If we had a quality Red Flag challenger, time out taker, and two minute decision maker, I'd feel much more confident for this season!!

I think this is mostly right. If the Eagles can get leads - and I don't see any reason why they won't - then that defense should be able to shut down most opposing offenses. That being said, the linebacking corps is still a little thin as are the safeties, though when a team has a good front four and a dominating set of corners, most linebackers end up looking pretty good.

I read in the Philly newspaper that Nnamdi mentioned to the Defensive Coordinator that he wouldnt mind being a Woodson type. like saftey/corner who could take risks and blitz the QB.

wouldnt that be something!!

If Nate Allen is healthy, I think he can be a real good safety (still young though). and apparently Clay Matthews brother will be our starting MLB, which is scary since he's a rookie, but hopefully he can be a run stopper. I like Jamar Chaney. he looked good last year.

THere was an article in the Inquirer (or Daily News, all look same) about the linebackers. Reid seems happy enough with them, even though they're two seventh rounders and a fourth rounder. I wouldn't doubt it if they pick up another free agent for insurance though.
