PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - "Are you ready for some football?" is what one fan yelled in a crowd full of Eagles football followers.

Supporters came dressed in their favorite Eagles Jersey as the watched their favorite team get ready for a season that's expected to be filled with wins!

"This is great," said one woman in the stands. "This is awesome; I am having a really good time."

Several other fans expressed an enormous amount of confidence now that the roster includes two-time pro bowler cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

"It's good to see they're spending some extra money," said John Rorrer.

"They made the signings, we got the back up quarterback, we got the defensive end we needed, let's go," said Keith Culbreth.

The excitement from the crowd came with questions about whether wide receiver Desean Jackson would eventually sign with the Eagles.

"We just got to get Jackson in there," said Jackie Culbreth.

"They got to pay him," said another fan. "Take the guy, give him his money, he's worth every penny."

In the meantime, a very young fan, Logan Rorrer gave us his Super Bowl prediction. "I think they will go to the super-goal, like I want them to win the super-goal so they can go to the next one," said Rorrer.
