Eagles Tape Review: Solid Outing From Cedric Thornton in Preseason Game 2

Found August 18, 2013 on Eagles Addict:
PLAYERS: Cedric Thornton
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Ever since the Eagles moved up in the 2012 NFL Draft to snag Fletcher Cox, he has been touted as the cornerstone that the defense will be built around. In a stellar rookie season where he recorded 5.5 sacks and a forced fumble, Cox did not disappoint. The only question is, “how good can he become?” Chip Kelly has said that he already sees him as one of the best interior defenders in the whole league, and he’s just getting started. In an offseason full of change, the defensive line was rebuilt from the ground up. Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson are gone, while Trent Cole and Brandon Graham are transitioning into 3-4 outside linebackers. Though the Eagles acquired 330 pound Isaac Sopoaga in free agency to man the middle, 2012 holdovers Fletcher Cox and Cedric Thornton are expected to fill out the line as the starting defensive ends. While Fletcher Cox will most likely be the greatest point of production along the defensive line in 2013, it will not be without the help of his teammat...

Watch LeSean McCoy make Panthers’ D look silly

Via Low Brow Sports  |  August 17, 2013
Here’s a nice little GIF (via @8bitSports) that shows just how tough it can be to track and bring down Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. In their Thursday win against the Carolina Panthers, McCoy managed to evade at least 5 defenders on this 21-yard run.

QB Michael Vick 'wouldn't be shocked' if he doesn't win QB competition

Via 60 Max Power O  |  August 18, 2013
Coming off his best performance in the preseason, quarterback Michael Vick still won't allow himself the luxury of relaxing. One can suspect that deep down inside the competitor wanted the QB situation settled way before now, but it says something about the 33-year-old Vick's maturity.

Vick takes bulk of first-team reps at Eagles practice

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 17, 2013
The Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback job is Michael Vick's to lose. Philly.com's Jimmy Kempski tweeted Saturday that the veteran passer took the lion's share of first-team reps in Saturday's practice with Nick Foles settling in with the second unit. As SiriusXM NFL Radio's Adam Caplan notes it's the first time we've seen such a clear distinction...

Michael Vick Remains Top Candidate For Starting QB Job

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  August 17, 2013
Eagles beat writer Jimmy Kempski reports that quarterback Michael Vick took almost all the first team reps on Saturday.Fantasy Spin:Vick is just the best fit for Chip Kelly's offense. On Thursday he was better at getting the ball downfield than Nick Foles or Matt Barkley and he's certainly better in the read option portion of the offense. It didn't hurt that Vick went...

Fan has a Philadelphia Eagles ‘Mrs. Tebow’ Tim Tebow jersey

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  August 17, 2013
Tim Tebow does not play for the Philadelphia Eagles. He never has and he probably never will, but you know how fans can be. Or should I say, you know how Tebowmaniacs can be. Tebowmania has quieted down a bit since his failed season with the New York Jets, but his dedicated fans remain as […]

I'm enjoying the prolonged honeymoon period of the Chip Kelly era far more than I thought I would. This little weekend lull after a Thursday night PS game is a good time to reflect on progress made so far. Maybe it's because the weather outside today is quite lovely in the Delaware Valley (apologies to our fans in Idaho right now, who are really up against it with huge...

Pre-Season Game 2: What Did We Learn?

Via Chicks in the Huddle  |  August 19, 2013
Eagles 14, Panthers 9, Thursday, August 15, 2013 We learned: The offense can put up points, regardless of who’s playing. Nick Foles starts every game with a #smh Keystone Kops type flub (Week 1: strip sack. Week 2: throwing a pick in the endzone. I shudder to think what will happen next week). Fortunately, he seems able to shake it off. The very mention of “special teams”...
