Yes, he's there and dressed. I expect to see more of him tonight. But that's not saying much.
I don’t know. Did they say he is playing a lot tonight? My understanding is the Eagles are keeping most guys under wrap until the season starts.
Trace just had a gorgeous 22 yard TD pass to Chris Moore.
One of the announcers for the Ravens-Packers game is Gerry Sandusky.
Yea he is the local TV guy and the Ravens play by play guy. I heard rumors that he had a rough go of it for a while. Felt really bad for him.
I didn’t see the swing...a little disappointing. Nice throw into a tight window.
Sanders started at RB for the Birds and looked very good on several carries, and was excellent in picking up a blitz on one pass play.
Miller has looked pretty good at DE for the Eagles. He seems likely to make the team; at worst he'd be on the practice squad.
@sluggo72 -- Wiz started at center. He looked very good blocking. One of his snaps on a shotgun was a little low, but other than that he looked like a veteran going against mostly rookies.
I haven't noticed DeAndre Thompkins. He may have played; I just haven't noticed him. He's going to have a tough time making the roster, as the Birds are loaded at WR. I question whether he'll even be able to make the practice squad, but that's likely dependent on what he's shown at camp, and I haven't heard too much about him from the reporters that are at camp.

And just like that, Thompkins gets in the game, and has a ball go off his hands right into a defender for an INT around the Eagles 10 yard line. smh
I know preseason doesn't mean much at all but Kyler Murray definitely doesn't look like an NFL QB right now and definitely not someone that should have been the top pick. Even when he had a clean pocket his throws were very inaccurate. Deer in headlights scenario.
I know one of their other sportscasters and he said that Gerry with a G had to have security with him for a while, was getting death threats.
I don't think that the Air Raid is going to be that successful in the NFL. His height is going to be impacted by the size of OL and DL, which I'd assume on average are 2-3" taller than college equivalents. Hence his overthrows. The backup Hundley looked a lot better and is probably who I would start to begin with. The Raider's blitzed Murray and he just wasn't ready for it. Looked like the first half of the Alabama semifinal.
I agree with you. Even when he had a clean pocket he was extremely inaccurate. A couple bad overthrows. Starting Hundley this year is probably their best option.
Got to mention Saeed Blacknall of the Dolphins. I liked how he handled himself at PSU. Hope he makes the team.
three targets, one catch for 25 yds.

He didn't play until the 4th quarter. He made a nice tackle on a kickoff. He assisted on 2 tackles and forced a fumble on one, 0 passes defended at safety. Played the last series at LB. Had one tackle, one assist and 1 pass defended.
Every player on the Cardinals interior OL is either 6'4 or 6'5. Murray played behind guys 6'2 and 6'3 at OU, and college heights tend to be exaggerated.
Yes, they were off 1/4in it looks like

I enjoyed the Cards Raiders game last week. The DC from the raiders was said to be chomping at the bit to go against the Card's RPO offense. he had the DE's crash to the mesh point, covered the QB with an OLB/CB/S and dared them to run inside. They couldn't. Raiders starting D just trashed the Card's RPO in embarrassing fashion. They said that the RPO was just simply not going to work against good DE play.
