up on an item in this weeks Team Notes, rookie tight end L.J. Smith continues to emerge as the clubs top pass-catching weapon. Smith, who had four receptions for 97 yards against the Falcons, has led the team in receiving yards in four of the last five games. The Eagles have won all four of those games.
