You know it never occurred to me that Vick would end up with the Eagles but I guess it makes too much sense. For a 2 year deal I think the Eagles got a good deal here, people are going to moan and whine but if the man start to make the say "WOW!!!" and "YESS!!!!" during games here and there people will forget that he has a bad history.
As for last nights game: Seems like the Patriots had a hell of a draft last year.
Rookie Strong Safety Patrick Chung is a flat out BEAST, the man was tied for tackles last night and even had a blocked FG and is athletic! Rookie WR Julian Edelman is freaking Wes Welker version 2.0, he caught everything, has good acceleration, great instincts and hustles! I can't wait until we have both Welker and Edelman in the slot with Moss at the Z and Galloway on the X flanks, its going to be a nightmare to defend. As for Brady, he looked great, although you could see he was still rusty, that deep boom to that Sheldon intercepted was a horrible pass and Moss didn't attempt to break it up.
We almost exclusibly went with the 4-3 look, I guess that had more to do with the fact that we had just acquired Burgess but I must admit rookie DE Pryor looked exceptional and Wilfork was tearing up that interior line as usual. WTF happened with Jason Peters? That man is so overrated, one good season and than the Eagles give up so much for him? He was beat by Tully Banta-Cain of all people. Other than that the game was a lot more exciting than I had hoped for.
On a side note Brady is going to start tonight against the Eagles (man those boys are sure getting hammered by injuries). Given our recent history in the preseason I say we are provably going to lose by like 2 scores.
