Andy Reid knows what he's doing. He can make Foles an All-Pro in this league.

Quite night for Hightower and Jones. Oline still looks like ass. Solder was better. Cannon was horrible. Defense was pretty good. Eagles 1st string struggles against the Pats 2nd string.
Edit: Cunningham had his best game today. He hurt Vick on one play, and was in on a couple other plays. Love was awesome. Brace showed some flashes.
Cannon was still a disaster, but Solder was noticably better. Vollmer and mankins still out. Vereens numbers are a little misleading, he played well when in, Bolden sucked, Ridley returned which is a strange sighting. The D line was absolutely dominant tonight... Chandler didn't register a sack, but was winning his matchup. Hightower had a few really nice plays, and Spikes played great. Brace consistently overwhelmed his matchup, and Cunningham was consistently in the QBs face. He layed the hit that took Vick out of the game.
Only bad news out of tonight is Chung goes down, so the injury concern now shifts from Ridley to Chung.

He has a huge arm and he is mobile, so he has the tools. Hopefully he can develop into something good.

That's right, I believe Alex Smith is worse than John Skelton. I believe were he in Skelton's shoes, he'd do worse. Using Warner for your argument is laughable. He's a future HOF QB. That's like scratching your head on why the Colts did so bad last year when Peyton took them to the playoffs each year.
lol at Kendall being better than Beanie. Ryan Williams will be better than Kendall, too. Combined, they beat Gore's numbers if they have decent run blocking which we did before Brown went down. We'll see how his absence impacts that part of our game.
Both offenses are garbage right now, the difference is that we actually have weapons. Gore and Davis are legit, but you had them in all the previous years, little hands just doesn't get it done. The difference between us is that I admit Kolb sucks, not sure why you're delusional about Smith.

Thanks for the intell Guys! Highly appreciated.
How bad did Chung his injury look? Did Tavon Wilson play tonight or is his injury still bothering him?
I hate pre-season injuries so much

That was a bad drop. If he is going to make the team he needs to do more then just return punts.

I celebrate their life choices, but feel compelled to post the following

Chung looks pretty serious, but I suppose we'll see. It sucks, because he really helps with how weak the secondary is, and it looks like we got enough up front and in our LBs that we should be able to have an actual defense. Hopefully he's alright.
edit- no Wilson, Ebner played though and has played well. Had a really impressive pick, read the play pretty well.

No Chik Fil-A for them.
Tavon Wilson did not play. Supposedly it's a shoulder injury for Chung, but it seems like it could be a concussion. Reports that Chung had to be helped to the bench by team mates, and it did look like he got his bell rung on the hit. I hope it's nothing serious
Chung looked dazed. Seemed like a concussion but apparently it's his shoulder. Wilson is out. Ebner came in, looked Ebneresque.

Mallets back in? LOL.
I thought that was to be expected. Branch was one of the more productive receivers in the last couple seasons.
He's getting overly excited.

I remember when the Browns signed him, I was so excited that year...
I liked Stallworth over Branch for his big play potential, but he doesn't seem able to really get separation anymore from what I can tell.

Brown has definitely beaten out Polk for 3rd string RB.

this is disrespectful. you are now on my ignore list buddy boy!
What a dissapointment after the fast start for him. He showed a lot when I watched training camp. Branch is a solid player, I'd just take Stallworth's speed.

It was like 2008 after our big year :lol
Stallworth looks slow out there. At least Branch is still able to get open because of his superior route running. Is Gaffney the lock everyone thinks he is?
What would buckethead say?
Eh, if I wanted to see a bunch of old guys who fell off mail it in for a paycheck, I'd go watch a Browns QB meeting.
did you like the first one? On a scale of amazing as usual to transcendent, how good is JCVD's performance?

Trent and Foles with the Brady look

Thank god I wasn't drinking anything or I would have done a spit take on my computer screen.
:jnc
The first one was ok. This one was more straight up gratuitous violence and hate.
JCVD did a good job but it wasn't his best.
He did put his roundhouse kick to good use and was generally a badass villain.

Yeah someone said trade a whole draft for Bruce, maybe jets?
Thanks cajun. I really wish the series would have been made about 20 years ago and been directed by James Cameron. I could have died happy
