What will the offense look like? How fast will they go?
3-4 or 4-3 Under? What about the Nickel and other packages on defense?
And lots of players and position battles to watch.
Remember…we’ll get some information tonight, but no complete answers. This is just part of the process.
Enjoy and Go Eagles!!!
This is so exciting!
This eagles preseason coverage is impressively high budget!
Hmm with all the ACL injuries we’ve had, having an ‘official hospital of the Philadelphia Eagles’ seems more than a coincidence.
I will have to admit, it’s good to see Spadaro.
I can’t believe no one is covering the key battle! Is Wing going to get some punts with the top coverage team, or does he haven to cover his own punts?
wait, we tackled the kick returner inside their 20? they allow that now?
Brandin Graham baby!! …..”B Dot Grizzle!!”
Looking good
I knew Fletcher would help in the run game…
Nice heart by 24. Haven’t been able to say that for a few years.
Who filled the hole on the 2nd down stuff where they focused on Sopo? Was that Meco?
I thought it was Barwin.
Yeah it was Connar
Rough start. Figured the run D would be the solid part of the defense.
Maybe it is?
Soap quickly showed his worth
Nice throw and stretch
Wow great pass protection, throw and catch!
Well, that was nice.
So play action is more convincing after you run the ball? Somebody write that down.
I’m emailing by friend Andy. He lives in Missouri and is fascinated by things like this.
Nice.
Nice to see Polk able to pick up blocks
Great start for Vick. Sat in the pocket. Made great throws. If he plays like that, watch out.
Didn’t see that protection by the o-line at any point last year
Both throws showed great touch. I don’t think I’ve seen that from him.
Well I’ve seen enough. 16-0 or 15-1? Oh wait, the defense…
Don’t worry, the offense will score 70 point a game….so 15-1.
Good point.
15-1? Who is going to score more than 70 against us?
That loss will be when we rest our starters at the end of the season.
Duh!!!!
I want to see our pass D, maybe our run D will allow that to happen this time around
COX!!!!!…His sophomore JJ Watt campaign just began!!
Flag intentional grounding?
Nice pressure
On his back, ball in the grass, Cox making him feel it. Ah, football.
our corners actually covering…wtf the dudes surgical
Damn, that was a perfect throw. Can’t fault MK too much on that play.
F it….time to score!!
I not too critical of the coverage that drive. That was good coverage beaten by better passing. No missed tackles, no blown coverages.
absolutely…cover liked that, and not everyone is capable of shredding them like Brady
Yep. Sometimes you just aren’t good enough to stop greatness.
Whelp, 3 throws that are literally undefensible. I thought the backfield looked good for the most part, except that crosser that, I believe, Hughes gave up
Brady is just brilliant.
If Mallet does us in like this, then I’ll be more worried.
And Tebow?
Lol…yo, if Tebow does us in I’m turning off the TV when the D is on the field for the whole season. 🙂
I don’t live in Philly anymore but I wonder if there was any talk of MVP and MVP runner up from 2010 going head to head tonight. One is brilliant, the other is fighting for a starting spot…
Man, looks like Mykal even got his finger tips on the ball
Wtf, y is Vick coming back out? Foles and him are supposed to alternate
Nice to see Riley get involved.
Wow, our punter is no joke
I will say that the special teams already looks so much better than they ever did last year.
Yep.
Great effort by Boykin, probably will be overturned to a touchback, though.
His toe kicked up white. In a real game, that would have been challenged.
I really would have liked to see the starting D come back out again.
Tough call, long preseason ahead. Brady was just Brady tonight. Would it have helped with confidence to go against Mallet? Maybe.
I wouldn’t have minded it either, but Chip and Davis saw enough, I guess.
“Felt the presence of Casey Matthews”
Insert your own joke.
Don’t stand there! RUN!
Do we really need replay in preseason?
I don’t understand these damn fumble rules anymore anyway
Bill B sure does.
