The Philadelphia Eagles will need a healthy team if they want to compete in the tough NFC East. Last Year the Eagles finished a respectable 8-8 but failed to make the playoffs and that is something that doesn’t sit well for the city of brotherly love.  With so many injuries plaguing the Eagles in 2007, they need to remain healthy and not struggle at key positions due to injuries. It has to start with the Donovan McNabb who has struggled to play a full season in what seems like forever. Early reports say he is fine and ready for the year but we have heard that before. Other key players that need to stay on the field are tight end L.J. Smith, RB Brian Westbrook and of course the offensive line.  The defense needs leader Brian Dawkins healthy because along with Asante Samuel the Philadelphia secondary can really make some noise. Of course they are simply things that every NFL franchise needs in order to compete but the Eagles are too good of a team to finish mediocre and a healthy 2008 squad can make for another run at the beloved Super Bowl.
