Eagles top Colts in lone Sunday preseason game
However, keep a look out for Ed Reynolds.
Late in the fourth quarter, Tebow earned another ovation as he ran to the right end and tackled Colts safety player, Winston Guy, for a 7-yard touchdown after a turnover left the Eagles ball into the Colts territory.
The son of missionaries and an outspoken Christian believer, Tebow has consistently said that God comes before football and family. Given his limited opportunities to showcase his skills to the coaching staff and a handful of underwhelming performances when in action, Barkley’s career as an Eagle to this point has been mostly an afterthought. It’s been only one game, though, and he must prove it was no fluke. We respect and trust each other and believe in each other. We are in preseason right now.
If you noticed, all of these “laterals” are not actually laterals as they are all forward passes. “It’s about showing that it’s not just a one-time flash of greatness”. This game was not intended for starters.
“He should have had three”, Maxwell corrected. But Tebow impressed out there today. At the end of the day, I like the fact that that happened today. Both were toward the goalpost nearest Pattison Avenue. In the team’s preseason debut (and Tebow-as-an-Eagle debut) he had his offense line up in sets of threes during pregame warmups. He knuckled a 48-yarder through the Pattison uprights. Here’s what we wrote in March, shortly after Tebow signed: we’ve talked a lot in recent years about how Kelly’s offense is about as quarterback-friendly as they come in the NFL; Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez all had success in it. I don’t think he’s really happy with my decision.
Rhett Ellison: Despite being listed second on the Vikings’ depth chart at tight end, Ellison has not recorded a catch in either of their first two preseason games. He must just become Kelly’s two point conversion specialist.
“It was the plan all along”, Kelly said.
“Everyone is human. Everyone misses a kick here and there”, Parkey said.
Tim Tebow #11 of the Philadelphia Eagles warms up prior to the preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on August 16, 2015 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He hit three from 40, too. “Sproles has meant a great deal for where I am right now”.
Kelly didn’t want to be told Parkey had a bad practice last week.
“With each week that goes by, you’re more ready”, Bradford said. Greg Toler made two good plays, then completely whiffed on a missed tackle that led to Nelson Agholor’s touchdown reception.
Still, the wideout from USC didn’t feel any nerves prior to his first NFL game. Smith didn’t dominate but looked like anything but a bust.
“The one thing you don’t know about any of those guys is what are they going to be like until you get them into a game and that’s the encouraging thing”. Hey, history hasn’t been kind to many fifth-round picks who spent their rookie years on the scout team. The game can also be seen streaming live through your PC, tablet or smart phone on NFL.com thanks to their free-trial package.
Starting quarterback Sam Bradford, who was obtained in a trade with the St. Louis Rams in the offseason, did not play Sunday. Ryan Mathews started at running back and lugged it twice for 18 yards, including a nine-yard carry before retiring to the sideline.
