Yet A.J. is actually fifth in the NFL with 84 yards per game, so he’s made the most of the targets he’s gotten in the 10 games he’s played. Brown is averaging 12.7 yards per target, and to put that in perspective, it’s the highest by an Eagle since the NFL began tracking targets in 1992, by far highest in the NFL this year and 9th-highest by any WR on record. He’s also got a catch percentage of 73 percent, 13th-highest of 67 receivers who’ve been targeted at least 50 times. Brown missed those three games early in the year, but he’s still on pace for 1,170 yards, which is wild. His 17.4 per-catch average is 2nd-highest in the league

Roob’s stat

Concerning the Oline I believe Mailata has been kicking some butt this season. He missed like four games…but otherwise he’s been really good.

I’m just the one that understands it applies across the board. Instead of risking a tipped ball or what not he didn’t throw when he was about to …seeing the LB(think two of the three were that guy) raise up his arms or even jump up to block the passing lane. A few times the Oline got beat. A few times don’t think the WR were on the same page with Hurts. All these little things spread around add up in a single game. Hurts had a bad same as well. I’ve said that…but will make sure I state it again here. Just isn’t a QB issue alone though here. Everything has to work together for a successful passing play. Not just a blame the QB situation. 

Again...yes a few times this and a few times that...  but only takes a few times where the other guys executed perfectly where Hurts is the problem...where the difference is an easy TD vs having to punt.

When the QB messes up things get magnified.  The play call was perfect, the blocking was perfect, the WR was open...on those plays ...which happened multiple times vs Carolina, our QB has to make those throws.

I’m not even going to challenge or debate you on this. Just was pointing out how there were several plays where each one had something not right. Hurts labeled it synchronization. I’ve known this whole time you were getting what you wanted in Siri’s approach here: setup perfect to Hurts Hate. Trust me…I get it. Exactly why I’ve preached to grow and develop Moore’s O the whole time speeding up the process instead of stunting it by going backwards.

Yes... can I concede there were plays where it wasn't the QBs fault.

I concede 10000 times.  You still haven't admitted one time there were east plays that Hurts missed.  That was the conversation...because that was the issue with AJ.  

Not a persona beef off the field...nothing going on behind the scenes....strictly what was taking place on the field

But tomorrow... I think you get your wish... I think we see Hurts throw an Interception...because you will see him want to throw to AJ after all the scrutiny this week.  I'm sure our will take that as a sign of learning Moore's offense...he needs turnovers for you to see growth.

Meanwhile, I thought we saw growth and maturity these last 9weeks when he took care of the ball.   Stopped playing hero ball after getting paid.  The hero ball got the last guy out of town... I think the organization jumped ahead of the problem with Hurts.  

Maturity is knowing how to put the team first.   Not playing for your stats or an MVP.  Knowing your limits.   

I felt we saw that from Hurts.  That to me was the quality I liked in 2022, before he was paid. Things changed after that.  Now that he let's the other guys shine and just steers the ship, the team looks 100 times better.

He was very hit or miss this season. Like pancaking making his defender look like a little kid…or got beat very easily and quick. Whether you noticed it or not(obviously you didn’t) he was struggling to adapt.

My commebt was on any conversation about taking Becton out of the lineup.  I haven't seen that all season...anywhere.  

The things I read were all about how coming to Philly and switching to G has changed his career. The conversation I've seen is about keeping him past this year. 

Never once did I see or hear anyone talk about getting him out of the lineup. 

Has nothing to do with my opinion or seeing his play. Strictly talking about fan and media conversations.

Things aren’t looking good at all unfortunately right now with Hurts. He never was afraid to pull the trigger before. That’s worse than the rest. 

Things are looking great with him winning.  That's his job.  He never looked good as a QB.  He runs well...that's his skill. He took care of the ball well in 2022. Doing it well now.  Not a pretty player.. but he competes. 

I guess for me , I'm good because I never thought highly of Hurts QB skills.  So winning by using his legs and taking care of the ball, is great for me. 

I'd rather the team shine...and keep the QB grounded.

