The best way I can characterize his play is smart. He's not making bad decisions where he throws (maybe excepting that pass that Derwin should have picked). When he does throw in a tight window, he's placing the ball well, where either our guy has a play on the ball or nobody does.

He's not airing it out, but I think that's because we haven't needed him to. He's shown that he can chuck it deep and put the ball right where it needs to be, and that bolsters confidence in fans and players alike.

He's not intimidated by the opposition. He's calm, prepared, and grounded. You can tell that he and Doug are working in harmony, and the offense is clicking.

Where it seems to me that Philly thrives on the big chunk plays and vertical game to do their damage, we seem to be methodical, sustained drives that take what they're given. I think that's why this Sunday is so intriguing - which system proves superior? Do either team shift their plans and show that they can win in multiple ways? That will go a long way to shaping expectations for both teams as the season continues on.

Yeah, I think he still gets that adrenaline surge when the game starts. Gradually it mellows and he settles into the game very well.
