Second Half Observations

[Mr. Scot]

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:

GETTIS >>>> LaFell >>>>> AE

[carolina-chuck]

We'd be DUMB to cut Gettis

[jtnc]

Yea, definitely rather Gettis over AE.

[Khaki Lackey]

My complete game observation : any eligible iggle receiver was open. Always.

[PantherPhann89]

I think that our WR's will fair well this season. I see: Smith, LaFell, Gettis, Edwards/Hixon & Ginn.

Not enough pressure.

 

But worth noting that Dwan Edwards wasn't out there.  Sione Fua  was.  And Kawann Short played more in the second half than the first.

Kinda hard to justify Hixon sticking unless you put him on PUP.

[KillerKat]

I tried looking for Anderson Russell on D, but only saw him for 1 or 2 series, 'cause Nakamura got a bulk of the 2nd team plays, then Colin Jones came in to finish the game.

[carolina-chuck]

Kinda hard to justify Hixon sticking unless you put him on PUP.

Think he's gone especially now with Gettis making people eat crows.

[PantherPhann89]

Kinda hard to justify Hixon sticking unless you put him on PUP.

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.

[Mr. Scot]

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.

 

[Panthro]

it's eat crow not crows

[panther4life]

Nate Chandler looked good again at backup LT... Quite remarkable for a practice squad DT from a year ago.
