Here's the problem, without Swift you have no running game worth a damn.

Not necessarily... need Cam back for starters.

McCaffrey hasnt missed a game yet. But that dude is like a freak of nature.

He will sooner or later he is already wearing down....  averaging 3.2 yards a carry over his last 3 games

Yes.  #62 should definitely contact Swift and have her pry some scouting info out of Travis.  We've got couple of weeks before we'll need it, but right now is the time to get started.

Using 65% potential for 100% health is a good trade.

Its a long season, I expect this to change and evolve as we get into the meat of the schedule and into the playoffs.

Cam doesn't ring a bell, who's that?

Injured RG. He's than the backup RG that's playing now.

Maybe not even that, which is extremely frustrating.

The guy is a weapon. His speed, vision, athleticism is off the charts and we're barely taking advantage of it. Using him just like an ordinary RB ie just handing it off is a huge waste.  

A good smart OC would come up with tons of creative plays for Swift, to get him into open space and do damage. But we don't have one....

Bring back the westbrook playbook.

Gotcha. I thought Opeta played well against Donald, he pretty much shut him down.

 

That's 65% more than we're getting out of Rashaad Penny

 

 

Just imagine if we didn't suddenly stop running the ball, dude would probably be topping this list.

 

 

I kind of feel like if the Eagles didn’t self bench Swift in the 2nd quarter they might have won this game by two scores. It wasn’t lost on me that most of the sacks given up by the Eagles in this game happened while Gainwell was in and Swift was out. 

The 2nd quarter play calling was wonky. In sloppy weather the Eagles abandoned the run. Which led to Hurts holding onto the ball way too long waiting for receivers who were not getting open. They were better in the 2nd half when they recommitted to running the ball.

I like the screen passes they started throwing Swift in the 4th quarter.  Why it took that long to make that adjustment is beyond me, but I want to see more of that.  Jalen has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long and we need a way to slow down the pass rush.
