The Rest of the Preseason

[John]

I’m going to flip it, even with all the talent on the offense I believe the defense ends up as the stars!

If the defense is THAT good, they might win a few games 50 - 10.

Training camp starts today.

Sounds like Rookie RB Miles Sanders looked pretty explosive today in the few reps he was in there on ...

Per my read on BGN he made some guys miss who wouldn't easily be able to tackle him anyway. Ahhhh..July football.

The good news to it is.....he is healthy, and just in time.

The Eagles signed CB's Alex Brown and Orlando Scandrick.

So has there been any mention of time table for Darby and LeBlanc?

 

[John]

I THINK that LeBlanc will be back by opening day. I don't know about Darby.

 

[old duke]

That's why they just signed 2 more CB's. You can never have too many DB's.

 

[John]

It's not a matter of having too many CB's. It's whether those replacement CB's are any good.

 

[old duke]

Very true.

 

[John]

Less than 6 weeks to go.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

The CB situation is interesting with all of the open roster slots being filled with that position. I think they want to have the depth there at least since Mills won’t be ready.

LeBlanc should be good to go for opening weekend. But it does call into question if Darby will be ready. He’s a very good CB, but damn if he hasn’t had injury issues.

 

[Rey]

I think the Eagles re-signed Darby knowing there was a chance he wouldn't be a full go till around week 5. He should be a full go for the 2nd half of the season and stretch run. The LeBlanc injury is a bummer as he was beasting workouts in the off-season and was in prime position to take the next step. The injury is going to sap his cardio with all the work he had put in during the off-season; hopefully it won't be as much off a set back and he can regain that momentum. Syd Jones has looked good by most accounts ... that's important with all the banged up Corners.

Any of you guys hitting training camp this year?

 

[old duke]

No. This is the first camp I can recall missing. With the $10 + tickets cost, and on a Sunday night, it is too far from Lancaster to go there. To me, it is a slap in the face, and Jeffrey should be ashamed. I think Smolinski put the idea in Jeff's head. Very disappointing!! The Birds could give $1 million to the cause form themselves. It looks like something Braman would have done. Bummer!

As a guy who has never made a practice, I agree. This is a shitty practice, highly unlike the Lurie regime, and does smack of Braman. Yuck
