Jets relishing their new role; Kevin Kolb, Tim Tebow grow into theirs - Peter King - SI.com
I watched the coach's tape of Kolb's six-of-11 performance against the Jaguars Friday night and took notice of how comfortable he looked leaving the pocket and throwing to targets on the run -- or scrambling when the play wasn't there. On his first third down, he circled back out of the backfield, pressured, and ran left, his primary receiver running free on a cross to the right of the formation. Knowing he'd be stepping up into the rush and throwing across his body, Kolb just ran to the left boundary and made the first down. He looked like the coach's son that he is, like he'd been prepping for this day for a couple of decades, not a couple of years.
Didinger's NFL Notes: What to do With Chad Hall?
Right now, the Eagles’ coaches are looking for reasons to keep Chad Hall. That’s not to say he is a lock to make the final roster. He still has a lot to overcome, including his size (5-foot-8) and the fact that the Eagles have a surplus of receivers. But Hall has crossed that all-important point where the coaches now want to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Flava Flav Thinks Michael Vick Can Lead The Eagles | Ted Williams Head
Never to dodge controversy, Flav — draped in a black Eagles No. 7 jersey and a Yankees cap turned backward — received a mix of boos and cheers when flicking the corner of his Vick jersey. Yo! You know what?" Flav asked the male-dominated crowd of mostly thirtysomethings. "I’m wearing this because Mike Vick is my favorite player. "And I think he’s the guy to lead the Philadelphia Eagles," the wild-eyed hype man said before — interestingly enough — busting into his solo joint, "911 Is A Joke."

This is what we know about Mike Vick right now. We know he's in considerably better shape than he was a year ago at this time when he still was trying to repair the damage done to his body from 18 months of eating prison chow
Good start to the Kevin Kolb era - NFC East Blog - ESPN
We were quickly reminded that DeSean Jackson is perhaps the most exciting player in the league on Kolb's first throw. He hit Jackson in stride on a quick slant, and the Jaguars linebacker never had a chance. Jackson's a matchup nightmare for any team, but the Jags seemed especially overmatched.

I'm happy for Chad Hall.
Right now he appears to be the starting PR, and possible KR.
I think he actually beats out Eldra Buckly for 3rd RB (Of course a number change will be in order). Buckley isn’t really needed for short yardage when we have Weaver and Bell. I think we cannot afford the keep 6 WR, because if we did, we may need to cut a DE (very unlikely). Also, we can’t afford to cut Tracey White (he is our 7th LB).
Also, bad news for Fokou, he doesn’t fit in this current roster.
LB(Bradley, Simms, Jordon) reserves (Gaithers, Chayney, Clayton, White). What space do we have for Fokou?
Tupou is hard to keep as well
OL (Peters, Herremans, Jackson, Andrews, Justice)
reserves (Howard, MJG, Cole, McGlynn, Dunlap).
In Kolb we trust
What about Chad Scott at RB? I don’t think Hall makes the team at RB in front of Scott.

Scott has 0 chance to make the team
And Halls chance is probably a little better, but all these articles on them are all “fluff.” In fact, I can’t wait til Scott gets cut so every idiot who thinks hes the next Jerome bettis can stop jocking him.
Scott didn’t even get any playing time over Mallet, so he’s clearly in the dog house. Secondly, We have so many WRs and a couple of guys capable of kick returning I don’t see where Hobbs fits.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

… I agreed with you, then you lost me there. :)

We do have a ton of capable returners
Hall, Demps, Maclin, Jackson, even Avant (on in emergency).
Buckley really brings nothing that Weaver doesn’t already bring. Hall is just a body to use to obsorb the punishment from Punt returning. No way Jackson does it this year. Since it appears Jackson wont return punts, it makes Hall the most likely candidate at this moment. I only say he makes it @ RB because we are crowded in every other position. I keep reading that the coaches have been paying him a ton of attention and giving him special attention. This is a good indicatin a player is making the team. Now if he flopps in a future game, than he’s done. But unless he flopps. He’s in.
In Kolb we trust
I guarantee Jackson returns punts this year.

I wish Djax
didn’t return punts anymore. Carolina Steve Smith was relieved of his duty along with every other star RB or WR who could return and play another position. We are tempting fate having him out there on SP teams.

Andy Reid plainly said that Jackson would return punts, he just didn’t him to do it in the preseason.

I missed the past 16 days, including the preseason game, so I’m still getting caught up on things. Assuming, eh.

Definitely a bad 16 days to miss ...
… and come out commenting. Stuff keeps changing.
The good news is it’s gonna change again and again and again before final cuts.

The top Philly fan article made me laugh...
especially since Shawn Hill (the dancing flyer fan) went to my high school and every now and then hangs out with my good friend and his older brother. lol even in high school I knew he’d be famous for something.

For eldra Buckley… If mike bell can’t stay healthy I have eldra as the number 2 running back behind McCoy… He runs hard and catches passes… Seems like a fit for the team and a nice change of pace to shady

Be Patient with Kevin Kolb
You all know I’m a McNabb guy. But I’m an Eagles fan first. I am impressed with Kolb. But go back and read my previous comments. The main thing I have noted about Kolb showed again Friday night. Interceptions! Or potential interceptions. Specifically, he has a problem seeing the safety. One commentator said he locks in on his receiver, causing him to not see the safety. I couldn’t necessarily tell by looking at the TV. On one hand, I’m happy he lets the ball fly in tight spaces. McNabb never did that unless he was really confident. As far as I can see this is his only glaring weakness which is great! Now how do you fix it? You may not ever be able to fix it. You could fix McNabb’s worm passes. They didn’t call Jaws the Polish Rifle for nothing. Ask Harold Carmichael what his hands felt like when Jaws first got here. It took a while for Ron to learn the touch pass and the fade to Harold. Randall used to hold the ball like a loaf of bread and had it knocked away a few times. I think that Andy can cover Kolb’s weakness seeing the safety, by designing in the play a move where Kolb spots the safety, freezes him by looking him off and then move through the progression. I think it may have to be a part of the progression. They should not expect Kolb to figure this out. He has had this tendency. But I think it is a byproduct of the gunslinger who does not fear sticking it in there. I think he is more Brett Favre than he is Aaron Rodgers. Flav is wrong. Vick is the perfect backup/change of pace player. Be patient! I’m telling you, the record this year should not be the main thing. This team has a lot of talent and most go through an extended preseason about 20 games. We will be ready in 2011.
I'm on board with the Eagles rebuilding plan.
I don't expect a winning season.
I don't expect a playoff appearance.
I do expect to see the best players emerge and improve week by week.
I do expect that this team at the end of the year shows that it can knock out teams trying to make the playoffs.
WE ARE REBUILDING

I skimmed ...
… and this was all I needed to see:
Flav is wrong.
Yo, I love that dude … as an entertainer. But I mean I don’t ask Kevin Kolb to pick my music for me, and I don’t see why Flav is any kind of football expert.
I did like Ghostface’s rant about Chase Utley at The Roots Picnic though!
