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

nerd69

And another one bites the dust benn gone for the season

aha_sender

Wow what we do at receiver now

nerd69

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 ?

Just a decent showing something we can build off not to pushed about a win

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

nerd69

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

nerd69

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
