The Facts:
There is little doubt that Philadelphia's offense will be different with Kolb at the helm. Both Kolb and OC Marty Mornhinweg already have acknowledged that. You play to a QB's strengths. Donovan McNabb's was a big arm. Kolb's is accuracy.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Daily News staffer Paul Domowitch explained, the Eagles likely will become a more traditional West Coast offense this season, heavier on short and intermediate routes like slants and curls and crosses that will give receivers more yards-after-the-catch opportunities than the deeper patterns the Eagles used when McNabb was behind center. It doesn't mean they won't throw the ball deep. Just means they probably won't throw it deep nearly as much. "The yards after the catch are going to be a big part of our offense," Kolb said. "I know this group [of receivers] will make the plays if I give them the chance to do so. ..." For what it's worth, TE Brent Celek thinks all of the Eagles' receivers will see their yards-after-the-catch numbers increase with Kolb as the starter.
