Hey I'm not expecting anything to be fixed overnight, but at least great jockeys can recognize whatever the horse equivalent is to "a good Linebacker and Safety" is in this analogy.  

Who's picking the horses to run around out there, that's a whole nother problem the higher ups turn a blind eye too.

Exactly.

I like it.  Eagles in Brazil on a Friday is OK by me once or twice a decade.  I hope they play in Thailand when I move there in a few years.

Fridays are for High School football.  Saturdays are for College football.   Sundays are for NFL football.    Everything else is a money grab.

He was also super streaky. Looked like an all-pro QB one minute, and then a journeyman backup the next. The good Foles was really good, but the bad Foles couldn't keep a job on several teams.

Yup…to be fair to foles though, he got traded to a Jeff Fischer led Rams and the Jaguars.

Yep, that's the downside to what a lot of fans are asking Hurts to do. Staring down the barrel of the pass rush and letting it rip at the last possible moment is good for the offense, but bad for the QB's health. Purdy is also at risk of this as we've seen last year and almost again last week. 

I think there’s a bit of a dichotomy here…we want Hurts to stop bailing from clean pockets because he doesn’t possess the arm to make throws on the run consistently.  ON the other side of the coin we bang the table at keeping him healthy and stop running him into brick walls.

It’s not really a rebuilding year.  Comeback year maybe -  not a rebuild year though. 

Rebuild on defense started last year IMO. Rebuild of OL is a work in progress.

Should we assume the Brazil game in on Prime?

That's Spanish...

 

Kelce can do whatever he wants with retirement. I don't think his wafting decision is really impacting any of the moves the team is going to make. I'm sure Howie is being kept in the loop on Kelces thinking, but if he comes back thats one less position we have to worry about filling.

Speaking for all the posters in Europe, and Eagles game in Brazil double sucks.

It's the drizzling craps for an opener.  12 hour flight, on a Friday night for reasons... My thoughts are summed up as 🖕

Yes it is.  Did you watch this team end this last season?

We have a long way to go and it won’t be done in one year.

Nah.  If we remain healthy, we are (at the very least) a playoff team next season.   Probably much better if we improve - which I think we will.

The offense is built to be a top 3 unit with a competent coaching staff, the defense is one competent player at LB, S, and CB from being average. That's all you need anymore.

They're not far at all, this season sucked because the coaching was horrible and the defense didn't have talent at those three positions, particularly LB. Moore, whatever you may think of him, is easily a significant upgrade over whatever the F we just watched. I believe fangio can make this at least an average defense, it doesn't need to be any more than that.

We're happy to have you

Were the international games in London what drew you to the NFL? 

The games in Europe are a huge success.  Brazil…we will see.  Mexico City has pretty much been a bust because of the issues they’ve had.  Either way, for selfish reasons, I hate it.

Money grab?  High schools across the nation spend more on supporting their football teams than they do on science labs.  All of football from HS-College-Pro is a money grab.

Hurts has to process quicker and get the ball out quicker; his average time to throw for 2023 is back near the slowest in the league at 3.03 seconds, after he dramatically improved in 2022.  Part of that is inherent in being a mobile QB -- but whether you're a pocket passer like Andrew Luck or Carson Wentz, or whether you're a dual threat QB -- the QBs who take punishment are the QBs who hold the ball.

Having weapons like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Goedert and Swift should mean the ball is getting out and distributed on schedule.  Hurts needs to get back to that level of play.

Getting the ball out quicker is highly dependent on the play call/design (i.e. route combos, whether progression is long to short vs short to long, protection calls, etc). If we're going empty on 3rd and 7 without a receiver turning their head before their 5th step, the ball isn't gonna come out as quick as if we kept Goedert in to block on an RPO with Brown on a slant, and Smitty on a dig.
