There is no Phils game tonight, so I expect you all to watch the Birds' pre-season opener. That includes you, George!
To assist with your viewing pleasure, the Philly Sports Phan, a true football expert, has graciously provided you with several things to watch for during tonight's game (in no particular order):
1. Does Chris Gocong seem out of place out there with the first team defense? (I.E., Can he cover tight ends? Does he look comfortable making plays "in space" or is he mostly used as an aggressive blitzing outside linebacker? Hand in hand with #1 is how does the other competitor at strong side linebacker, rookie Stewart Bradley, look? He is a natural linebacker, so I will not be shocked if ultimately he beats out Gocong for the job.
2. Does Sean Considine look bigger and is he a factor in the run game?
3. Is there anyone other than Quentin Mikell that can possibly be a reliable backup safety?
4. How does the gigunda, Aussie punter, Sav Rocca, look in relation to Dirk Johnson?
5. Kevin Kolb
6. Kevin Kolb
7. Kevin Kobl. He is the only reason to watch the second half.
8. Broderick Bunkley. Is he penetrating and making plays in the run game or is he being pushed around?
9. Jevon Kearse. Can he get through the game healthy? That's all I care about. I wish the guy could wear a red jersey limiting his contact.
10. Jeremy Clark...he is a rookie DT that the press has been raving about at camp. An unsigned free agent always makes this team. Could he be the guy? If so, Reagor or Scott won't be here.
11. Kevin Curtis....how does he look? He's been the star of the camp according to reporters. Will it translate to the game field?
12. Max Jean Gilles and Winston Justice: Do either look like the could step in and play? With the way we are racking up injuries, they may get a chance to play this year.
13. Pray that Ryan Moats has a great preseason. If he does, we may be able to trade him.
14. Jeremy Bloom....Does this guy really have a shot to be the kick returner for this team?
15. Brent Celek....He's about our only hope at TE if LJ is out for an extended period of time. However, I refuse to fully acknowledge this guy due to this play.
Now pay attention to these items. There will be a test on Tuesday.

I would rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick than watch preseason football. I will watch football in November when baseball, NASCAR, and golf is over as long as there are no NHL games on at the same time.
That is just plain sad...seriously, what do you talk to the other guys at the office about on Monday morning? The Nascar race?
You are definitely fighting city hall on this issue.
