McNabb turned in its best way to renew hopes for his teamMcNabb threw passes valid for 361 yards and three touchdowns, the novice Des Jackson had a stunning debut, and the Philadelphia Eagles to vapulearon St. Louis Rams 38-3 on Sunday.
McNabb had branded 21-by-33, including a touchdown pass of 90 yards to Hank Baskett. Jackson, the first recipient of the Eagles in novice they hold in the first game of the season in the past 18 years, he recorded six trapped for 106 yards and returned a kick from 60 yards so leave everything ready for a field goal .
Coming from his second final in last place in the table in the three previous years, the Eagles played like a team that hopes to reach the championship fight. The offensive accumulated a total of 522 yards and the defense was dominant.
The Rams, with a 3-13 mark last season, just played dreadfully again. Marc Bulger barely had time to launch, and Steven Jackson had almost no space to run between the strong defence of Philadelphia. St. Louis had accumulated a total of 109 yards in the first three quarters.
McNabb, Pro Bowl five times, began this season with better health which has taken in recent years. McNabb ripped through the second line of the Rams, their scattered gunfire at a group of receivers that did not seem surprising to their owners injured as Kevin Curtis (hernia) and Reggie Brown (tendon of the buttocks).
Greg Lewis made five receptions into 104 yards, Baskett caught two passes for 102 yards and accumulate each of the four receivers made a greater trapped at 30 yards. McNabb also threw touchdown passes of 5 yards to LJ Smith and 1 yard to Brian Westbrook.
McNabb has not played in a season without injury since leading the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2004. We lost the last 5 games of 2005 because of a hernia and also played the last six games of 2006 by an injury to his knee. McNabb started slow last season after returning quickly after surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee. But ended with force after injuries in the ankles and a thumb that cost him two games in late season.
From the very beginning was the best of yesteryear McNabb in action, albeit without many disputes. It had a lot of strength in their passes and threw a pinpoint accuracy. McNabb found Jackson for a 47-yard pass right on the line in the second game off the line. Jackson was perfectly covered by Tye Hill, but managed to make a leap in trapped in 33 of the Rams. A penalty for rough play in the lateral line from St. Louis led the ovoid to 18. Three plays later, Westbrook scored after a pass to put his team ahead by 7-0.
McNabb connected with a 31-yard Jason Avant discovered in the yard of St. 31. Louis at third and 12 to keep the attack alive. Smith caught his touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to put things 14-0.
Locked in his own 8 yard with less than two minutes on the clock in the first half, the Eagles seemed content to make the clock run when Westbrook ran twice to record only two yards. Then, McNabb found Baskett left in running for a third down. Baskett caught the ovoid in the race near the 40 and continued without being touched the rest of the stretch to put the scoreboard at 21-0.
The Rams failed to spend half the pitch until the end of the second quarter. Even in this move does not look good. Jackson received a tremendous blow by Sheldon Brown after a trapped for 24 yards in 47 of the Eagles. Brown brought him to Jackson hull of a blow to the head, but Jackson got up right away shaking his Jamaican braids to prove that he was fine.
