Tebow Gets Standing Ovation, Touchdown In Eagles Debut

Homestanding Philadelphia smacked the Colts 36-10 Sunday. The USC record holder was 12-for-20 on Sunday, gaining 192 yards through the air, with an interception.

Even if Tebow plays well this preseason, the problem might be that the Eagles don’t have a spot for him. The game film, however, isn’t going to Canton.

“I would say I’m in wide receiver shape”, Smith said Thursday. Agholor lived up to his hype and was very good in his first game as an Eagle. He made his triumphant return to the preseason field in the third quarter, and the fans who stuck around Lincoln Financial Field were treated to plenty of Tebow Time thanks to three Colts turnovers while he was in there. Bradford was “disappointed” that he was not playing but it was ultimately Chip Kelly’s decision.

For the Colts, Andrew Luck made further big steps in his progress in establishing himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

That said, it did take Barner some time before he realized just how valuable a role model like Sproles could be. “But there won’t be 70 this year”.

Sanchez, who guided Chip Kelly’s offense the first two drives, went 2-for-7, but he had a TD toss to Agholor, and he added a 10-yard run. “I think when Tim gets in there, you’ll see him run the ball a little bit”. “I have to be more consistent”.

No Sam Bradford, no Kiko Alonso, no DeMeco Ryans, no Zach Ertz, no DeMarco Murray, but still, no shortage of compelling story lines.

-Dorsett debuted with four catches (two receptions on the first two plays of the game) for 51 yards, but it was a second-quarter fumble that had his complete attention afterwards.

Nelson Agholor will certainly always remember his first catch in an NFL uniform.

Agholor saved Sanchez from total disgrace. One of them was zipped into Jordan Matthews in what was an absolutely flawless throw by Barkley. Philly fans will be happy to see a much improved defense on the field this year after the woeful performances last year. I mean, that’s like a no-brainer and I just missed it. That was unfortunate.

“I feel great”, he told the newspaper.

Marcus Smith was on the field doing positive things! The 2014 first-round pick notched a tackle and played with reckless abandon. I’m in the best shape of my career since I’ve been playing football… He shows the necessary fearlessness the position requires and could be the special-teams playmaker the Colts lost in Sergio Brown in free agency.

Tebow’s numbers were rough.

Tebow entered the game midway through the third quarter and finished the day 6-for-12 for 69 yards and one rushing touchdown.

In comparison, Mark Sanchez, last season for the Eagles, completed 198 of 309 throws for 2,418 yards and 14 touchdowns. And considering how Barkley had typically played for the Eagles, not-bad was an improvement. Tebow guided them to 10. Communication, he said. But I was also like, ‘They [the Eagles offensive players] won’t be able to hear me!

The son of missionaries and an outspoken Christian believer, Tebow has consistently said that God comes before football and family.

Despite his strong showing, there are things to be worked on before the next preseason game – Saturday against the Ravens.

Not a moment too soon for the Eagles.
