Backing up what I’ve been talking about…DeJean needs the most development outside still.

What you talked about was that his agent was going to demand he play outside. Obviously at his elite level play as the nickel last year... the whole world can understand that his outside play would also have to be elite to be on par.

So is it really a great take ..or just an obvious statement that he would need more work outside in the zone?

facts and fangio's switch up on playing man & blitzing against the chiefs was huge. it had them off balance all game.

and as per usual with reid, he had no plan b.

Was it fact that the defense kept us in the Dallas game?? I mean Dallas scored every drive up until the red zone fumble by Sanders ...at that point the Eagles scored 24 points on 4 drives... then the weather. Nobody scored after the weather. .and one could say Lamb dropped passes instead of the defense being that good?

How would you spin that other than the offense keeping us in the game ???

definitely could've lost to the cheifs, but they still made enough plays.

slow starts to the offense aren't new under nick, that doesn't make them any less frustrating though.

the offense being a little less predictable would be nice.

Slow start vs Dallas...24 points in the first 4 drives....21 on the first 3?

We complained(or I did) about not scoring in the first 1/4,then I understood why. but we 're scoring in the first now. Vanilla plays are fine if you execute them. Seems Bark's usage has really been cut down. NP, just win and save him for the playoffs LOL. We are really missing Goedert,we need to look for better TE's 2's also. I suspect that will be a priority next off season

Barkley had 22 rush attempts?

Defense is bailing the offense bigly. The O needs to step it up

One change (don’t know how important it is) is that Patullo has done away with 1st Quarter scripts.

This goes in tandem with the one above.

This is what i don't understand... with Ham's idea that his agent is going to demand he goes outside?

Dude already made the top 100 list as a rookie. He is seen as a stud cover guy. The top paid CBs are name players... the highest paid slot CB...who is the 32nd highest paid CB... is who? I forget ...does anyone know? How many CBs made the top 100 list? How many CBs on yhe list were higher than DeJean? How many of these CBs are slot guys?

So which slot CBs should be paid more due to their level of play amongst the CB group as a whole? DeJean will be paid because he is seen as a stud player. He should get top 10 top 15 money if he continues along his path. Doesn't matter where he stands on the field, it matters if he makes plays

Yes, that 4th down was the QB sneak

I was going to say the TP is just a better version of the QB sneak

Offense kept us in the Dallas game. .let's be honest here.

Week 1 every team looks ragged. What matters is we tighten things up and get busy. We will. The fans expect it. Zadarius Smith is going to get better. He already showed us game 1 he can be a problem for opponents. Great move

Tough to judge any team week 1. New players,coaches,trying to get their agenda off the ground

Step it up!!

Yeah, avg is 20 over game over 2 games. 21.6 last year, so I was wrong. Just looked like less I guess. About the same usage, but his YPC is down to 3.7, but we have 5 tough games to start off with. 2 down 3 to go then we get a little break

I kind of like that. You adjust on the fly which we have all wanted us to do. Instead of 15 mins of plays by the book(which may or may not work) it seems like a nice change to see how the first series goes and go from there. I personally like that shift

But Booker.......

Patullo is a rookie play caller was going to be growing pains with him yet we have found a way to still be 2-0…. Don’t have to be perfect in September but we do need to see improvement as we progress through the season.

The question right now has to be can we get the passing game going? If we can get something going in the pass game will only aid our strong rushing attack.

Will add again think we see couple flags thrown on the tush push this week if we use it some wouldn’t count that as a gimmie 1st down or TD this week honestly might end up hurting us.

Last year we had penalty....took off 4 points in the playoff game.

It's another angry team out for revenge, so should be a physical battle.

I think a big difference in the Guard play .... last year a healthy Dickerson and Becton were physically dominant ... Dickerson not right yet and Steen isn't as physical in the run game.

No Wilson as a blocking WR...no FB ... Goedert out and no real blocking from Calcatera.

It's a lot of little things at this point that are short in the run game. Players matter, a little less from a bunch of blockers and it adds up.

This is an incredibly STUPID tweet. Teams aren’t deploying two high Safeties against only the Eagles. Two high Safeties are being deployed across the NFL (and college too) every weekend in practically every game. Hell, two high Safeties is one of the staples of Fangio’s D.

There is an AI of Hurts calling out Chris Jones... hilarious.
