I have had a pretty great preseason - first Eagles Club Suite tickets and, yesterday, I was given a ticket to see the Giants-Cleveland preseason game. Great seats! 200 level. Good stuff......and the then the game started! The Giants defensive line played the entire game in the Cleveland backfield. Anyone who was thinking of taking Anderson or Lewis in Fantasy football - rethink it. I know the Giants line is very good, but the Cleveland o-line was a embarrassing! What was even more awful from an Eagles perspective is how good the Giants looked on special teams - kickoff returns, punt blocks, you name it, they did it! The Eagles special teams were "horrendous" - that is Andy Reid's own description - last year. I will say many of the personnel moves the Eagles made this off season were special teams specific so let's hope it is addressed. The Giants looked good on offense pounding the football with Jacobs, and throwing the ball deep. Of course, it is only preseason! The Eagles need to get off to a good start. The game one match up with the Rams is an early must win as the Cowboys are on the schedule for week 2.
The Tony Hunt fullback experiment will be interesting to watch when the Eagles play the Pats. Some other interesting personnel moves to watch include the defensive end position with Howard playing some left defensive end, the fifth corner spot is wide open, and the linebacker depth situation is interesting. The Eagles have some young players that are really pushing. I love Joe Mays at the Mike spot. He is from North Dakota State, he is undersized but tenacious. He has a nonstop motor. When the starters leave, watch this kid - he brings it.
