In many ways, Vick is the same player he has always been - some amazing feats of athleticism, some great performanes followed by very average (or worse) performances with some poor decision making thrown in for good measure.

At the same time, their O-Line sucks, their LB's suck and their DC appears to be in over his head. I am hoping that the wheels of the car are coming off and that they are not just circling the wagons to fight it out through the end of the season.

I read somewhere that the Eagles last couple opponents were not known for getting pressure and the Eagles O-Line was stilled over matched. Here's hoping that Kerrakpo simply overwhelm them.

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.

The loss of JJ hit that organization hard. JJ was the man, Dick Lebeau-like

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.
