May 1, 20242 yr Enjoy watching the highlight film from this draft class. I’m including undrafted RB Milton. Think he’s the compliment to Shipley. Just so much to be optimistic about with these guys.

If we can avoid collapsing and play solid consistent ball we can be better than last year. better RB and maybe Smith can win the slot start. New OC,so I hope he knows how to use Goedert correctly. I think we can compete with anyone. Just sayin'

Just so much to be optimistic about with these guys. Well, I'm happy we got some young talent in at RB. Perhaps we can score a usable #1 after Bark is done. Also glad to pick up A. Smith. I watched alot on him and think he will be a nice asset at slot for years to come. Mostly thrilled Howie took the plunge at DB. If these 2 work out(and I see no reason they won't except the transition may be harder for Mitchell) then Howie will know he can indeed draft DB's with a little less trepidation than before. I think that will give him a boost and it certainly would the fan base as far as getting players at any position. Still a little bothered by the Hunt pick. Still seems high to me,but he was on our radar and I hope he can be a BU at least as the season progresses.Overall very happy with the draft and adding even more picks next year. I am a bit higher on this team than some and what the "rankings" show. I think those rankings fail to understand how badly we used Goedert last year. if used correctly along with Smith we can compete with anyone. I think Mitchell and DeJean will show they are worthy of inheriting starting jobs next year and contribute also as this year moves along. We wanted go get younger and Howie has been doing that over the last few drafts. So he got what we all wanted. Moore should open up this offense and I am anxious to see what changes will be made on defense. Should be alot of fun to watch this team this year.
May 1, 20242 yr Author https://sports.yahoo.com/2024-eagles-undrafted-free-agent-231651346.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Once again we are really good at signing UDFA's. Some were even thought be round 5 picks which is excellent value
May 1, 20242 yr Author https://www.nfl.com/prospects/anim-dankwah/32004441-4e68-5228-354e-f29ba41ceed5 This guy sounds like a Mailata type project. One that with patience, will pay off as a solid BU to him in 2-3 years

He will need a good camp,but disagree with the above that he makes the final roster. PS with potential this year and maybe makes the 53 next. JMO as it will depend on how camp goes

Bigger concern for me is if we can get the pocket moved so Hurts can see over the big OL and attack the middle of the field easier. Looking at things the saints did for Brees or even KC with Mahomes. Really no excuse for why we can not utilize the middle of the field in the passing game plenty of teams have figured it out with shorter QBs

The quick slants and crossers…some pick plays.

I mean... you still have to have the QB see over the line... you are talking about routes that start wide, we throw it wide as they come towards the middle... BG is talking about hitting the receiver over the middle. That's dependent on the line of scrimmage...not so much the route.
May 1, 20242 yr Hurts is great at throwing those routes... the ones right up the middle, he seems to have trouble seeing.

May 1, 20242 yr 2 minutes ago, Bleedinggreen93 said: lol was my thought process when he mentioned slants We know Hurts is great at those...especially with AJ. But dude struggles to see right there over the middle. Some gimme plays. It is what it is... I struggle to dunk a basketball... some things need height, that's life. I like your idea of researching some concepts to move the pocket or just see what New Orleans did. But a big difference is Brees grew up passing the football... Hurts running. Much easier to develop as a passer ...when passing was the only reason you made the league. Brees needed all the little nuances from the start. Hurts...when in doubt, tuck and run...that's tough to overcome.

Kyler comes to mind not sure how well AZ is at throwing over the middle though. Brees just the only guys that comes to mind for shorter QBs that success all over the field

Looking at things the saints did for Brees or even KC with Mahomes. Really no excuse for why we can not utilize the middle of the field in the passing game plenty of teams have figured it out with shorter QBs Agreed, with a small difference, Hurts needs to move, within the pocket,sidesteps work, so he can see AROUND them and have clear passing lanes which is another drawback to the RPO because any commitment you make will be gone in 2.5 seconds and you are pretty much stuck behind the LOS either way. You can run from there or you are stuck behind your Oline trying to get the ball out. With the RPO,that freezes your Oline in place (but I'm uneducated and unaware,so what would I know?). Other teams mix the RPO in,not use it as their basic form of offense like we do
May 1, 20242 yr 6 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: Hurts needs to move, I mean hurts has that ability to move but as a play caller you won’t always have that so designing plays that aid the shorter QB or Bree’s should be something we look at. I was looking more so on what the player caller can do to aid us

I was looking more so on what the player caller can do to aid us Right,watch Brees and their O line. They used play/action alot more than the RPO. They had the RB to do it(Kamara). Now with Bark,I am hoping the OC can steer Hurts into more of that style and move away from the RPO some. Play action allows the O line to move around more. It's a very subtle difference,but as you watch them vs us you will see how those small differences offer throwing lanes. Of course after so many years Brees was also great at the deep timing routes and Hurts isn't there yet. I'm trying to explain it,probably not doing well,but if it's play action you can open up gaps like a RUN plays which offer a clear vision of sight for the QB to the receivers in the middle. The RPO though freezes your Oline because they have to stay back to guard that play as a possible QB run. So yeah watch Brees and see if you can spot it. I'm hoping this is what we can get Hurts to do. Bark offers that run threat we haven't had in awhile,even with Sanders

McAllister I think was the first RB for the saints then there was the meh years with Ingram before he got it going… Bush etc. But I do agree saints utilized PA well… but even without PA they moved the pocket really well they would roll Bree’s out quite often even without the PA.

Well they mostly always had the banger RB in the backfield no matter who it was. Brees and mahomes use those little side steps,Hurts needs to do that without automatically thinking if he moves sideways he has to run. He doesn't but in his mind the commitment has already been made. But once again the RPO freezes your Oline at the LOS
