They took a hit when their middle linebacker cracked his ACL. If there is a sudden weakness on defense (and their DC just died, God rest his soul he was the best in the NFL), an additional option on offense gets attractive real fast.
As for McNabb, if it’s a question of “Donavan, do you want to run the Wildcat eight plays a game or do you want the young cannon fodder to do it?”, I think I know Donavan’s answer.
As I said, I’m SURE they ran this by McNabb vefore they made the overture to Vick
