We interrupt the pending end of the world (at least as we know it), for the following important message: The Eagles have taken the plunge and gotten themselves a legit fullback. Not a converted linebacker (Josh Parry). Not a guy with no versatility (Thomas Tapeh). Not a tweener tailback (Tony Hunt). Not a converted defensive tackle (Dan Klecko).

I applaud thee, personnel peeps, for seeing thine light and signing the best all-around fullback on the market in Leonard Weaver (Heath Evans is a better blocker but does little else). A tight end in college, he a natural blocker and receiver. The Seattle Seawards, who play an almost identical system as the Eagles, learned in the last year or two that he can also be an effective runner -- particularly in those pesky short-yardage scenarios.

The Eagles have been shrugging off positions like fullback, center, return specialist and linebacker and are learning -- spot by spot -- that a true Super Bowl team can't afford any exploitable weak spots.

I'm still concerned about center, as Jamaal Jackson is a stop-gap type of player and the teams in their division have loaded up on interior defensive lineman who'll eat a rent-a-center for lunch and dessert.

As usual, I'm fearful they think they can get by with Jackson -- a converted tackle who was undrafted out of Delaware State -- but there are some centers (Alex Mack, Max Unger) I like in the draft (the Eagles have a dozen picks). At the least, I'd like to see competition for Jackson from last year's fourth-round pick Mike McGlynn and/or Nick Cole.

For now, I'll try not to let it keep up nights. We have a fullback -- a real fullback (like the ones I watched on th NFL Network this weekend during a replay of the 1993 NFC Title Game between the Dallas Cowboys, with Darryl Johnston at fullback, at the San Francisco 49ers, with Tom Rathman).

Wake me up, I must be dreaming.
