I'm watching the eagles game.

FOLES: Looked solid, looks uncomfortable running with the ball, 2nd week in a row where he's mostly doing dink & dunk. The problem I have with foles running this particular zone option read is defensive cordinators know he is not capable of running a 50 yrd run so If he was the starter chip couldnt fool anyone with it & the defense would blitz/press cover.

VICK: Looked comfortable running & his passes were sharp & accurate. The narrative that I see a lot of foles fans using is "the eagles are rebuilding" "if foles is capable of running the O, go with the younger guy". The problem is chip kelly's ego is huge & he wants to win now, try selling "rebuilding" to season ticket holders, especially passionate eagle fans. Anything can happen in the east.

With that being said, I think vick will be the starter, but he even got a little banged up on a run tonight. Foles will get playing time this year, vick wont slide & is always one hit away from being taken out...

No team in the NFL is rebuilding. This isn't the NBA. The bottomline is if you don't want Vick, you will find an excuse.

:leon: Kyle Long been really good so far, I thought he injured a defender when he threw him to the ground. I thought he was a reach, but so far it looks like a good pick.
