I don't see a necessary advantage. You guys have the best defensive backfield in the NFL...when healthy. However, in the game of matchups, I don't think your LB's can hang with Green out of the backfield nor with TE's Franks, Walls, & Martin.

I'm sure Johnson will have your team ready as will Sherman.

The key matchup, IMO, is our LB's against your offense. McNabb loves the little dumpoff's and can run as well. If our LB's can't handle that, we'll lose.

You're right about the LBers of the Pack vs. McNabb.  I like that Nick Barnett kid a ton.  Great pick.  What are your thoughts on Navies and Diggs?
 
It's been said many a times, that we can't miss tackles against Green.  He's just too good at cutting back to not wrap him up as soon as he reaches the second level.  Our LBers are quick and can get to the ball but they're average tacklers (Simoneau and Wayne).  Reese, I like a lot, but he doesn't have the quickness of the other two or Carlos Emmons.
