Down:
Stallworth
Cannon
Koppen
Mike Rivera
Sterling Moore
Hoyer
Up:
Branch
Ebner
Gostskowski
To my eyes, Moore has regressed.
Hes on my 53 for knocking out the Dog Killer.Cunningham is a definite riser.

Can they coach Ebner up to pay SS in the box? Chung's got a wonky shoulder and probably won't be 100% week 1.
Dowling had a pretty good game. He was consistently shutting down his reciever and was always around the ball. Good jams. The tackling could be improved of course
Overall, I thought the secondary play was pretty good across the board.
Cannon was bad. Penalties were bad. OL had numerous timing issues. Hoyer was jittery. Running game wasn't what you'd expect.
I think it might take this offense a few weeks of regular season games to really gel. They're really quite far from where you would want.

Neither QB shined, and Hoyer was clearly having communication issues with his receivers. On the other hand, Hoyer was smart enough not to toss that gift INT to the sidelines, and was the victim of drops just as Mallett was.
If I were keeping 2 QBs based upon tonight, Mallett would be on the trading block in the morning.
Up......Foles....QB.....Phil. Eagles
Best QB on the field last night....despite that horrendous hairdoo.
Hoyer....I have come to the conclusion that Hoyer possesses NO NFL starting QB skills. His two biggest assets are....he knows the play book and he takes reps in practice to save Brady's arm.
Mallet.....it's a shame the O line is such a shambles forcing McDaniels to work the screen game excessively. The play calling had the feel of the beginning of the Cassell starting season. I would like to see what Mallet could do in Green Bays offense with down field speed targets. The kid shows toughness and that big arm is a tease.....waiting for it to be unleashed. That big body seems to have an awful lot of moving parts though that aren't always in sync. The even lankier Foles looks more natural....Bradylike back in the early years
Overall....the O line has killed any chance for us to get a real feel for either of these two QBs. I do believe that if Mallet had a sturdy pocket, he has tremendous upside....but he needs a heavy dose of mechanics coaching
Mallett showed why he's only a QB3. If the Eagles hadn't bailed him out, we'd probably be calling for his head.
