Mike's RAMBLINGS...
(Click to see Previous
Ramblings)
Updated August 15, 2008
Well after 2 Preseason Games and a 1-1 record, here are
a few things I noticed about the team so far...
OFFENSE: Dmac looks good and ready to play! Which is
good for all of us if he can stay healthy. Kevin Kolb
also looked better in this game than the previous one.
The RB crew including Westy, Buck, Booker and Hunt looks
like they could have a good year running behind the
aging offensive line as long as they do not get
depressed...Sorry, had to. We did not get that true #1
wideout in the offseason, but DeSean Jackson appears to
be ready to step in an make an immediate impact.
DEFENSE: The addition of Asante Samuel and the play of
Quinten Mikel I feel gives the birds one of the best
secondaries in the NFL this season. The linebacker play
has been pretty consistent so far and the attack of the
front four could use a little work, but that will come
with more playing time together. For the most part, this
is a young, fast defense and they will only be getting
better as Jim Johnson comes up with better schemes
for them to attack.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Booker has 3 dropped kickoffs so far in
two preseason games. Jackson had a fumble on a punt
return...Seems like they are no better than last year.
Actually, The catching of the kicks will come to Booker
with more practice and he gives us a speedy return guy
that could get us good field position along with Quinten
Demps. Jackson's punt return against Carolina was a good
one until he was hit from the side knocking the ball
loose, recovered by the Eagles. He has the potential to
break a few. Sav had some good punts against Carolina
but also threw the ball right to a Carolina player on a
fake FG attempt that he ran back for a TD! Akers missed
a 40+ yd FG attempt and outside 40 he cannot be counted
on like in the past.
OVERALL: If the chips fall into place, we could be in
for a very good season. There are still a few missing
pieces and the window is closing with some aging players
like Dawkins, Dmac and Runyun. We need something now!
Check back before the season starts to see where we are
at after all the preseason games.

If you have not already done
so, please sign up on the
Forums
so that we can get the Yahoo site shut down. We will try
to be more diligent about pictures this year as there
were some games we just did not really get any. If you
have any pictures and want to submit them to put in our
Gallery, email them to me at
admin@eaglesnestdallas.com or
just put them on CD and bring them with you down to AA
for one of the games. Or just email me if you have any
questions...
So, until the next update...
