			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3919" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px 10px;" title="DeSean Jackson" src="http://www.phillygameday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/jackson_desean-291x300.jpg" alt="DeSean Jackson" width="291" height="300" />Michael Vick played in his first regular season NFL game since 2006 as the <a href="http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2009/9/27/1057894/record-setting-day-for-kevin-kolb" target="_blank">Eagles pummeled the Chiefs 34-14</a> on Sunday. Vick ran a handful of Wildcat plays, but it was the Eagles&#8217; elusive throw-to-an-open-cat (or &#8220;Opencat&#8221;) offense that stole the show and gave the Eagles their second win of the season.</p>
<p>Starting in place of the injured Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb ran the experimental offense to near perfection, throwing to open cats for 327 yards and two touchdowns.</p>
<p>Andy Reid later explained the difficulty involved in running such a newfangled, hi-tech offense when everyone is so used to running the Wildcat.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve been working on for a couple weeks now and to be honest, we didn&#8217;t expect such positive results so soon,&#8221; said Andy Reid of the Opencat offense. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to explain exactly how it works, but essentially what you wanna do is pick an open cat to throw to and when you&#8217;ve found one, that&#8217;s when you throw the ball to that cat.&#8221;</p>
<p>Overwhelmed by the formation from the Eagles&#8217; first offensive possession, the Chiefs had no answer and could not recover for the rest of the game.</p>
<p>&#8220;We gameplanned all freaking week to defend against the Wildcat and then they throw this Opencat stuff at us,&#8221; said first-year Chiefs head coach Todd Haley. &#8220;They did run a couple Wildcat plays and we did a good job stopping them, but how in the world are you supposed to defend against a quarterback that can throw to open cats on a consistent basis? You can&#8217;t, it&#8217;s impossible.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Eagles will decide whether to stick with the popular offense &#8212; which has also been implemented by the Saints with great success &#8212; or return to the Wildcat in Week 5 when Donovan McNabb is expected to return against the Buccaneers.</p>
