2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

[SD]

Here's my problem with the D:

Billy Davis isn't a good D coordinator

They've been drafting all these undersized guys for years (Graham, Curry, Kendricks) now they're throwing them into a different scheme and they're playing out of position.

My BIGGEST issue is the D played with no fire, no passion. I can deal with guys playing out of position and messing up assignments...that's expected because they're learning a completely new scheme. But the way they played last night was embarrassing. Lack of talent is one thing, lack of effort is another. Aside from Vinny Curry nobody else acted like they gave a shtein.

It'll take time to get rid of all that awful on defense, even if they were to hit on every FA and draft pick. They won't, so by the time they do figure it out maybe they'll still have some talented players on offense. Hopefully they'll have a quarterback by then, too.

[SD]

I'm gonna make an early prediction on the QB battle, my opinion can change but I think this is how it plays out:

Vick starts the season, does well. Probably gets injured at some point in which Foles comes in and plays well too. Vick convinces the football world he's back. New scheme, new regime, new Vick...for a season. We'll get a glimpse of the 2010 first half Vick but not on that same level. He'll come into next season wreckless and a turnover machine, Foles will start the 2014 season.

They're not going to be good, but it was the first game.  Jesus christ

if you already know they arent gonna be good why does it matter if it was the first game or not

100% spot on.  Yes it's preseason and it's more about the individuals than the outcome but the defense was autrocious.  That opening drive by NE was a complete manhandling.  I had visions of 11 Nnamdi's out there on D.

I enjoyed yesterday because it was something different.

really?

[hbionic]

Almost worse.

Like hbionic, I'm seriously considering (and actually leaning towards) not investing the $299 in the Sunday Ticket this year.  Since I dropped DirecTV, my only mode is through  the PS3.  And the connection was so choppy that, in conjunction with the zesty play the Eagles will be bringing, I may actually end the season either in jail, on the operating table or in the grave.

I may just spend $50 for the RedZone on the regular TV, and enjoy the national games instead.
