Panthers Talk

I think Garcia is better when he is outside of the pocket. He's kind of on the short side and needs to see the field. The Eagles will probably be running more roll out plays for him and whatnot. He has his limitations but if they can change the offense a little around him they might get a game or two out of him. Better teams will be able to shut him down easier.

Runyan had himself a game against Peppers though.

[mussa]

Hell yes he did 

[Diomedes]

He had Peppers' number all night, usually by a fistful of jersey.  Ha.

Like my Highschool coach used to say: "It's not holding unless you're flagged for it"

[Diomedes]

Agreed. 

re: zebras last night...they called that game awful loose.  lots of crap was going on throughout the game that other crews would have flagged. 

I for one was glad to see it that way.  Rucker didn't deserve a flag for hitting Garcia; unlike others here, I'm glad he didn't get one

What scares me about the Birds is that they need the opposing QB to have a spirit-crushing game in order to win.  Teams with effective QBing and decent game plan can easily topple the Eagles. 

But that being said in two key wins this year - Dallas and Carolina - the QBs of each team made catastrophic errors that led to an Eagles victory.  Fortunately there seems to be only two teams in the NFC that can beat us with a kryptonite-like game plan of effective QBing (using three-step drops) and a stout running game.  Those teams are Dallas and New Orleans.  And we already beat Dallas and should have beaten New Orleans.

I guess it comes down to who is better between us, the Vagiants, the Falcons and the Panthers.  We absolutely must beat the Foreskins next week.

Keyshawn fined $5,000 for helmet toss. Saw somewhere else that Jenkins was fined for his hit on Garcia.

According to this, Lito knew a fade to Key was coming because of game tape study

The end zone interception that sealed Philadelphia's victory against Carolina on Monday night can be partly attributed to the fact that the Eagles knew the fade route to the Panthers' Keyshawn Johnson was coming. That's according to cornerback Lito Sheppard, who made the interception.

According to the Eagles, when quarterback Jake Delhomme looks over to a receiver and pats himself on the backside, it means the fade is coming to that player.

Wednesday, a Panthers' player confirmed that.

"Yeah, that was the signal," he said. "We'll definitely have to change it."

"We saw it on film," Sheppard said. "We watch film and we share the things we see, and that was one of those things. When he patted his butt, I knew to stay to the outside for the fade."

Delhomme wasn't sure his signal gave the play away.

"I did it on the (earlier) touchdown," he said. "But that doesn't say what route we're running or if it's even a pass. I kind of do that throughout the game. I don't know; I think the ball just kind of fell into him, if you ask me."

Wahhh..Delhomme is a whiny bitch.  Give lito credit, he said the same thing on the post game interview, they ran the play earlier same signal, he picked it up and played the right spacing.
