Week 3 Preview – Eagles at Jacksonville

WEEK #3 Preview
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2010
EVERBANK FIELD – 4:05 PM

Michael Vick has earned the position of starting quarterback as the Philadelphia Eagles travel to EverBank Field on Sunday to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Making his first start since 2006, Vick went on to lead the Eagles (1-1) to a 35-32 win over the Detroit Lions last Sunday, going 21 of 34 for 284 yards and two touchdowns while adding 37 rushing yards.  “When someone is playing at the level Michael Vick is playing, you have to give him an opportunity,” Reid said. “This isn’t about Kevin Kolb’s play. You’re talking about Michael Vick as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now.”  Reid said this one day after stating that he would go back to Kolb as the starter.  This decision has caused quite the commotion between fans.  Vick should hopefully prove all those nay sayers wrong.

Week 2 Preview – Eagles vs Lions

WEEK #2 Preview
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2010
FORD FIELD – 1:00 PM

   

The Philadelphia Eagles and The Detroit Lions suffered some pretty substantial losses in their opening games last week, so it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top.

The Eagles lost quarterback Kevin Kolb to a concussion late in the first half of their game against the Green Bay Packers (27-20). Kolb has yet to pass a concussion test by a doctor, so I think it is safe to say we won’t be seeing him this Sunday.  Coach Reid has said though, as soon as Kolb is healthy enough to play, he will resume his role as starting quarterback.  The Lions lost quarterback Michael Stafford; he is recovering from a shoulder injury he received in their contentious loss against the Chicago Bears (19-14) last weekend.   The Eagles being no stranger to injuries have rallied and put their confidence in Michael Vick as the starting quarterback for this Sunday’s game.
