Mornhinweg: "not much good there" against Cincinnati

Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg had this to say about his offense's performance Friday against Cincinnati:
"Last week, there was not much good there."
Ouch. Tough assessment this morning of an offense that has not scored a touchdown in three quarters of preseason play, though Mornhinweg pointed out that they did, in fact, get into the end zone Friday, only to see the score called back by a penalty. The Eagles got into the red zone once against the Bengals and down to the 22-yard-line on another drive, settling for field goals both times. But they had a turnover -- a Jeremy Maclin fumble -- while in field goal range on another drive, found little running room, and Kevin Kolb was often pressured.
Mornhinweg did not single out any particular area for concern, even when asked specifically about the offensive line's evident troubles against the Bengals' defense.
"There was no position really that played at a high level, and that's what I was disappointed in," Mornhinweg told reporters. "
He added that the team does not show much of its offense in the preseason.
Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott had a more sunny outlook on his unit's performance. Prompted by reporters' questions, he praised Trent Cole, Dimitri Patterson
Ok lets look at the facts...0 superbowls in 10 or so years.8 playoff appearances in 11 years.1 superbowl appearance and what 4 or 5 conference championships...3RD Best record overall behind the Colts and the Pats in the last 10 years.Ultimately the goal is to win the SB..But preseason and offensive line,Vick and all this other garbage that people are talking about...I side with the real fans and I will love this team wether Andy os here, or T.O. ot Mcnabb or Dawk...or anyone else for that matter... If you dont like it go root for the Giants or the Cowboys or Redskins or whomever you choose is worthy...— Jerryiz- Well this fun isn't it? Bill20- let's try to focus on the team, not Vick. The morality of dogfighting and talking football are two different conversations for two different times and two different places. This place is for football. Try to stay focused. But if you can't I'll sell you some adderral for $20 a hit. Anyway, we're all drama addicts, like it or not. But relax people, it's preseason. The birds are gonna be a good team. The unknowns make this year that much more exciting-so enjoy the ride. Remember the Niners dynasty? They were 0-4 in preseason play at least twice during that span. Preseason is all about two things-giving the rookies a taste, and more importantly, your poker face. You know what a perfect preseason is? No injuries. And for once, we're at the top of the power rankings in that category.— Mcapple
