Probably should have found someone to replace Bradley Fletcher

Kinda surprising Demeco Ryans was on the field for third and long

He is not good in coverage

I posted in the wrong thread.


Fill me in, Eagles fans. What's up with them? Who has looked good? I know Foles has thrown as many INT's in all of last season in one preseason game and Marcus Smith blocked a pass. How's the hype machine, Jordan Matthews?

First team offense/defense looks rusty as gently caress, but only slightly more rusty than the Bears 1sts

It's the backups that have looked really good.

e: but really, all that tells you is that our backups are better than the Bears backups. That's almost a given

Well they've only allowed a TD so it's not all bad but I honestly haven't paid much attention to the D because I don't think you can tell much from preseason D. The first two drives it seemed like the Bears could move at will though.

All I learned is that Demeco Ryans is still a two-down linebacker, Bradley Fletcher still gives too big of a cushion, and the pass rush is still kind of eh. Roc Carmicheal is not going to push anyone for a starting spot.

I'd keep it in your pants, our linebackers sucked at covering tight ends last year and it doesn't look like anything's changed.

In real games we were commonly going with three safeties and putting the third safety on the 1st TE.

So maybe our special teams are better this year. That'd be exciting.

Do they play the usual special teams guys all game or was this against backups?

It was the starters.

It's pretty crazy how simply rushing up the line and doing zone read makes every running back look amazing

Who is John Bostic, why is his name so familiar, and why did he just take a random cheapshot at James Casey?

I forgot how bad the second half of preseson games are.

I'm just blankly staring at the stream right now.

Worth watching just to see if Matt Barkley is going to be less of a train wreck this year. Even just in terms of mechanics he was a disaster last year.

The TD drive is mildly encouraging. Did he have a single touchdown at all last year, preseason or otherwise?

Oh counting pre-season. Uh....I have no idea where you ever nfind those.

He had one TD in Week 1 of the preseason last year.

Time for G.J. Kinne to lead a 2-minute drill all the way into the endzone

Then lose due to a missed XP because of the longer kick
