Fundamental: The Eagles need to run the football more.

With LeSean McCoy, Brian Westbrook and Leonard Weaver, they have three pretty good running backs.

Andy Reid, though, is obstinate in his preference for the pass. Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking stated in a recent interview that the Eagles' offense was one-dimensional; what he left unspoken was that that dimension was the pass.

The Eagles might never win a Super Bowl without learning to embrace the run.

Stating the Objective

To chronicle the journeys of the Philadelphia Eagles over the next few years, as they strive to win their first ever Super Bowl.

Now is a especially poignant time to begin such a chronicle. The organization has two franchise-shaping decisions to make over the next few years.

1. What to do with Andy Reid, the franchise's winningest coach, but one that has not guided his crew to a Super Bowl victory?
2. What to do with Donovan McNabb, a quarterback who has proven he can pile up regular-season wins and gaudy statistics, but has never performed excellently in a defining "big game"?

Question number one has an answer - and an extension for Reid - for now.