There are many fans that are the opposite also. But Hurts hasn’t been all caught up on stats so much. Like I’ve always maintained…stats just aren’t everything. But we need to get our team to their best possible by the end. That’s where stats are what gets in the way. Like 2 games to start the season and turnover stat causes you and Siri to abandon our teams growth. But then now here at the end…seems like so many more are beggining to understand what I’ve been talking about.

Lol... I don't think anyone understands things you talk about. 

But EVERY fan should prioritize winning over a single player.

You don’t see a huge dropoff between Reddick and Huff? Clearly and obviously. But we are moving forward. Unleash Jalyx!

Reddick does have a half sack this year.  Making a huge impact on that Jets defense.

The Reddick from 2 years ago was a stud.  Unfortunately it seems neither himself nor you seem to have moved on from 2022.     

Without a little humility, his career will be over.  Excellent move from Howie not to invest any more money into Reddick and get what should be an early 3rd round pick for him.

That’s what he did was roll…but a few times they did block the throwing lane.

You don't have to roll, a few steps sideways IN the pocket works. Brees was small,but he excelled at this.2 steps in any direction sideways put the QB in another gap entirely

He’s a good LB. We don’t have the need this second. I kind of actually understand his thinking. He’s clearly starting caliber LB. Niners have such a great relationship with Greenlaw though. We have Dean playing through tough injury right now. I have strong belief in Trot as well. 

SO if you have a job,you can just call in and say I'm not working this week? I hope you got the car where the guy on the assembly line decided not to put your head bolts in cause he "didn't want to work that day" Maybe Hurts can decide he doesn't feel like playing a game this year too?

Rams are looking real strong. They are a team that started slow….but playing real competitive ball right now. Be your best at the end…is what matters most…as long as you make the playoffs that is. Rams I believe are the top no playoff team at the moment just behind those Commanders. Very easily could be seeing them this postseason.

They were missing Nacua and Kupp a few games.

Well with Siri not having a rhyme and reason …called a scheme…where to go with the ball wasn’t so cut and dry. That’s why I’ve placed so much hope in Moore. It’s just not that simple like you’re trying to make it. Understanding the O …is what gives the keys to the QB to anticipate. 

Is Hurts a rookie?

I mean…they are just rolling with knowing how to win. Doinking a game winning field goal through the uprights….is just the season they are having. Mahomes hasn’t looked that great the last two regular seasons. AR has so clearly been trying to develop him. Surprisingly having a tougher go at it than I would have expected. Seemed like he got through to him in winning that SB against us. But he seemed to just forget that and regress. But doubt you’ve seen this…with Mahomes.

Missing WR's and RB's had no bearing on Mahomes?

But what you aren’t getting is it isn’t just about motion….its about how everything fits together and applies to be executed at a high level.

Hurts can handle the beginner Moore O,so he's not going to grasp the upper ecelon stuff either

16 hours ago, cunninghamtheman said:

I posted it last season. Top O minds utilize motion very high percentage. Siri used motion like 12 percent of the time. Very very wide gap between Siris use of motion and even the 31st team. Huge gap…pro O and Siri

He can't use pro O because he has a college QB

Far from had the view of Hurts can do no wrong. I just feel like I have a more thorough understanding of the whole situation that’s been unfolding for years here.

The situation is we have never had a losing season under Siri

He dressed, that means he intended to play ... refusing to go in, that doesn't fly at that point.

Another Reddick, career suicide.

The situation is there is no way Hurts is or can be the greatest QB in franchise history because he lacks the basic QB skills of reading the defense and making some necessary off timing throws.

He can win at the highest rate due to his supporting cast,  particularly at WR where no other Eagles QB has come close to having the two we have now locked in for any extended period of time. 

And he can win by doing what he does best, protect the ball and run.

 But we just have these horrible terrible absolute worst O minds lol 

But worried for today that we are going to try and force the passing game against the Steelers hope I’m wrong but we shall see.

I do hope we figure some things out with our passing game today just don’t want us to go all pass happy stay with our strength the ground game 

Was checking on my WR draft pick if Q wasn’t available…how he was doing. Brian Thomas 851 yards and 6 TDs…not bad on such a struggling team
