2:42 pm Coach Andy Reid on the possibility of playing Dallas two straight weeks -- the regular-season finale and the first round of the playoffs: "We've got to take care of this week. After that, what happens happens."

2:18 pm Coach Andy Reid on next week's NFC East showdown vs. Dallas: "Both teams have a lot at stake. That's why we do this, coaches and players alike, to play games like this."

2:06 pm The Pro Bowl teams will be announced on Tuesday and coach Andy Reid put in a plug for two of his players today: kicker David Akers and CB Sheldon Brown.

1:40 pm Coach Andy Reid said he expects QB Michael Vick to be ready for next week's game vs. Dallas. Vick didn't play on Sunday against Denver because of a bruised quadriceps.

1:26 pm Coach Andy Reid on the juggling of his offensive line this season because of injuries: "We're lucky to have (reserves) who have played in games and big games who can fill those spots and do a good job.''

1:03 pm Coach Andy Reid on loss of C Jamaal Jackson (knee): "Obviously, it's a big loss. Jamaal is a good football player. But we're fortunate to have Nick (Cole), who's a center that's been playing guard."

12:47 pm Coach Andy Reid said Nick Cole will replace Jamaal Jackson (torn ACL) at center, and Max Jean-Gilles will move into Cole's guard position.

They are making 2 moves at Center and Offensive Guard, this may help us to shut their running game down and get to McNabb.

12:37 pm Coach Andy Reid said that C Jamaal Jackson tore the ACL in his left knee during Sunday's victory over Denver and will miss the rest of the season.

Seems like a bit of a busted pick to this point. I remember him getting some pub as a potential 1st round pick coming out of UGA. Ended up going in the 4th round. For someone in his 4th year he basically hasn't had a lot of game time, which probably says something about his level of play in practice. Sounds like what might be killing him is a weight issue.

This is interesting to me. Anybody else notice McNappie holding his hammy when he ran out of bounds on that 25 yard QB scramble?

Yep, he was limping his last few steps and when went outta bounds he was grabbing his hamstring.

He took over for Andrews last year. He's played against us probably more than anybody else in the last couple years. When he was injured, Nick Cole Took His Place.

Yup, he might just be an easier target for Ware.
