As you know he didn't play against Pittsburgh. He was "on vacation" ... courtesy of Andy Reid and that gave him a chance to vent publicly and contemplate his navel and his NFL future before having his brief "Come to Andy" [the Iggles Jesus] meeting about 10 days ago after Andy spent the weekend reading several books on child psychology loaned to him by "She Who Must be Obeyed" [Tammy Reid].

Fast Forward to 2005 ...

On the first play from scrimmage in the 3rd preseason game, and Terrell's 1st start, Donovan aired it out, and T.O. extended, caught, cut, and accelerated and with 6 seconds elapsed in the game the Iggles went up 6-0 on a 64 yard TD play. Everybody in the stands knew that would be the 1st call, and so did Marvin Lewis and all the Bengals assistant coaches and their defenders so Terrell was double covered. Didn't matter.

No crash and burn in this football city this football year. Just great football entertainment. "Distractions" welcome. The Iggles used to be good but boring. Boring no more. Just good. QB doesn't have to talk to #1 wideout. Hand signals work just fine for 2 abnormally skilled athletes that have 15+ years with the west coast offense.

I think the nooners are due here early this year. Tune in.
