Kevin's worked very hard thoughtout the offseason and we've worked hand in hand together. I know how good he is."The only thing I see Andy trying to do is stay loyal to Kolb, because technically he was the secondary quarterback under McNabb last season, BUT he could be doing this to save his own ass from the people still mad at Vick because of the whole
