Michael Vick dropped back to pass 59 times Sunday against the Browns, and on 14 of those occasions, or about 24 percent of the time, he took a hit.
Who was to blame on those plays?
Here is a breakdown of the 14 hits, followed by a player-by-player review of the offensive line after having re-watched the game.
It’s impossible not to be struck by the contrasts in styles.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with his hot pink-rimmed glasses resting a click south of his green mowhawk, answering questions quick and casually. Nnamdi Asomugha the stall over wearing a button-down and tie, carefully digesting each volley before returning serve.
On the field, Asomugha is the tactician, each movement measured and with purpose. Rodgers-Cromartie more loose and reliant on recovery speed.
“We laugh at that,” said Asomugha on the whole Odd Couple element. “But it’s always been like that. Every team I’ve been on there’s been a different personality with the other corner, and you see that throughout the league. But you know, it’s like a marriage: oppostites attract, so I’m good with it. He’s good with it.”
The key similarity is that they are both press corners.
Jason Babin usually punts on questions about the defense that don’t concern the front four. He is a defensive lineman. It is what he knows, it is what he cares about. He doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head — just one set in the front that’s always honed in on the quarterback.
Following the nail-biting win over the Browns on Sunday, though, Babin was talking linebackers. And more specifically he was talking about DeMeco Ryans.
Andy Reid has answered the question many times during his 13-plus years as the Eagles head coach: Why didn’t he run the ball more?
Sometimes the question is unfair. As any analyst worth his pocket-square will tell you, this is a passing league. If you can’t move the football through the air, chances are, you’re not competing for a playoff spot, let alone a Lombardi Trophy.
But other times, the question has merit. Today was one of those times. Michael Vick was in a funk, making mistake after mistake, going 29-for-56 (51.8 percent) and tossing four interceptions. He was sacked twice and hit 11 times, as the offensive line struggled throughout.
On the play before Michael Vick threw the game-winning touchdown to Clay Harbor, he nearly threw his fifth interception, but Browns linebacker L.J. Fort couldn’t make the play.
Did the Eagles quarterback feel lucky the game didn’t end in a loss right there?
“Oh man, yeah. I gotta get out of Cleveland,” Vick said. “I gotta get out of Cleveland.”
