Backup quality CB. Not starter quality. He was/is excellent in his positioning, but has poor/very poor ball skills. He rarely turned to look for/locate the ball, and as a result receivers with good ball skills would successfully make the catch despite The good defensive positioning.

He was what he was. The videotape doesn’t lie.

I read he is starting(for got were he went)

They possibly could be grooming Willie Lampkin for that role long term. He has to rehabilitate his injury first though.

I'm sure Patullo had a few plays lined up for BVS, so that was an unwelcome shift in the game plan

It's week 1,with the 1's not the 2.s and 3's now. Takes a little time to see things gel now that you know who is on the team and who isn't. You expect a spit polished O game plan week 1?? HAHAHAHAHAHA. IDK how you allow your #1 WR to get 8 yards. Hurts needs to find these guys

He found DG rather consistently. The swing pass to Shipley was solid play calling and execution. As was the deep pass to Dotson. The Cowboys cornerbacks did an excellent job covering AJ and Devonta. They came to play.

Maybe Granson in a FB/TE2 role. Seems capable enough

From what I read the consensus is Ship won't be out long,so IDK if we bother bringing in another RB as long as we have Estime

Looked really bad to me. Like they had a great plan on predicting our O fairly consistently. Terrible O gameplan and adjustments. What I saw was pretty much the Hurts just street ball make it happen in unfavorable situations. Unsustainable! Need some kind of actual O plan this season…or things aren’t going very far.

Really bad is an overstatement, but it definitely didn’t look as good as what Patullo called in the first two Preseason games.

Part of the problem was that the long lightning delay really affected the Offensive Line, as well as giving the Cowboys’ D-Line plenty of rest. As a result the typical "wear down” that we saw over and over again in 2024 4th Quarters wasn’t there. The delay clearly helped both Defenses.

You ignore the impact of the lightning delay. That is foolish.

Game shocker-S FL beating the Gators 18-16. game winning kick by Gramatica. Should recognize that name lol

Seemed like a very wide opinion amongst many Eagles fans. Pretty easy call ..I thought.

Pretty easy if you ignore his subpar ball skills. He was a good coverage CB, but deficient in achieving PBUs.

"The Eagles have rushed for 145 yards before the game entered a weather delay. The delay can offer Shipley time to return, but they might not need to rush him back. With Hurts and Barkley leading the two-headed rushing attack, Shipley offered an important third dimension to the Eagles’ attack." With a 10 day off span he should be fine to suit up for KC

You demanded perfection in the newly created O from Moore week one last season. Yet not doing the regurgitated O from last year now. No consistentcy.

No, no one did in Week One. And the changes made after Week Four weren’t because of the fans. They were initiated by the O-Line, led by Lsne Johnson, then presented to Stoutland, who signed on, and then presented to Moore, who agreed to them and gave the go ahead to implement them.

We dumped Kenyon Green again. Don’t know what they are up to with this player. Seems like he’s cruising along strictly on draft status.

Probably Howie working his customary game to retain 20 players on a 17 man Practice Squad. Even though Green, and Rick’s and APR were only on the PS for part of the week they all get paid a full week’s pay.

He played a great game,I already said that before. But he needs to find our star WR's

If one looks at the videos the beats have posted, the star WRs weren’t getting open because of the coverage the CBs and Safeties were bracketing those star WRs with. That is why Hurts went to Goedert so often. He was 19 for 23, and I believe all 4 incompletions were throw aways rather than targets. Bottom-line he consistently found receivers.

Or Hurts just made the decision it was easier to hog and run the ball himself

Hurts took what the cowboys Defense gave. Orlovsky does a good job of showing why Hurts ran the ball, and why the decision to run was the right decision.

38th highest paid CB... is Rodgers. 32 teams have a #1 CB...then Rodgers would be paid the 6th highest #2 CB

I don’t believe the issue was money. The issue was performance. The opposing receivers were making too many catches even though Rodgers was in very good position. He never learned how to turn back toward the LOS and locate the ball OR to read the receiver ‘s eyes and know when the ball was about to arrive.

Patullo and Siri been here a part of this o the whole time….so of course this is just consistent.

How could you have watched that game and thought differently?

How specifically would you change the game plan if you were calling the plays?

You mean the winningest Record in Eagles franchise history?

Only coach in NFL history to, in his first four seasons, go to the Playoffs four times AND to the Super Bowl twice. That has never ever been done in NFL history by anyone other than Sirianni.

Prior to the weather break Thursday night

Each team drove the ball and scored on EVERY POSSESSION... until MILES SANDERS FUMBLED. Which was also a drive into our red zone.

AFTER the weather break.... nobody scored a point. Idk... for the complainers who don't understand football is a momentum and a psychological sport where you get in rhythm... maybe they can't grasp the simple concept of what occurred Thursday night.

Perhaps watching some more film on Southwest Appalachian Tech State is needed?

Pain killing shots and muscle relaxants wear off as well when you have a huge delay like that.

That 145 yards is a bit overstated. The swing pass to Shipley was credited as a 20 yard run.

Hewould be brought in pretending like he’s an asset to any question. This has Rosie written all over it. Rodgers price tag was very reasonable.

I think Fangio was preoccupied with dealing with the absence of Carter. He was devising a new game plan on the fly.

I hope he switches up to a more matchup based coverage scheme this season. This was an obvious plan of attack against us. Probably just too much confidence in Adooree…lead to this. Been assuming the switch to Bennett was the call. Maybe it will be much more obvious after that film of week one. Wouldn’t know it wouldn’t be

Given the success Fangio and the Eagles had using Zone last year, why do you prefer matchup (Man) to Zone? It is almost impossible to disguise coverages in Man, but extremely easy to disguise coverages in Zone. Don't you want the Defense to have the advantage of surprise. You constantly advocate for that from the Offense. Whyn the double standard?
