I think they will have a hard time of it because they need to improve in their pass protection schemes. You have to remember Michael Vick is a tremendous weapon and opposing teams have a huge incentive to hit him early in the game to disrupt the game plan or just to get him out of there. I'm not convinced the weaknesses I saw during the preseason are not showing up again with defenses that have heavier and more agile defensive linemen.

They show videos because nobody from the Inquirer or DN can actually write an intelligent column. Bill Lyons is gone...

Dallas Reynolds has a big ole gut. He played extremely well. How will D Bell play is my real question? Kelce was an accidental victim, but that happens to all teams. The O-Line honestly and I'm sorry to say this, couldn't get much worse. They haven't protected Vick all that well. Half the time he has had the ball for a split second before getting pressured. They have played well at times, but they should 'at times'. Time to utilize some fullback/tight end blocking schemes. Keep the fullback/tight end in to block and then have Vick run it. Vick should run more, and just pick 5-6 yards at a time. It makes 2nd down so much easier, and in return makes 3rd down easier. I just hope Henry and Henery are ready to play big boy football and be productive. I'm also shaky on our wide receiver situation.

The Ravens showed they are one of the dirtiest playing teams in the league Sunday. The Eagles have to retaliate when teams purposely try to hurt Vick. The refs could have called ten roughing the passer penalties against the Ravens Sunday.

I vote for written material, because I like the writers. They do a good job. Birdinzipper, I've read your material, and your wife is just gonna nag you to death.
