I'd love to see this as well. Him and Davis causing mismatches

Confirmed inactive players:
White, Grossman, LeRibeus, Meriweather, Gumbs, Neild, Royster.

one thing that stood out to me in preseason was the distribution of passes. Everyone got into the act amongst the recieving core. I look for RGIII to spread the ball around a LOT and hope to see a lot of big plays.
I hope Kyle has RG open up with an 80 yard bomb to Robinson, first play. It would be a nice tone-setter and a turnabout of the blowout a few years back. HTTR

I keep thinking about that, too. But I suspect the Eagles will be looking out for it. I'm thinking that Shanny will want to give RGIII at least one snap to ease himself in, so we can expect to see Morris off-tackle to start.

Alfred, Alfred, short pass to Davis, punt. We all panic. Eagles march down to score 7-0. Then, like the Super Bowl vs. Denver, Robert composes himself and the rout will be on.

Dang, I was thinking that there were only 5 inactives needed, but 4 out of my 5 were on the list!

I'm nervous.

Really not a surprise. I suspect he COULD have played if it were a playoff game, but they really want to give him every chance to get 100% healthy (or as close as possible to it) before they throw him in. That's my guess.

Can't wait to get this party started. We've waited all off season, all preseason and tonight is finally here! HTTR

I'm not nervous about the outcome, just RG3's health. I have no doubt about how well he and the rest of the team will play tonight.

I'm not usually this confident. And now I think about it, THAT's what might make me nervous.

Same here. Hope RGIII stays safe.

Hurry up and get this game started already. These nerves are killing me. Go get em Griff. Go get two hundred yards today Alf. Defense lets get ten sacks today and three interceptions! Only a few minutes away. Lets do this already!!!!! HTTR

Cappster · Post by **Cappster** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 6:42 pm

A healthy RGIII is the number one priority. I want to win the game as well; however, if I had to choose the most important aspect of tonight's game, we need our franchise to stay healthy...although I want all of it in that I want RGIII healthy and kick some tail!

Per Tom Jackson "Come 10 o'clock tonight, Alfred Morris WILL be the number one rusher in the National Football League".

Yup.

All the ESPN Talking Heads, except for Dilfer, picked the Skins.

Wonder if Mara is on the hotline to the officials in the booth

Kerrigan on it as always!

Burgundy&Wha? · Post by **Burgundy&Wha?** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:18 pm

This Iggles Offense is going to be hard to defend.....until we get more hits on them.

Countertrey · Post by **Countertrey** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 7:18 pm

Don't throw a screen to Kerrigan's side... Everybody knows that
