Knowing our luck some team will finish 2-14 and we'll end up with Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning.

If Reggie Brown is hurt bad, I don't want to hear any injury excuses. It is Andy and Tom's fault for not bringing in better depth at WR if the offense struggles because of an injury.

Special teams :puke

McNabb and the receivers were not on the same page. I think I've had my fill of Greg Lewis in an Eagles uniform.

I couldn't care less about the mix of plays. I don't care if they win either. They aren't playing to win, they are playing to evaluate players, and there's much more to evaluate at WR than RB.

Rory should have been canned in the offseason. I don't even care if special teams is more a personnel problem than a coaching problem. Send the message that anyone running a unit that zesty will get fired. I think it's going to be zesty again.

He outshined every other skill position player tonight, and that's with a fumble and a handful of drops. If a guy that little can avoid significant injury, he's going to be a significant part of this team very quickly.

McDougle and Klecko have been playing their asses off trying to make the team.

For the life of me I could never figure this out. He should have replaced Justice after the first half vs. the Giants and they could have slid MJG at LG. Herremans handled the LT spot fine and did pretty good when he went up against Umeniyora vs. the Giants his rookie season.

McDougle looks good.

7-8 dropped passes tonight. Including like 3 off of Curtis' mitts.

MJG cannot block on screens. He whiffed more than Choke Dawg on one screen play. AFter two hands penalties. Get in position, meat.

Herremans looks like a different player from last year. Solid at LT.

Scott Young started. WTF?

McGlynn had a nice block to spring Booker.

The special teams farging blow. BLOW!

DeSean is a pimp. But he has to not dance so much on returns. ANd watch that weakside, youngin. They'll pop the ball out.

Him and Demps and Booker all dance too much. Get the ball and go up field.

But then again...when there is no farging blocking...I guess you have to dance.

This is the opposite of the past. The Eagles first string looks great and the third string sucks. Tonight the first team everything besides the offensive and defensive lines were abysmal and the 3rd stringers were ballin.

Tough game to judge with the weather being the way it was. Really no excuses after the rain stopped, yea it was wet still, but all those drops were just horrible. The receivers are fine!

They still passed the ball 25 times in the first half...when it was doing nothing but pouring rain the entire time! When they ran the ball, they got yards...why not stick to that? Oh yea, thats right its called strategy, which Andy Reid lacks any concept of.

D-Jackson had a great game, he did have some drops but again with the weather...he did well. I agree he does dance alittle much on returns. Booker...is not the answer for kick returns...seriously the guy looks like reno out there, with just more speed. No hope at all for this spot.

Where was Avant? Dawks hit on Muhammed was classic...he straight knocked him silly. Baskett sucks. McNabb was okay...nothing great...had happy feet on some of his mis-throws... ::)

Totally agree. I watched that move more than a few times on the TiVo.  Great move.  He got real good YAC after those little hitch passes he caught too.  Even on his return where he coughed up the ball... he looked really smooth.  Jackson was the best player on the field for either team for most of the night.

I didn't get that either.  He left the CB flat-footed and got a good 3-4 yards of separation... and if the pass was completed, it was 6.  What more can you want from a route?

I rewatched the game this morning, there are players like Westbrook who just seem so much faster than everyone else on the field even though I'm sure he's not. D Jack fell into that category, at times he looked borderline dominant.
Title: Re: Eagles/Panthers Game Thread (It's Not An Exhibition, Damn It!)
Post by: ice grillin you on August 15, 2008, 09:51:29 AM
i think what aikman is saying is that he didnt sell it huge by running an actual pattern or really being in synch with mcnabb...he basically just lowered his gear then exploded out of it...if glew runs a similar pattern hes gotta perfectly sell and out and up mcnabb has to perfectly sell it with a pump and in general everything has to be executed to a tee

when you have off the charts atleticism (which is what ive been pushing in every draft for the last five years on both sides of the ball) you can lack in your game planning and execution and still be successful...but when you have people like glew kevin curtis reggie brown chris gocong ect...you cant make any mistakes on the field and if your execution isnt absolutely perfect your margin for error is miniscule

It actually makes sense in a pre-season game to try to practice the hard stuff, like passing in the rain.  Judging by all the drops, the receivers clearly need some work at it.  Additionally, since they decided to play Westbrook, I'm glad they didn't run that much.

