Ravens Crush Eagles in Preseason Opener

Posted Aug 14, 07 1:42 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Ravens defeated the Donovan McNabb-deprived Eagles 29-3 in last night's preseason opener in Baltimore. McNabb, who's still recovering from knee surgery, watched three of his teammates get injured in the carnage as the Ravens crushed his dilapidated offense. Most serious was running back Ryan Moats' fractured ankle, which could sideline him for the year.

"It was not a very good performance, from the first unit down to the last," said Philly head coach Andy Reid, who remains optimistic about the season's prospects. "We got to see some young guys play and we'll be able to evaluate them." McNabb is slated to return this Friday against Carolina.

    1958 Classic Still Rings True Pigskin was served up differently 50 years ago, and Atlantic scribe Marc Bowden learned just how differently by watching the 1958 New York Giants-Baltimore Colts classic with current Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid. “You can’t even do that today," Reid said of the Colts' first play. “You have to have some guys on the line of scrimmage.” The game was also quicker—with no pauses for commercial breaks—and plays were simpler.
