Vick And Eagles Offense Must Stay Away From Turnovers

The only thing that can beat the Eagles this week is turnovers and unfortunately they have started to become a turnover-prone team. Turnovers always play an important role in a game, but it will especially true with the Birds offense going against a very good Niners defense.

Quarterback Michael Vick needs to know that the Niners have an inept offense, which is going to have major problems trying to drive the length of the field against the Birds. The only way they can put a good number of points on the board will be because the San Francisco defense has been able to shorten the field for them.

Vick has got to think ball security when he’s carrying the football and he must put staying away from turnovers at the top of his mind when deciding where to throw the football. I know the Birds want to get their high octane passing game going with throws downfield to DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, but these throws can’t be forced. The Niners defense knows what the Birds want to do.

Running the football isn’t going to be an easy thing to do against Niners Pro Bowl middle linebacker Patrick Willis and the Niners defensive front. Still they need to keep them honest with a run threat. LeSean McCoy and his ability to create something out of nothing could give the 49ers some trouble on draws and screens where he’s able to make somebody miss.

Another key for the Eagles offense will be getting into the end zone when they get inside the red zone. They can’t afford to kick nothing but field goals and let the NIners hopes of winning this game stay high. Vick and company must put the dagger in San Francisco when they get the opportunity. Each possession and each chance they get to put points on the board will be vital.

It must really bother people that Coach Andy makes what, 4 or 5 million a year. Has total job security, will be the coach pretty much as long as he wants to be. Been here over a decade, probably going to be in the FO when he stops coaching. Has got so much money his kids did minimal time for issues that would have been far worse for somebody who doesn’t have the pocket to pay for the best attorneys and treatments. On top of all that, there is nothing the fans can do about it, not a single thing. He is here, he is staying, and if you do not like that, well, suck it, because that is how it is. You have no voice whatsoever in the matter. Oddly, for so many that hate him, the big Mormon owns you. Must be frustrating.

Anderson,
A person like you is a real chump-loser. Just be a man and have the nuts to say what you have to say directly to or about the person you have to say it to. I’m disrespectfully saying this to you directly idiot. You can tell you had your ass kicked up and down the halls or neighborhood you come from. First of all nobody cares about another mans money, family, job or whatever “leave it to beaver” picture is painted to an idiot suck up like you. I’m talking about his terrible 4th and goal coaching calls, his clock management and overall coaching for the last 11 years. I wouldn’t wish to have another mans life but my own. To even say that a Mormon owns me when the only one that owns me is the only one that owns you, andy me and every other being of his creation. Stop disrespecting God and have respect for your only one creator you idiot. You’re just a common puppet follower of whatever media laced picture is put in front of you. Get out your mamas basement and go to school and learn something about the world. Get an MBA or be in medical school and love your eagles while never having a silver spoon in your mouth – working hard from the ground up; never having anything given to you except faith in God and the struggles of your community, then tell someone about a measley 4-5 million dollars when there are billionnaires the world over. You think to small for hard working achievers; think big money like Carlos Slim Helu, Mukesh Ambani, and Stefan Persson (you have to read and learn to know about those people “anderson the ass”), and Do something big and expand your thinking and maybe you would think before posting assinine statements Pussy. You live life for a 9-5 and the weekends (if you even have a job), and I believe in working for myself by owning my own medical sales company Gd-willing when I’m done with school. Get out of Andy’s Oh yeah FIRE REID IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Castillo discuss fundamentals and how it’s coming together.

Someone needs to tell that loser he is not coaching high school.

If professional players haven’t learned the fundamentals by now, why in the hell are they in the pros?

Vick and Andy should just go back to the way he played in Atlanta
Pocket QBing ain’t hacking it for him
He gets injured in the pocket anyway so ride him the old way for as long as it lasts

Yeah if Vick wants success and a SB with us, the hell with AR and his pocket passing crap. if Vick was able to do his thing last week he would of ran it in on 1st and goal instead of all those inept AR plays. it’s time for MV7 to do his thing his way and get the ball to our supastars or run it in for TDs. reids way is getting Vick killed week in and week out with our pathetic o-line. it’s time for the ATL Vick to stand up and bring us a SB. What does it matter, he has already cashed on 40+ million up front. Come on and let the dogs loose Big Vick (no pun intended) and do ya thang and bring the lombardi home to philly baby. it’s MV7 time. WE STILL NEED TO VIRE REID PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Brian Baldinger put it. He watched film from last year and this year and DJax could catch 100 balls if they would move him around in the formation and let him work the mioddle like Welker. Marty is hell bent on running Jackson on 40 yard patterns all day long.

that td is exactly why VIck must shut up about not getting calls when hit. if he going to duck under guys and make plays, then have to expect that dl are going to make sure they try to finish off every play with big hit.

can;t have it both ways.

McCoy rushes for 128 yards last week and his punishment is 2 rushing attempts this week. McCoy has been your best player all year so what do you do Marty. You say I will teach him a lesson and I wont run him. Marty is so clueless.

I’ll tell you what, it’s clear that even with not much run plays, McCoy’s success this year is already leading to consistent success with play action. Even on the plays where they don’t complete it, play action has effectively given Vick ample time to make a good throw. Definitely a step in the right direction.
