Philadelphia Eagles Thread

Itssoeasy

I've seen the clip of the Riley cooper incident and heard shadys reaction to it and I can't see cooper being in Philly for the season. Vick came out and said he forgave cooper ,but how rich would it have been if Vick hadn't forgiven him when the eagles players forgave him for what he did.

Chip kelly and the coaches won't let the issue affect the team, so if a good number of the roster say they can't play with then its goodbye Riley.

I think they should keep him. He said one word. It sets a huge double standard in the NFL if Cooper is cut for saying one word while probably drunk, and yet earlier in the year Chris Culliver got away with ridiculously homophobic comments in the run up to the super bowl.

He will be cut eventually if the team decide it. The comment was immature and offensive but it was a slip of the the tongue if he was a genuine racist why play in the NFL. Wish we drafted another receiver though the receiving core is way to small.

Still though you need a legit Wr such Dez bryanat, megatron, fitz and aj Green. the patritos did well without a true wr but they usually excetion to the rule . Our Te's Have potential, cant for 3TE sets with Desean as vertical threat. Am expecting McCoy to be an all-pro this year.

We would all like a wr like that but there bloody hard to come across bar Bryant there all top 10 first round pics and none of there teams are particularly successful a lot if the better teams out there don't necessarily have that bit elite receiver they have 1-3 guys who have a knack for getting open/cause matchup problems

Yeah i agree with on that point, it is a luxury and they are rare players. The match up problems is good but we do need to bit more physical players. While damarious is nice Johnson is having a nice camp he is too similar to Desean. Hopefully Benn can step now that he is recovered from injury looked so good in college and is a nice compliment to Jackson.
Nice to hear that our defense doing well hoping for it to based on the steelers model love that defense.

I agree that there similar I'm just hoping ertz celek and casey can offset the size issues not sure what to make of Ben to be honest could be a really good piece but I just have something in the back of my mind telling me not to get my hopes up

aha_sender

Benn is a complete unknown at this point but he does have raw talent . I would take 8 wins this year

And another one bites the dust benn gone for the season

aha_sender

Wow what we do at receiver now

Desean Jackson
Riley cooper
Jason avant
Demarius Johnson
Russel Shepard

First depth chart from the eagles. Foles/Vick both as starting QB

Itssoeasy

Vick gets the start but him and Foles will split the reps in the game and split the pre season games. Barkley will play tomorrow night as well.

Itssoeasy

So what are my fellow eagles fans hopes and expectations for the game tonight ?

I want to see both Vick and foles behind an O- line of some description tonight.

Avants first drop since last preseason

itd be awsome if the commentators actually said something about the eagles instead of bb tom brady bb tom brady bb tom brady

Are you watching on gamepass nerd ? I'm watching patriots live coverage but listening to Eagles commentary over it.

Ya but just realised that gamepass seems to be a stream from the pats that's very annoying

McCoy brown and Polk should rip it up this year

Itssoeasy

Nice drive by foles there for the TD. Foles even ran a play and slid FEET first and its the first team o-line in front of foles ?

TO.

You can change the audio source. Put your mouse on the screen and the volume bar and progress bar will pop up. You will see the Wrench icon. Hover over it and you can change the audio.

Foles ran a few times last year he's not quick but if he sees space he will take a few yards

I think it's first team still

Barkley next drive aparently

barkley not playing well he will be better for backing up this year (all be it off seeing him for half a game)

run d didnt play well

momah needs to play at least one year on the practice squad

but overall the offense looks positive

Yeah Barkley missed some open receivers but first snaps as a NFL QB ill leave him away with that one. The D needs to start playing way better.

Both Vick and foles behind the 1 offense were very good and showed good signs which was encouraging.

