The 49ers actually gave the team an extra day off this week and did not practice today.

The thing about great returners who put up numbers over the long term is, often they're guys who are limited to special teams.

AFTER LAST Sunday night's game, Marty Mornhinweg said one of his responsibilities as the Eagles' offensive coordinator is to make sure DeSean Jackson is getting the ball enough.

By all indications, running back Brian Westbrook and wide receiver Kevin Curtis probably won't play Sunday against San Francisco although each will continue to practice this week and neither has been ruled out.

Donovan McNabb wants to be in Miami at the end of this football season. He would prefer to be there the first week of February, not the last week of January.

D ash, flash, creating a bi g splash. That's become the nature of the Eagles offense, a unit that shattered the New York Giants defense Sunday night in the Meadowlands, sparked by by one quick scoring strike and so many other goodies pulled out of the bag.

The Eagles know a postseason berth is so close they can reach out and grab it, but nobody wants to acknowledge it.

In the Disney Pixar film The Incredibles , Dash is the super-speedy fourth grader in a family of superheroes who has yet to discover the extent of his powers.

On the same day the Eagles welcomed back receiver DeSean Jackson and linebacker Akeem Jordan, they said goodbye to receiver Jeremy Maclin for about two weeks.

Since halftime of the San Diego loss, McNabb has put up some of the best numbers of his career.

For the second time this season, Jason Peters ' day ended before halftime. With 10 minutes, 56 seconds left in the second quarter yesterday, the Eagles ' giant left tackle made a cut block, and when the third-down play was over, so was Peters' afternoon inside the Georgia Dome.

The first-ever 'Doggie Fashion Show' hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue and Chris & Mandy Gocong of the Philadelphia Eagles will be Tueday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. and benefit The Voorhees Animal Orphanage.

IT'S GOING TO BE a big weekend for the Norwoods. Levi, a senior at Midway High in Waco, Texas, will visit the Penn State campus this weekend.

WHAT ARE YOU always told? Be accountable. Speak up for yourself. Walk into the boss' office and tell him in no uncertain terms what you can do for him, how you can help.

An animal shelter here will be the beneficiary of a fashion show featuring members of the Philadelphia Eagles and some well-dressed dogs.

Whatever he might have felt about coming back to the city where his NFL career bloomed on the field and then ultimately wilted away from it, Vick couldn't have expected what took place yesterday in the Georgia Dome.

It was Turn Back the Clock Day at the Georgia Dome this past weekend, where Michael Vick dazzled the attending crowd with his remarkable athletic gifts to help lead his team to a rousing victory.

More than any other intangible, concentration will matter most for the Eagles today at the Georgia Dome, where they will play for the first time since a pregame scuffle with the Falcons in the 2005 season opener left the Eagles down a man before the first play.

Great game out of Mike Vick, who was personally responsible for 14 points. And that was a SWEET swing pass to Brent Celek, by the way.

No news is bad news for the Eagles , who reported no change in wide receiver DeSean Jackson's condition heading toward Sunday's game at Atlanta against the Falcons.
