Running Commentary On Eagles-Colts 1

 Eldra Buckley with another special teams play.  He was one of the first one down on the kickoff coverage.   If you're a backup this is what you have to do to make the team.

That was too easy.  Nobody made an adjustment on the first pass to tight end

That stretch play always kills the Eagles.  The stretch running play takes advantage of an offensive line's size advantage of the defense.  Joe Mays has to make that play.

Gocong beaten by Dallas Clark.

Good adjustment by Quintin Demps to take away that quick toss to the second tight end.

They've got to get up and challenge these receivers.  They're playing off of the wide receivers and giving up easy throws.

Asante Samuel needs to start catching the football.  He was dropping interceptions all training camp and wouldn't you know he would drop another one in the game.

I think you have to mix up the coverage out there at cornerback because Asante took himself out of the coverage.

That was a sloppy offensive drive.  Notice they're throwing the ball on 3rd and 1.5-2 yards.

What kind of tackling was that with by Ellis Hobbs?  He's got to wrap Brown up.

I think you have to disrupt Manning and his receivers by jamming them off the line of scrimmage more often.  Playing off of them allows all of those timing routes.

Nice pass rush by Jason Babin and Mike Patterson on Peyton Manning.  You see Peyton isn't interested in getting hurt.

Eagles with the ball – LeSean McCoy has to make that catch.  Obviously the kid is a little nervous.

The middle of the offensive line isn't getting any push.

Donovan has to put two hands on that football when he feels the pressure.  he can try to get away but he must secure the football.  That fumble cost them at least three points.

I didn't think King Dunlap could handle Dwight Freeney and I was right.

I don't know who blew the play on the long touchdown to Reggie Wayne.  It was either Quintin Demps who should have been over the top or Ellis Hobbs who should have been responsible for the deep ball.

Nick Cole has to learn that you can't afford to be getting penalties when you're trying to move the football. 

That was a nice throw by Donovan and nice route and catch by DeSean Jackson. That's what we've seen out of them all training camp.
