Game Summaries
Week 6 at WAS - Young came in for two plays during Vick's absence and let Eagles' fans know just how worried they should be about the potential of injury. Inexplicably with the Eagle backed up deep in their own territory, Andy Reid called for back to back pass plays upon Young's entrance and neither went well. The first, Young dropped back, took one look downfield and then started looking for a place to run. On the second he rolled right and threw a pass right into the stomach of Redskins DB DeAngelo Hall. The worst part was that Maclin had badly beaten Hall, Young's pass was just terribly off target.Week 11 at NYG - Playing for the injured Michael Vick, Young's first start as an Eagle was not an easy one. Playing on the road against a very talented and aggressive Giants' defensive front, Young was off on many of his throws early, looking his best on a couple of safe throws to TE Brent Celek. On the Eagles' second possession, Young had WR DeSean Jackson wide open down the left sideline picking on rookie CB Prince Amukamara in his first NFL start, but Young waited too long to release the throw and underthrew Jackson badly, allowing Amukamara to catch up and make the easy interception. Young actually had a few early passes that should have been intercepted, but got away with only 2 first-half INTs and a few harmless incompletions to go with the TD pass to WR Steve Smith and the resulting 10-3 lead. Many of his throws were low and uncatchable, but when he was able to take advantage of the time his protection gave him, he was on target and delivered killer blows to the Giants' defense down the stretch. He did throw another interception when the Eagles were in the red zone, but that was one of the last mistakes he would make, underthrowing WR Riley Cooper in the left corner into the hands of S Aaron Ross. As the game went on, he seemed to become more and more calm and confident. Then, when the game was on the line, Young showed the leadership, poise, and talent that made him a first-round draft choice. Young demonstrated great pocket-sense and found ways to avoid the rush with his feet and deliver precision passes to his receivers. What was uncanny, given the talent and commitment to rushing the passer of the Giants' defensive front, was that with a few exceptions, Young had all day to throw and used that time to pick apart the Giants' secondary. At no point was this more evident than on the 18-play 80-yard game-winning drive, during which he completed passes to 6 different receivers, capping it off with an 8-yard TD to Cooper.
Week 12 vs NE - Young threw for a career high 400 yards but the statline doesn't tell the whole tail. A quarter of his yards game in garbage time at the end of the game and he and his receivers did not look like they were in synch. He suffered from a myriad of dropped passes throughout the game, including a pair of dropped passes by DeSean Jackson that should have been touchdowns. Young looked a little scattered at times as well, hesitating and sometimes appearing to throw with a less than complete motion. He was unable to take full advantage of a secondary which ran out a wide receiver (Julian Edelman) as a nickel back. Young is doing all right holding down the fort until Michael Vick comes back, though at this rate you have to wonder if risking further harm to Vick is worth it when Young is serviceable and the Eagles are out of the playoffs.
Week 13 at SEA - Game started out rocky with an interception thrown to Kam Chancellor on the second play of the game, miscommunication between Young and Riley Cooper seemed to be the problem but still an ill advised throw. Young's evening could've been better narrowly missing a long touchdown to Cooper in the second quarter sliding in the pocket keeping his eyes down field connecting an under thrown ball to to the rangy receiver for a gain of 46 yards getting tackled at the two yard line. At times tonight Young would have fans feeling that he was really getting comfortable in the pocket only to get careless with ball placement combined with lethargic reads. His receiver core didn't really do much to help him out, running wrong routes and letting balls slip through their hands for interceptions. The worst play of the night happened late in the fourth quarter driving deep into Seahawk territory, while being pressure VY attempted to dump the ball off to LeSean McCoy who was clearly covered by David Hawthorne resulting in a pick six sealing the game and the Eagles season. Bad mechanics and not going through progressions efficiently enough caused some late throws making bad results for the back up signal caller.
Week 15 vs NYJ - Young came in late to relieve Vick and was sacked three times, fumbling once but recovering his own ball. He was pulled for Mike Kafka.
