Runtherock Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Agreed, I noticed that on the few clips that are out there. This has to be fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the clips I saw from yesterday. Was on a slant route down the middle Reagor had the D beat. Same with the one handed catch by Goedert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltpeter Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Actually shocked a decent number of folks in the thread acknowledged Wentz's issues with throwing high. I'm sure the "you don't know football" reinforcements are coming, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new with him throwing high, he's going into year 5 it's a bad part of his game at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think he sometimes throws too hard when he doesn't have to and releases too soon. But I'm just an armchair coach. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaster Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Eli Manning threw high as well. Look where that landed him. You can get away with it nowadays because the defenders can't lay out players much. 10+ years ago the slot wasn't nearly as productive as it is today because receivers were obliterated over the middle of the field. Not anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 He needs to plant his feet. It's always his feet and that should no longer be an issue for him. Wentz... he makes me wonder sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT's when it becomes an issue. C'mon Wentz, get your shi* together! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird post. Today's NFL is won entirely by offenses that can execute chunk plays, aka a deep ball. If you can't execute those, there is no spacing, and you have the exact slow moving, 15 play drives that the Eagles were forced into last season. 15 play drives are awesome when they work, but there are way too many opportunities for turnovers and penalties. Those 50 yard bombs are exactly what were missing from this team all year after Desean was hurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 50 yard bombs are exactly what were missing from this team all year after Desean was hurt. OK so first up, I didn't say we shouldn't attempt long passes, I said basing your entire offense on getting two long touchdowns (one of which is a blown coverage) isn't a sustainable winning strategy, why don't you go back and watch last season, watch how many drives stalled because Wentz sailed a three yard swing pass or quick slant 3 feet above the receivers head, it's an issue for the team. By the bye the top two teams in terms of passing TD's last year were the Saint's and the Ravens, and they both had less than ten 40yard plus plays as did the 49ers (we had 6).
