WR Chris Owusu (knee) needs arthroscopic surgery and will miss at least one game, though various reports suggest he will be out a minimum of two weeks. The Colts seemed ready to bounce back Monday night in their home opener, but their struggles continued in a 20-7 loss to the Jets. As for Fitzpatrick it should be a similar mindset for him on Sunday.

“We dissect the opponent”, Revis said, “and we go through the game plan and we try to figure out ways to create turnovers”.
“It’s not getting any worse, it’s getting better”, the cornerback said after limited participation in Thursday’s practice – after taking Wednesday off to rest. (Perhaps if they had taken the revolutionary step of drafting an offensive lineman over the past two seasons, this might not be the case.) The only real hope is that the players on hand begin to execute the current scheme better. Being in the Kelly offense was supposed to change his life. Following their loss last Sunday, Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff said he regularly heard Cowboys defensive players calling out the Eagles plays before the snap.
Yeah, it’s weird to be on the other end of a possible “trap game”. And the Philadelphia offense is less than overpowering, to put it kindly, at the moment.
One of the biggest criticisms of the Eagles defense past year was the team’s secondary.
New York has the offensive line capable of opening holes against an Eagles defense without Alonso and Kendricks. “It’s obviously a little bit of an adjustment for them from a technique standpoint in the way that we play things, but I think they’ve really tried to embrace that and get better”. “We’ll see how it progresses and how it goes”. “I received the story line from the mother”.
Somehow, that was still better than what the Eagles got from Sam Bradford. In a four receiver set the Jets would ideally like to keep Skrine matched up in the slot. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Eagles win.
When you looked at the rosters before the season, did you think the Eagles would be an 0-3 team. The AFC actually looks relatively weak right outside of New England, and it could very well be the Jets who emerge as a potential contender.
Running back Stevan Ridley rushed for 2,817 yards and 22 touchdowns during his 52 games with New England. He kicked the game-winning field goal in Super Bowl XXXVIII. That year, the Broncos went 13-3 through the regular season, with Peyton Manning blitzing defenses for 5,477 yards and a record 55 touchdowns, through the air.
Reid: And did we lose the game because of it? Zac Stacy and Bilal Powell are the two names that come to mind for someone that could temporarily replace Owusu. They haven’t given the offense any type of good field position yet this season.
Jeremy Kerley just stood there, looking puzzled.
“Watching Coach Reid stand up there and address the team every day with the tragedy that happened to him and the way the team was going, and not bat an eye, just made everything status quo and go on as usual showed true leadership”. I’ll take this team’s chances with it’s back against the wall.
Let’s not forget how the Green Bay Packers started their 2014 season going 1-2, and I’d say that season turned out to be pretty successful.
Sounds like a game plan any other week, right?

Dorsey: I stand by my belief that we need to run the ball more. Until next time, J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
