Choose Your Own Adventure

Now this is inspired.  Emboldened by the reality that training camp is still three weeks away and nothing -- I mean nothing -- continues to happen in Eagles land, I had an idea. 

Why not share the pain?  I mean wealth.  Share the wealth.

Clearly there are still dozens (if not dozens of dozens) of Eagles fans out there who are so desperate for Eagles info that they continue to scour blogs, message boards and other sports websites for information.  You know who you are.  You're the folks who will read crap like this to find out that Terrell Owens needs to be a big part of the Cowboys' offense next year because clearly how could anyone get into a groove while on the receiving end of only 152 pass attempts in a season. 

And let's not even begin to dive into his Eagles preview, in which "Challenge #1" is "Keep[ing] Donovan McNabb out of the lineup until he is 100 percent healthy," "Challenge #2" is "Let the competition play out on the defensive side of the ball," and "Challenge #3" is "Focus on maintaining balance on offense" and mentions: "Working against eight-man fronts with single coverage outside, Reggie Brown and Hank Baskett quietly averaged over 17 yards per catch and combined for 21 receptions over 20 yards." 

Never mind that the days of the deep ball to Brown and Baskett came before McNabb went down and the offense got rebalanced.  And that the Eagles didn't see that many eight-man fronts after that anyway. 

And how is "letting the competition play out" a challenge, anyway?

But of course it's not totally that writer's fault.  He, like the rest of us, has to provide contentcontentcontent and unlike the rest of us his output is directly correlated with his ability to eat.

So here's my brilliant idea.  We're gonna go all Web 2.0 here and get interactive for a little while.  If you have something you'd like to see someone address about the Eagles, maybe a stats question or a historical doodad or a why don't the Eagles do this more often type deal, fire away.  Stick it in the comments or pop me an email and I'll see what I can dig up on it. 

That way, if this blog sucks tomorrow, you'll have only yourself to blame.  I hope you can live with that.
