1. Shaun Rogers. I thought he looked amazing. Consistently moving the line into the backfield and getting pressure. In fact, all if the beef in the middle stood out, Patterson too. The DT position seems to be much improved this season.
2. Torain. He didn't do a ton, but he runs hard and I think he can fill browns role early in the season.
3. Painter. I think he's passed Carr.
4. Donnell. Big body, can block a bit, I think he'll have a nice role on this team.
5. Tebow. Lol
For the very first time I really feel empathy for Tebow..He really is a terrible QB
Donnell did ok but after all the talk would have liked to have seen more from Robinson
Cox looked good on specials but on O he has to learn to go North-south instead of bumping it to the outside on runs rather a one yd gain than a 4 yd loss.
Pugh looks like a 1st round pick. Lets see how he does when the real bullets fly.
Brewer at guard yes at Left tackle no. Would he be any better at RT and by default is Pugh our backup LT?
Brewer at guard, although he did better at tackle in the second half. But it's nice to see that he can contribute.
Pugh also played well.
Rogers and Patterson. What amazes me about Rogers is how much hustle he has in chasing down plays. I'd keep both.
Trattau, but I think he's still a cut. I would take him over Tracy, Ojomo, and Broha if there is a roster spot available.
James, despite his muff. McBride as well.
It'd be nice to keep Donnell. I'd like for him to continue to work with Pope. He looks like he can develop into a nice all around TE.
Pugh has great feet and his technique looks pretty solid for a rookie. Now make him stronger.
and #72 Pugh looked just fine at RT
to me
Yes, it is possible for someone to be good at one position if his only position, but bad at the same position if it is just one of four he is playing.
Due to Jenkins being able to play DE, I keep all 6, especially with JPP coming back and Moore banged up.
Looking at the DE, Tracy has really underwhelmed after being talked up all camp. Trattou has looked the more consistent player. Ojomo to me is player who does nothing for the majority of plays, gets a sack and gets all the credit, while Trattou does more on almost every play.
Brewer looks really good on the inside and really played much better LT as things wore on. However, he really is not a LT. Pugh has LT footwork - he really seems to be in excellent position most plays
I think Pattersen is the odd man out, despite how good he has looked. He and Rogers are very similar, big bodied guys there to stuff the run and get to the QB. I don't think they cut ties w/ Austin just yet.
I don't think they keep more than 9 DL, so that leaves Moore, Tuck, Jpp and Kiwi at DE, Hankins, Alford, Austin, Rogers and Jenkins at DT.
I thought Herzlich played another nice game, not only on defense but he is always right there for Special teams. Is he a starter? Not right now, but i think he is more of a solid back-up than people give him credit for, especially given that most opinions were formed after the 1st pre-season game (when he played awful). It's his third year, and his first two were riddled w/ injury. I think he will get more snaps than people expect him to and continue to improve.
Pugh looks tough. He dominated third string guys which is good to see. I don't think he'll dominate that way in real games, but you see the potential.
The communication on O-Line seemed greatly improved.
Man, Eli & Randle are just not in sync. I expect big things from him, but they just aren't connecting.
Nicks looked great. beating his man a number of times and always has the great hands.
Myers looked good. he knows how to get open. The 2 offsides were bad, but I think he didn't get Nassib's cadence. I'd be more concerned if he did it while ELi was in there.
Too many injuries right now. 6 Starters have been injured so far in PS games. We need to get healthy and stay that way. Can't afford to lose too many guys.
10 DL MAKE THE ROSTER
TUCK DE
JPP DE
KIWI DE
MOORE DE
JENKINS DT/DE
JOSEPH DT
HANKINS DT
AUSTIN DT
RODGERS DT
PATTERSON DT
Not too impressed with Hankins. None of the backup QB's look good to me, they are all weak, Painter looks like such a hick. Meyers has got to get his head together, 2 false starts! Looked good on a few checkdown 1st down passes though.
Cutting Patterson is not an option after he crushed & crashed the pocket play after play. Where has this guy been hiding when the Eagles had him?
I wonder if our Defensive scheme has our guys playing slow. Too many times (especially the LBs) seem to be standing flat footed looking to diagnose the play before moving. It leaves them constantly catching RBs after they have a head of steam and already crossed the the LOS or getting blocked as the OG's are already up on the second level.
on a side note, my head will explode if we keep giving up soft edges like last year. How teams consistently get 4–5 yards on wide runs on us is infuriating.
Since then the Eagles don't know what they're doing on defense.
