Mornhinweg: "not much good there" against Cincinnati
Jonathan Tamari
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
Vick was awful....Vick was 1-6 with TWO INTERCEPTIONS...Vick also stunk last week when he had TWO FUMBLES and also another INTERCEPTION...that's a two game total of THREE INTERCEPTIONS and TWO FUMBLES in about one half of a game...Vick is TERRIBLE.— Bill20- Marty when coaching took his team to the heights of ... oh wait, that wasn't him. Anyway what a great mind.
- same day, same old story.....inefective schemes, inefective players, over evaluated talent, not one group (offensive line, special teams, defensive backfield, run stoppers, linebacking) performed well or with any consistency...and this after two weeks of trianing camp...,.jsut shows you how you cannot coach "UP" mediocre talent.....good job andy, JoeB, waterboy Howie and others.....Youhave shown an incredible about of foresight in your 11 years and the franchise has the Super Bowl Trophies to prove it.....OOOPS— nuggett
- Obvious problems w o-line & red zone, as well as self-defeating penalties on offense & special teams. Defense looks like it may gel into a very strong unit. I'd like to see more against a top notch running team. Chiefs aren't that, but they do provide a test - esp. if Jones & Charles get a few more touches than the previous two preseason games.— Ed3
- nuggett- did you say 3rd most wins in the last decade? it could be worse, you could be in detroit or cleveland, actually why dont you go there.— fman727
- Training camp grade thus far: MF (Miserable Failure). Only bright spot is David Akers.— tralala
bill20 -- you are the definition of a loser. this article has nothing to with vick, yet you still find a way to get on your soapbox. you cant even be a man of your word and stop watching. i seriously wish that i could get you help. you need it bud- Bill20 - glad you can cut and paste your jibberish from one column to the next. Can you also rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time?— EaglesBleedMoney
The Bengals D is not too shabby, but the Eagles O must do better. O line next year's draft. Rebuilding this year. Special teams have the furthest to go outside of FGs.- Preseason people, calm down. After the first games of the REGULAR season then start with the apocalyptic chatter. And Bill20 go root for a different team, you're an idiot.— Phillies1120
- please tell me how Bill20 is wrong? oh thats right you cant. Vick stinks. Oh and Bill you forgot to mention that was against 2nd team D's. Ouch, Vick and his pathetic lot of defenders need to go away not Bill20. Marty stinks, I wish he would go away too.— peteike
- How frequently have the Eagles done well in preseason? Preseason is no predictor of regular season success.— RichB
Comment removed.- Nugget is clueless...he probalby didn't become a fan until Andy was coach. He forgets how bad we really sucked before Reid. Stop hatin, he's the reason we win year in and year out. Reid will be here for a long time, get used to it and stop complaining.— cous76
Vick sucks— Mr. Underhill
