PrintToday marks the first day our newest Eagles free agent acquisitions can practice! That means Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins, Ronnie Brown, Evan Mathis, Ryan Harris, Jarrod Page, Anthony Hargrove, Vince Young, and others. The stands are packed for the first time, and lucky for them, it was probably the most fan-friendly practice to date. Let's get to it:
11 on 11's, thud:
- Vick to Avant down the seam. Hanson beat on the play. Some jackass in the stands yelling "You suck Hanson!" Quick note to anyone attending training camp. If the thought of yelling "You suck, (fill in player's name)" enters your mind ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY, just leave. You're a crappy fan, and you're not needed. Training camp is free, and we're weeks away from the actual season. And Hanson had a really good season last year - At least know what you're talking about. So just shut up. And I think the fans in the area of that did some self-policing, because I didn't hear that guy again. Anyway, it just kinda pissed me off, and as it turns out, Hanson had a great day.
(Sitting at the bar as I type this in between practice sessions, my buddy and amateur photographer buddy SR is looking over my shoulder and telling me to add "Don't yell to players by their last name to get them to turn around when you don't even know their first name." For example, most fans will yell "Jeremy!" or "Todd!" when trying to get Maclin's or Herremans' attention, but will yell "Howard!" when yelling for Austin Howard. That annoys him more than it annoys me, but he's not going to stop bugging me until I add this, so I may as well just it over with and put it in.)
- Quick out to Chad Hall, short left complete. Nate Allen on the tackle. Most common comment I hear when fans first see Chad Hall: Wow, I'm bigger than that guy.
- Celek double-catches a ball down the seam, and it's knocked away by Allen and Kurt Coleman. Coleman having a nice camp so far.
- Heavy blitz. Vick rushes throw. Incomplete to Riley Cooper.
- Hard count. Babin jumps. Quick out to Riley complete. Eagles have been doing hard counts regularly all camp to try to get the defense to not jump anymore. Right out of the gate, they get the new guy.
- Screen right. Looked like they had something, but bad pass on the screen by Mike Kafka.
- Kafka pass over the middle to Hall. Picked by Hanson. Really nice play by Jose there (as Andy calls him) - They both gt hands on the ball, the ball popped up and Hanson made the grab as Hall fell. No yells of "You're awesome, Hanson!" after the play.
- Hard count again. Multiple guys jump. Quick slant by Kafka complete (didn't catch receiver).
- Kafka deep ball incomplete to Sinorice Moss. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie will Moss the entire way. DRC is a star so far.
- Kafka short right to Donald Lee complete.
2 WR's vs 3 DB's
- Vick corner to Hall complete.
- Short dump to Moss incomplete. Hanson right there.
- Vince Young incomplete right side. Broken up nicely by DRC.
- VY deep ball to Gerald Jones incomplete. Of the WR's that have no shot of making the team, the one that has stood out to me the most has been Gerld Jones. Practice squad possibility.
- VY with a pump and throw to the corner on the money to 80 (don't know who 80 is - New guy).
- Vick quick out to DeAndre Brown, complete. DeAndre Brown, by the way, is a monster.
- Vick bad deep ball to Hall. Too short. Hall still wide open anyway. Drop. Ew. Ugly all around. Jaiquawn Jarrett toasted on the play.
- Deep ball to Riley. Covered well by Lindley. Lindley played well today too.
- VY rolls right side. hits Moss short on the run.
3 WR vs 4 DB's
- VY hits Avant short vs. Nnamdi. Debating on whether I'm going to refer to Nnamdi in print as "Nnamdi" or "Asomugha." I guess "Nnamdi" is already winning.
- VY picked off by Nnamdi on a seam route. Crowd predictably goes nuts.
- Kafka hits Turner over the middle.
- Kafka short to D. Brown.
- Kafka nice ball down the seam to Avant. Avant is quietly having a really good camp too. You kind of forget about him, because he's just always there, and always good. Deserves a quick mention.
3 WR vs 5 DB
- Short screen to Riley incomplete. Riley not making plays like he did last camp.
- Deep ball by VY a little off. Nice adjustment by D. Brown who goes way up and makes a nice grab 40 yards downfield.
1 on 1's WR vs DB
- Jason Avant vs Asante Samuel. Incomplete. Asante yaps.
- Hall vs Lindley - Incomplete. Nice play by Lindley on a pass breakup.
- Kafka deep to Johnny Lee Higgins. Underthrown, and Curtis Marsh makes the pick. As Marsh runs it back, Asante runs out onto the field, grabs the ball from Marsh and spikes it. Crowd cheers.
- Jorrick Calvin with a nice pass breakup. Eagles DB's dominating. Think we'll be seeing a lot of that this year.
- Jamar Wall now with a pass breakup. Eagles O can't complete anything right now.
- Jamar Adams manhandles Moss at the line, but Moss eventually gets free and catches a short slant.
- Jerrod Johnson deep middle for D. Brown. Drop.
- Johnson short right to 80 complete.
- Vick pass to Avant not close. Again, good coverage by Lindley.
- Deep ball by Vick to JLH (Higgins form now on). DRC right there again.
- Vick short slant to D. Brown beats Colt Anderson.
- Moss incomplete over the middle, incomplete. Lindley there again.
- Kafka deep ball to Jones complete. Wall beaten on the play.
- Vick deep ball to 83. Broken up beautifully by DRC.
OK, I'm up to 1,000 words, so that's it for now. Will have the rest of the recap later.

