Well at least they were able to pitch in somewhere

That drew even more attention to himself, and even less from Maclin.The Maclin-Jackson combination is going to be a force to be reckoned with this season.Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy, and Leonard Weaver pitched into the passing game with a combined five receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown (Weaver). Well, at least they were able to pitch in somewhere.Offensive Line Grade: COnce again, there wasn't much of a push for the running game, and McNabb was sacked three times, all by Jimmy Wilkerson. If you're scratching your head and wondering, "who!," you're not alone. A role player with three sacks Not a good day for the offensive line.However, it's still not time to panic. Todd Herremans should be back next week, and Stacy Andrews is coming around slowly but surely. With those two back and playing (in Andrews' case, playing full time), the line should start to get some much-needed continuity back.That continuity will lead to much better offensive line play. The Eagles have the Oakland Raiders next week, so that's a great opportunity to work on playing together and working out the kinks.Defensive Line Grade: B-While there was not much of a pass rush all day long, the line did do a great job of stuffing the run all day long.

Cadillac Williams was held to 10 carries for eight yards, and even though Derrick Ward had six carries for 37 yards, 28 of that came on one carry. So if you remove that run as just an aberration, he had five carries for nine yards.As far as I'm concerned, that's a pretty impressive day for a stout defensive line, and really it was mostly the defensive line. Brodrick Bunkley and Mike Patterson may be the best, and are at the very least one of the best, defensive tackle combinations in the entire league and they put it on display today.The line will have to get more of a pass rush on its own before the entire defense can take that next step, but the feeling is that the pressure will come as the season progresses. They had a good day today, but will have to step up because a better offensive line won't get manhandled like the Bucs line did today.Linebackers Grade: CThe linebackers played off of the defensive line today and really didn't make many plays of their own. Gaither made a nice play against the pass, nearly coming up with an interception, and had four solo tackles, compared to Trotter's two.Chris Gocong was able to come up with a sack, and Akeem Jordan got jipped out of a fumble recovery for a touchdown, but overall they haven't been impressive this season, and this game didn't do anything to reverse that.This is the obvious weak-point of the defense, as the unit is made up with four middle-of-the-road (four because of Gaither/Trotter) players.

Were it not for the inexperience of Josh Johnson, both guys likely would have given up long touchdown passes.The safeties were not much better as Kellen Winslow, Jr. Macho Harris was especially victimized and will have to pick it up as far as covering tight ends goes if he expects to remain the starter for the rest of this season, much less next year.Special Teams Grade: B-David Akers was money all day long He was booting the ball like we have never seen before. Now, I'm not saying it's my fault he's playing well now, just a coincidence, but honestly I couldn't care less why he's playing well, just as long as he keeps it up.The return game is what it is. Ellis Hobbs offers little explosion returning kicks, and Jackson was swallowed up as soon as he caught the ball today. If that aspect of the game doesn't get better, the Eagles will eventually lose because of it.Coaching Grade: C-The only reason the grade is this high is because while I didn't agree with all of the blitzing that Sean McDermott was doing, it's hard to argue against and really just goes down to a defensive philosophy.
