Hurts is the guy that took way too much punishment on the play frankly.

Ridiculous for any coach to expose your Franchise QB so much

Clearly coached Hurts the most on avoiding the hits. Told him to not concern himself with finishing and making gains with his legs.

Avoid hits in space running….but directly lineup against all their D testing off in a scrum on him.

I think Dickerson, Mailata and Hurts personally. 

We know you think Hurts for everything.  They has it described as Hurts being the passenger and allowing himself to be pushed in ...just bury the head behind Dickerson and allow the guys behind to push.

Hurts has traits better to complete that play than anybody we’ve really ever seen before. He’s stout little brick of a QB that keeps his legs moving, guys jumping on him trying to effect him without good access to bring him down is so very difficult. Defender can’t just reach around a block and one armed sort of drag Hurts to the ground.

Agree ...Hurts has traits for a QB sneak.  However...on this play the Eagles use and how Stoutland designs it... Dickerson getting the initial jump and Mailata finishing the push on the angle.. is what makes the play.  

The placing of the ball carrier behind the LG and LT who block on the angle pushing inside is what makes the play...with the guys finishing from behind.

Was a great video segment on the play.

I am an offensive minded fan and coach, and even I hate the rule change to eliminate the hip drop tackle. Hell, the defenders already can’t do 1,000 things. Let’s make it impossible to stop an offense from gaining 10 yards on 4 plays. I bet scoring goes up 5 points/game just from this one rule change. Ridiculous.

I also think the need to find a kickoff play that will work with no injuries has become a CIRCUS! Hell, put the ball on the 25 and play ball. 

Now we have another guy back there who can squat a ton in Bark

Hybrid KO this yr, may actually have to watch them now. Increases the need for good KO returners, estimating 60-70% of KO's will be returned now

This is a very tough rule here. It does appear they’ve identified this tackle for causing a high rate of injury. Hopefully it will only be enforced on aggression situations. Fine if they get rid of the defender throwing his legs up in the air to really drop tackle hard. Anything more than that? No idea….

Is any guy flying by a ball carrier but grabbing to tackle a penalty?

Love him,but I have Beebe in round 2 and I think we shoot for the DT in Murphy or Newton

I miss the return game. It made the game more fun. Move the damn ball back to the 20(or 15 even with todays kickers)

It’s being talked about now if CB Quinyon Mitchell from Toledo could be a top ten pick. It seemed slim chance he’d still be around at 22. Now it appears it’s reached none.

"His ball placement,” said Parker after signing his contract. "He puts the ball where it needs to be and where a receiver can go up and get it.”

Fortunately we signed Rodgers and Campbell who both return pretty well. Maybe finally a use for Allen? If teams can't cover, what's to prevent them to still kicking it thru the EZ?

What's he supposed to say :"Hurts sucks?" C'mon now

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10114300-6-under-the-radar-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-will-go-higher-than-expected  There's my pick Malik. I told you but you never listen. Is he a JJ,no not close,but he's a fine pick at 120. he would be a great addition

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024?pos=DL My guess is one of these top 2. Murphy you may need to move for,newton may be there at 22. IDK how big a difference there is,but one of these,then Beebe to shore up the RG spot long term

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024?pos=CB They show Tampa going at 36(ranked at 58),but  if he holds until 53 we need to grab him. So my mock is still intact although I am playing with the 6 RB choice

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024?pos=RB RB's are getting shuffled at pick 6. I still like Cory Schrader. Kid gives you all he's got every play. Love players like that. he is rough no doubt,but there is no need to play him. He can sit,learn and get better in a year or 2. I would give him a few snaps 1 or 2 per game in garbage time.(if there is any of that) no sense risking Bark when the game is won

Aj,Smith,Parker,Malik, Goedert, Spann-Ford as the new TE2, Bark,Gains, Schrader. Hurts needs to locate these people and we need more than 3 passing plays 😆

30 years ago today...  Lurie bought the team from  the guy in France.
