Howard Eskin said he heard the other day Eagles could be interested in Von Miller at the trade deadline. Coincidently, some NFL writer today proposed a Von Miller to Eagles trade for a 3rd. I really hope this is nonsense because I would hate to burn our last 3rd on him. It’s bad enough we already traded our highest 3rd on Dotson. 

If we could trade for Von Miller ten years ago, then I'm all in, but I agree, I'd rather save that pick.

Not very unpopular at all. To many of us, it seems like the Eagles run their offense on 1st and 2nd down with the hopes of getting to tush push territory. It's part of their strategy and it's pathetic IMO. You have all this money invested in WR1/WR2/TE1/RB1 and you want to run the QB sneak as much as possible. It's not a sure thing anymore as Kelce was the driving forec behind it. I'd much rather they use a QB sneak as a last resort rather than one of their top 10 plays.

. I've been saying that for over 2 years now.

Why would they hope to get to 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1?  Doesn’t make sense to me.

If it does get to those situations it's nice that we have a play that is almost automatic, almost.  

Whether it's the shove with Hurts or how they used to QB sneak with Wentz, it works more than it doesn't and results in a 1st.  That's all that matters.

I'd be fine if they gave it Barkley but it better be from under center and not shotgun.  I cannot stand when teams go for it on 4th and run the ball out of shotgun.  Usually doesn't end well.

 

It absolutely doesn't make sense, but it explains why they would go with a QB draw on a 3rd and 8 in the red zone, rather than trying to pass for a first down.   They fell in love with the Tush Push, and Sirianni even said that its like having 1st and 9 on every set of downs.   That gives a window into their mindset, even if they aren't going to specifically say it out loud.   Reading between the lines, that's the meaning.  Their goal is not to get 10 yards, but 9.  It's ludicrous, and yet very real.

That rule was added awhile back but wasn't enforced. Kind of forgot about it. Guess they decided to just fine players that do it now

Cam Ward playing his way out of our reach 

Sydney Brown activated. Jack Driscoll elevated.

Define red hot…he was off target a lot of the game.  Stats might look good, but what actually transpired is another.  He was average to above average the rest of the game.

 

Here is the definition of red hot after starting 0/5: 16/20, 80%, 264 yards, 13.2 YPA, 2 TDs, 0 turnovers, 152.08 QB rating. 

Kinda dumb to not elevate a 3rd TE when you only have 2 and didn’t use your second elevation on anybody

But what would make them think a QB draw on 3rd and 8 gets them 6-7 yards?  They call it with the intention it will get at least what is needed for a 1st, hopefully more.  

I think it's just more of Sirianni's press conference BS where he just says whatever because he doesn't want to really say anything.  Not sure if that's from him or Howie.

Why are Illinois fans storming the field?  😄😄

They are ranked higher and at home.  Not like they just beat the #1 team or something. 

Richardson Jr pulled a hurts bailing a pocket and dropping a ball 10 yards short.

He's definitely not afraid of pressure. He's either going to adapt to it or it'll kill him when he realizes how much faster and stronger an NFL DL is

Should be used predominantly at the goal line. IMO

I'm in agreement... goal line and 4th downs.   OR... in desperate moments in a desperation drive.  But, a 1st quarter Tush Push on 3rd and 1 is a waste.

If they are going to activate 46 different players, why waste an elevation on a player that would later be deactivated anyway?   Seems they have a plan...

The one thing missing from this offense is more verts 

Sirianni stole his WR route concepts from the Blue Angels.  Here’s 3rd and 2 with Cover 0 showing.