Solid. Tough to say how good the CB’s are when you’re missing your top 2 receivers, but we’ll see how it goes once DeSean comes back.
The Jruth shall be told.
fans at TC
Kind of reminds me of training camp after the 2007 season. That was the year AJ threw 4 picks against the Seahawks. Anyway, they were running 11 on 11 drills and it was obviously designed for Feeley to throw a softy pass to get intercepted so the defense could work on some things like returning INTs.
Some jackass in the stands flips out about trading him again and how he lost them games the year before because of his dumb INTs. Obviously I’m not remembering exactly what he said correctly, but that was the gist of it.
It just show how ill-informed the person was. And I get most “fans” are not knowledgeable, but it was obviously what the point of the 11 on 11 was that day.
On DRC vs Moss, it’s not often that your corner is bigger and faster than your WR.

I know I was laughing too. Grabs the ball from marsh and spikes it? Haha who does that?

Our Top WR’s are Avant, Cooper and Hall.

Well as I have been told
Your WR are better than ours, so ours are comparable right now with your top guys out. Hence the math works!
“O can’t complete anything right now.”
A lot of teams may be saying this against this secondary this year…

Never happen. They don’t close the gates. The stands are always full where the main practices are going, but usually there are the other stands on the upper field that isn’t filled.
Plus there is a lot of space to stand.
Just in case you’re not aware, there are 3 fields. The 2 main ones are where they usually do most of the drills and 7 on 7s and 11 on 11s. The 3rd field is usually just drills and the kickers and punters working.
There are two practices usually around 8 and 2. 2 obviously has less people because there’s no pre-planned autograph session. But it’s often the better time to get up close and personal with the players after the second practice.
There’s usually (IIRC) a sign at the entrance that tells you what is going on at each field.
If you can, though, sit or stand around the field with the main bleachers. Any scrimmaging will be done on that field.
Also, by the way… Jason Avant always dominates in these drills. I remember seeing that last year. He’s better than DeSean or Maclin in these 1 v 1 or 2 v 3 drills.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
Why is this exactly?
He’s not faster than the DBs. Perhaps he purely is craftier, with good routes and uses his body. I love me some Avant!
Slot receivers are typically very good at beating their man
That’s why they’re put in the slot – it’s an easy-access, high-percentage player that isn’t afraid to be in the middle of the field.
Also
Slot players used to getting clocked over the middle…in practice drills, not likely to get pancaked…so if they don’t have alligator arms in an NFL game, chances are they’re spreading their wings come practice time…
---AstrosFan (Austin Lawyer and Sports Fan)
Because, slot WR's are typically
the more physical, slower, sure handed guys who run the best routes… Avant’s routes are amazing.

Too often last season. I was stunned. Avant dropped a couple easy* passes in the last few games. Celek too. It was so weird.
*there are no easy passes in the NFL.

Wonder if he's got any chance to make the roster
Hall/Moss/Higgins can’t feel that comfortable as the last WRs to make the team.
by Tracer Bullet on Aug 5, 2011 1:24 PM EDT up reply actions
You're quite wrong.
You need to watch him play. He has a lot of utility to the team, especially as a RS.
Oh, and also CHAD HALL IS AN AMERICAN HERO.

From what Jimmy is writing Halls looking pretty good.

He's a safety normally
and not very big. I’m not that surprised.

