24. Little Fish

It’s hard to imagine how Little Fish, the now-slightly-bigger-than-postage-stamp-sized BYOB in Bella Vista, is still improving. After all, it’s been several years since Mike Stollenwerk’s original restaurant received national praise as one of America’s best seafood restaurants. Stollenwerk has since sold Little Fish to chef Chadd Jenkins, and the restaurant has relocated down 6th Street to slightly larger (but still definitely little) confines. And yet it might just be a better restaurant than ever. The fish is perfectly cooked, and the $25-and-up prices are more than justified by the creative showcasing of surf, turf and fowl, with veal sausage knocking the cobia up a notch and duck with lentils and red wine making tuna feel new again.

Value Play: Little Fish’s $33 Sunday-night tasting menu is still one of the best deals anywhere.

    Asomugha was not beat on the slant. Cover 2, pattern matchup zone, LB has the 1 receiver breaking inside. Watch the replay. Nnamdi makes no attempt to go with him because that’s not his guy. Just because you line up in front of someone doesn’t mean you end up defending him relative to the scheme.

    Mildly impress with Cox and Boykins, and Kendrick yesterday, the Eagles rookies held their own and made critical plays…. The Cox Sack, the Boykin pass defended, and Kendrick was all over the place in support and making plays…… hats off to Ryans yesterday, his key play was telling Coleman to give himself up after his interception.

    Horrible offensive game, but I thought this was a key game for the Rookies and they came through.

    I think we watched two of the best Pass Defenses in the NFL This year, the Browns were excellent last year.

    Ugly wins are better than well-played losses. There’s not going to be an asterisk next to the 1-0 record tomorrow, detailing how the Eagles should’ve actually lost the game.

      The difference between winning and losing in the NFL is that thin, the igg’s aren’t alwasy going to come out on top of those. They should have put away a lesser team in the browns, that has been Reid’s calling card, beat up the puds/then lay a dud

        True – I agree that this doesn’t bode well. Still – I’m happy with the W.

        • xlGmanlx

          Yup, a “w” is still a “w”, regardless of what the fans think or not. I just would have liked to see some growth from the issues of last year. It appears the D made the change, keyword appears, but can we put the focus back on MM and the offense? That was disgraceful…..

    i’m surprised the eagles won this Andy Reid special. this is what he did to Mcnabb so often, throwing 50+ running under 25 times and getting the qb assaulted. usually, the team goes on a serious win streak after the special. let’s see where this leads. . .

  • Brian Donnelly

    Sheil, Re the run/pass ratio. It is almost inconceivable that the play-calling was as imbalanced as it was. Were the coaches not watching the game? Do you think they are unable to adjust? Or are they just stubborn and won’t adjust? It doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season that the biggist question mark is a toss-up between quarterback play and signal calling.

    Give the ball to McCoy more and set up play action please! Maybe they’ll stop blitzing so much! Come on Marty and Andy, just awful !

  • EaglefaninAZ

    “LeSean McCoy had 20 carries for 110 yards. The Eagles
    called 60 pass plays and 23 runs, which was dumbfounding when you
    consider how much Vick and the offensive line struggled.”

    What you (and a lot of others) call dumbfounding is known as professional coaching in Eagledom.
    They are the smartest guy in the room. Never forget that.

    Vick just had his pre- season… In Cleveland:)

    Why keep five backs on the roster if you’re not going to run the ball?

      Looked to me the Eagles panicked for some reason and abandoned good judgement, why game plan to throw that many times when you can’t protect your QB? Shady could have run for a duce if given the ball. He ran for a buck 10, and had 30 yards of rushing returned for holding.

  • What Would Saracen Do?

    The defense played very well overall, but the offense, especially the o-line, looked terrible. And where is the discipline? WAY too many penalties.

  • Borntosuffer

    Ugly on offense. But, pulling out this game after playing so poorly is a big plus.

  • Yomama

    56 passes in a low-scoring, one score game

  • ACViking

    Any QB but Brandon Weeden wins this game for the Browns. And the young LB, Fort, lets the INT go through his hands on the last drive . . . 1 play before the Eagles won the game.

    Those are the kind of things the Eagles used to do in the last century when they were absolutely among the worst teams in the league.

    • JofreyRice

      Yeah, a lot of the organizational bootlickers and PE.Com teacher’s pets are thumping their chest about the defense’s great 2nd half, but Weeden overthrew Massaquoi on 1 TD, and Alex Smith on another. The Eagles were very fortunate to barely edge out a 4-12 team with a rookie QB having a terrible first game.

      That may have been why they chose the Game Plan they chose. 56 passes to get Vick some reps he missed in the pre Season against a stellar pass defensive team from last year.
