Game is blacked out here. How does everyone look?

I've come around a lot on Benson. He's looked really good this preseason.
Kolb just threw a beautiful pass on the run to Jackson.

TO has looked pretty good. Made a nice over the shoulder catch deep down the sidelines last series.

1. I don't think Kolb looks bad. It seems to me he takes off out of the pocket pretty quick and likes to throw on the run though. I'd like to see him settle down in there a little bit and then move on the run only if he has to, not do it as much. He does have a strong arm and he's able to sling it pretty good when he does move on the run to his right.2. TO should be no surprise. 2 years ago with Dallas he was still considered a top notch receiver in the NFL. He goes to Buffalo, one of the worst passing teams in the NFL and does OK. To write him off as done is a big mistake and although Cinci is a run team first and they have 85, TO will get his, he's just too good and always has been.3. I think Carson Palmer has impressed me. He looks like he's getting some time from the offensive line to throw and he's stepping up into his passes but he's definately getting something on his ball. He's pretty accurate tonight, it's only 1 week but I have to say I like what I'm seeing from Palmer tonight.I also like my super sleeper pick in running back B. Scott. If he stays healthy, he'll vulture a few Td's away from Benson and if Benson happens to break down in the latter part of the year, don't hesitate to start Scott, he'll put up some numbers. If you get Benson in a draft, don't forget about the cheap handcuff in Scott late in your drafts.

He looks like value to me. At least if you were basing it on this game alone.

I think Kolb has looked better as the game has progressed.
Good mobility and throws well out of the pocket... reminiscent of Romo in that regard.
Gresham is one big, athletic dude. Finley comparison was accurate.

They're going to miss Westy, too.

Akers had been the best Eagles preseason player so far.

Gresham: 3 rec, 34 yds so far.

I get your point but Scott Mitchell could NEVER throw the ball on the run. Watching that guy run and then attempt to throw a pass while running still gives me nightmares. I wake up in a cold sweat yelling "NO, DON'T THROW IT!" still to this day. Scott Mitchell, wow what a bum.

Joe Flacco already owns that moniker.

First half thoughts are
almer will be better as a FF QB then I think some have him pegged for.Gresham is impressiveIf Pacman can be better than people think in the return game, the CIN defense could be a steal.McCoy just doesn't seem explosiveKolb is accurate but he consistsntly seems rushed to make a play.
Iwannabeacowboybaby!

He's always good but you know, I like what I've seen out of D. Jackson. Kolb definately looks for him, Kolb has a strong arm and Jackson is flat out explosive. Even if Kolb doesn't play well this year or up to Eagle standards, I think Jackson still gets his and has some big days. I think he gets his targets, I think he'll make big plays and I don't think Philly will be able to run the ball to keep it out of Kolb's hands which will eventually end up in Jackson's hands.

In all honesty the eagles should let vick be the primary running back, he would be so much more productive than McCoy.

Based on this game alone, I agree. Vick certainly hasn't looked good throwing... but again, is that Vick or Cincy Defense?

Eagles just don't look good at all.

I thought Kolb looked pretty good, I am not changing my stance that he'll be a top 12 fantasy QB, but make some mistakes. He did seem a bit quick to leave the pocket, but with the Eagles line, maybe 'better safe than sorry'. The Eagles line has some issues to be worked out. Didn't look good rush or pass blocking.
I think the Eagles offense is going to go through DeSean, and in the first two games, they went to him early. Would have liked to see more passes to Celek, to maybe justify the hype, but we're talking about a pretty small sample size.
The concerns about Palmer's dead arm have to be eased a bit. Had a lot of mustard on his throws, although a few were higher than you'd like. A beautiful 40 yarder to TO, couldn't have thrown it better. Ocho Cinco, meanwhile, must've been wondering where those passes were, as Palmer hung him out to dry on two passes.
Greasham looks like the goods.
Cincy's O-line did a pretty good job of blocking the active Eagles front. Too many penalties for each O-line, but Cincy's looked a lot better.
Bummed that Bernard Scott got dinged, I think he's a nice looking player. So much faster than Benson, it's laughable. Wouldn't be surprised if Scott earns 5 touches or so per game.
Cincy's defense is big and fast, and they play confident. Youngsters like Geno Atkins, Michael Johnson, and Carlos Dunlap give them some line depth. Looks like Dhani Jones will be the MLB for one more year.
Kolb ain't losing any sleep over Vick. Umm, Vick sucks if he has to play for any length of time.

Well, smart enough to have someone else do the talking/writing for him is "growing up a bit", I guess.

I remember a few years ago when Aaron Rogers just started. Everyone was saying he was a bust.
The Eagle OL is still getting healthy. Kolb is going to put up huge numbers if they are playing from behind. I liked what I saw when he was rolling out. He missed a few guys that would have been huge or penalized just killed the Eagles offense.

Eagles oline been trying to get healthy for how long now?
They never addressed the center position, LG is still a mystery with Herremans foot. I havent seen how Stacy Andrews is playing but with McCoy having to break tackles before the LOS, that doesn't bold well.

Eagles O-Line looked bad tonight. How can you keep lining up wrong?
Bengals better hope Carson stays healthy. O'Sullivan and Jordan Palmer stink. The kickers are horrible. The Bengals opening day kicker is currently on the Texans roster.

Both Herremans and Jackson are practicing. Herremans will definitely be there week 1. There's a good chance Jackson will be too.

Really? He put up 150yds and basically a TD (that was called back for an illegal formation) against a top defense with an O-line that was getting DOMINATED.I thought that Kolb and DeSean Jackson both looked great. The Philly o-line looked awful. If they get their stuff together, Kolb is going to be huge.

As an Eagles homer, I really, really, REALLY doubt it. Even in Washington, he's already been taking a ton of heat for his piss poor accuracy. I n Philly, he was ALWAYS underthrowing and overthrowing receivers. He got into funks where he couldn't hit an open man to save his life. Don't get me wrong, when he was on his game, he was good. Great, even. He just wasn't "on his game" that often.I think it's far more likely he gets exposed this year.
