Eagles starting quarterback Kevin Kolb received a text message from the man he's replacing on the eve of the team's training camp. Kolb got a message from Redskins starter Donovan McNabb, who Philadelphia traded this offseason, wishing him luck on his first training camp as the No. 1 quarterback. "He told me to take one practice at a time and be patient," Kolb said Tuesday. "And I said, 'Yeah, I hear you. It's a long season.' That's what I was saying before. You kind of get caught up in the whole realm of the whole season and whatever expectations. Just take it one practice at a time at this time of year and that will help you get a lot better." McNabb told the Washington Post that the gesture wasn't out of the ordinary. "I try to inspire young players, to just continue to keep their head up, write goals for yourself that are attainable and for them to just have confidence in themselves," McNabb said. "For me, it could've been easier for me to walk out the door and not said anything to anyone. But that's not the type of person I am. I'm a guy who cares. I've text-messaged Kevin and...several of my former offensive linemen and the list goes. The thing about 11 years is [it's] something you can't just forget."
