Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

Lots of reports Parkey will make the roster too. So goodbye Alex.

Now the only starter gained from that disastrous '11 draft is Jason Kelce. The only other player left on the roster is Casey Matthews

Very disappointed we cut Josey. Will be outright furious if Barner makes it instead.

Strange draft, all duds except for a potential 6th round All Pro.

I still don't expect Parkey has made the roster yet - I reckon he still has to win at least one kick off against a guy who has been cut today.

Johnson is unlucky to be cut again, he was good this pre-season, and he's good on special teams. I thought Tucker was a little unlucky as well purely on account of some good things he did in pre-season... but realistically, we were never going to carry the extra back which is why Brown is no longer there and Tucker was getting those opportunities in the first place.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Don't like keeping Maehl. Don't really see what he offers at NFL level.

The cutting of Reynolds is just outright bizzare. We knew he was going to have a slow PS (not allowed at OTAs) when we drafted him! Waste of a pick.

Reynolds stashed on PS. Only chance he stayed in the 53 was if we kept 5 safeties, because the 4 were locked in essentially.

Maehl might be there due to Benn getting injured. He's a good blocker and good at ST, know the offence, etc.

So Josey doesn't even make the practice squad.

Amazing...

 

[Southerntakeover]

He's on the Jags PS.

 

[sblack]

This is a good 'article'. It's a full scouting report on mostly starters + key backups from a pro NFC scout (unnamed)

It's interesting to get an objective view at the team.

He's very high on Ertz above all others. And the offensive line as you'd expect ... Even calls Peters the best LT in the league hands down which is a great compliment.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Even if its a stretch to say Peters is prime atm. His season after the Achilles didn't come close to his season before.

 

[Zealbee]

He had a pretty good season though. Pro Bowl and first team all Pro.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Disgusting performance.

A team which got significantly worse, yet believed they were going to the Super Bowl.

 

[Zealbee]

Jesus Christ. Could today get any worse?

 

[sblack]

We have had a couple positives.

Defensive line has been good. Graham in particular has made a few plays. Run Defence has been good.

And ST has been immense.

 

[sblack]

Graham playing out of his skin

 

[Zealbee]

Nice second half. Will need to play better next week though. Offensive line injuries are a concern.

 

[sblack]

Take out the first qtr (2 plays really), we conceded 3 points. Obviously it was only the Jags, but still good signs.

Front seven was very active. Cox had like 7 tackles and the FRTD. Kendricks was everywhere. Barwin was his usual best. Graham was the big surprise. Amazing game. Thorton was good against the run like usual.

Jenkins was the clear highlight in the secondary, should've had a FF late. Nate Allen improved after that first terrible half where he let that easy TD.

ST were massive. Jones was perfect. Parkey was impressive. Bair had the blocked FG. Sproles was returning kicks like crazy.

Cary and Fletcher were terrible. Cary got beat twice by Hurns. Fletcher was always a step slow.

Significantly worse lol.

NFC championship game is a lock.

You're delusional

 

[sblack]

We also had 6 plays of 20+ yards. Right on the same average of last year (99 over 16 games)

 

[sblack]

Mathis will get an MRI tomorrow. Reports leaning to MCL which is a hell of a lot better than an ACL

 

[rumply]

Appalling first half but looked to be an aberration going by the much improved second. Sproles very good & along with McCoy is going to cause plenty of headaches for opp teams. Very happy with the result considering how things looked at half time, injuries to the OL the main concern going forward.

& an honorable mention must go to Parkey - first NFL field goal attempt from 51yards to tie the game - no pressure

 

[nobbyiscool]

What a strange game. I'm not even sure we can take all the credit for turning it around - the Jags offense completely went missing in the second half.

I don't think there were too many surprises. I know I was interested to see how they used McCoy and Sproles together - it turned out they didn't use them together much at all. Still, Sproles was a highlight, particularly from someone who doesn't have a long history of running it between the tackles.

Ertz is probably the other highlight.

Lowlights were definitely the crowd. And Matthis' injury. And Foles just being absolute rubbish.
