So I'm watching Chargers vs Seahawks in about 30 minutes and I've got the Ravens/Eagles on a stream. I figure this is a good place to discuss as any riiiiight?

Eagles rookie kicker nails the KO 8 yards deep on the Ravens. Great leg. Lets see Aso in green/white.

Ravens moving the ball with passes to the RB and TE. Eagles safety play isn't all that hot.

Having 3 CB's that are really good seems to work enough to give the Dline time to find the QB. The checkdown throws looked kinda wide open (Questions with Eagles LB corps) but big throws and runs looked like they went nowhere.

Cundiff good for a 53yarder. 3-0 Ravens.

All the kickers are booting the balls out of the endzone (I'm guessing due to the new kickoff placement?). Kinda takes out 1/2 of special teams. Mike Vick to the field.

I thought the Ravens played in the 34 more than they did the 43. They are doing lots of 43 looks on this first drive (not helping much, Vick is like 3 for 4.

E: Eagles have the ball on like the 2 with a fresh set of downs.

Philly with a TD (I wasn't watching). 7-3 Eagles up. They went up the field using the passing game both short and long, Ravens couldn't really stop it.

Joe Flacco likes passing to their TE Pitta (no. 88). He has soft hands so far, looks pretty good.

Eagles coverage is doing pretty good against Boldin and Some Guys. Dline gets a 3rd down sack for the Eagles.

Good to see. I liked him coming out of BYU. I would have wanted him if we hadn't already had 12335134123 TE on the roster.

After watching 2 series with the Ravens offense you can tell that the Eagles secondary is having a fairly easy time covering the outside guys, giving the Dline a lot of time.

Vince young comes in for the Eagles, they run the ball 5 straight times. Ringing endorsement there.

Charger defense looks really soft against the 'Hawks. THey can run and throw with impunity right now.

Chargers also have a great passing game, but it looks like the running game isn't all that. It seems all the games are having passing fiestas right now.

These new kickoff rules blow and I hope they are changed back before the regular season starts. Just putting that out there.

Chad Hall is a receiver for the Eagles, he was out there with the ones as well as the reserves.

He is 5'8" tall and weighs about a buck fifty. Has a couple of receptions too.

Apparently, J-Ville's O-line is playing very very terribly and is not doing any favors to Blaine Gabbert. Also, Matt Turk sucks at punting lol.

Pats 2 backup QBs looked good.

Don't like the look of Gabbert's motion.

What was it of Gabberts motion you didn't like? Most of the people who watched him thought he looked decent, but wilted in the face of a pass rush.

If they can't protect their rookie QB then why not have Matt Turk punting out of a 5 wide set on all 4 downs, might be the offensive revolution the NFL's been waiting for. :lol:

Matt Turk, at one point last night, had punted twice for 25 yards total.

Watching Jags/Pats game now. Will have thoughts on Blaine Gabbert.

EDIT: First drive, Gabbert looked fine, decent release decision making wasn't too terrible. The sack looked like sloppy footwork on his part. Overall I'd be happy with the pick so far.

Second drive, an "off" throw that either the receiver ran the wrong route or he threw it wrong. Good protection, ball was about 5 yards away from the receiver up high. So far the Jags receiving corps are only magnifying his errant throws cause they haven't done him any favors.


3rd drive he had a good throw and a sack where almost the whole O-line got beaten. little shaky here but still okay, doesn't look like the rest of the offense is doing much to make him look better than he is.

4th drive, another errant pass. Looks like the ball came out a lot faster than the receiver was expecting. meh.

Nate Solder looks amazing, he's sooo fast for a LT, on a sweep he out ran the RB though and it got him tackled too soon haha. My only knock so far is that he seems to end up on the ground more than I'd like
