Only, Reid, McNabb And Jones Remain From Decade-Long Battles

Reid and McNabb The Eagles ten-year history versus the Cowboys doesn’t matter a great deal in regards to this upcoming game against Dallas but there are some constant factors which will play a part.

Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb and Jerry Jones, who are the only main characters who were on the scene a decade ago and are still around.¬† They each have perculiar abilities and personalities but they’ve changed quite a bit since 1999.

McNabb has the same name and social security number which he had back in the early 2000’s but he’s not the same quarterback.¬†

He doesn’t rely on his scrambling ability nearly as much but as we have seen in the last two weeks, he is still able to take off when the situation presents itself.

Jerry Jones on sideline Reid is still employing the same west coast offense but it hardly resembles the dink and dunk offense that McNabb was running in the year 2000. 

They’ve added jet propulsion playmakers like DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, which has made the quickest striking offense in the league.¬†

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones still meddles in every area of the team but he does it with a lighter hand.  He lets the people whom he has hired to run the team make most of the decisions. 

They have gotten rid of some of his big names stars namely Terrell Owens and gone with lesser names who are willing to play team ball and focus on winning.¬† Still Jones’ finger prints are very apparent on every area of the football team.¬†

Despite Reid, McNabb and Jones still being around, most of the faces have changed, so it’s not easy to draw comparisons between past Eagles-Cowboys games to this one.

They’re not even playing in Texas Stadium any more now that Jones has built a huge new stadium in the Dallas suburb of Arlington, Texas.

Many of the key players in this game were in middle school and high school during many of those past contests. 

The truth of the matter is that the Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys in the early 2000’s have very little relevance to the games being played right now.

Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this blog. Things i would advice people would be to give up the actual mentality that they’ll buy right now and pay out later. Like a society all of us tend to do that for many things. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we would like. However, you have to separate your own wants from all the needs. When you are working to improve your credit rating score make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can turn to second hand shops instead of costly department stores with regard to clothing.
