Eagles have been a great team in Madden for the past decade due to players like McNabb,Dawkins,and Westbrook.But since those greats are no longer Eagle we will have to change the way we use the Eagles in Madden.


Before we had advantages on offense of having a big armed QB with running ability which caused a lot players to stop playing Man coverage against us since McNabb could break lose and toss it deep.A vertical offense was more suited for McNabb which relied more on deep throws since his accuracy was so good on deep throws it made the offense more effective. But now we got a new QB in Kevin Kolb who is more suited for a West Coast Style offense. Now Kolb may be an average QB in Madden right now but before the game comes out he will have more accuracy than Donovan McNabb.Kolb also has a quicker release,which will help a lot on slant routes and other timing routes that McNabb struggled with in Madden 10 due to his release.



We also have changes at the RB position,after the departure of Brian Westbrook. Lesean McCoy will be our new starter,he has similar skills to Brian Westbrook in terms of speed,catching, and elusiveness. But Lesean also struggles in areas where Brian was great at,Lesean has a 70 carry rating in Madden which will lead to a lot of fumbles & Lesean isnt as dependable as Brian Westbrook in pass protection.



Its not easy replacing two players at the level of Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook but with every sunset there is a bright new sunrise and thats what Kevin Kolb and Lesean McCoy bring to the Eagles in Madden.Kolb's accuracy and quick release along with McCoy's speed and elusiveness will make a lot of Eagles' fans happy.
