Quick Hits From Eagles Postgame
I just finished up in the Eagles locker room a short time ago.
Safety Sean Considine suffered a mild concussion in the first half. Other than that, Philly came through their preseason loss to the Steelers without a scratch
The Eagles defense allowed nearly 300 yards of offense in the first half and more than 260 in passing yards. Eagles coach Andy Reid, when asked about his defense, said, "I think we'll be all right."
Reid mentioned that both teams struggled to cover the tight ends down the middle of the field and that Considine butchered a play in the first half by going for a hit instead of playing the receiver. Reid also noted the inability of the Eagles to get off blocks downfield on screen passes which Pittsburgh used effectively in both halves.
Reid said that, despite a decent job done by rookie Kevin Kolb, A.J. Feeley will remain the No. 2 quarterback.
He added that McNabb is still the No. 1 "just so there's no confusion on that."
