Eagles XL - 01
Philadelphia Eagle's coach John Harbaugh, on week one's special teams debacle: He said that after he's had time to reflect, to gain perspective, "I can live with guys running down there and overplaying a wedge and not knowing where the ballcarrier is in the first preseason game," though seeing it happen right in front of you, the returner streaking down the sideline "is like getting gutted." That was what happened on the kickoff return, Harbaugh said - his wedge-busters took their task much too literally. "Our young guys ran down there and crushed the wedge, I mean they just knocked the snot out of the wedge," Harbaugh said. "Totally oblivious to the ballcarrier." no matter about three special teams gaffes leading to 21 points - 14 before the defense had even stood on the carpet - at least they destroyed that wedge!
"They're tough, hard-nosed guys who like football," Harbaugh said of his green coverage and return players.

Well, it's about time you started blogging again. You'd think you had a full-time job or something. :-)
I thought the whole point of the game was to tackle the wedge? ;-)
Can you believe it? Football season is almost upon us! I hate to tell you this, but my favorite NFL team is the Cowboys. All 3 of our children were born in Dallas. My husband and I watched Roger Staubauch's last game when I was in the hospital after having our second child. Unfortunately, that game did nothing to make me feel better. :-( We used to call Ron Jaworski the Polish Blunderbuss.
