They had one of their pro scouts, Larry Dixon, out at Redskins Park every single day during training camp. The Eagles, who will host the Redskins on Sunday in an important NFC East battle, didn't spend quite as much time at Redskins Park this summer as the Cowboys. But they were definitely there. Pro scout Bobby DePaul, a former Redskins assistant, made several trips to Ashburn, Va., to see and be seen. I don't think Norv knew what anybody was getting out of it.
Familiarity is a big thing for an opposing team.
The more familiar you are with the guys you're playing against, the better off you are, the more your confidence grows. The end result is we're very familiar with this football team. And it will help us with our preparation this week. The unknown always makes you uneasy. There are no unknowns here.
