farg you ed

Good games for Maclin, Avant, Cole, Peters, Hobbs, Samuel. I guess McCoy although he didn't do much besides the TD. Also gotta give Kolb credit for bouncing back and leading the charge.

Bad games: Eckel, Baskett, McNabb, Justice, Hanson.

Vick: what you expected. Looked good in a small serving.

i love you both the same...thanks.

And Kolb farging sucks, he has zero arm strength, and less than 0 pocket presence.

is it just me, or is Jeremy Maclin really, really soft?

I don't think so, he certainly is more of a finesse player though. Hugh was saying that he thought Maclin was scared after his hit in the redzone. I didn't see it. I thought he looked pretty solid.

Overall I thought minus a few freaky plays this wasn't a bad overall performance. There are clearly things they need to work on, but they definitely looked a lot better.

As far as the Kolb stuff you guys are way too hard on him, he is not that bad. Not that he was worth a second round pick but he is not nearly as awful as some say. You don't make that throw that he did to Brown if you don't have some skill.

Speaking of Brown, how far has he dropped down the depth chart? Is it down to him, Baskett, and Avant fighting it out for the fifth spot now?

I don't think Maclin is soft, but I have to say his calves are about as big as Pinkston's.

Avant is a stone cold lock to make this team. It comes down to Baskett, Brown, and Gibson. Out of that group two will probably make it, I really hope Gibson is one of them he just seems to be a player.

mid-season form

Donovan said in the PC after the game that the constant switching between him and Vick screwed up the rhythm of the offense and he wasn't happy about it...

watching the replay on nfln right now as it approaches halftime:

reid/marty is in midseason form wasting timeouts early by not getting the play in on time/getting players in on time.

mcnabb not so accurate but 10 years in, we should be used to that by now. he made some great throws though, but missed a few easy ones to open receivers. he's looked great moving around and avoiding the rush though. definitely the best he's looked in probably 3 or 4 years in terms of mobility.

not sure who is to blame on the fumble return for a td. mccoy ran a bad route, going too far back but still should have caught it. stupid play call by reid that close to the goal line.

eckel's fumble was all on him but when is reid going to stop designing pass plays that involve a fb?

front 4 was getting decent pressure even against the jags 1st team.

samuel's been all over the field. 1 pick, 1 forced fumble/bone crushing hit, close to 2 other picks and a pass defenced.

vick looked ok. didn't suck, didn't do anything spectacular either. looked a little timid running but seemed calm in the pocket. his pass to baskett was pretty nice.

The BIGSTUD · August 28, 2009, 12:19:34 AM

That swing pass was on McNabb and Reid. Stupid play call and not in stride at all. From that angle it is really hard to catch.

Sgt PSN · August 28, 2009, 12:23:42 AM

considine makes a good play and knocks the ball away from celek in the endzone and hugh says "when i was with the eagles, i never saw him make a play that good."

lolz

it's a combo of all 3 really. bad play call by reid, bad throw by mcnabb, bad route by mccoy. but for mccoy, he needs to learn (and he will) that he atleast needs to take that route towards the los so that a drop isn't a live ball.
