So wouldn’t they deserve the top coaches we can get hold of?

I was a big fan of the early McNabb.   But as he got older I got this sense of that he was no longer really trying to win...it was more " I just need it to be set up where everyone agrees its not my fault when we lose"

As I read your posts...it's the same feeling I get with Hurts for you.     

This guy has an embarrassment of riches of talent around him.... you really just need to sell yourself on this idea that it just can't be his fault if anything goes wrong.    It's really a lot of work that you put into it.  Just seems exhausting.

You know pretty much the opposite of what you’re saying. Not just me…..it was exactly our ‘O Scheme.” Multiple tv commentators said this about what our O was about to do.

I haven't seen any comments yet during the 2024 games with our current offense.

This should be our first tunnel song

I'm expecting a completely different looks on both sides of the ball. The revamped D and how these awesome new athletes will be used and perform as Howie breaks tradition TWICE in the same draft. On O, I don't care what Ham says,this O is as potent as any I have seen in recent memory and that is league wide for me. There is one guy who needs to step it up and we all know who that is. This roster would even make ME look good. Air this ball out along with a top RB who can kill you every time he touches the ball. Rook mistakes are expected,but there is no question this is one of the most talented teams we have had in quite some time. I'm more than fine with Moore as OC,but I guess being ranked #2 isn't enough for some. Oh well too bad,he is our OC and I'm fully behind him and I believe he will make this team fun to watch as we should be unpredictable with the bevy of weapons Hurts has at his disposal. The D may not be stellar out of the gate. They should get better every game as they get on the same page.Once that happens,I see no team that can stop us. No one talks about Huff,but he can be extremely disruptive and I believe we see more stunts and Blitzes than usual. As a fan,I am super excited for my team and their prospects. Still a question at a few spots, RG,C, slot, but Bark will make them look good also. Using Goedert correctly will be night and day for this team. I suspect Gains to be a part of the running game with maybe a splash of RB 3 now and then. I'm sorry,I understand there is alot of work to be done with new coaches and staff. I believe they will put this all together. Siri needs to grow as a coach and I'm looking forward to seeing if he does that. he has a good supporting cast but as HC he needs to listen to his coordinators.Curious to see how Paris fares in the slot or if he loses that job fast to Ainias,but any production from the slot will be a boon for Hurts. I'm excited for this year and can't wait until we take down the pack in Brazil. Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Isn’t Huff the guy that injured Hurts last season? 

That Jets game was such an important game last season. We did so much right on O …yet they contained us.

We did a lot correctly on O....    except....   I don't think you will say it...but that was to me the clunker for the QB.  Really in his career there haven't been many..that was the one last year.

There is a difference between.... everything not working and wanting your QB to make up for it with his play... and the QB just having to avoid mistakes.   The Jets game was his bad one.   

What I think happens THIS YEAR... we upgraded RB 1....  added a RB3.     Semantics for me however anyone wants to hate on Gainwell's 4.5 carries per game for 4.6 yards.... the big difference THIS YEAR...Barkley could carry more of a load than Swift...plus Shipley can actually touch the ball vs getting ZERO from Scott/ Penny.

The Jets game should have been one where we ran more...having the ability to give the RBs more carries will be huge.

Keep Gainwell at 4 or 5 carries... but now add 3 for Barkley over Swift...and Shipley carrying it 5 -7 times... that's a big difference in these type of games.

I just think we have more variety if Hurts will use them. It's hard to be as predictable as we were last year with the talent we had. We have even more at the skill positions in my view than last year. There may be a weak link here or there,but really this is a talented roster. Best overall I have seen in many years

That sounds like a nice mix in the running game,bark is also a passing threat and I hope we use that also. Bark seems to be looking forward to trouncing lot of people this year. Even losing Kelce and the RG in flux,this is a better O line than any Bark had in NY

If this guy plays like this for us missing Cox won't be such a huge deal

It's different when you think your RBs can't handle a huge rushing load.  3 guys compared to 2 is a big difference.

Much better OL

First thing I have to mention is Elliott missed? He’s so money….except this day. And so it begins…..

Huff is a little undersized but he's very strong and very fast and has a nose/read for the QB

I still SMH why Penny was never used. I guess we will never know

First TD of the game Hurts completely muscles his way all the way into the endzone! He would not be denied. They were thinking he was down at the two…yet he twisted and reached to the line.

Bark CAN be a 3 down RB,the rest is just a bonus. I suspect Ship to relieve Bark and gains have his usual usage. It would be fun to hit teams with a T formation and have both Bark and Gains run routes LOL(hey you cover this BS HAHAHA)

To get there: Hurts drops back to the endzone line and gets the ball out completed to AJ. Then scrambles out of the pocket and threads a just completed in bounds dart for a first down. Swift and Goedert plays grab first down. Smitty crossing over the middle.

Jets grab a field goal. We start driving past midfield with two straight completions to AJ. Then Goedert coughs the ball up resulting in an interception on Hurts.

Two big throws and monster plays by AJ then Swift finishing off the TD.
