Dude... what prediction...of any salary cap issues have you given pertaining to the Eagles?

You still don't get how the way they do contacts is the right way.   

A bad player decision...is not the same as a bad contract decision.   Salary cap management is contracts.   The Eagles do that well.   

ALL of the Eagles issued stem off of picking wring players...not how they do their contracts. 

Dallas gets the right players... they don't handle their contracts correctly. 

You keep pointing out their success  being similar to our regular season withi the division etc.   Right...because we have issues picking players and they have issues knowing how to pay them.

If one team would figure out their weakness... then it wouldn't be close.   Which the example is how when we actually get the right players it's not close.  They can't finish the puzzle because they can't sign the right free agents because they manage their cap poorly.

Their cap management will restrict them...always.  We can be the blind squirrel getting lucky on personnel decisions.  Our cap management gives us the opportunity to swing...making contact is a different issue.  But at least we can take swings.

Salary cap involves player decisions. Picking the right players signing to the right numbers. The combination. You once again bring up Dallas….like there is one person in the world that has agreed with their contract negotiations. Once AGAIN you try to bring Dallas as the bar of how…look how great Rosie does compared to the worst at it. The cowboys payment methods while at least being mostly on the right players is the lowest bar to compare to. When are you going to stop using the lowest bar for Rosie to rise above acting like he’s brilliant because at least he isn’t the worst. But you know what…at least Jerruh played football. He’s a football guy. No shocker the difference between the big football guy and the guy who never played football in his life on player decisions. Obvious! Like most all of it. I’m not a legend…I just keep pointing out the very obvious. But some how here that seems to really stand out….many times alone….almost always in the minority opinion at the least.

Your point is Jerruh does contracts like McDonalds …look how great this Five Guys burger is. When all along I’m eating steak at Flemings Steakhouse wondering why you want fries with that?

If the O playcaller calls a good or great play which guy should the QB be throwing to? First read.

If the QB reads the D correctly presnap which guy should he throw the ball to? First read. 

So the goal is to throw the ball to the first read….by the playcaller and the QB doing theirs jobs well.

 

 

 

 

If your first read is covered-2nd read(except for Hurts)  If your 2nd read is covered-3rd read(except for Hurts) seeing a pattern yet? Just because you read a D(except for Hurts) doesn't mean he will give you said window C'mon now!!!!

Watch Jalen Hurts presser. It was exact quote from him.

So he was talking about himself in the 3rd person?

"So that’s exactly what makes it different. The X’s and O’s, the lines on the paper, they may very well be what they’re supposed to be but how I coach and how I detail these routes, how I coach the quarterback, what I want his timing to be, where I want him looking, where I want his eyes. Are receivers reading routes? Are they not reading routes? Are there alerts on this? Are there checks and adjustments built in on this? Or is there something that someone has to do, that the quarterback has to do? That’s what makes a system a system.” 
 Quote from Hurts figured I’d share

This sounds like something the QB coach would say

Read that quote again. It sounds like the QB coach. why would Hurts speak in the 3rd person??? Makes no sense unless he said "here's what coach told me" except that part was left out

Now it’s fake news to say Hurts didn’t throw to his second, third and even fourth reads. Rewatch the games again. You can say he didn’t find every most open receiving option. That’s fair. Happens every game with every QB. That’s football. You want to say he failed more than most great QBs should? You at least could defend that position as he could have been seeing them at a better rate. But he actually bought so much extra time so very often going through progressions. He went through the first two reads….they weren’t open….then had to escape pressure…allowing the plays to develop more…then threw. It was a big theme of our O last season. The commentators joked about it. Said they don’t know the play per se….but know that Hurts will escape pressure then hit his guy downfield with the throw. Like over and over again. We ran RPOs, Screens and long developing pass plays…with some straight running plays mixed in. Some Goedert YAC Creation plays added in. Hurts has been excellent at the big plays. Every coach loves creating big plays. But they just abused it. So how do you effect the big plays if you are D? Blitz and drop your guys back deep. It’s like our O didn’t have WR making reads almost at all to break off on hot route adjustments. Known heavy blitz was coming…whole stadium knew it…yet receiving targets still on long developing routes. So what was the coaches answer to this? They really didn’t have any answers to it…only really one thing they gave to counter it….throw a bubble screen. So as things went along we saw our opponents were reading basically these two options. Deep….or screen. Watch every single Quick Slant that we ran. Success every single time. Goedert crushed them on his Quick Out. You can see them in the highlights…worked every time. But those highlights of the quick plays …are cataloging every single time that those plays were called. 

