PrintEagles kick off preseason with win over Ravens
"We could be really special," Nnamdi Asomugha said Thursday night "I think we have a great opportunity to do some big things this year. But with those expectations, you have to put in a little more focus. It may not be as easy as other people are expecting it to be. We still have a lot of work to do."

"I feel that each and every guy in that locker room wants to be on this team," Vick said. "We've enjoyed each other so much in training camp. Guys want to play for us and I wish every guy can make this team. I feel this is the best team I've been on and we definitely have something special."

Kickoffs weren't an issue. Neither was the first field goal for Alex Henery, the rookie kicker brought in to take over for David Akers.
Quick takes on the Eagles first preseason game | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/12/2011
Jamaal Jackson is in a fight for his job, but he didn’t do anything last night that says he can’t play. He held his own in the middle against Haloti Ngata. Howard Mudd might prefer a different type of lineman, but if Jackson can stay healthy, he’s a good option.

Why you should watch V.Y. this preseason | National Football Post
Vince Young is going to get plenty of playing time this preseason for the Eagles. That’s the role of the No.2 QB in camp. Get your starter enough quality reps to prep for the regular season, but the majority of the snaps fall to the back-up QB. And that is going to impact both V.Y. and head coach Andy Reid.
Castillo's energy driving Eagles' defense - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo has a small cut on his face, right between the eyes. He got it when he head-butted linebacker Keenan Clayton in a recent practice while trying to drive home a point. Clayton had a helmet on at the time, hence the cut. When you watch Castillo in practices, it strikes you that it's a miracle he hasn't been hurt worse.

One thing that hasn’t been talked about is that the Colt Anderson & Eldra Buckley fans are going to be sad when it’s cut time because there is no need for them anymore with every kick being a touchback

Seriously hate that rule.
So much drama can occur on the kickoff, and they just took it away.

Other rules that suck
-The TD review rule…..just give the goddamn coaches 1 or 2 more challenges if you’re that concerned about getting this shit right.
-Fields that must be an NFL approved shade of green. Why? What if I want my fucking field to be glow in dark?

I know right?
I understand if they wanted to mandate what the field is made out of, or there should be a mandatory quality check of the field to prevent injuries…but seriiously, wtf?

sorry
HUGE boise fan here. I was born there.
The blue field is fine, I dont know why there is so much hate directed towards the smurf turf.

If the TD is obvious then they shouldn’t review it. As for the shade of green what shade didn’t they like to cause them to inforce it?

I’m actually a fan of the new TD review rule. Any time I can take challenges and time outs away from Andy Reid, I consider that a good thing.
Let the beasting begin.

i’m a big colt anderson fan, but really, if we have to cut him to make room for another guy who is better at S than ST, that is only making the team better, unfortunately…

Well one thing to keep in mind is that last season a lot of Baltimore’s kickoffs were touchbacks and it might be the reason so many of the kickoffs were touchbacks. If you look at the boxscores for other games, you’ll see they had quite a bit of opportunities to return kickoffs and the Chargers vs Seahawks game even had a kick returned for a TD. I’m going to reserve judgement on the new rule until I get a chance to see more games and look at more data.

Joe Banner is Evil Banners father. Kinda like Luke and Darth Vader.
Juan Castillo switching from the offensive line coach to Defensive coordinator is soooo dumb it might just work.

Question about Kafka
I live in WI so I don’t get to see many Eagles preseason games/practices. I’m hearing that his arm is questionable, does he have a weak arm or does he have the arm strength he just doesn’t use it enough?
Its a good question. I havent seen it be a problem as of yet, but im not a QB coach. I havent seen enough from him toknow that. But ill tell you what, he has GREAT pocket presence. He can regonize blitzes and his mechanics are pretty good. He honestly looked more poised than Kolb has ever looked back there (just see Cards game last night). I dont know if Kafka will ever become better than Kolb, but at this point in his career, he looks to be well on his way.

i like this quote from vick:
“I told him to get open and I’ll find him,” Vick said of Celek. “I went back and looked at film by myself in the offseason and a majority of the time last year Brent was open and I failed to throw to him because I was focused on DeSean and Jeremy.”
Always improving….I love it…. he’s showing so much dedication…..

Speaking of kick-offs
the announcers for last nights game looked pretty dumb when they kept talking about what a big leg Henery has without mentioning that they moved the kick-off line up.
Cowboys suck.
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.
