Siri couldn’t shove Gainwell in front of that anymore. Always was very obvious to everybody else the talent gap between Swft and Gainwell. And Swift had injury history... the season is 17 games... it's not a video game, you seem to forget this.

Last year the whole idea " Swift has never been healthy the whole year, the Eagles can't force him the ball too often...etc" You watch the first game and see what happened? I don't think the plan was ever to give any one of them the serious workload. Swift with 229 carries... in 16 games... 14.3 per game... I don't think they planned on giving him more. Where they missed out was the other 70-80 carries from RB 3. To me this caused the QB1... who we all know needs the running game to max out his style of game... he passed too much and the offense wasn't as good. Barkley should carry more of a single load... so that should eliminate as much need for RB3... but I still think that's the best way to do it, using all 3. Some games we should run close to 40 times... I'm not in love with Barkley doing it 35 times and another guy 5... gotta take some away from Barkley by using RB3. A fresh RB 3, even if just one drive per half and two or three carries in a row.

Hubbard beat out Sanders.. the system was football. Hubbard is a better football player than Sanders. Sanders is done... we don';t need to talk about him anymore. No longer the Eagles problem, on the field or in the locker room.

Seems pretty clear when you make a statement about” in what world could Hubbard beat out any starting RB?” I then point out how very closely statistically he stacked up to our Pro Bowl RB Swift. Yet he played on a terrible team. Not sure whom else can’t understand that thinking besides you? Seems like I just very obviously pointed out the gaping hole in your statement.

Yet he played on a terrible team. Not sure whom else can’t understand that thinking besides you? Seems like I just very obviously pointed out the gaping hole in your statement. How were they close in stats....Swift and Hubbard... 902 vs 1049... and Hubbard had 9 more carries... % and yards per carry its not close. Swift smoked Hubbard. Hubbard smoked Sanders. Move on from Sanders...take the L here...you called it wrong saying he has special talent. He runs through wide open holes...that's it.
May 28, 20242 yr Lol....it's close... 239 for 902 = 3.78. 228 for 1049 = 4.6. More than 0.8 yards per carry over 230 carries... that's a big difference. But No Mas ...the TDs... wonder why Swift's TDs were only 5?? Couldn't be the tush push... lol. The moral of the story....we have the only Penn State RB we need. Move on.

I think he can. I had him as the 1/2 top SLOT guys. He just needs to be reliable. He can play special teams as he grows. Paris will start,we all know that. Seems a common theme was bringing in guys that were good at their respective spots but also had ST experience. I thought that was good planning for these new rules(I already hate). But shows Howie is ahead of the curve. I don't like the new rules on paper.I suppose I need to see it happen live.

Ball goes into the end zone...get it at the 30. More importantly, I thought the rule is nobody moves until the ball is caught within the zone... so I'm trying to think what advantage would there be using 2 guys? Especially if one of them can't move until the ball is caught? I was under the impression that we had to use 1 returner with the other 10 lining up on the 25?

May 29, 20242 yr So with the rules... 1. A ball kicked into the end zone or out of it....results in a touchback to the 30 yard line. 2. But a ball that lands in the "landing zone " between the 20 and the goal line and then proceeds to roll into the end zone... the touchback will be placed at the 20. With that... and being that both guys lined up within the landing zone can move at any time. I would think using 2 returners makes the most sense. The kickoffs don't need hang time... they can line drive one that lands inside the 20 and goes into the end zone ... almost like scoring a goal in soccer... I would assume the idea is to protect against the touchback at the 20. And also an advantage having a blocker or potential lateral that can move ASAP.
May 29, 20242 yr I imagine we see more kickoffs that are line drives just to make them more difficult to handle....especially without hang time being a benefit.

My thinking was along the lines of screwy weird quirky kicks that are hard to handle. Some kind of hard line drive being a real possibility.

So then do the guys lined up to block all hold their hands up to make this approach more difficult? Wonder what the rules are surrounding that?
