The Eagles host Jacksonville in a preseason game Friday at 7:30 p.m.

1. QB Kevin Kolb: He had interception problems through one stretch of camp. How does he fare against another defense?

2. The offensive line: The group looked bad in pass protection early in camp, dragging down the entire offense, although it seems to have leveled off recently.

3. New and improved faces on defense: Ernie Sims has looked like a killer through camp, flying to the ball and making big hits whenever he can get them. Can he make a similar impact in a game?

4. The rookies: This will be their first look at competition other than fellow Eagles. How do they react to formations, play calls and individual tendencies they have not seen before?

5. Who surprises? Does someone who had previously gone unnoticed make a mark? Could it be Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, whom coaches love but who has made little noise at camp?
