Blogged under The Pre-Season, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by admin on Friday 3 September 2010 at 12:47 am

The Eagles didn’t deserve to be this close last night as they sucked.  Michael Vick started at QB and he completed 3 of 5 passes for 56 yards.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc).  Mike Kafka looked overmatched against the Jets’ swarming D as he completed 9 of 27 passes for 76 yards with 1 INT.  J.J. Arrington led the way on the ground for the Eagles in this game with 8 carries for 23 yards (2.9 ypc).  TE Nate Lawrie led the way in the passing game for the Eagles last night with 3 receptions for 44 yards (14.7 avg).  The Eagles finished up with 72 yards rushing (3.6 ypc) and 112 passing yards last night as they only had possession of the ball for 22:29!

LB Moise Fokou was very effective in this game for the Eagles as he finished up with 10 tackles and 1 QB hit.  Rookie 7th round pick (S) Kurt Coleman was outstanding in this game as he had 5 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries.  Coleman returned a Joe McKnight fumble 64 yards for a TD and he also returned a John Conner fumble 8 yards for another TD.  The Jets finished up with 175 yards rushing (4.5 ypc) and 172 yards passing in this game.  The Eagles finish the pre-season with a 2-2 record.

The Philadelphia Eagles acquire Jorrick Calvin from the Cardinals

Blogged under Trades, Bloglockers, Front Page, Big Eagles News, General by admin on Wednesday 1 September 2010 at 5:22 pm

The Eagles have acquired rookie CB Jorrick Calvin from the Cardinals for rookie RB Charles Scott.  Calvin played in 3 pre-season games for the Cardinals in which he made 5 tackles.  Calvin is a small guy at 5′10″, 184 pounds and he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer.  He was academically inelgible last season.  He doesn’t have much of a track record as he only played one year in college.  He had 62 tackles, 1 forced fumble and 2 interceptions in 2008 for Troy.  He also returned 22 punts for 149 yards (6.8 avg) and 27 kickoff returns for 693 yards (25.7 avg) with 1 TD return in 2008.  Scott played in all 3 pre-season games for the Eagles and he carried the ball 1 time for 2 yards and he caught 1 pass for 0 yards.

Michael Vick has really stunk it up this pre-season for the Philadelphia Eagles

Blogged under The Pre-Season, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by admin on Saturday 28 August 2010 at 1:51 pm

30-year old QB Michael Vick is running the ball really well this pre-season as he has carried the ball 12 times for 100 yards (8.3 ypc) with 1 TD run.  But, QBs are paid to pass the football and Vick has been awful so far this pre-season at it.  He has completed 13 of 23 passes (56.5%) for 133 yards with 0 TD passes and 3 INTs (33.7 QB Rating) this pre-season.  Vick is in no danger of losing the #2 QB job as rookie Mike Kafka is nowhere near ready yet.  But he has to start showing that he can still throw the ball a little bit or the Eagles are going to be scared every single time that Kevin Kolb takes a hit in 2010.