Run D left a bit to be desired. Didn’t the ILBs filling any holes stopping those 5&6 yd runs…other that, things were pretty good for 1st preseason game against Brady. Vick looked really good
At least on each completed Patriots pass there is at least one Eagles defender in the same shot.. which isn’t what we saw last year.
Baby steps.
I had to jinx it.
I’m his harshest critique and I liked his decision making and the way he ran the offense. That second drive wasn’t really his fault…Avant dropped a catchable ball
Blown coverage…we dodged a bullet. That woulda been a lay up for Brady
Look at Vinny Curry!!!
I really want him to succeed. Hard to get excited right now, though.
Question…was he lined up as a 5tec as Baldi said? I thought he was backing up cox at the 3tec?
I already noticed hunt a few times, who I had written off. he looks more comfortable then I thought he would.
Ugghh, Celek hold onto it
Yeah, not good.
I’m starting to wonder about his roster spot.
His been a favorite of mine the past few years but he’s dropped a lot of balls last year and in camp from what’s been reported. Not good…next man up?
let’s not count Bryce n Foles out yet!! Who says he isn’t mobile? Lol
I wonder if seeing Polk get the start lit a fire under Brown? To me it looks like Chip is putting his #2 back into a competition, but I like what I’m seeing from Brown.
brown has struggled catching the ball…I like what I see
Sure looks like Avant has a role already in this offense! And wow foles nice comeback from the fumble!
BRYYYYYYYYYCE!!!!!
Has Ertz been in yet? and Avant is easily my favorite player on the team but can we see the other WRs next series please?
Haven’t seen him…Celek continues to drop balls, so we should see him soon
I saw him lined up in the slot on one play.
That series looked really good. I know it was against their backup D, but great execution.
Very impressive drive. Methodical, but in a Chip Kelly way.
Notice Foles got to speed up the tempo….why didn’t Vick play with tempo?
Wondering the same thing. Maybe Vick just can’t do it.
Nice drive
The o-line looks pretty good so far. Herremans has been a little rusty. Got beat by Tommy Kelly on one play and seemed to have missed the blitz pick up on the play Foles ran for the first down.
Well at least this year should be more exciting.
That should be it for Vick and Foles. If I had to score it, I give Vick the edge for today. No turnovers, and he took it down field against NE’s #1 defense. Good showing by both though.
Foles was efficient speeding up the pace…Vick didn’t run tempo at all. I wouldn’t assume that it’s a non factor
Just my opinion. It’s still close though.
I hear you…I would be pleased with getting that type of play from either on a consistent basis
What’s fascinating about Foles running is that the only thing that looks slower than him is the reaction time of the defenders.
I think Maclin could still beat him in a footrace with one leg.
Seeing a QB slide might be the sexiest thing I have ever seen lol
liking special teams a lot more this year
We had it too good for too long with Harabaugh. Hopefully, Fipp can get us to that level again.
I don’t care who wins the QB job. At least I know now that we will have a very capable backup of running this offense efficiently.
So, I guess Foles and Vick will be done just so CK can screw with the media?
Let the Barkley show begin!
Not good there by Chaney. Can’t let that happen.
Was that him who missed the tackle?
Yep, #51.
Thanks
“missed” would imply that there was an attempt.
Quick! Where can I watch the game online?
Wiziwig
Where?
….
…right now.
Thanks!
Brandon Graham has looked pretty good providing pressure so far. Now if he can cover we might have something.
So far, dating back to last year, every time he is on the field he gets pressure
Holy crap Chaney! you were right there to make a great play!
I gotta think Chaney has a large uphill battle to make the team
I think he’ll be one of the first cuts. He doesn’t seem to read plays very well.
Seems to be allergic to tackling too.
If Kendricks and/or Ryans gets hurt, we are in trouble.
Shhhh!!!! Y would you even say that? Edit it and write something positive!!! Lol
I like what we see from Matthews
They really like Jake Knott. It will be interesting to see how he does.
I’m excited to see Knott play
Same here.
I am not pleased that Knott has not seen the field yet.
What number does he wear? I want to see Fredick too
PE.com says #54
Thanks
I’m hoping his shoulder is functional. Give his football IQ to Chaney and you’d have a pretty good player.
