2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

I know it's only preseason but WTF was that?

[reese125]

all this talk about barkleys weak arm--which is fair--foles isnt that much better

this goes back to last year--every time he throws towards the sidelines worries me. ball floats way too much in the air and is asking to get cut off

ill take vicks arm alone to anoint him the starting qb in this "battle". felix jones doing exaclty what he did in dallas--drop every pass thrown to him.

defense--keep up the good work.

foles arm isnt special but its nfl quality

barkleys arm is like jake delhome light

i wish either one of them was on the same planet as kevin cobb tho...did you ever see that pass to pimp he made a few years ago?

[Don Ho]

The pass against Atlanta that almost got Pimp killed?

[Sgt PSN]

No, the one everyone refers to when making fun of Munson.

I recorded the game, but stopped watching at half time.  I'll play it tomorrow so I can ff through commercials and Congressman Runyan.

But my thoughts from the 1st half were:

1st team o-line looked decent. 

Vick didn't suck.  And for all the crap we give him about being a midget, and not smart, and old, and fragile, damn if he still doesn't throw one of the prettiest deep balls you'll ever see. 

Brandon Graham = legitimate lol on the Blount play. 

Kendricks got trucked on 1 or 2 plays. 

Ryans was out of position on a couple runs during that 1st drive. 

1st team defense was just absurd. 

I think I can throw a ball farther than Matt Barkley.  Very disappointing. 

The "ETN" is a joke.  The production value of an Eagles preseason game is just hideously bad.  It's embarrassing.

Sunday ticket. Pass.

These threads are far more entertaining.

Kolb's pass to Jackson was an awful floating duck that had no zip on it whatsoever and required no touch since Jackson was wide farging open.

Just offering this up to SD for his avatar:

Anyone still taking the under on that 30th ranked D?

I was mostly kidding when I said expect a lot of 42-37 games.  I might have undersold that a bit.

Still, we knew they were going to be shteinawful on defense but the offense looks very promising.  If you're going to have a miserable season you might as well be entertained along the way and I think the offense will provide just enough enjoyment to offset the hideousness of the defense.

If this team somehow manages to win 6 games I'll be shocked. 

[Diomedes]

They'll win 10 and Brandon Graham will dominate.

[Rome]

Real talk.

[Eagles_Legendz]

More than the scheme they just don't have any talent on defense.   They have one good promising DLineman.   One relatively promising LB.  And one young slot corner who will probably be pretty good at that.  Basically nothing else.

It's awesome that you're sticking to your guns on this.  I love the commitment.
