2011 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES PREVIEW:
Led by a resurgent Michael Vick, the Philadelphia Eagles powered their way to an NFC East title last season, and all signs point toward that happening again this time around. Thanks to a slew of offseason acquisitions, the Eagles have revamped their already-solid team and have one of the best collections of athletes in the league, and are among early favorites to win it all.
Vick will be back under center this year, and if he can stay healthy there’s no reason why he can’t be as productive as he was last season. He will certainly have plenty of talent surrounding him with running back LeSean McCoy and explosive wide receiver DeSean Jackson, both of whom can break a big play at any time.
The Eagles defense, which was solid last year, will be improved in 2011. Head coach Andy Reid landed one of the biggest free agents this offseason in cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, whose shutdown ability will be much appreciated in the competitive NFC East. Asomugha will be playing opposite fellow newcomer Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was acquired through a trade with the Cardinals.
