Besides actually SCORING points himself, he took pressure off EVERYONE else on the offense, especially don. All don had to do was complete a 5 yard pass, and T.O could score on it, or at least bust a big gain.
He also opened the field up for B West.
If D Jackson can have the same effect, they could have a more productive offensive season that last year... however, i still see their weak interior front 7 as being the primary factor for their HORRIBLY showings the last 2-3 seasons. I'm not sold on S Bradley Chris Gocong and O Gaither.. And their platoon of 6' 300lb D tackles is just gonna get pushed right off the ball every play again.
Andy's system fails. I'm predicting last place in the division again... though i hope i'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong but.. T.O. didn't play in any of the play off games before the Superbowl. Yes he is a big reason for a good season, but is he the only reason? No. Westbrook, points scoring defense (which we have lacked the past two years), a healthy Donovan and a lot of luck all helped.
And Andy's system fails? Do you realize that last year they lost to the Packers (who got to the NFC championship game) by not having a good punt/kick off returner in tact, and lost to the Giants (Superbowl winners) by missing a field goal? And if it wasn't for A.J. Feeley being A.J. Feeley.. and having a healthy McNabb.. we would have beaten the Patriots. The Eagles could have easily been 10-6 or 11-5 last year.
Andy's system is a good system, it is getting old and getting known.. it's getting stale, he needs to re-vamp it.. which it seems like he has from the reports I've heard from training camp. You think they're going to show all of their play book in pre-season? Just wait.. it's going to be a great offensive year.
