Pre season news and notes

[TCB]

Glad we dominated Pouncey

First play of the game. The play is over and he is standing over Fletcher. Probably saying stay on the ground old man.
Play two, Fletcher slams his ass on the ground. Takes the personal foul. Perfect time to take it, especially in the preseason.

Cofield then proceeded to abuse Pouncey. That was fun.

Deep sigh of relief gentleman

Vick gives them the best chance and makes the most sense for their offense.

Their defense is horrid though.

I respectfully disagree. Kelly has a grace period this year as no one expects the Eagles to do much. He needs to use this year to see what kind of players he has and how the fit his scheme for the future. Vick is not their future. Much like Romo, you know what he will ultimately do and be. IMO, Kelly needs to play Foles to see if he has what it takes to be an NFL QB. He will make mistakes, the question is will be adapt and overcome. You'll never find that out by him sitting on the bench.

To me, Foles running a read option pistol based offense makes no sense. Vick is obviously the best choice on that roster to run it. He may be a one year solution to run the offense, but he still makes the most sense for that offense to maximize it's production this year.

I wish they would start Foles. They'd be an easier team to beat.

They plowed his fat butt all night.

Great news. I think he is out on Saturday. May play the against Tampa. How is Robinson??

 

[gkekoa]

Brandon Weedon named the starter for Cleveland but I'm not sure there was ever any doubt.

Havent seen any thing on him yet. And I think Cousins was out for Tampa either way.

Chip Kelly will draft Marcus Mariota of Oregon, watch.

I really think Pouncey deserved that penalty, not Fletcher.

Easier to find things and keep things clean

surprises in the pre season so far

http://fanspeak.com/washingtonredsk...ing_wp_cron=1377119606.6452190876007080078125

to me the biggest one is the pass rush

 

[martinez]

reed struggling at damn near everything

Just read an interview with Tanard Jackson. If reinstated, I'm just not sure we can count on him. He said that until Haslett mentioned earlier that he would welcome Tanard back, he wasn't sure if he wanted to come back. This tells me his heart may not be in it and he may not be working out like he should. Remember, he hasn't played any meaningful football in close to 2 years. Just not comfortable that we can count on him even if he is reinstated. I would hate to see us cut someone to make room for Tanard and he either has a setback or just isn't the player he once was.

This shouldn't be a surprise. This was the knock on him in college.

was it? Well i figured he could hold his own, considering he was being touted as a centerfielder but i guess that doesnt help at all.
