Eagles Offensive Troubles Early

So far this preseason, the Eagles first string offense has yet to score a touchdown. That means that Kevin Kolb, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek, and Shady McCoy aren't getting it done in the redzone. In the past few seasons, the Eagles have had a lot of trouble once they get down to those last 20 yards. It seems that the offense runs perfectly fine when they have a nice open field to work with, but when the defense clamps down and the field gets smaller, the Eagles offense comes to a stand still. With the departure of Donovan McNabb, I expected the Eagles offense to be much more effective in the redzone. The problem that I am seeing so far is Kevin Kolb is forcing it once he gets down inside the 20. The offense is too crammed together leaving not too many options for Kevin Kolb. What the Eagles need to do is open the offense up. Do more play action in the red zone and let Kolb throw it on the run. I have seen Kolb make a lot of good throws this season on the run and the Eagles need to utilize that talent. The Eagles also need to have a more effective run game in the redzone. Give the ball to Leonard Weaver and let him run over people. Most importantly, the Eagles have to utilize their tight end Brent Celek in the redzone. Set him up to block at first and then have him run a quick post route and get the ball to him where he can fight for those all important extra yards. The Eagles have all the tools to be successful in the redzone, its just a matter of putting it all together and using those tools properly. As for the defense, I like what I am seeing. The secondary has played pretty good with guys like Dimitri Patterson getting picks. They did a pretty good job last game of shutting down B.O. and Ochostinco which was a good test for this shaky secondary. There is still a lot of improvement for this team on both sides of the ball.