First year of getting Davis’ system AND his players in here. Let’s see what they can find as the preseason goes on and when final cuts happen…there”ll have to be some service ILB’s cut from the other 3-4 defenses in the league.
I know I’ve seen enough of Chaney over the years to know that physically he can do the job, I just don’t know if he has the innate football IQ…
Washburns an idiot
Curry is looking good. Obviously he can make pressure. Will have to rewatch to see how he is playing the run
He flashed potential last year. Hopefully he can force some playing time.
To see a prototypical 4-3DE already getting pressure as a 3-4 DE is impressive
So, who asked about the backup snapper?
…that’s the facepalm defense.
For those puzzling over what player is what number: http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/roster.html?sort_by=2 then click on the # column heading
#55….
Lol! Never seen something like that! Was that Tapp?!!!
it was graham >.>
Double LOL
Barkley better avoid them hits on ZRs
Can someone run defend?
I like that our starters played Discaplined and didn’t rack up penalties on a new offense
That was a horrible acting job by Wing, but hey, first down!
should have been a blocked punt, but jogged into him upright and gave us a first down, that dude is so cut hahaha
I thought I saw him punt with a cigarette in his mouth ….. No?
So um…free agent long snappers?
Seriously, it’s the ‘official hospital of the Philadelphia Eagles’ thing. We should have an official trophy engraver instead, problem solved.
Whew, just a head injury.
Barkley looks poised out there. I really wish we could see him against defensive starters
He looks poised, yes. He is also giving me flashbacks of a mired offense from last year. I am much happier with what I saw from the first two QBs.
needs to work on the uhhhhh, throwing part of his game
Nick Foles had more rushing yards then Vick…I guess that settles it!! Lol
Wow… that was not a good punt at all
Maybe Celek just found his way onto the team.
TEBOW TIME!!!!!!!
Oh this is going to be hillarious
Our idiot fans should be ashamed for cheering for that dweeb!!!
THAT is why I love defense!
Curry and knot!!
Knott looks pretty good, pressure, got a tip, not ahem *Knott* too bad
Punters can’t get called for unnecessary roughness?
Felix Jones is not making this team.
That’s a bullshit call.
That had to be a mistake.
very strange
And that is why you “waste” a roster spot on a long-snapper.
Exactly….
soooo, how about going for it on 4th down the rest of the game
Curry is making this team
I’m not saying it’s the preseason and all bets are off, but Arizona is beating Green Bay 14-0 currently.
How strange is it that the NFC West is the beast of the NFC…not many years ago it was so bad people were discussing placing a minimum record to get into the play offs because they kept sending horrible teams to the playoffs.
All those teams have the potential to be very good this year
I really hope Barkley looks better in the next quarter. The last couple drives was horrible.
Looked like typical rookie in his first game, to me. A couple of decent throws and lots of mistakes.
very poor ball velocity, by the time it gets to it’s target, the entire D converges. Not going to be a lot of YAC and picks are going to be inevitable.
so here’s my thought of the day, back up snapper should be the punter, back up holder should be the 3rd string QB.
Who snaps to the punter?
I’d say kicker, or anybody, celek did a fine job because it isnt a precision snap
So the punter can snap to himself. Brilliantly idiotic.
kicker ofc
I think Tommy has a shot as backup LS now. Hello Mrs. Dorenbos 🙂
Just posted a 2nd half thread.
I went to pick up my food right before half time, came home and the pats have 31?
Great 3rd down throw to harbor
COme on Momah! Has he done anything yet this half?
Barkley should have been picked twice
Man I wanna see more of Vick n Foles…
…
anyone notice Gaethers do anything?
…
earlier today Benny Logan said he wanted to dominate tonight…I feel dumb for laughing at him.
…
hopefully we can put the “does Vinny curry fit in this scheme” to bed

Is this still good news for the JT-Ozouf fiber optic investment in Jersey? My house in the UK was linked up to broadband 20 years ago.