That alone probably won’t be enough to make this final roster, however.
Don’t safeties typically get burned on 1v1s?

I have to disagree on that. I think its because of how well he played on ST last year he makes it. He was exactly where he needed be on ST. Not to mention it adds a little continuity on ST and if I remember April was pretty high on this guy last year.

It’s going to be difficult to fit him on the team, what with all the corners we’ll already be carrying.
I liked his play last year too, but the dude is buried when it comes to an actual starting 22 position.
Yeah
I see that, and maybe it just me but I just liked seeing his energy out there. On a side note, how DO you close the blockquote on here?

What I do is copy the quote I want, paste it in the comment box, drag the mouse over the quote you want blocked (essentially highlighting it) and then click the “quote” button.
And I think Colt sticks as long as he plays well on ST, unless Page shines and earns a starting spot.

I still don't think that saves him.
He’s behind four safeties already and there’s a good chance they carry six CBs if they can’t move Hanson (or, I guess Samuel) because I can’t see them cutting Lindley or Marsh. That’s a lot of DBs standing around on gameday.

by FlyEagles15 on Aug 5, 2011 2:15 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
So who's out?
Allen and Jarrett are locks. Coleman is a near lock. You think he makes it over Page and Jackson? They need some experience at the back end. Samuel and Hanson are the only guys who’ve been here longer than a year.
by Tracer Bullet on Aug 5, 2011 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions
I give you the first 3 are locks
but I think Jackson is gone, he is busted and has been a step behind. Page, Im not sure as I havent heard anything about him one way or the other.

I think Colt makes more of an impact than Marlin would....
I haven’t seen or heard anything about Page… How is he playing? ST is obviously an important aspect of the game and Colt is a standout ST’er.
OT, but this whole convo on my phone is in block quotes haha. It’s fine though on my computer.
"Get 'Em"
Honestly.
Coleman, Allen and Jarrett are locks… That 4th Safety needs to play special teams above anything else.
Marlin doesn’t play special teams and its been said he looks really slow.
Page just got here, he’s got an uphill battle.
Then there’s the guys who didn’t do anything…
Anderson’s probably the 4th guy, because of all the remaining Safety’s who aren’t locks he’s the best STer.

I am going to be real curious to see who makes up our ST units.
I'm thinking
Lindley, Marsh, Coleman, Anderson, Hanson, all backup LB’s…

I said that Deandre Brown was a beast. I even hoped the Eagles would draft him. The kid is a stud. A top 5 recruit wr out of high school. He put up monster numbers his freshman year.then he broke his leg and maybe never healed right. Glad to see he is making an impact. We just got a poor man’s Megaton as a undrafted free agent.

We really did
His leg healed after last season – dude is 6’6" and ran a 4.35 at the combine. Still, maturity issues seem to follow him. I think he’ll be fine when surrounded by professionals.
And he has a chance to be pretty much whatever the hell he lets himself be. He’s that physically gifted.
so the knock on him was his leg?
Was wondering why he went UD
by sandiegoeaglesfan on Aug 5, 2011 1:41 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
well he ran a 4.4 flat before he broke his leg. He is 6’6 running a 4.4. We have to keep him

The worst part is when he tries to rest it on the ground and it moves, then he quickly picks it back up again.

He's been mine since 2005
I can’t bring myself to buy another team’s laundry.
But during his presser, I literally had the make-a-jersey window open, awaiting confirmation of his number. I was probably the first official order of’ Asomugha – 24’ on the planet.
Im just a little unsure that if
we do cut Hanson (not saying it will), but if that happened would Nnamdi go back to 21?

I don't even care
24 already has a lot of relevance for me, being a Mariners fan. Plus, it means I was in on the ground floor if he did change numbers.
There is no way this could end poorly!
Well you have that then.
I just hate picking up a jersey and having the player change the following year i.e. Shady. On a side note, man Im sorry about the Mariners (Im up here in Seattle) I really thought they had something going earlier in the year. But hey if it makes you feel any better Im a Dodgers fan and everything about them is awful this year. Wooo hoo!

Eh, it is what it is
Ackley’s been an absolute blast to watch. The team’s got a lot of young talent, and they made some really shrewd deals at the deadline.
I’m cautiously optimistic for what the future brings. At the very least, Dustin! Also, the offense literally could not be worse than it’s been for the last year and a half (ever since Carp got called back up and was given actual reps, they’ve had a significant uptick in productivity – f*cking Carlos Peguero). It’s not possible.
I think if you can get your offense clicking again
you def. have something going for the future. I cant stand your division except for the A’s so I want to see the M’s actually do good. I like what Wedge is doing though so far for you guys.

