Once is not enough

Having just attended the first of two Eagles open practices, I find that I'm left wanting more. The first practice was cool but not as awe inspiring as in previous years. Am I becoming jaded to the Rock music ballet that Chip Kelly runs? Or am I distracted by the revolving door of Eagles players coming and going. Here come those doubts again, rushing in crowing out my thoughts of Championships and Super Bowls. No amount of rock music can cover up the play or lack of it on the field. And it's starts up front with the offense line. Can the backs-up step up, will a returning former player have his act together? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of football players, the Chipper knows! That's how I'm going to deal the the doubting demons. I just push them way in the back of my mind and repeat "The Chipper knows, The Chipper knows" over and over till the last pre season game is over and they take the field for real. No matter what happens I'll be their for every game good, bad, ugly. How about you, will I see you in the parking lot?

Who's still on first?

Ok here's the line up. How bad do you think it will be. That said I hear Mon 4/6 opening day game is sold out, so the fans are coming out despite the poor predictions. If you need a ticket Cav has some check it out

The players with the asterisks next to their name are projected to start the season in Triple-A. Pettibone is coming back from shoulder surgery and Martin is coming back from a shoulder injury as well, so they are big unknowns. Same goes for Adam Morgan. Lineup 1. Ben Revere CF (LHB) 2.
