Steelers 24-14 Eagles
I've never placed a great deal on pre-season games but with the formation of the 'dream-team' I think everyone is keen to see how the Eagles gel.
This wasn't a game played between 3rd string players, and it's interesting that Vick was picked off 3 times and went 5/12, VY was also picked off once in a 4 turnover performance.
Big Ben played 2 series and drove the Steelers to 2 TDs.
The form can't be taken literally but would this worry any Eagles fans ?

The limited time these guys get together in training camp could really show in the early part of the season.
The same goes for my Bucs. We got hammered by the Patriots last night and our offensive line totally caved.
There's gonna be a lot of penalties in the early part of the season.

Good call on pens, I think the Steelers were called for 9, Steelers O-line still has the same old problems allowing 3 sacks.
I'd be more worried about your D-line mate, giving up 200 yards on the ground to a non-running team would be a worry.

Vick looked just as bad a year in Cincy, I'm not worried in the slightest. I mean Rex Grossman took that defense apart a week ago, and nobody's crowning the Skins.

Re: Steelers 24-14 Eagles
GSC - I agree, but the record books will probably show Eagles to have played 3rd choice starters in those games, the fact so many starters played large chunks of the game tells me they're a few sessions short of being on the same page

Does still emphasize just how vanilla the Eagles keep their plans in preseason.

Re: Steelers 24-14 Eagles
Our OL was dominant last night, especially in the run game. Rookie Nate Solder looks much better than I expected him to be so early on, he’s got obvious flaws in his game when it comes to pass protection, plays too upright, gets off balance, over commits and gives up the angle inside but his run blocking is very good. Logan Mankins is top 5 at his position IMO and Sebastian Vollmer is a top 3 RT. Dan Koppen and Dan Connolly are both better than given credit for. Overall I expect them to have a good year.Grizzly wrote:I'd be more worried about your D-line mate, giving up 200 yards on the ground to a non-running team would be a worry.
Not sure why the TB OL was so bad, I’d like to think it was all down to us but I doubt it. Jeff Faine vs. Vince Wilfork without help is a mismatch. Andre Carter first abused Donald Penn then James Lee. One play in particular, where Penn got turned around and then tried to block Carter with his backside, made me lolz. Ted Larsen took a beating from the interior as well. I really like the potential of this defense if we can get Albert Haynesworth on the field as well. Him and Wilfork in the middle of a 4 man line with pressure coming off the ends in the shape of Carter and Jermaine Cunningham makes me .

Penn wasn't terrible but lee really was awful. Larsen got shredded too.
I really hope it was a blip. We're a better team than last night's performance showed.

Re: Steelers 24-14 Eagles
Normally I don't pay much attention to preseason -- I mean, historically, when the Cards have gone 4-0 in the preseason, we have been almost guaranteed to go 4-12 in the regular season. This year, with a truncated off-season, it's all up in the air. I think, rightly or wrongly, people are putting more emphasis on preseason and there are some legitimate concerns because teams have such a limited time to integrate their rookies and FAs and gel, and bad preseason performances will create a certain amount of uncertainty and angst amongst the faithful -- the real concern will be if there are recurring issues that continue to surface in the final 2 preseason games.
That being said -- Vick was awful, but I think he'll be fine.
I also think you should expect a lot of penalties in the early games of the season.

TB first possession-beaten on 3rd down by Carter-Freeman pass incomplete,
TB second possession-beaten by Carter who almost recorded a sack-Freeman pass incomplete,
TB third possession-beaten by Carter-attempts to block with backside- ,
and that's just what stood out when watching the game.
