David Gettis is really showing why he deserves a chance. He's just making plays again and again. Would love to see what he can do playing with starters.

 

Colin Cole has a very broad foundation. When he stands up, he reminds me of a pair of parentheses (). He can move well for a big guy though.

 

Eagles DL looks more disciplined than last season. Back when we played on MNF, they looked like they'd been coached by Leeroy Jenkins.

 

Anderson Russell gets his name mentioned again.  This kid wants to get noticed.

 

Armond Smith and Tauren Poole both run without fear.

 

Louis Nzegwu got thrown to the ground by Eagles rookie tackle Michael Bamiro, but came back later and got a good hit on Dennis Dixon. He looked good last week. Might be a good PS candidate.

 

Barner signalled fair catch on the punt fumble but one of his own ran into him. Anderson Russell on the spot though.

 

Richie Brockel is a guy I like but I don't know if there's a roster spot for him. Could come down to a choice between him and Brandon Williams. I'm not convinced you could safely stash Williams on the practice squad.

 

Speaking of Williams, he had an up and down game.

 

As cute as some of these AT&T kids are, I'm starting to tire of them.

 

I'm glad Garrett Chisholm isn't blocking for Cam Newton.

 

First looks at D J Moore and Robert Lester. Both may have a bit of an uphill climb.

 

Anderson, while better than last week, still wasn't all that great. Fair number of off throws still. David Gettis saved him from a sure pick.

 

Kenjon Barner came back to earth a bit. Still like him, but I'm not ready to move him up the depth chart just yet.

 

Everette Brown sacks Jimmy Clausen. Somewhere, Marty Hurney doesn't know whether to smile or frown.

 

I like A J Klein.

  

Nice tackle by Wes Horton too.

 

Clausen missing Bersin wide. The Blonde Connection is off tonight.

 

I always laugh when refs use the phrase "non-football act".

 

The Eagle cheerleaders make me think about things other than football too.

 

All over. I suppose the bottom line is that if you're gonna lay an egg, do it in preseason :unsure:

Yeah, I agree but, I'm higher on him at WR hurt than I am on Ginn. Hopefully, Hixon plays next game and we'll get to see what has to offer.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Ginn do some returning.

 

As far as receiving, Ginn is better suited to work with a QB like Newton than one like Anderson.  You just let Newton throw a rocket and watch Ginn run under it.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
