Best Eagles D?

My brother chimes in:

I would say this is the best LB group he has had.  Its youth is the only reason it's not credited like the others.  You are watching one of the best MLB's in football and barring injury we will see him in a pro bowl very shortly.  Bradley is unbelievable.  Gocong is a great SAM – as good as the Carlos Emmons era and big upgrade over Dhani.  What sets them apart is that they can play run and pass which we know Trotter couldn't (certainly not in 2^nd stint).

I'll also go with this d-line being deeper than Hugh's years.  Patterson and Bunkley are underrated because they don't play a lot on passing downs (not saying PK was not giving credit, just talking about in general you never hear much about them, but they are very solid).

Don't look now, but Abiamiri is quickly looking like a good draft pick.

Can't touch the 2001-2003 DB's.

Top to bottom this is his best D.  No real weak spots.  For goodness sakes Lito can't get on field!!

Did anyone notice Lito playing on punt return team.  I saw him out there.  If Jackson has become crucial to the offense why haven't they moved to put Lito back on punt returns.  I know Jackson is better, but there was a reason we removed westbrook from that duty a few years ago.  Lito was very, very good when he did it.  If he can't play D why can't he return punts.  I know it's worked out well and Jackson has been nothing short of great, but at some point you can't have your #1 WR returning punts (at least no one else seems to do that).  It's like having your starting QB hold for the kicker – see Cowboys 2006 season.

Historical thought –These next few weeks could prove vital in the HOF candidacy to Dawkins and McNabb.  Just huge.  Without SB rings I think both will have trouble getting in.  With them I think they are both in.

5 of his 10 years they have played in NFC championship (and 5 of last 8).  Please tell that to anyone/everyone that says McNabb can't win a big game.  That stat is incredible.
