New Orleans Saints won't complain if Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb sits out - NOLA.com
"That's going to probably be the biggest difference, just the fact that McNabb is a guy that can scramble a little bit better than Kolb can. Kolb's a guy that probably will sit in the pocket and probably still has a good enough arm to make all of the throws necessary for that offense. "You would expect them to utilize more of their other weapons if Kolb's in the game so they take a little bit of pressure off of him. But I'm not calling their game plan for them. I'm just saying that as far as the mobility aspect, McNabb is a little more mobile than Kolb is."
