2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

[Rome]

For every game he wins with his feet he loses one with his tendency to fumble, chuck one up for grabs or otherwise do something idiotic with his farging pea-brained antics.

I think this is an oversimplification.   Once Vick was brought back and it was an open competition, Kelly couldn't with a straight face start Foles after Vick went 13-15 for 200 yards in the first two games.  But it's always a mirage with Vick.  That's why the play should've been to not bring back Vick, start Foles who at least looks semi-competent, and see what you have over a whole season where they likely aren't making the playoffs anyway.  If Foles sucks draft a QB next year.  If he's good and they make the playoffs even better.   I don't see how Vick presents anything more than the chance to steal an extra game or two when he's on. 

Agreed.  Vick earned the job after 2 weeks and now that he doesn't have to worry about it (at least for the moment) he immediately reverts back to what he's always been.

igs' punter Brad Wing is the first cut

no-name Will Shaw is the second

i totally agree with all this....im just saying theres no extrinsic reason that vick is starting....hes starting cause he won the job...I think chip is pretty straight forward in that aspect

[BigEd76]

Jamar Chaney was cut too

[QB Eagles]

I thought Whitley would make it through to the next round of cuts at least, but I don't know the story with his injury. Otherwise, the cuts were obvious.

[BigEd76]

He injured his right knee in last night's game but I don't think they said if anything was torn

Looks like Hunt to IR might be the last move to get to 75

[Don Ho]

Chipper said the only starters who will see time this week will be in the secondary.  Remain calm.  This secondary and the Head First Mental Midget, ugh ouch.

[BigEd76]

I guess they worked on Bryce's fumbling problem today



A little bit after this, Brown went down and thought he broke his ankle

That's okay. Most of the secondary don't play like starters anyway.

So, if he fumbles, they break his ankle? Good incentive. Actually, breaking his ankle would completely eliminate any chance of him fumbling. Problem-solver.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Philip Hunt was waived to get the roster down to 75
