Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

[ice grillin you]

anything good he did on the field and there wasnt much was negated by the fact that his whole aura was garbage and it sucked the life out of the locker room and the team

The best thing I saw today was the preview for "Taken 2".

Taken 2 looks dumb....never bought into Liam Neeson being a badass

Each week, thanks to play-by-play game dissection by ProFootballFocus.com, I'll look at one important matchup or individual performance metric from one of the Sunday games. One week removed from an inglorious debut at Cleveland, Michael Vick matched up against the chameleon fronts and odd rushes of the Baltimore Ravens, so I asked PFF czar Neil Hornsby to dissect how Vick fared in his 75 snaps against the Ravens, and how much punishment the embattled Vick took in the 24-23 Philadelphia victory.

Running. Ten rushes for 34 yards, broken down into two kneel-downs, three quarterbacks draws (including the winning one-yard run with two minutes left), four scrambles, and one muffed handoff to Bryce Brown. Other than the kneel-downs, he was hit on every run as he either dove head-first for extra yardage (twice) or ran out of bounds -- when, on one play, he sent the CBS sound man with the parabolic mike to the ground in a collision.

Passing. The numbers: 23 of 32, 371 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, two sacks, 12 quarterback hits, five additional hurries. On the 12 plays in which he was hit, Vick's average time holding the ball before being contacted was 3.3 seconds; to put this in context, Matt Hasselbeck's average time to throw last year was a league-low 2.4 seconds, meaning he takes an extra second when he's under duress to try to find a receiver. Vick's longest pass of the day -- a 49-yarder (47 in the air) to DeSean Jackson late in the third quarter -- was his best throw of the day. But his decision-making, and his judgment when there was traffic in the short middle of the field, was suspect. Three times, including his one interception, he didn't seem to see linebackers or defensive backs lurking in plain sight. His stats when clean, as expected, were far different than when he was pressured.

• When hit or hurried: 9 of 15, 181 yards, no touchdowns, one interception.

• When not pressured: 14 of 17 for 190 yards, one touchdown, one interception.

Summary. Vick continues to be a man who has no regard for his body and he did whatever it took to win; hanging in until the last second to make throws, or diving head-first for first downs, for example. As much as we say the Eagles have to change him, it's obvious Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg aren't going to be able to. But his game-winning drive, 80 yards in 10 plays, was a thing of brilliance. He didn't make a bad throw and had to convert only two third downs.

He made nearly every throw in this game. He can look superb, but then he seems to lose concentration and throws something back across his body or into the middle of the field; two or three times he took chances that a veteran quarterback shouldn't take. Nearly all his interceptions last week and the ones this week (together with those that were dropped) came from linebackers not being where he expected. His weakness in these two games has been short underneath. You wonder how much longer he'll be able to take the physical pounding he takes.

the piece forgot to mention that hes a midget

on the play where lewis almost had an interception, ray ray was staying low to the ground, almost ducking. he was essentially hiding behind the line. sure enough vick didnt see him.

thats the kind of shtein that happens when you have a 5-9 qb.

My buddy says Steve Vallos passed his physical this morning and will be signed as backup C. So I guess they are opting for surgery for Kelce, even if it hasn't been admitted publicly.

Roob now reporting this also. STEVE VALLOS GUYS!

[Diomedes]

If we don't get an AMA with Vallos, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Apparently one of Goodell's scab refs told Shady "come on McCoy I need you for my fantasy team"

Per WIP

[MDS]

lol

it wouldnt be funny but the nfl seriously does not care. we keep watching and going to games, they keep cashing the checks. real refs or scab ones be damned.

Caveman Kelce done for the year - placed on season ending IR

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Per S. Kapadia:

Through two games, DeMeco Ryans has five tackles for loss. In all of 2011, no Eagles LB had more than six.

[ice grillin you]

he was the best player on the field sunday and it wasnt that close...he was everywhere

its almost unfathomable that at this time last year the starting lb's were casey matthews - moises fokou and jamar chaney

slight upgrade this year you think?

[hbionic]

Just a tad.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Best part is Ryans an Kendricks on the field together for EVERY defensive play. Fun to know that a linebacker can be good at playing both the run AND the pass.
