Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles, Aug 14, 2008 8:00 PM EDT
Thursday, Aug 14, 2008, 8:00 PM EDT
Location - Lincoln Financial Field
TV - FOX national game
Radio - 94.1 WYSP, 610 WIP
Time to take a break from the Olympics for a few hours and take in some Eagles football. The Birds take on the Carolina Panthers in their preseason home opener for the 2nd straight year in a row. The starters should play for about a half so we'll be getting out first real good look at the team this year. It should also be interesting to watch the play of Kevin Kolb who Andy Reid hinted may play the entire second half.
Remember also that the Eagles hold the Panthers' first round pick next year as a result of a draft day trade Carolina made for OT Jeff Otah. Otah should square off against Trent Cole so it will be interesting to see how he looks and really how the Panthers as a team look.
Leave your comments and thoughts on who looks good and who doesn't! We'll be talking football all night, come join us!

Anyone know if the delay got fixed this offseason?

It probably depends on what kind of cable or satellite you have. They sync it to TV, but if you’re watching HD or digital cable or satellite… There’s a chance it could be off.

I see they put Pam Oliver on the other team’s sideline. My guess is that happens everytime she covers an Eagles game.

Those 2 incompletions and the death of the drive was all #5. He's gotta chill a bit, set his feet, and not throw the ball so high. (Both plays, he was bouncing in the pocket.)

The Curtis play was on him, but Booker should have made that catch. It was behind him, but when a ball hits you in the hands there’s no excuse.
by JasonB on Aug 14, 2008 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Helps when you don’t have to jump to get it in your hands. 50% blame to Booker (you’re right about selling out for the catch) and McNabb (give the guy a chance to make the play with good ball placement. Like that throw to Curtis just now.)

Waycross?
YOu mean the town that was first settled around 1820 known as “Old Nine” or “Number Nine” and then Pendleton? It was renamed Tebeauville in 1857, incorporated in 1866 and designated county seat of Ware County in 1873. Then it was incorporated as “Way Cross” on March 3, 1874.

Ahh wikipeda…
Actually this is a pretty funny stat about Waycross, GA
During the 1950’s the city had a tourist gimmick. The local police would stop motorists with out-of-state license plates and escort them to downtown Waycross. Where they would be met by the Welcome World Committee and given overnight lodging, dinner and a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. The tradition faded away after the interstates opened through Georgia

Actually the first punt by Rocca was a highlight. He put it right inside the 10.
Otherwise the ST have sucked. They just don’t give these returners any opening at all.

last week
dropping the ball is what gave him the opening for the good return (which he then spoiled by tripping). Last week Demps looked strongest in the return game in my opinion. I would like to see more of him tonight and going forward.

umm, I made nachos with green onions, jalapeños, sour cream and tomatoes on the side.
Chad needs to hold onto that ball, but for a rook I am impressed so far.
5 drops in a half is bad, even in rain.
speaking of drops, it is hard to forgive 2 kickoff drops all year let alone 2 in the same game in a row, rain or not. Booker better impress soon on KR, or it is time to give Johnson his shot.

Chad? … you mean DJ?
And I’d rather have Demps back for KR he looked solid we should see him in the second half
Doh! my bad. I am off tomorrow so I had a few :)
And yea, Demps did look good at KR, but DJ still seems like a big play waiting to happen. Either way, Booker hhs not impressed me so far.

There’s that Kolb to Jackson connection already.

Sucks for DJackson, he’s playing most of the 2nd half too

Tipped pass INT… tough luck for Kolb there.

I was just about to stay … nice step up in the pocket … for an INT

That interception was the first ever by that Wesley guy in his 7 year career.

he recognizes zone and man coverage like a vet it seems.

That’s true. He has a knack for finding space in the middle of the field.

Why does Hank always try and ‘no pun intended’ Baskett catch every jump ball

That looked suspiciously like PI.

Jackson leaves his feet on every pass and catches the ball with his body. He needs to break those bad habits if he wants to be a big-play WR.
by Tracer Bullet on Aug 14, 2008 10:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i’m impressed with him even if he does jump in the air too much
by eagleyosh on Aug 14, 2008 11:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The thing is, he is always pretty open and he likes to hide the ball because his first move is so fast … if it works for him it works for me.
by Whodie126 on Aug 14, 2008 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, but in the time it takes for him to land and gather himself, he’s given the defender a chance to catch up. He’s costing himself YAC.
McDougle might actually make the squad. I’ll be darned.
by Tracer Bullet on Aug 14, 2008 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
McDougle is playing is way onto this team

still want to see how he fares against a first team offensive line though
but making an impact with his opportunities
by quakerfan on Aug 14, 2008 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2 weeks ago, if you told me that what DJ would have impressed me with so far was his disciplined short routes and his small to medium zone seams I would have not believed you.
I figured by now he would have made a few rookie mistakes, as well as a few long gains as well as a long return or 2. Instead, his game more resembles an old vet who is known as a possession receiver. Not that I am complaining, it is actually impressive to see that kind of savvy in a rookie WR.

i’d say it’s great for a west coast offense team…the point isn’t big plays, but possession receiving.

i guess andy is tired of brnging in guys slowly. he wants to see our big picks do stuff early

who you would you rather make the team. hunt or lewis?
by Remis on Aug 14, 2008 11:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Lewis he seems to make enough big catches to make it worth keeping him around … I really like Hunt and you could argue him because G-Lew had his chance … but what have you done for me lately and G-Lew just scored a TD (on the back of hunts 30 yards rushing) … can I waffle?

Ahh, yeah he’s having a horrible preseason. Problem is, no one else has even taken snaps at C. So I don’t know if we can cut him.

was about to go to bed, but I deemed it necessary to come here and tip my hat to Hunt and DJ. Nice run by Tony, but DJ is MVP of the game… very impressive, especially for a rookie WR in Reid’s system

At the game
Get this… My cousin from Israel and I were at the game, stayed through the entire rain delay, got soaked to our skins, left after they went up 13-0 cause we were shivering and I couldn’t feel my left hand… and as we drive away I notice fireworks and told him that means we got a touchdown. Drivin down the 76, we witness the FG and the go-ahead, and after I shower and feel my left arm again, I see we won. 24 Eagles points that we did not witness.
Thoughts:
DeSean Jackson could be a #1 receiver if he develops. His speed is obvious, but the major concern for many smaller receivers is their ability to go over the middle and take a big hit. Jackson took several big hits, and he owned the middle.
Tony Hunt should make the team. I don’t understand why we can’t have 5 backs, it’s the quantity we usually have — Mahe as a specialist (replaced by Booker), Westbrook, Buck, and Hunt. That’s what we did last year, I see no reason to bring a more talented corps back this year.
JR Reed just keeps coming up on the PA as making tackles, etc.
Book’s gotta catch his kickoffs, but man does the guy have moves.
Am I the first to use this term for a potential 3 headed monster with followed by a tail? Book Buck and Brook on the Hunt.
Asante is DAMN good, and so are Brown/Shepp.
McNabb was spot-on all night, his receivers kept dropping his passes. Kolb was similar.
Speaking of Kolb, he has a cannon-laser accurate arm, and his pocket presence is un-freaking-believable. He dodged rushers he couldn’t see (even I couldn’t see them half the time), and he’s got great mobility. I think he could start for several NFL teams today, and would solve a lot of those QB controversies out there.
Jerome McDougle!! Unbelievable. I’m really rooting for him.
