an opposing team's scout sizes up the Eagles "The center, Bubba Miller, is undersized and inexperienced, and the combination of an inconsistent young quarterback [ Donovan McNabb] and a young center will result in some mistakes because the center has to make blocking calls and adjustments on the line. Miller's not ready for that.... McNabb also desperately needs a tight end to give him a good target underneath.... On defense Philly is relying on Corey Simon to be its savior against the run. I don't think he's strong enough. When he did his bench-press test before the draft [prospects do as many 225-pound reps as they can], he did only 20, which isn't good for a big defensive tackle.... The Eagles haven't solved their size problem at defensive end. I don't see Hugh Douglas and Mike Mamula holding up against the big tackles of the NFC East—and no one knows if they can stay healthy.... Jeremiah Trotter might be the best middle linebacker in football, but the Eagles will need a few more warriors I like him to compete for a playoff spot."
