We take a break tonight from all Phillies, all the time, to turn our attention on the Eagles as they take on the New England Patriots for their first pre-season game. How much will be learn tonight?
Not much with all the injuries on the offensive line, but of course we will have a chance to see if rookies Shady McCoy, and Jeremy Maclin are as good as advertised, at running back and receiver respectively. I’m also looking to see what fullback Jed Weaver brings to the table. Comcast sports analyst Ray Didinger has predicted a major contribution from Weaver.
On the defensive side, all eyes will be on Joe Mays as he tries to replace Stewart Bradley, lost for the season to an ACL tear.
I’ll be back after the game with my thoughts.
Go Eagles!
