Eagles - Steelers game

[StingerNLG]

It's so vanilla. The Eagles aren't going to show any of their blitzes in some stupid preseason game.

They apparently aren't going to show any offense either.

It's nice to see a little back to Earth though for the "Dream Team". This isn't the New York Yankees. You can't just throw big names on the field and expect them to perform as a unit.

In the end, the Lee Evans acquisition makes me happier...but...

If you watch that Cotchery TD catch, THAT is why I said passing on him could come back to bite us. Tough catch, guy plays with miles and miles of heart. Granted, it'll be tough to get him on the field with Wallace, Ward, Brown...but he looks like he's healthy enough and should be solid depth if Sanders foot keeps bothering him.

Scariest thing about this is we wanted to blame our issues on our OL. Steelers OL is also bad, and they handled their junk without issue, and that's with TWO LTs going down IN GAME.

That we struggled SO MUCH against that same pass rush, means our OL is worse than shaky...it may be absolutely pitiful.

I'm concerned about the Oline but I'll panic if the Oline is a major problem on September 11th. I don't believe in preseason panic unless a major injury occurs. I also want to see how the Oline responds tomorrow night and the Steelers Oline didn't look that great against the Skins last week but they responded tonight. I'm willing to at least wait and see how the Ravens OLine responds tomorrow night, they still need veteran depth though regardless.

And that's the scary thing...with vanilla blitzes, our OL looked like SHIT! Imagine how we'd look against a regular season pass rush?

Personally I would laugh my head off if they put this paper champ together and Vick is the one who ends up crapping the bed. Preseason but still. He was doing the double pump stare at the receiver and throw a pick.

Good point. They couldn't even stop a four man rush.

Ben boo-hooing about his "injury" again

[StingerNLG]

I can usually stand Terry Bradshaw in the Fox pre-game, but my GOODNESS he is horrible in the booth.

They showed plenty of blitzes last week. This week they look lost

[Ngata Nother Suggs]

These picks aren't any great plays the Steelers are making. The Eagles are just throwing the ball right to them.

24-0.

As for the Steelers offensive line, they have the one quarterback that can withstand that issue. That is why they are not in a rush to upgrade their offensive line.

[Ngata Nother Suggs]

Even the Steelers scrubs aren't playing around tonight

[StingerNLG]

The Eagles gave up after it was 14-0. That is some horribly uninspiring football being played.

Does not bode well for week 1!!

I'll admit, I was being a little chicken little there...

Jah Reid is a rookie. He should get better each week he plays.
Oneil Cousins shouldn't be an OT. Maybe a G, we'll see.
