Andy Reid updated several injuries in his Monday morning presser and the best news is that LT Jason Peters' knee injury was not serious.
Defensive end Victor Abiamiri is "day to day" with a knee sprain. Left tackle Jason Peters has a knee contusion and an ankle sprain. Middle linebacker Omar Gaither has a foot sprain.
Peters is expected to play next Monday night against the Redskins. Good news considering how painfully obvious it was made on Sunday just how important a healthy Jason Peters is to this football team.

And hit the weight room. Not sure I’ve seen anyone tossed around like that in the NFL.

thats great news
However i am starting to wonder about the intestinal fortitude of this guy. He sat out most of tc and preseason with “injuries”. I just hope he’s putting all his effort into the game each week. We paid him a ton of money and sometimes that makes people lazy for a while
Brent Celek is the man
well this one was pretty legit. In fact after seeing the play he was hurt on, I’m shocked it wasn’t serious. A big guy fell on his leg and bent it in a very unnatural way.
Big heart, small brains
Because it is typical of watching an Eagles game at a bar. McNabb sucks . . . Reid sucks . . .
i think that my obsession with the Eagles may be at an all time high. how else do you explain that as all the people at my bar are bitching about mcnabb sucking, that i’m the only one cussing at dunlap getting taken to school by richard seymour. who watches the left tackle when the qb has the ball? well, besides me. everyone was looking at me funny as i’m like “come on dulap, get in the game” as they wonder “who’s dunlap?”
There's nothing wrong with being an informed fan
Most games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. You’d be right to call Dunlap out too; he was terrible.
Very true… This loss was not McNabb’s fault.
Granted, McNabb didn’t do a ton to help us win the game, he didn’t do anything to lose the game.
The O-line was pathetic, the play calling was bad, and the execution all-around was bad. It would help if our receivers would catch passes at critical times.
Which is just the sort of thing that drives me nuts about Eagles fans. Obviously, the people here are a self-selecting group and most fans aren’t this obsessive, but geez, how hard is it to notice the QB is spending most of his time 1) running for his life or 2) on his ass?

Haha Well Said
When I saw your headline I was about to start flipping out.
… and then I read the rest of the post.
There is still hope
With Peters still in play and Abiamiri still hopeful to recover and get healthy again… there is still hope for this team to recover and make the playoffs.
There are a lot of concerns, but with some changes to personnel and philosophy, we have the talent to get it done. It might be good that a loss like this happened so early in the season.
it'd be better if we traded for a LB that can cover a TE before tomorrow
Without that, we’ll get owned in the playoffs…just think of the TEs we’ll face during the season or in the playoffs

it could really get ugly if we dont’ fix that inadequacy…
oh brother where are thou?
oh jeesus i dont like that this lol wished we had a good pass covering LB…..lol…well we’ve lived with and survived with our LBs that we have right now, but at the same time, it’s not like theres anything we can do to be able to cover TEs more effectively…..maybe get one of the defensive backs to cover the TE once in a while….
If I'm goin' to hell, you're coming with me...
or trade for one that can cover
that’s not a hole that should be overlooked. I understand we dont’ stress LB play, but we’ll lose multiple games if we can’t cover the TE. Everyone and their mother knows it. Only Wade Phillips will be too dumb to exploit it.
I don't think the solution is that easy
I’m almost certain TE coverage is the safety’s job a fair bit of the time in a 4-3. Depends on formation strength and number of receivers to one side, and whether the Eagles are in zone or man, but to generalize … safeties are going to be responsible for vertical routes, and stuff in the 6-12 area (some corners even) …
LBs drop to hook zones (over the middle coverage, and underneath deep in routes) and sometimes drop hook-to-flat. In man, they often end up with backs out of the backfield or the innermost slot receiver in trips, although they cover TEs who drag across the formation a lot.
I think this is where OCs isolate against a Trotter and run a guy across the field, knowing he can’t keep up.
I’ll have to keep a closer eye on it, but I was always under the impression Gaither was good in coverage. Which LB are we proposing we replace, and in what situations?

Dodged a bullet with this one
Whew.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
I know anytime you have injuries your play will drop off a bit when your backups come in, but you need to have adequate backups coming off the bench. dunlap is not good enough to come off the bench, so he shouldnt be on the roster
to be fair Justice got worked when he came in against the Giants but has been playing pretty well at RT when everyone had already counted him out.

"The 0-2 pitch, swing and a miss! STRUCK HIM OUT! The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 World Champions of baseball! And let the city celebrate! " - Harry Kalas 1936-2009
there’s some truth… again, let’s be realistic here. how many “real snaps” has dunlap seen? not training came or preseason games, real snaps? think there’s a bit of a learning curve between those two things? i certainly do. he’ll be fine, baptism by fire isn’t the worst thing.
honestly, the interior looked worse with cole and max slow off the snap almost every time
"I tried to run him over but Eli had his big boy pads on and he kind of stopped me from getting in the end zone. The next time I’ll try to jump over his head.’’ - Asante Samuel
Yeah
What was up with those slow “getting off the snaps”? Couldn’t they hear, or were they confused with the snap count?

Damn straight
Justice was the only lineman who played “ok” yesterday for most of the game and only really had 1 play I can remember where he got beat badly.
ok, but only when
he switched to RT. Do I want him out there as back up LT? No, not really.
Not only that, but we saw Dunlap get worked during the preseason. Honestly, I still don’t know why they keep ignoring Mike McGlynn, and putting their trust in Dunlap.

you must mean RG
Cole can slide over to RG
That 44-6 eagles cowboys game on Dec. 29/2008 was the best game i've ever seen
k so what’s the deal with the andrews brothers? I’m too lazy to find out for myself
Representing CANADA eh?
Good news
Peters hasn’t lived up to his billing/paycheck but the failoff was huge to Dunlap who was beat repeatedly yesterday by Seymour. Even a relatively inexperienced lineman should be getting simply pancaked even by a veteran DE like Seymour. Poor technique and a lack of strength.
As for Abiamiri, big deal. I still don’t understand why fans have been so high on this guy who simply can’t stay healthy and hasn’t brought much in terms of production when he is in the lineup. Played well the first week against the Panthers but since then he hasn’t done a whole lot.
Yesterday we was a complete zero with a dumb personal foul and a general failure to hold the point of attack well against the run.
Strongly disagree
He’s been a rock at LT on pass protection, and we know that he can pull. It’s just up to Andy Reid to call some plays where he can pancake people on the outside. I’m very happy with Peters so far. It’s amazing what you can get out of a guy once you actually teach him to pass block properly.

Best news I've heard all day
now let’s get after these Redskins.

Runyan?
I’m glad to hear Peters is OK – but it seems that the whole line has issues. What happened with Runyan? Weren’t they looking him over the other week to possibly come back? I haven’t followed up on that – but does anyone wonder if the old veteran might be able to help out a line that seems to have a lot of issues?
And replace Justice, the one guy on the OL who has been both healthy and consistently playing well? How does that help?
