Re: 1st preseason game

That would be Luke McNown. But otherwise, agreed.

The DBs are the weak spot on this team - so the D had better get some
front 7 pressure. Would have been nice to see better red zone
execution, but otherwise the first string O and D looked very good.

Well it is nice to get back to football after a long offseason. Several
players were quite noticeable - others were unnoticeable, too. Michael Vick
is probably the most improved player compared with 2009, 5th rounder Riley
Cooper was the biggest surprise of the draft picks, Austin Howard is the
rookie free agent most likely to make the team, and Chad Hall will probably
make the team as a utility player.

I see why the coaches say that Brandon Graham has a high motor and he seemed
to get a lot of snaps. Other rookies that made some plays included Trevard
Lindley, Jeff Owens and Kurt Coleman. Charlie Casserly raved about Mike
Kafka, and I think he looked pretty good for his first live action. Hugh
Douglas highlighted several "pancakes" made by Howard, including the key
block on Vick's TD scramble.

After watching this game it makes me rethink the bubble players. Obviously
it is crowded at WR and RB and some decent skill players are going to be
released. DE might not be as crowded as originally believed, and the
reserve DBs are awful, especially Joselio Hanson who finds himself
dangerously on the bubble bearing an above-market contract in an uncapped
year.

As for Jacksonville, unless Josh McNown becomes the starter, that should be
an easy regular season game in week #3. Other than McNown, I didn't notice
too many strengths on that team, and far too many weaknesses for the Eagles
not to exploit.
