What are you looking for in tonight's game?
1. I'm watching the DL to see if there's been an improvement. The Eagles toasted our DL in the SB and I want to see if Shelton, Adrian Clayborn, Rivers, Hightower can make a difference. Bentley played well last week; can he continue to?
2. I want to see Brady's rapport with the receivers. As well as Dorsett and Patterson have done in practice I'm hearing neither is in his circle of trust yet. Decker is of particular interest. Mike thinks TB plays almost all of the first half.
3. Trent Brown. I want to see him dominate.
4. Ralph Webb has a big opportunity again to perform well.
Those are the players I want to focus on even though I'm not expecting the Pats to win - the Eagles sound really amped up and have something to prove even tho it's just pre season.
Brady used to say he couldn't out throw Randy Moss; Patterson is another guy like that. Patterson blew past his defender & Hoyer under threw the ball by 5 yds on what would have been a beautiful TD play.
* Preseason superstars are a dime a dozen, but Bentley looks like the real deal. No question about it. He would appear to be our best LB and I mean now. How is this guy supposed to be slow? Does he play slow to anybody?
No he does not look slow and preseason superstars are a dime a dozen but this kid has my attention.
Couple things:
* As good as James White has been the last two years, he looks even BETTER. Quicker, faster and stronger. The screen for a TD he just found daylight and disappeared.
* I couldn't make out what Brady was screaming at the offense, but it highlighted why he is the GOAT and not just one of the boys. He went OFF.
* Preseason superstars are a dime a dozen, but Bentley looks like the real deal. No question about it. He would appear to be our best LB and I mean now. How is this guy supposed to be slow? Does he play slow to anybody?
* Patterson. I want to believe my lyin' eyes which are telling me that he's going to catch a lot more than 30 passes this season. Looks like Chevs was right and I was wrong about him. Please let it be real.
* The pass rush was obviously way better and a lot of guys contributed to that, but Derek Rivers is the guy that I noticed the most. He's got no size, but is unusually strong and has advanced hand usage. He closes the deal fast, too. We've got something in him.
* If there is any truth that a unit takes on something of their coach's personality then it appears possible that Brian Flores is the right guy to turn the intensity of our D up a few notches. By comparison, Matty P usually looked like a guy trying to remember what his wife told him she needed at Stop and Shop.
* He didn't play against anybody, but once again I was impressed by Matt Tobin who played LT in the second half and showed fine movement skills and decent power. He looks a lot better than I expected, but I don't know if there is room for him. Maybe he'll make it as our swing guy, but I'd feel better about his chances if he could handle the backup center job. I'll be watching for somebody besides James Ferentz to step in over the next two games because I don't know if he can add value at another slot. I'm seeing a numbers crunch on the OL, which is a nice problem to have.
* I hate getting fired up this early, but, barring serious injuries changing the mix I'm not seeing any drop-off in this team whatsoever. The opposite, if anything.
Wait, eagles fans are "miserable" over a preseason record?
Was that supposed to be serious?
Any thoughts on Goddert from the Eagles.
Was hoping for him over Michel in the draft. Figured with Gronks tempestuous status and the lack of depth at TE it’d be a more prominent position for replacement than RB.
