Eagles At Full Force On Sunday

The Philadelphia Eagles will have a full set of offensive weapons against Tampa Bay on Sunday, in a preview of the team's new look.

Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook will start on offensive, with Michael Vick in the Wildcat as a bonus.

Newly signed Jeremiah Trotter will rotate at middle linebacker with Omar Gaither.

Kevin Curtis may be held out as a precaution, but the Eagles still have DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek to catch passes, along with rookies LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin.

So at 1 p.m. On Sunday at the Linc, expect a lot of action against a Tampa team that played (and lost) a tough game in Washington last week.

Tampa does a have a few weapons, like a good running game led by Cadillac Williams. But young quarterback Josh Johnson will face pressure all day from the Eagles' blitz.

The Tampa defense held the Redskins to 277 yards after surrendering 462, 438 and 397 in losses to Dallas, Buffalo and the New York Giants.

Cornerback Aqib Talib also had three interceptions of Washington quarterback Jason Campbell, but was burned on a 59-yard touchdown by Santana Moss in the third quarter.

But all eyes will be on McNabb, who sat out two games with a broken rib. McNabb may wear a protective jacket, but he will be sitting behind a huge offensive line, with at least six quality receivers to pick from.

Oddmakers made the Eagles a 15-point favorite in the contest.
