Preseason NFL: Eagles at Jets


My second and final preseason game of the year brought Michael Vick and the media hordes to Giants Stadium for the Eagles game against the Jets. Donavon McNabb would not be playing at all, which would make the assignment of getting Vick images a bit easier, as he would be playing some of the first half, and all of the second half.

He wasn't out long for warmups, but captured a few of him getting a bit loose.



As well as an interesting one of the Jets head coach Rex Ryan and their former coach NFL analyst Herm Edwards.


Onto the game, Jets RB hopeful Danny Woodhead had a monster game, and it seemed to be enough for him to make the team (he did make the 53-man roster, but was cut a couple of days later when the Jets picked up a few guys off waivers)


Michael Vick on the other hand was harassed all night, by the Jets 'D'...


Not to mention some Jet fans...


But in the end, he was still smiling...


While the game featured some hits, like this one on Kareem Brown,


and some nice touchdowns, like this long one to David Clowney,



it's still NFL preseason football, which might just be the most irrelevant thing in sports, the starters barely play at all, and it tends to be pretty boring to shoot, and even more so to watch.

So with that, I take my two preseason games of trial and error, and like Mark Sanchez (who was impressive again in his one drive) head off into my "rookie" season of shooting the NFL...
