FanHouse Nick Cole

Four of the best quarterbacks in the league, and quite possibly two of the best ever will suit up on Thursday night as week two of the NFL's preseason gets started.

While both Donovan McNabb and Brady have made headlines for off-the-field issues, (McNabb with his insistence on bringing Michael Vick to the Eagles and Brady with news of his wife Gisele and her pregnancy), none of the four play-callers are huge story line material on the field for tonight's matchups.

Here's what everyone should be talking about.

The Eagles have concerns about their offensive line going into Thursday night's game against the Colts.

Because of injuries, Philadelphia will play only one starter, center Jamaal Jackson, and four backups. Tackle Winston Justice and guard Nick Cole, two of those backups, have plenty of upside.

But coach Andy Reid obviously wants his starters back playing -- he just needs them to get healthy first.

"That's a spot, that I've said it before, I want them to have an opportunity to play together and I think the more time they spend together the better things work," Reid said this week. "This is the hand we are dealt with here, and we expect guys to step in and play well."

Because the NFL season never ends, we present our 2009 Offseason Roadmaps for front offices to navigate through the summer.

The Eagles underachieved for most of the 2008 season (the nadir had to be either tying the lowly Bengals are getting thumped by the Ravens -- take your pick) only to get hot during the last month of the season.

Philadelphia would eventually lose to Arizona in the NFC Championship game. And while nobody saw that coming as recently as Thanksgiving, the team did have high expectations heading into the season. Assuming Donovan McNabb is indeed in the organization's long-range plans, what do the Eagles need to do in the coming months to make a Super Bowl run?