That said, if they did the same thing in a game that matters, you might actually be making some sense right now.

whats really impressive is that we havent even seen jacksons speed yet...in the two games thus far its been pattern running and hands (minus that terrible drop) which supposedly were two of his "weaknesses"

Agreed.  He's juking around and not hitting the hole on runs, and he's dropped at least 3 kickoffs already.

So far, he's looking more like a WR than anything else.

bookers never been a kickoff returner before and perhaps they are round pegging a square hole with him back there...he has been brutal...but im defintiely willing to give him the last two games to improve

the rest of his game im not concerned about in the least...i think hes gonna be a very good compliment to westbrook...my main concern is for him to get the offense down in case of a westbrook injury and he has to play full time

Buck is making the team.  He looks about 20 times better than anyone not named Westbrook at the RB position right now.  Booker's still learning, and Hunt is not an NFL player.

Speaking of RB's, how about that Jed Collins?!?

QuoteMcNabb finished 11-of-24 for 98 yards against a secondary that was missing three starters. He didn't get much help from his receivers, who dropped about six passes.

"We had too many drops," coach Andy Reid said. "You can't drop that many balls and expect to move the ball consistently."

Yes, Andy...that has been a problem for what now? 8 out of 9 years?

And that one year that is wasn't was when we had an actual WR. An ACTUAL. STARTING. WIDE. RECEIVER. YOU. FARGING. PIECE. OF. CRAP.

Ater watching the game last night, I'm still in shock that McNabb continues to do stupid shtein on the football field even though he's been in the league for ten years.  Whether he's running past the LOS to throw the ball, throwing a three yard completion with five yards to go, poor 2 minute drill/clock management, overthrowing/underthrowing, and the always inevitable pick at the end of an attempted comeback, this guy continues to do things that I see youngstaz do when I'm refereeing pee-wee football games.  It's sad as hell.  That's why I don't pay attention to pre-season scounting reports of who did what in practice, how healthy somebody is, or how many times a play was ran to perfection.  I know it's pre-season, but I make my judgements on what I see them do during an actual game scenario, regardless of if its pre-season, season, or post-season.  I honestly feel that McNabb, the receivers, and special teams are going to disappoint this year, but I hope they prove me wrong.  However, Desean is the truth.  Even with his mistakes they guy is better than any receiver the Eagles have had since TO.  If he ain't a starter in this offense by week 4 something's wrong...

Ater watching the game last night, I'm still in shock that McNabb continues to do stupid shtein on the football field even though he's been in the league for ten years.  Whether he's running past the LOS to throw the ball, throwing a three yard completion with five yards to go, poor 2 minute drill/clock management, overthrowing/underthrowing, and the always inevitable pick at the end of an attempted comeback, this guy continues to do things that I see youngstaz do when I'm refereeing pee-wee football games.  It's sad as hell.  That's why I don't pay attention to pre-season scounting reports of who did what in practice, how healthy somebody is, or how many times a play was ran to perfection.  I know it's pre-season, but I make my judgements on what I see them do during an actual game scenario, regardless of if its pre-season, season, or post-season.  I honestly feel that McNabb, the receivers, and special teams are going to disappoint this year, but I hope they prove me wrong.  However, Desean is the truth.  Even with his mistakes they guy is better than any receiver the Eagles have had since TO.  If he ain't a starter in this offense by week 4 something's wrong...


mcnabb learned from the best offensive line coach ever

Ha Ha - good stuff

I just read an article on NFL.com:

Reid says, "Well, we did it again," coach Andy Reid said. "We moved the ball and had a chance to do a lot more in getting points. Last year it was red zone problems. Tonight we made mistakes that bogged things down. We've got more work to do there. We have to be more explosive"

I believe the Eagles red zone troubles are a result of the field becoming smaller. It's easier for the defense to when there's less real estate to worry about. I know - breaking news. You read it here first.

less field also = easier to mark westbrook

and we all know how easy it is to cover the rest of the offense

hopefully lj helps out this year in that area

Cbuck could help that situation also. He's a definate threat with his quickness between the tackles, and could keep defenses from spreading out so much.

LJ will help...but it would also farging help if Reid would stop being a dumbass and run the ball when they get down in that area.

He'll run it once, for one or two yards off tackle. Then he'll see that theres no way he can run the ball and score, so he'll pass the whole rest of the time.

They'll never expect a pass on 3rd and goal!