1 read and run is Hurts game. it's time for him to step up-end of discussion

On the radio the one guy made a legit point about why Siri didn't get fired. 

The idea was Howie / Lurie couldn't fire Siri after picking his coordinators last year, who did an awful job.    Not after the success of the previous teams that had Siri’s guys at coordinators. 

So he stays and the coordinators get replaced with Siri having influence on the coordinators. 

Apparently Moore was Siri’s first choice this year while Fangio was a favorite among all of them. 

Siri will be on the hot seat if this team can't compete

Salary cap does not involve player decisions.   You pick the wrong player that's bad talent evaluation...that's coaches.... not the needs with the pocket protectors crunching the numbers. 

If your GM runs the whole show .  It's not his contract team that made the mistake.. that's the personnel dept. 

For Dallas... the guys wearing the pocket protectors are not doing the contracts correctly ..after Jerry's guys who pick the players get them in.

While it may be all under the salary cap to you ...

The mistake of picking the wrong player to give money to... is different than incorrectly paying the right player.

Except the pattern was more going through reads that weren’t open yet on long developing patterns and Hurts bought the extra time to go through more and longer reads. You need to watch the games man.

Well not your fault if you can’t listen to the presser. I apologize if I came off as anything less that trying to be informative. But it’s coming across as your almost getting there to what Hurts is laying out there telling you.

  The alerts. The receiver read. The QBs eyes. Checks and adjustments. This is what makes an offensive system.

Hurts is telling you NOW under Moore we have what can actually be referred to as a system….for a change. Listing off what Coach Doug is teaching to run the plays. Explaining the difference from previously just getting the play written on paper…having plays called….to now being in an actual system. At first I was thinking he was comparing to last season only maybe….but really think he’s talking about his time under Siri. Been missing the system. Not just first, second, third read scramble to avoid the rush and run or pass. Details to each playcall according to the D being faced.

Not at all end of discussion. Trying to explain to you how I’m reading his words is he’s telling you much of the reasoning of the why of what you want to see from him and our O is what is being given the opportunity now…in an offensive system. The details within the playcalls that Kellen’s system brings to the table. Rhymes and reasons for all these details from every man of the O unit ….all working for a purpose.

Gotta expect some kind of learning curve here though. Year two…three can be evolved much further in this system with this group of talented players. But more short term is just not expecting a finished master piece week one. Very unrealistic.

You can’t put together a salary cap controlled team of 53 players without both considerations of player choices hand and hand based on pay.

Again....you have 5 players you know you want to keep...there is zero doubt.  5 studs. 

That part is complete..no argument  

Now it comes time to pay them...

You have the Eagles  " pocket protector squad"   and you have the Dallas guys.   Which team does a better job?

The salary cap / contract part comes AFTER the personnel department identifies the players.

Once again for the billionth time you compare to the cowboys…very low bar. But how often do i bring up putting together that Championship Roster Puzzle. You just aren’t grasping how both sides have to be completed together. You only can think in singular steps. One player….at one cap hit. It’s 53 players under the salary cap number that wins a title. That’s the job. Player evaluation teams(college, pro….)  have to come together with the analytics teams while all coming together with the calculator contractual expert teams. All these guys report to the GM.

Compare any team you want.   Your complaint is simply player selections. 

You want to know the perfect example to drive this home.   2011. Dream Team.  

2 billion of cap space....they didn't look to improve the LB or S spot at all.   Had zero to do with cap management...because they could have signed Ray Lewis, Navarro Bowman, and any other top LB....and it wouldn't have done anything to their cap.  

Player decisions....zero to do with cap!

Philadelphia undefeated so far in international games in 2024!
