I thought I heard somewhere that PB may be inactive.

Good story. It will be interesting to see what this kid can do and watching him improve.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;846868]hmmm. I know the debate over Hall, but I wonder if his being gone might be a good thing this particular week. If he is out, it will keep us from getting burned as we may be less willing to single up on their threats. As I've said, my biggest fear are the big burns, not the dink and dunk that we might see if Hall doesn't play.

But I could be wrong ;)[/quote]

Don't know if Kevin Barnes is any better on deep patterns. We need Hall in there to take advantage of the mistakes that Vick hopefully will continue to make.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

Hall injury could be big this weekend. Hope Buchannon is ready to go!

[quote=freddyg12;846748]ok, if you said "some bad luck" that would make sense, but to put all of it on "bad luck" is way off. It's not "bad luck" that has their DEs & OLBs have given up crucial plays by losing outside containment. It's not "bad luck" that Vick has been hit hard many times & it wasn't "bad luck" when Vick threw a ball away at the end of the half last week as the clock ran out & they didn't get a fg attempt.[/quote]

It also wasn't bad luck that Ronnie Brown tries to throw the ball backwards at the goaline. Also, Vick can be seen several times throwing his hands up in frustration while walking off the field. I remember Frank Gore even saying in an interview that the Eagles quit. You NEVER hear athletes accuse other teams of quitting as just part of everyday trashtalk. They usually mean it.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

Luckily we have enough depth so that it won't be disastrous if Hall goes down. Let's see if Vick gets all scared of Kerrigan.

[quote=Mattyk;846780]I think some are giving way too much credit to Philly. Sure they have talent at the skill positions but they simply are not playing good fundamental football and they have glaring weaknesses on the OL and in their LB corps.[/quote]

I totally agree. It's as if Philly has taken over the roll of the Cowboys. These so-called analysts go running-off-at-the-mouth in the preseason about how great the Eagles are gonna be; and now, no matter how many games they lose in embarrassing fashion, they will still be considered a "dangerous" team, and "loaded with talent" all the way through week 17, and on into next year.

A talented player is one that consistently performs at a high level. The same can be said of a talented team. If you have a bunch of big names on your team that are not performing consistently at a high level, you aren't loaded with talent, you are loaded with big names that used to be talented. These are the same people that thought signing "Prime" after his prime was a great idea, because he was so "talented".

It's a privilege to have a guy like this on the team. I expect greatness from him.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

[quote=GMScud;846815]Hiring Juan Castillo as a DC was a head-scratcher. The last time the guy had any experience coaching defense was at the high school level. Literally. And suddenly he's running the D of a team that has Super Bowl aspirations heading into the season? WTF? I don't get that at all.[/quote]

I heard Haslet say he knew him and he played LB in college, but....he had never heard of a switch like that either and it would take time. Does seem pretty strange.

Very refreshing....I guess we will not have to worry about him ditchin' his court date to settle his $600k jewelry bill..........

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

If we get Sexy Rexy, we win, we get bad Rex we lose. It is that simple. If I was Shanny I would just give the Eagles all 3 of our Rbs and run it up Reid's ass. Give Rex some nice easy slants, etc. I think once we establish the solid running game then we can loosen up on Rex to keep the D honest, but I don't think we can put the game on Rex's shoulders anymore. I am not too sure we are going to see Sexy Rexy anymore.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

I see this game all about Rex on offense not the run game bcuz Philly will bring 8-9 in the box

I think thats probably gonna be the case also.Just because 1 team has sucked against the run doesnt mean it will the next week.Just look at Oakland last week,they were being gashed in the run game but stuffed Houstons run game last week{im sure to force schaub to beat them without andre johnson}
Hopefully Arnstrong can play and stretch the field and good Rex will show up.How frickin great would it be to see rex throw a strike to Armstrong for an 80 yrd td on the opening drive
