With 4 teams remaining , which player has stood out to you the most?
You can make a case for all of these guys but I'm gonna go with Ed Reed..Fitz a close second

Fitzgerald. Instead of McNabb, you should have put Asante Samuel, because he's been the Eagles best player this playoffs.

It's between Reed and Donavon, the mvps of the 2 6 seeds who still remain, and Fitz, the MVP of the team i picked last in the NFC side of the playoffs to make it this far.

it comes down to Donavon and Fitz because they have the least amount of talent around them, but Mcnabb is the leader of that team and however he's playing dictates how successful his team is

If it's a Cardinal, it's Rodgers-Cromartie over Fitzgerald. A rookie CB getting a pick in each of his first two playoff games is incredible.

Samuel has blown a few coverages. It'll be mental mistakes too, not following his man after a cut or not being aware of where the ball is,

I think the playoff MVP so far has been Jon Runyan. McNabb has only been sacked thrice this postseason, all in the Minnesota game, and two of those came from Jared Allen, who's on the opposite side of the field. (At least he is on the NFL.com depth charts and I don't recall watching Runyan block Allen.) Edwards and Pat Williams, the two Minnesota D-linemen on Runyan's side of the field, both had 0 tackles, 0 sacks. The Eagles have emerged as the best team in the NFC, and the trenches decide championships. The Eagles' success over the last eight or so years has always come with a great O-line. Best of all, Runyan's been playing injured.

That's probably because both Williams and Edwards were injured and missed the game.

Wow, that's embarrassing. Aside from that problem, my point stands.

Cardinals Defense anyone?

My vote goes to Ed Reed. It is cool that all four teams have top tier safetys. Polamalu, Reed, Dawkins, Wilson.

Being an Eagles fan, I love Runyan... but he really hasn't played that great so far in the playoffs. His injuries are really taking a toll on his play.

I think Asante has been overrated a bit, at least in the playoffs. Chicks dig the INTs but he's blown a few coverages. Luckily on some of the blown coverages the receiver dropped the ball, or it was under/over thrown.

If I was going to pick an Eagle for MVP it would be a DT at this point, Patterson or Bunkley. They needed to play well against the Vikings and Giants, and did.

Overall I think someone on one of the defenses should probably get it, I don't know who.. so I'll go with Fitz
