Really excited to see the new defense play and so I wrote up how the Colts v Eagles game begins. Yes I am bored – I even folded/hung-up my laundry and decided I could put my time to better use -
!st game – first series
Colts win coin toss and defer and will get the ball to start the second half. Eagles watch Blankenship's kick bounce out of the end-zone and will start from their own 25 yard line.
Eagles line up in a shotgun for the first down play and Wentz hands the ball to Sanders – Stewart holds up a double-team and Buckner penetrates - Sanders is forced to bounce the ball outside. He is met by Leonard and Rhodes for a one-yard gain. Brooks, the Eagles right guard is looking worried – he may have a long afternoon.
2nd and nine – again a shotgun and this time it is a fake handoff and Wentz glances down field – the pocket is collapsing and Turay is bending round the corner – Wentz wisely throws the ball away.
3rd and nine – Wentz lines up under center – its a 3 step drop and he is looking for Jeffries on a slant – Okereke jumps the play and gets a hand on the ball and tips it in the air – Hooker charging in dives and barely misses the interception.
4th and nine - The Eagles punt - Hines is waiting with a grin on his face –