The Raiders are my AFC team and considering the man crush, I had no problem buying his jersey. I’m waiting until everything is set with numbers and such. Granted, my cousin is buying me my Aso jersey since… when i mentioned a Nnamdi to Eagles rumor back in January, he promised me that if he somehow ended up on the Eagles, he’d buy me his Eagles jersey.
Fast forward to last weekend…. :)

I think Sinorice Moss is in the lead, it seems like a lot of people are talking about him making plays yet I still think he won’t make the team

I’m pulling for DeAndre Brown like everyone else is it seems. I would love to be able to throw out Riley Cooper, DeAndre Brown, and Celek in the redzone. That much height would be hard to counter.

2 questions
We all know Marsh is a project, but how far off is he? Is he routinely competitive out there? That’s probably hard to judge since Jackson and Maclin aren’t even on the field.
Has Lindley become serviceable? I mean they’re not cutting him or Marsh. So how many DBs do you see them keeping? The big three + marsh + lindley = 5. Is MmmmBop a roster casualty? Or do they stash Marsh on IR.
Oh, and this is the best Eagles coverage anywhere for my money. Sheil at MTC does a good job, but JimmyK is the master as far as training camp is concerened.
From what I’ve seen on PE.com, he’s played very well. He’s always shadowing his receiver and has broken up a fair amount of balls. But like you said:

Did you happen to catch Dunlap get worked by Hunt? Dunlap looked like a tower next to Hunt and he just shoved him back. Just ridiculous.
And I agree completely on Watkins. Looks very solid.

per PE.com
Earlier, we took a look at the dime defense the Eagles featured during the morning practice. That package featured Asante Samuel on the left side, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on the right side and Nnamdi Asomugha and Joselio Hanson on the inside, with Asomugha occasionally man-marking the tight end. In the nickel defense, Hanson remained covering the slot while Asomugha and Samuel took care of the outside.

Are we adding anymore players anytime soon, or are we winging it now. We still need to address some problem areas. I feel uncomfortable with where we are right now as a team. How does Castillo defense look?
We’ll see what kind of defense Castillo calls a week from now in the first preseason game. Probably going to see a decent amount of nickel and dime packages this year. As far as adding players – if Maclin is ready for the start of the year then I’d lean towards not signing anyone, but if Maclin isn’t 100% then look for a veteran to come in and help out. Also could possibly see a vet LB signed sometime during the preseason. It’s tough to project because the organization has been so tight lipped about who they’re signing and what kind of moves they’re making.
The Jruth shall be told.
We’re at 89 or 90? So you have to evaluate and cut some people before you can just keep signing players day after day… lol.

Thanks for the imput. I read somewhere that Asante is restructuring his contract, and the F.O is working on a deal for Vick. I assumed that was to get D-jax back and to sign another impact player. Hopefully a veteran lb or at least a 6’5 wr for the redzone.
I am pretty sure that the OL coach new DC is happy with the young kids at LB and we won’t be bringing in any vets. He wants speed, and no one left in the FA pool can offer more speed that the guys we are already lining up.
MoFo has proven he can play and may actually improve by moving to WILL.
Chaney could be a stud at SAM for the next 8 years.
Matthews is a good cover LB, and that will be the primary responsibility in the new overall Defensive scheme (more Tampa 2/Cover 2) for the MIKE.
AR may incorporate Sunshine in the RZ more this year, but he has always loved the little gadget plays down there (QB draw, shovel passes, for some reason Chad Hall plays, 4 wr sets).
Tampa 2/Cover 2 involves zone.
There will not be much zone. Teams don’t pay the best man-to-man cover cornerback in football $12 million dollars to play zone on nearly every down.
Our LB's are taking more of a Tampa 2 look.
Trust me.. It’s weird but we’re going to have man on the WR’s for the most part, most likely Nate in Zone playing center field and our DL’s attacking with our LB’s covering Zones rather than players.

Can anyone with prior experience tell me about the autograph tent lottery?
IE: Are the tickets located somewhere out in the open? About how many people get to go in?
I’m pretty psyched about getting to go, and I’m looking forward to everything, but getting signatures from Vick and the CBs would put it over the top. I just want to temper my expectations if the likelihood is poor.
I appreciate any and all feedback!
