McNabb visits WIP

Donovan McNabb visited with one of his harshest critics this morning -- WIP morning host Angelo Cataldi.

Here are some of the highlights:

On whether the Eagles should run more:
"I'm not the one calling the plays. Andy's calling the plays, Marty's calling the plays. But I think one thing you have to focus on, last year we were the No. 1 offense in the league. I believe we averaged over 24, or 27, points a game."

On whether he should run more:
"You can't live that devilish style at the quarterback position. You have to learn the offense, and you have to be comfortable in the offense, and this offense, it's about timing. It was nothing that I was making a conscious effort of not running. I just try to get the ball to the open guys and let them do the work."

On athletes being misunderstood in Philadelphia:
"It was upsetting for me to have a guy like Allen Iverson, who while he was here everybody seemed to talk bad about him. But nobody seemed to spend time to talk with him and get to know him. But after he left, it seems like he has received more praise for what he has done here."
