Woohoo, UCONN in the lead now. Hopefully they can hold on. Lorenzen is playing quite well.

Of course I probably just jinxed us, oh well.

Uconn! Huskies!

Smokey Joe · 11-03-2007, 08:18 PM

speaking of Rutgers.... go Jack Egbert!

Forenci · 11-03-2007, 09:20 PM

Woohoo! Donald Brown is a beast! Donald Brown > Ray Rice

Lol, just kidding, but Brown has put on a heck of a show in the second half. I'm just glad as it looks like we'll come away with the victory. Proving the critics wrong once again!

Wow D.C. re-comitted to us. Very weird especially since Miles didn't leave.

Man, signing day is approaching guys!

Keith Stroud was recently bumped up to 4* on Rivals so that's still a solid signing. Malcolm Johnson also recruited (WR) so Schiano is still getting the valuable FL prospects.

we got a couple very good FL WR's the other day. I'm pumped with DC and now Malcolm. got some nice D guys as well.
I'm stoked to see Greene and Lefeged at the safety spots. My lord will they hit!!!

Philliez01 · 02-02-2008, 12:17 PM

Yeah, this class is lacking the "big-time" players like a Britt, Young, Davis, etc. but it's building just fine. I think DC Jefferson will be a great QB for RU and I really like Forst, Wayne Warren and Vallone should all make impacts relatively soon.

Let's try and actually use this thread this year.

I've had a rough summer but I'm looking forward to the start of the season. I realy thought a big problem of ours last year was our run defense and that should be so much better this year with Abreu(Big Star) and D'Imperio playing this year. It was a shame Ryan was hurt the the first half last year as he would have been a big plus. I'm a little worried about the line just because they are going to need some time to come together. Fresno is a great test for the opening game.

yea the line needs to come together. Our camp struggles running are most likely the line. Davis, Haslam and R-Blaz are fine, I'm comfortable with them, but we need to mesh and Rauch needs to provehimself tough on the inside.

I think Abreu-D'Imperio-Malast could be very nasty. Abreu supposedly put on 15 lbs of muscle, and still runs his nasty speed(like 4.50ish if I recall)

Yeah he's going to be amazing. I saw a picture of him and he looks jacked and as you said he's still crazy fast. I haven't been this positive about a player since Britt his freshmen year.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-01-2008, 11:03 AM

Only 4 more hours!!!

bigbluedefense · 09-02-2008, 08:17 AM

I think I speak for all of us when i say that I blame Scotty for our epic failure against Fresno St.

:(

eaglesalltheway · 09-02-2008, 08:25 AM

I watched the game yesterday to keep an eye on Britt and Greene. I took play-by-play notes of the game and went a little more in-depth with notes on both of them. If anybody is interested in seeing what I came up with just say so. I will be posting in-depth write-ups on both Britt and Greene's games in the Eagles forum tomorrow night if anyone wants to check that out. That is a tough loss, but Piscataway has a lot to look forward to. Britt and Underwood are a very good receiving duo. Brock looks to be a solid TE, and the running game looks promising, especially Young. He was inches away from breaking a few runs wide open, and still had a good game. Don't worry Rutgers Fans, hope isn't lost. And I'm sure Scotty was doing his voodoo against Fresno as best he could, it isn't his fault, :D.

lol yeah, poor Scotty :p

Underwood is gonna be a very good WR. Kind of reminds me of Santonio Holmes. Id love to hear your breakdown of Greene. I didn't get to catch the game, I just saw the highlights.

eaglesalltheway · 09-02-2008, 08:35 AM

I'll give you a little tidbit of Greene, I posted it in the Draft stock thread if your interested. It doesn't go into much detail, but it gives major stats and other things. I will do the complete evaluation when I have the write-up tomorrow. I am at work now and don't have it with me. I will say this though, it is hard to completely evaluate WRs and secondary members off of a live game. There are camera angles that are designed to monitor what goes on downfield that I don't have access to.

eaglesalltheway · 09-02-2008, 08:37 AM

I watched the Rutgers, Fresno State game yesterday, and took particular close attention to Kenny Britt and Courney Greene, and both looked pretty good. I did write-ups on them that I will be posting in the Eagles section tomorrow night if anybody is interested. I'll do a brief overview now.

WR Kenny Britt caught 6 passes for 89 yards, 4 of those passes were caught for first downs, and had a his biggest reception on a WR screen, where he picked up 41 yards. Had a few crucial drops though, one that would have led to a TD and one more that would have resulted in a first down, but since he dropped it, the Scarlet Knights had to punt. He also not only showed willingness to block, but good blocking technique.

SS Courtney Greene had 7 takcles, 6 solo, 1 TFL, but missed one tackle (I may be remembering that incorrectly, my write-up isn't in front of me) He was covering at least two passes that were incomplete.

I will do evaluations when I do my full write-ups on them, those are just some stats and other things.

^^^That is what I wrote in the thread.

i definitely agree. its very hard without the endzone angle. is he getting dirty in the run game? thats one thing you can evaluate well from the tv angle.

scottyboy · 09-02-2008, 08:38 AM

good stuff, but I kinda disagree on the drop for a TD by Britt. If he caught it, it would've been a fingertips lunging grab. He had 5 yards on the defender, Teel just played like total poop

eaglesalltheway · 09-02-2008, 08:39 AM

Most of the plays he made were in the running game or after short passes, but like I said, I want to see him more in coverage. If I remember correctly, he did let a WR past him on one play, but I don't have much to go for with coverage.

scottyboy · 09-02-2008, 08:40 AM

oh, and Joe Lefeged WILL kill someone. He just flies everywhere and DRILLS people. I LOVE him. He's just everywhere and anhilates people. He rules

That was a very difficult catch I agree, but he had both hands on the ball. It defintiley isn't all on him. Teel could have made a better throw, but its like the old saying goes, if you can get your hands on it, you should catch it. I had a points system I was working with, I chalked that up as a neutral play for him because it wasn't all on him.
