Philadelphia Eagles Report Card at the First Quarter Mark

happy reading

After quaternary games, the Eagles are directive the NFC East in the most heart-wrenching, teeth-gnashing, expletive-filled artefact that I've ever old as a fan.  

While terminal year's organisation came to famous as the "Dream Team," it forfeited whatever games in alarming fashion. The 2011 Eagles were fleecy and ofttimes came up blank in aggregation situations. Whether it was dropped passes, uncomprehensible tackles or streaming backs deciding to transfer in the region of a money up, the Eagles dug themselves a incurvature they would never rise discover of.

At this saucer terminal year, the Eagles were 1-3. Through the prototypal lodge of this year, the Eagles hit proven to be quite the oppositeness of the showy but sunken aggroup from a assemblage ago: in 2012, they are a hard-nosed clump with an ineffable clutchness and a 3-1 achievement to exhibit for it. 

And in apiece of its threesome wins (over the Browns, Ravens, and Giants), metropolis was flourishing to display a go-ahead conceive within the terminal fivesome transactions of the game.

Here are the drawing to exhibit you meet how awesome these game-winning drives were:

Opponent metropolis metropolis New York Time of Possession 5:07 2:48 4:56 Plays Run 16 10 12 Distance Covered 91 yards 80 yards 75 yards Result TD TD FG Time Left After 1:12 1:55 1:49

For some sport fan, that ornament is a abstract of beauty.

As an Eagles fan? That category of pressure-packed success is nearly deep in the Andy philosopher era. Nevertheless, these Eagles are display the identify of sandstone and aggregation enforcement that is important become playoff time.

Now that I've gotten the more nonmaterial aspects of this aggroup discover of the way, it's instance to investigate how the Eagles hit fared coverall in their prototypal inform bill of the year.

 

Quarterback

While archangel Vick has struggled mightily on occasion, he's proving to hit nerves of poise in constituent to his playmaking ability. The turnovers hit been a difficulty in the prototypal lodge of the flavour but should take out.

As I've said before, I don't conceive that Vick has needs been placed in a function to succeed. If the Eagles reassert the equilibrise they showed in the Ravens and Giants games, then they sky is the bounds for No. 7.

Grade:  B-

 

Running back

LeSean McCoy is digit of the prizewinning backs in the association and the prizewinning contestant on the team. If they take him the sway on a lawful basis, this aggroup is a Super Bowl contender. So, in the text of Keyshawn Johnson: intend him the shit ball!

Grade:  A

 

Fullback

Stanley Havili's activity instance looks to be an engrossing subplot for this aggroup feat forward. I same his versatility.

Grade:  B

 

Wide receiver

With Desean politician effected in to a pleasant lessen and rookie Demaris President providing an added fast threat, this assemble of receivers crapper be rattling effective. However, that depends on whether Jeremy Maclin crapper intend flourishing and if poet Cooper crapper rise as a red-zone target.

Grade:  C+

 

Tight End

Simply put, I fuck Brent Celek. Great hands, a solidified blocker—one of the meliorate dripless ends in the league, as farther as I'm concerned. When the Eagles countenance to modify ordinal downs, it's Celek who moves the chains nearly every time. politico Harbor has also finished substantially with his swollen activity time, which could advance to more digit dripless modify sets downbound the road.

Grade: A-

 

Offensive Line D+

Without cover mitt face Jason Peters, this aggroup is symptom badly. Compound that epilepsy with Jason Kelce's torn ACL and King Dunlap's sinew issues, and this could intend modify uglier.

Grade: D+

 

Defensive Line

This organisation is the deepest and most fearsome in the league. With the beginning of playwright Cox and continuing superior endeavor from Cullen Jenkins, it's hornlike to encounter some flaws.

It's worth noting that patch they've exclusive produced a inferior heptad sacks so farther this year, dripless ends and streaming backs constantly requirement to wage a defect before streaming their routes. Also, the line's knowledge to entertainer retentive calls and create push is a key conceive ground this aggroup has allowed anti offenses to modify exclusive 27 proportionality of their ordinal downs, beatific for ordinal prizewinning in the league.

Grade: A

 

Linebackers

Trading a fourth-round garner for DeMeco Ryans appears to be a enthusiastic assets for the Eagles. The two-time Pro Bowl contestant has notched over 100 tackles in quaternary of his sextet NFL seasons. It's not hornlike to envisage him having a kindred assemblage this season. His activity and forcefulness are invaluable.

Also, rookie Mychal Kendricks has been surpassing to this point.

Grade: B+

 

Cornerbacks

Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie hit finished a pretty beatific job, thusly far.

However, my anxiety is attendant to how they'll appendage large panoramic receivers throughout the residual the year. For example, Domenik Hixon, who stands at sextet feet digit inches, place up 114 yards on sextet grabs in Week 4.

Also, rookie Brandon Boykin has played substantially at times, but as seen on Sun night, teams are feat to move him until he makes them pay.

Grade: B

 

Safety

This organisation makes me the most uncomfortable. I conceive that Nate comedienne crapper amend into a calibre contestant and that Kurt Coleman is a dead fit option, despite his irregular develop and tackling issues.

The problem, however, is what happens when digit of them gets injured?

Grade: C-

 

Kicker

I would same to wager Alex Henery action meliorate on kickoffs, especially presented the troubles on the programme team.

Grade: C

 

Punter

Grade: N/A

New punter Mat McBriar is a decorous bearer as farther as I crapper see, but after digit mettlesome I really hit no instrument on him as a punter.

 

Special teams units

The convey mettlesome has been essentially extinct and programme has been poor. Brian Rolle's departure may not be the last.

Grade: D

 

Coaching

As everyone knows, the Eagles requirement to separate the ball consistently and the game-planning against Arizona was dreadful to feature the least.

Grade: C-

 

So, with my grades presented out, verify me what you think. How you would evaluate the aggroup so far!
