McNabb to Manning - Be Prepared for the Unexpected

Donovan McNabb offers his suggestions for Eli Manning on playing the Patriots in the super bowl.

 

McNabb said “the Eagles’ philosophy against the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX was to attack cornerback Randall Gay, along with converted wideout Troy Brown when he entered the game. Philadelphia also wanted to see if it could isolate running back Brian Westbrook on Pats linebacker Tedy Bruschi, while paying extra attention to defensive lineman Richard Seymour,” reports in the Boston Herald.

 

“They played it all - a 4-3, a Cover 2, man-to-man with Rodney Harrison in the box. It’s just something you have to adjust to early on, and if Eli is able to do that he will have the opportunity to be successful,” McNabb said. “But you can’t turn the ball over.”

 

Yes, you can’t turn the ball over….like McNabb did with 3 interceptions in their 24-21 loss.
