He clearly throws it behind the line of scrimmage.Ĭadillac muffs it and dejected, walks away. Sam Bradford passes it to Williams from here: So Steven Jackson missed this game with injury, which meant Cadillac Williams got the start. Then on the next punt, Greg Salas muffs it. This is the Rams versus the Super Bowl Giants in case you forgot. Sam Bradford completes his longest pass of the year, a 70-yarder to Danario Alexander. Then gets wide open, Eli Manning underthrows him and it's intercepted. Manningham makes the first catch of the game on a low Eli pass. A really solid player and I see no reason why Atlanta would ever let him go.įree Agent Focus - Mario Manningham, WR, NYG The 2008 2nd round pick gets to the ball quickly, is good in coverage, and once he makes contact, the runner wouldn't get another half-yard. Lofton: The middle linebacker can best be described as "active." It seems like there are two of him. He had one really beautiful, accurate deep pass to Maclin, and then Maclin dropped a first down catch on 4th and 3. I mean, he was only asked to drive the Eagles 90 yards in three minutes and he almost did. Also, Michael Vick is out and Mike Kafka is in, which doesn't help the Eagles either.įor his NFL debut, Kafka didn't do too bad. I can't say that the Eagles defense had a bad game, but just this one terrible mistake. So the Eagles shut down Michael Turner for 3 and a half quarters, and he just broke a 68-yard run with the Falcons down by three points. The Philadelphia punter is Chas Henry and the Philadelphia kicker is Alex Henery. Okay, so the Atlanta punter is Matt Bosher and the Atlanta kicker is Matt Bryant. Matt Bosher punts from his own end zone and gets it to the 20. McCoy is just so very, very good and hard to stop. LeSean McCoy scores and its 24-21 Eagles. A few plays later, Tony Gonzalez scores (and looks very "classic" Tony) and its 14-10 ATL instead of 17-7 PHI.Įarly 2nd half and Vick throws a pick. He forced the easy fumble and Ray Edwards returns it to the Philly 24. This is how unguarded he is to Michael Vick: Peria Jerry (Not Jerry Peria) goes unblocked as the guard pulls and nobody at all picks up Jerry. Game turns with 2:09 left in the 2nd quarter and the Eagles up 10-7 on the Atlanta 4. This is only part of the reason I prefer Maclin to Jackson. No interesting story-lines here! Free Agent Focus: Curtis Lofton, MLB, ATLĭeSean Jackson drops a TD and Jeremy Maclin makes a TD catch two plays later. I watched some good games this week, Kevin Walter makes perhaps the craziest play of the year, and a game of Boley-Bradford-Ball-Face. Perhaps watching on the iPad will help? We'll see. I won an iPad on Thursday, and I've been chronicling my dramatic loss of 150 pounds on my website (if you're interested in that sort of thing.)īut if I want to accomplish this goal of watching all 256 games, I'll have to step up the pace. But hey, it was a start.Only eight games watched this week? That's unacceptable. Brady didn’t see action until the fourth quarter, completing three of four passes for 28 yards in mop-up duty. The Patriots scored 20 points in their shutout of Steve Mariucci’s team. The name of the game is winning, and when you are out there as a quarterback, you want your team to score points.” You know, I don’t care if we run the ball 15 times in a row, as long as we score touchdowns, that’s fine with me. “I’d like to, make the good reads, to always be going to the right place with the ball. Coach always says you get better, or you get worse, and hopefully as a quarterback, you get better every day. “You’ve got to go out there and get the repetitions, and learn from your mistakes, and each day, get better - or else. “Then, Mike is going to go in and do well, and then, I am going to follow that up and play as well as I possibly can.”īrady’s head was still spinning a bit with the rigors of the NFL, but he knew what he had to do. “I know that Drew is likely going to start the game, and he’s going to go out there and do well,” Brady said. Michael Bishop - s seventh-round pick in 1999 - was also in the quarterback rotation, and as a similarly low draft pick, Brady had his work cut out for him. The day before the game, Brady spoke with Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globeabout his first NFL opportunity, backing up starter Drew Bledsoe. Belichick’s first look at his new team in a competitive situation came in the 2000 Hall of Fame game on July 31, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio, against the San Francisco 49ers.