Vinnycurry looked well

Vick + time = TD. that is all

Over all I was happy with what I seen last night. I think vick will have a very good season this year. but haters will hate

round 2 of vick v foles tonight should be interesting im looking forward to seeing barkley get a bit of time again tonight as well

the wrs should be playing lights out if salas can build on last week he should make the roster im looking for big games from johnson and sheppard to

rb should be fun as well brown/polk should be an interesting battle

the d has to show more than what they did last week i expect better this week

Itssoeasy

Only watched the first half of the Carolina game and even if it is the pre season that o-line isn't related to the one last year. foles and Vick have had so much time and were making throws and McCoy and Polk were getting space and holes opening for them.

foles at the end of the first quarter seemed to lose concentration as he fumbled at least two snaps I saw and threw the pick.

Vick looked great and showed what he can do when healthy and has time to make throws when not off balance, and the pick was right at the end so wouldn't hold it against him.

second half to follow.....

Second half of the eagles game was okay as Barkley started off better than last week but then started missing his throws behind the intended targets which was the opposite of last week.

The defence was better than last week but still need to improve but it's pre season and they will have time but it was better than week 1 which is good to see.

so after two weeks of preseason it good that things aren't going backwards but forwards and the worries about chip Kelly's offence don't seem to be happening yet anyway.

oh ya and wing the punter, jaysus what a boot on him, he gets so much hang time that the coverage for the eagles gave the panthers return guy little time and space to get a return.

well vicks our starter week one what do ye think lads?

hes had a good preseason but it feels like been there done that well have to see if chips offense can change him

Not surprised by Vick being the starter. I said I'd be happy with foles as the starter week one but he isn't. I'll be interested to see how Vick performs with a functioning, intact online, but Vick still needs to cut out stupid decisions he makes. If he can do that then ill be happy. I just want the team doing well, if that's with Vick as starter then great.

nearly there lads cant wait to see chips offense at long last

happy with the roster although there where some odd calls the strangest ones for me where cutting acho after his huge game v the jets and cutting harbour but keeping ikeguenu

also williams fighting with cooper today in practice i dont know if he started this or not but im already sick of his **** really dont like the guy

mikemac1

Cary Williams is a hot head

Pushed an official to the ground in the Super Bowl and somehow was not ejected.

Would sit on the sidelines yapping at the vets. And himself signed from the Titans practice squad...

Confidence is good but Eagles fans can look forward to a season of average play, constant yapping at officials and giving excuses to coaches. It's never his fault

He did a job in Baltimore, worked his way up to be a starter, got a ring but he is not missed

Fenix

DRC had a good game for the Broncos last night was very solid covering Smith who destroyed them last year. Don't Really Care though... See what I did there?

Yea Williams seems to be a bit of a hot head all right, although I can see teams targeting Cooper for a lot of abuse this season. Just depends on how he reacts.

What cooper did was stupid and I'm not justifying it at all but excluding that insedent I don't like his personality I don't think iv ever disliked an eagle more and we've garinteed him far to much money over the next few years if rather have fletcher and boykins on the outside

What was the story with Danny Watkins lads?, can he become a player?

He can wont be a star but can be good

Son Of A Vidic

How has Foles been doing since Chip arrived?

ok not as good as vick not great but not bad he would be a game manager whereas vicks a playmaker. if he comes in i feel we will lean a lot harder on the run game.

he will be playing a lot this year so im hoping he improves

Son Of A Vidic

I worry about Vick staying healthy for any period of time.

i feel we can still gain a lot of yards with foles in there just slightly less explosive and we will be at a slightly greater risk of interceptions

Son Of A Vidic

I haven't seen Foles play for quite awhile now, but I did like him when I saw him.

my big issue with vick is hes a dink and duck passer he will hit the occasional outstanding pass down the field but he throws a lot of picks on downfield throws

Fenix

A lot of encouragement to be taken from last nights game! The O was ridiculously high tempo and I loved watching it, still a few questions about Vicks decision making and reluctance to slide but overall I was happy. The D impressed me a lot, kendricks had a big game and looks a natural at his new position, great to have a beast in Jason Peters back, and Cary Williams was superb at CB!

If nothing else it's gonna be an exciting year to be an Eagle!

Leslie91

Is this the Eagles thread?

How u guys feeling about my Bolts coming to town? will your D be able to shut us down? does our D have no chance against the Chip Kelly O? what say yee?

I reckon it will be a tight one that SD can win.
