- EAGLETARIAN: How our rankings compare

- Poll: Which is your 'team to beat' in the NFL? (3658 votes)
NFL TRAINING CAMPS won't open for another 7 weeks, but most of the adding and subtracting is complete. What you see right now on the league's 32 rosters is pretty much what you're going to get, unless Chad Johnson unexpectedly breaks the Bengals' resolve or the Dolphins ship Jason Taylor off to another NFL ballroom.
SO, LET ME SEE if I have this right. The reason Sen. Arlen Specter refuses to let Spygate die has nothing to do with the Eagles' three-point loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX, or that pile of money that the NFL's archenemy, Comcast, contributed to his last re-election campaign, or the fact that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell won't get down on bended knee and kiss his senatorial ring or anything else of Specter's.
- THE EAGLES' inability to score in the red zone wasn't the only reason for the team's disappointing 8-8 season last year, but it definitely was pretty high up on the list.
- LIKE THE VACUUM cleaner I once bought my wife for her birthday too many years ago, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
- ON THE first day of the draft, the Eagles - who finished 8-8 last season and were the only team in the NFC East not to make the playoffs - traded away their first-round pick to the Carolina Panthers, a team that won just one fewer game than the Eagles, for a package of picks that included the Panthers' 2009 first-round selection.
- THIS MUCH IS certain: Matt Ryan won't be this year's Brady Quinn. He won't have to sit there for hours in silent agony tomorrow at Radio City Music Hall the way Quinn did last year and have the ESPN and NFL Network cameras watch him squirm every time another team gave him the cold shoulder.
- EAGLES FANS are approaching this weekend's draft with a sense of dread. They would love to see head coach Andy Reid and general manager Tom Heckert do something really sexy with the team's first-round pick on Saturday, like take a wide receiver (Michigan State's Devin Thomas? Cal's DeSean Jackson?) or a running back (Illinois' Rashard Mendenhall? Arkansas' Felix Jones?) or even a cornerback (Kansas' Aqib Talib? South Florida's Mike Jenkins?) if, as expected, Lito Sheppard is traded.
- THREE PIECES of advice for Eagles fans as they prepare for an offseason not expected to bubble over with Super Bowl-here-we-come news: 1) stay away from the knife drawer; 2) keep the acid-reflux medicine close by; and
