Much like the Eagles offensive personal moves this off-season, Donovan McNabb's Yardbarker blog has been rather quiet. But his tour with Novartis to raise awareness for hypertension and high blood pressure brought him to the Keystone State's capital.While McNabb was in Harrisburg, not surprisingly, he met with former Philadelphia Mayor and the current Governor of PA, Ed Rendell. For those unfamiliar with the affable former mayor, Fast Eddie is quite the sports fan and even appears on Comcast Sportsnet's Eagles Post Game Show to help analyze the games.
As usual when you get the Eagles QB in the house, things turned to football and the typical, "Did the Eagles do enough to compete?" questions.
McNabb answers honestly, but still doesn't seem thrilled with the tools at his disposal.
Q: Did the team do enough this offseason to compete for a Super Bowl?
A: We have enough to compete right now. If there is a chance to continue improving our roster after June 1 than we should look at that too.
Q: Without any new offensive weapons, how will the team improve this year?
A: Having L.J. Smith healthy is a good start. We need to be more productive in the Red Zone and that's a part of the field where the tight end is crucial. When L.J. was hurt last year we seemed to get away from that too much.
He goes on to talk about DeSean Jackson and his ability to change a game by helping the Birds start drives with much better field position.
What I want to know is, if Donovan is teaming up with a health care company to preach healthy lifestyles, do you think they can help number five stay on the field for an entire season?

Mr. Mcnabb, We see a very promising/successful future with the very talented and new Kristopher Wilson as one of your primary recievers.

I am sure that the Eagles will get Donovan McNabb some offensive weapons that can get him and his Eagles into the championship territory this season.
