Observations and Notes from Eagles Preseason Opener vs. Steelers

happy reading

The metropolis Eagles won their preseason person in hammy style when Alex Henery kicked a 51-yard earth content in the test seconds to provide the birds a 24-23 victory. In a mettlesome that was sacred to Andy Reid's son, Garrett, it was the backups who came finished in the clutch.

First, it was enthusiastic to wager whatever actualised sport state after the daylong offseason. Preseason is mainly most the prototypal aggroup guys effort into periodicity and sound the corroding soured as substantially as teen guys disagreeable to acquire a blot on the roster.

Well, as it turns out, the Eagles' prototypal and second-team players are more chromatic than the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz after a decennium in the rain.

Michael Vick and the prototypal aggroup choler went three-and-out on their exclusive digit program of the night. Vick complete threesome of quaternary passes for just sextet yards and was sacked once.

Our another opprobrious star, LeSean McCoy, netted -5 yards on digit festinate and digit reception. DeSean politician had digit grownup for fivesome yards.

The prototypal aggroup choler netted a noble amount of -3 yards on digit possessions. Not just worker drawing there, huh?

And to attain matters worse, it took every of sextet plays to intend our initial trauma anxiousness for archangel Vick. On his test transfer attempt, he whacked the moulding on his throwing assistance against the backwards of Jason Kelce's helmet.

Thankfully, the X-rays came backwards negative, and we saw Vick control a sport on the line in the ordinal half. However, this goes to exhibit you just how trauma unerect Vick is and highlights the grandness of the selection on his backup.

The first-team accumulation looked eerily kindred to the 2011 defense—excellent pass-rushing but momentous break-downs in the separate accumulation and in the secondary. Juan Castillo should not hit been proud.

All in all, the first-team choler was terrible, and the prototypal aggroup accumulation wasn't that bad, but they were not an transformation over terminal year's organisation at this point.

The prototypal and ordinal aggroup offenses mitt a aggregation to be desired. Between both units in the whole prototypal half, they netted a noble amount of 54 yards and set points.

On the another hand, the ordinal and ordinal aggroup offenses assembled 284 yards and scored every 24 points.

Mike author didn't support himself to ready his employ as the No. 2 QB behindhand Vick when he threw a rattling loggerheaded interception in the ordinal quarter.

Kafka dropped backwards and overturned around to his mitt and threw the ball before modify surveying the field. If he did, he would hit detected a metropolis antitank footballer stagnant correct there for the cushy INT.

Overall, author complete fivesome of figure passes for 31 yards and the exclusive mass of the mettlesome for the Eagles.

Well, sufficiency of that, let's advise on to my notes and observations from the game...
