Alex (Philly): Mort, why is everyone so down on the Eagles this year? They've been to the NFC championship the last 3 years, have one of the best records in the NFL over that span, and have added T.O. and The Freak this year. Yet, the only thing you hear is whom they lost. What gives? Chris Mortensen: It's probably a backlash or some fair analsysis. Wheny ou lose proven, quality players like Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor, there's going to be some scrutiny. Plus, Duce Staley and Emmons. But Andy Reid is smart and he has always had a plan. It's hard for me to pick against the Eagles. T.O. makes 'em better and Kearse does, too. Plus, I think rookie Shawn Andrews will be a Pro Bowl player at RG this year. (i have no i dea who alex is) thats from a chat with mortenson a coupe days ago, i just saw it on ESPN today so thats why its late getting up. Mort is the guy i respect the most, right 9times out of 10. i mean no body just throws a offensive lineman into a answer about DBs. ive told u hes a player, we were all bashing the eagles when they drafted him. some teams thought he was better than gallery
