts that Trotter will make one game winning/saving play this season).

* Marvels at the stability of the coaching staff and the long tenures the assistants have had with Reid, nearly all of whom have have stayed in Phily since Reid arrived..
