jeffrey. they shook up here for 9 yards completion in the first. look for plenty more that far as they become more comfortable with each other. another newcomber, blunt, he comes over from the new england patriots, he fumbles right here, the eagles were putting together their first decent drive on offense. so, plenty to work on with wentz, and company. we should see them for at least a half next week. now the first team defense was really the story of the game. they got off to strong start. lesean, mccoy, you know him, stuck for lost on the first drive on the very next play big time play from the defense , rodney mcleod gets in , there deflect the ball. mychal kendricks picks offer taylor. that would lead to an eagles field goal. the first score of the game. and of course we have to talk about the few guy who comes over from those buffalo bills, ronald darby. looking sharp against his old team. he picks off taylor right here in the second quarter. he also nearly had another

pick. so the birds first team d was flying high. now the birds second team, offense, also made some noise in their time-out there. nelson agholor getting involved right there. and 19 yards, hook up in the second quarter. agholor, he's going have to be a player for this oven this year, they really need him out of the slot. cory clemente, he had a 6-yard touchdown carry before half time, as well, looking to become perhaps one of the backups on this eagles team. and then, byron marshall, he is in for a 1 yard score. the birds win 20 to 16. the coach says things will ramp up as the regular season get closer. >> we don't game plan these games. we deep very vanilla, you know , listen, still evaluating all of our players, and tonight we're able to get everybody back in this football game. so the minute we begin to game plan, give our starters, you know, the whole week of practice, you know, things do
