The upcoming Philadelphia Eagles season has been the topic of many intense discussions this offseason regarding the future course of the team. Yet, all involved can sum up the forecast of this season with one word: change. For the first time since the turn of the century, the Eagles will be entering the season with a new starting quarterback ,allowing Kevin Kolb his turn at running the franchise. Also gone is the dynamic running back Brian Westbrook, giving LeSean McCoy the chance to be the leader in the backfield. With new faces assuming the starters role in two of the most important positions on the field, I believe another word can be used to describe the upcoming season: excitement.

Joining Kolb and McCoy on the of-fensive side of the ball are other young play-makers including WR DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and TE Brent Celek. Jackson, arguably the most dangerous wide receiver on any

given play, will yet again be counted on to deliver big gains for the offense in an effort to stretch the field. Maclin, coming off an impres-sive rookie campaign, has shown all the skills and desire necessary to improve his game.

In one of the most productive sea-sons for a tight end in Eagles history, Celek emerged as a go-to option on offense last year, gaining almost 1,000 yards and scoring eight touchdowns. This side of the ball looks to be set for the future, as all of these players will be 26 or younger entering the season. It’s ex-citing to think that we can see this group grow together, the same way McNabb, Westbrook and company did before them.

While the Eagles defense has some question marks coming into this season, they do have some significant upgrades from last year’s squad. The most important of these upgrades is the return of LB Stewart Bradley. Bradley. Unfortunately, Bradley was hurt during training camp and never took a snap on the field last year. He will be counted on this year to provide a boost to a line backing core that will need a sturdy middle linebacker. Rookie DE Brandon Graham has spent all of training camp impressing the coaches. Gra-ham and DE Trent Cole should be spending lots of time in the opponent’s backfield this season, wreaking havoc on the opposing quar-terback.

Adding into the excitement of the upcoming season will be a strong group of squads that will be making their way to Lin-coln Financial Field. The challenges start on week one as Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers open the season in South Phila-delphia. Also scheduled to take on the Birds at home this year is local product and up and

coming QB Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons), proven veterans in Tony Romo (Cowboys), Eli Manning (Giants), Matt Schuab (Texans) and possibly Brett Favre (Vikings).

In mid-November, the Eagles host the Indianapolis Colts and someone touted as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL, Peyton Manning. Of course, you cannot talk about exciting games without mentioning Sunday, October 3rd when Dono-van McNabb will enter Lincoln Financial Field in a uniform other than the Eagles midnight green as the NFC East rival Washington Red-skins come to town.

With a young, dynamic offense, a

strong defense and a flurry of top talent com-

ing to play against the Eagles at the Linc, the

2010 season promises to be an exciting one for

all fans of the Eagles.
