GO EAGLES!!!


Realizing that thanks to DirecTV, I'm going to see every Eagles' game for the first time in 7 years has me really excited :)

[JeeberD]

Thomas Howard with the tackle!!!

[JeeberD]

Uhh...Baskett played for UNM, not NMSU, Al. Give him a little credit, at least...

[JeeberD]

Double dola-

Westbrook looked damn good that drive...

[Eaglesfan27]

I know it's preseason and it's against the Raiders, but the defense and offense both looked very impressive so far. I hope Andy keeps running the ball when the actual regular season starts. McNabb looked crisp with his throws too.

did the refs steal their uniforms off the set of the movie Rollerball?

[Fouts]

Ah found it on NBC. Thanks.

[ice4277]

Well, this is definitely the first game of the year. Boring and ugly.

[Celeval]

Yeah, definately unsure on the new ref uniforms.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well, this is definitely the first game of the year. Boring and ugly.

Well, the 1st team was out by the middle of the 1st quarter. It was pretty and exciting on the first drive. :)

[JeeberD]

Timmy Chang.

LOL...

[SirFozzie]

Interesting, they turned Friday Night Lights into a TV series?

Jeeber,
Any word on whether WR Sam Hurd is going to make the team? Last I heard the undrafted rookie was leaving a pretty good impresion with Parcells. Heck, Owens supposedly has taken the guy under his wing (don't know if that's a good thing.)

[JeeberD]

I haven't heard anything in particular, but here's something about him from an article posted yesterday on DallasCowboys.com...

Owens, who has not practiced since Thursday morning, hasn't been a stranger to the field, especially after practice. Owens has worked with wide receiver Sam Hurd, an undrafted rookie from Northern Illinois, at the end of each practice the last three days.

"He's really helping me out," Hurd said. "It's good to learn from the best. But he's teaching me how to be deceptive out there and not give away when the ball is coming, and things like that. But anytime you get some advice from a player like that, you have to take it, especially if you're a rookie like me."

But Hurd didn't exactly play like a rookie Saturday, making several nice plays while working with the second- and third-team offense. Unofficially, Hurd caught five passes for about 95 yards, including a one-handed snag for 31 yards that set up a touchdown run by Marion Barber.

"I think Sam is doing great out there," Owens said after the scrimmage. "You can tell he has some potential. He catches the ball well. We're just working on a few things. But I think he's doing very well."

While Hurd stood out more than any other receiver, third-year veteran Patrick Crayton made a few nice grabs while working with the first-team offense in Owens' absence. First-teamer Terry Glenn only played one offensive series, giving way to Terrance Copper for the rest of the scrimmage.

Thanks!

Love to see how my fellow Huskie alumni fare, I may actually start rooting for the Cowboys every now and then.

.... Or maybe just him

[tucker rocky]

Can NBC's mic's be any bigger?

Dick Enberg isn't coming back right?

Don't want to hear, "Oh my's" in my sleep.

[bhlloy]

That sucks... hate to see a guy stay down like that.

I know it's only preseason, but the Raiders first team offensive line looked horrible. Gallery and Grove, considering they were both high draft picks, just got bitchslapped around out there. Westbrook and the Eagles line looked very impressive. Also a big shout out to William Buchanon - couldn't even get on the field at USC, but he's looked by far the best Raiders reciever out there. Would be awesome to see him get a shot.

[Karlifornia]

I always used to be pretty confident that a guy who gets carted off on a stretcher would be fien, but then I went to the Stanford/Washington game when UW defensive back Curtis Williams went down forever. Now it makes me feel really naseous.

[miami_fan]

I think it might be time for Jeff Garcia to hang it up. He looked very scared out there last night.

[Blade6119]

How was Andrew Walter?

[ice4277]

I think it might be time for Jeff Garcia to hang it up. He looked very scared out there last night.

He should have hung it up before last year. Brutal, absolutely brutal, with the Lions. I am shocked another team gave him a chance.

[biological warrior]

Timmy Chang....now thats a name I havent heard in ages.

[rkmsuf]

oof that raider team is going to have a long year
