Couple of plays that I really enjoyed in retrospect over and above the obvious big plays
1.the WR screen to Crayton. That was well called, well executed and had alot of potential. The kid has natural running ability
2.the one handed catch Crayton made--they never replayed it, but i remember going "how the heck did he do that!"
3.the sack on Mcnabb when he just gave up and turtled. Visions of the 16 second scramble started in my head when he got out of the pocket; and I know he is playing with injuries that would make you or I not get out of bed for 3 months but checkout the pursuit. Our guys are hungry AND there is Ware covering the back side in case Mcnabb reverses field. I think that in Ware we have the speed to control these types of scrambles. Last year our DL chased QB's like they were wearing cement boots--flailing all over the place. This year they are like a pack of wolves!
4. the 4th down play to Polite.-what a gutsy call and a dagger in the heart of the Eagles.
5. the whole drive after the turnover for TD--we just hammered at their guts and took their will to play away. There is always a point in a game where you can break the opponents will and we have not been good a doing this. This game in fact is probably the first where the opponent is just watching the clock looking to get out of town since the 90's--remember that OL just pounding away at opponents defenses?
6.Several eagles pass plays - where the pass is completed to Westbrook or TO and my heart jumped in my throat expecting a huge gain when all of a sudden a missle wearing 31 comes flying into the picture and makes an emphatic sure no doubt about it you are going down tackle. Newman made one similar tackle as well
7.Lastly it wasnt a play but I loved the shot of TO over on the sidelines with all of his friends!!!!--that would be no other eagle--just glaring and pouting--I was hoping he would melt down--but that is coming--Mcnabb plays with devastating injuries and the oponents are helping him up off the ground and respecting him--TO plays in the super bowl with a recently broken leg and all he can do is self promote and knock his QB later--says alot about his character
