Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

What they're saying - Eagles over Falcons

Andy Reid on the reaction to Mike Vick

"I think everybody felt it. I think everybody rallied around Mike [Vick] and he was one of the captains. I know Arthur Blank welcomed him back. My hat is off to him for that. That's a tribute to him and his organization. Our fans were incredible. I can't believe they show up like they do and in the numbers that they do. The fans in general, calling Michael's name out, I give my hat off to them for giving him a second chance."

Sheldon Brown on his game sealing pick 6

I was in the right place at the right time. I read the coverage and the QB didn't see me. It changed the momentum. I was just happy to be in position to make the pick."

Donovan McNabb on three straight wins

Our confidence is at a level now where we are satisfied with how we are playing but we have to continue to improve each week. Offense, defense and special teams, we all came together this week. We will look at the film and make the changes we need to make for next week. There was a lot of positive things that occurred today."

More after the jump.

Michael Vick on his return

"It was great. It sent chills down my spine and it made me know that people here still appreciate what I have done and what I will be able to do moving forward. It was awesome though to be able to come out and make some plays and get into the flow of the football game."

"I will never forget this game. I will never forget coming back to the city of Atlanta. Arriving yesterday I will never forget seeing the landmarks of the city that I lived in for six years. I will never forget shedding a tear on the bus ride over here thinking about all my experiences here in the past. It was a different feel and situation and this time, I was the opposition."

Falcons QB Chris Redman sung a familiar tune

"They are known for their pressure," Redman said. "We knew it was going to happen. They brought some good pressure."

Falcons Owner Arthur Blank on the reception Vick received.

"I thought the reaction was mixed. A lot of people are happy to see him back in the NFL, and to see him have success … the reaction certainly was understandable."

Leonard Weaver talked about his big day

"Running the ball and catching the ball is something I've always been able to do throughout my career," said Weaver, who finished with exactly 100 yards from scrimmage. "I was fortunate coach called my number and I was able to get the job done."

"I went in and saw Andy a couple of weeks ago and I told him, 'I know West is out right now. Whatever you need me to do, I'll be there to do it. Just lean on me if you have to,'" Weaver said.

Let the beasting begin.

As soon as he gets an extension< i’m getting his official Jersey. Period. Plus it helps that I’m a Weaver too, so it’s double thumbs up for me.

get it! i got birthday gift… a jersey! I was so excited. I have been ranting to my parents for a DeSean jersey since forever. When they get me one, its always the authentic, so they put in bout a couple hundred dollars. My favorite is my McNabb jersey. So im unwrapping my gift, and I see the white jersey! Yes, my first away jersey! Now im really pumped. I pull away the extra wrapping and see the number…. 36. This man better come back from his concussion and rebound strong. fml

I’m mad at myself for never getting a Dawkins jersey, but its never too late for one of his jerseys.

100% with you

This guy has the skill to be a long-term staple of our offense!

im cool with a forever contract

he seems like a kind of mike alscott fan favorite type, and if signed long term could come back as an ambassador, or enforcer

Weaver is insanely good...

Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan talked about him for like 30 minutes on my way home today on Sirius. They had Sean Jones on and Falcon fans that called in and all they could talk about was Weaver and what a good pick from Seattle it was. I’m almost Weaver’d out… wait, no I’m not.

I think we finally played a really tight game

Where we did what we had to do in all facets of the game, for the most part, consistently. Now let’s build on that, and let’s beat a decent team. Giants will be thirsting for a win.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Jody is complaisant with a win! its a festivus miracle!

Nice Joe

Good to see you are happy with this week. You get your cookie.

i just want to know..

why leonard weaver doesn’t get more runs out of the I during the game. He should touch the ball at least 10 times a game.

by packimop on Dec 7, 2009 5:57 PM EST reply actions  

did you see those moves in the open field?

and those hands? i say make it 15 a game. split him with mccoy, then when they’re both in, you can do so much more: motion mccoy to the flat and move weave back, go two-back set, i-form, leave one in for protection and run the other out in a pattern, the list goes on.

use your weapons, andy. make it easier on yourself and marty!

Show him the money!

They have got to lock Leonard Weaver down long-term! I like the fact that he totally took on a leadership role and basically said that he was the man that would get it done while Westbrook was out. He is definitely the type of player that we love in Philadelphia. Get the contract done, Jeffrey Lurie!
