G. Cobb's Questions

So now Gary Cobb officially goes by the moniker “G. Cobb?” That’s how his byline reads in this Bulletin article about his key questions to the Eagles 2007 season.

Hint: McNabb’s knee, running the ball, and stopping the run. Really, aren’t those the questions every NFL team has – is your QB good enough, are you good enough to run the ball consistently, and is your defense good enough to prevent being run all over.

Nevertheless, G. Cobb does make some interesting suggestions – like running more no-huddle and letting #5 call the play at the line of scrimmage – and that if he were head coach Jim Johnson would be on a very hot seat. And this insight: “The Eagles could probably make the playoffs with A.J. Feeley starting - just on their running game. But they can't win the Super Bowl without McNabb because he's the only true playmaking quarterback on their roster, and he gives them a quick-strike capability.”
