Brown Blog: Face Time With Fans


August 23, 2006

Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown, and all the team's players and members of the front office, are part of Sunday's 12th Annual Eagles Carnival And Auction at Lincoln Financial Field from 3-8 p.m. Brown is part of the "Face Time" feature, as well as the Eagles Fly Wheels session. He talks about about that in his Brown's Blog ...

"Sunday is a special day for me and for the entire organization. We know that we are priviledged to play this game, and we know that the fans play an instrumental part in our success.

So we want to give back to the fans, and the Eagles Carnival and Auction is a great way to meet the people that support the team. I'm taking part in a couple of the activities that I would like to talk about here.

"One is called 'Face Time,' and I'm going to be part of a question-and-answer session from the fans. I'll be there for you, for whatever questions you might have about the team and about life in the NFL. I urge all the fans to come out to the Carnival and meet me and talk about the Eagles.

"It's always so much fun to meet fans, because you are so passionate about the team. Everywhere I go I see and meet fans and they always want to know what's going on. They want to know how we're going to do this season.

"So 'Face Time' is the perfect situation where I can meet the fans and talk about what we're going to do. I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be a lot of fun, and I'm sure I will get a good indication of what you are thinking about as we prepare for the year.

"The other activity is Eagles Fly Wheels, where fans can check out some of the vehicles we drive. Let's face it: We have an opportunity to spend some money on toys. I'm a pretty modest guy, but I like to get around in style, so I've donated a truck and a motorcycle to the exhibit of vehicles. There are going to be some serious cars there -- wait until you see Jevon Kearse's ride! It's incredible.

"I know we all want to talk about football. Our goal is to win the Super Bowl. That is what we're here for. But we also have an obligation to the fans and to the kids out there. That is what this Carnival day is all about. I hope to see you there."

On Friday Night's Game

"I'm really pleased with how the defense is playing. We gave up some yards against Baltimore, but the important thing is that we allowed just three points.

"It was good to see that kind of competition. We know we have things to work on. There were some mistakes made out there, things that we can correct.

"We'll get that done. The important thing at this stage is getting up to game speed, and I think we're there. We are all communicating well and we are on the same page. I'm excited about it.

"Pittsburgh will be another great test. The Steelers are the Super Bowl champions and they have a diverse offense. They like to play power football, but they also have some outstanding receivers. I think Hines Ward is a great player, although I'm sure he is going to play.

"This is the fourth game of the preseason. We're going to be ready to play a sharp game and make some good things happen."

The game against Pittsburgh is perfect for the last game where starters are likely to play significant time, this should be at least a half decent barometer to see where the Eagles starters are.  I realize they don't run all of their schemes but this hopefully show how physical they can or can't be.
