Wasn’t it fun to watch the Eagles annihilate the big bad Giants? I haven’t enjoyed a win this much since the last time the Birds bounced Big Blue back in January.
The list of worthy candidates for this week’s cheesesteak is long and distinguished. I could easily peg four or five guys who are more than deserving. However, I narrowed it down to two, who I feel set the tone for the impressive blowout victory. And the winners are…
Leonard Weaver and Donovan McNabb
The “Face Cleaver” hacked his way through the Giants defense for 75 yards on eight carries, including a 41-yard touchdown scamper which showed off his deceptive speed. With Westbrook sidelined, Leonard was asked to pound the rock and he delivered.
Don faced the firing squad leading up to Sunday. His mechanics and accuracy were brought into question. As he has done many times before, McNabb answered the bell by completing 17/23 for 240 yards and three touchdowns. He also added a key 14-yard scramble that netted a first down. It was a nice rebound for 5, but I want to see him string together three or four great performances. Some potent offenses are on the horizon.

Both men are very deserving. Donovan showed us that when he gets time he can be a real force. The deep ball threat he has with both Jackson and Maclin is really something special.
I think Weaver has to be the biggest surprise of the week. Since when do the Eagles use a fullback to actually produce yardage on the ground? I loved it and if he can continue to be a force it’s yet another thing teams will have to game plan for when playing the Birds.
Great win, need to play on the same level this week against Dallas.
