How did slay look yesterday. Saw box score kupp and Jsn went for 15 receptions and 193 yards

Not great, the trending works both ways. But he’s still very likely to be our best option there unless Bennett emerges.

They made a strategic choice on how they wanted build their roster going forward. It was clear that they had a lot of top-end talent on big contracts and even more talent would be rolling off of rookie deals over the next few seasons. So they decided to, as Zach Berman has described, eliminate the middle class. Keep/pay their most talented players and fill out the roster with guys on rookie or one-year deals. Rodgers didn't fit into that model. It was also a reasonable assumption at the time that Ringo would successfully ascend into the CB2 role.

So, in hindsight, it looks like keeping Rodgers would have been a good idea. But I have no issue with the decision because it was part of a coherent plan.

Rodgers was actually the one guy that would have fit in that model.

$4-5 million per year for a starting CB 2 is far below "middle class” (it’s basically late 1st round/2nd round pick rookie deal type of money)

That’s what makes that one move beyond frustrating.

Idk where the bears are going to be at when the deadline hits. But Jaylon Johnson could be available if he’s healthy. There’s an out in his contract after the year. I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if he’s made available.

Rodgers signed on 3/10. The Eagles needed to add players at Edge and CB. I think the choice to not re-sign him when they did was reasonable. The money went to Jackson, Ojulari and Uche.

Is he right to give it more time? No other choice, but like the X post I quoted a few pages back he was hired because he was supposed to be "plug and play". People have posted multiple times that they are telegraphing what they are doing before each play. If you become an OC at the NFL level that shouldn't be happening. Calls for him to be fired? No. Free pass from criticism considering how bad it looks? Nope.

Look at the other side of the ball and Vic is making it work even with Jackson and multiple changes to his starters. He's a lot more experienced, but still. That's plug and play.

To be fair... Vic is easily one of the top 10 coordinators in the NFL, on either side of the ball... and he's seen, done and thought about just about everything there is on a football field.

Dolphins play Thursday. Assuming they get rolled by Buffalo, I could see McDaniel getting the ax Friday morning.

They play on Monday night week 4, so it would certainly be the time to do it.

Problem with anyone other than Slay/Rodgers is the chemistry with the other guys and knowledge of the scheme. It’s already been like a month and Bennett is still acclimating.

Id take a chance on the talent of Johnson. When healthy is a really good corner. Got to just hope he’d pick it up faster than Bennett and be fully ready for when the playoffs start.

Can only imagine Hill and rice terrorizing the Kansas City community off the field together

Maybe Patullo didn't come up with the plan until this September. Goedert is in the last year of his deal. The Eagles don't want to extend him. Goedert's agent couldn't find a trade partner so the Eagles worked out a one year deal which is reasonable given his injury history. I am not sure why they didn't target anyone in the draft.

Maybe there was miscommunication on what they planned to use?

Have no idea what they are waiting for with Toast Jackson. Never saw a guy have his back to every pass and arrive as late as him. Even when he's near the ball, he has no physical game to jar a ball loose. He is cooked and flails around like a chicken with his head cut off. Pathetic! For now, got to to give other internal options a chance. I'd go back to Ringo. Like his height and physicality. Taking my lumps with him. When he has played, he at least has been around the ball/receiver mostly and has played the boundaries well.

lol

Nothing they’re doing at TE makes any sense.

If the plan was (stupidly) to feature TEs this year, why TF did they haggle with Goedert? Why completely ignore the position in the draft and UDFA? Why didn’t they acquire a TE2 who can block? Just dumb across the board.

They didn't ignore it they tried pretty hard to trade up for a TE in round 2. Just too costly.

Looks like 2 deep and the rook got caught looking so Reed had to cover the underneath and forced Q to play catch up

QBR is a made up ESPN stat that is calculated with bias after the games are over.

It somehow strongly correlates to winning when the people subjectively working on the numbers already know who won.

Charlie Batch had the greatest all-time QBR game for a while in a 180ish yards passing 2 interception game. You can do that if feelings are part of the math.

Passer Rating is the formula that takes completion %, yards per pass, TD% and INT% to come up with a number between 0 and 158.3

37.5 is the number you get for any number of passes with zero completions, zero yards, zero TDs, and zero picks.

You can calculate passer rating at any time using this. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/about/qb-rating.htm

To pick a random game like 22 of 28 for 406 yards and 7 TDs with zero picks, you hit your 158.3 cap.

Passer Rating is not and never will be Quarter Back Rating. Its just an attempt to analyze the efficiency and value of passes.

Note: College has their own formula that goes way higher.

This just cracks me up

Cause it went incomplete and we won its much funnier. Someone on Twitter described it perfectly as he a looney tunes character out there

Source? I heard rumblings they wanted Fannin, which only further illustrates my point - another 6’2/6’3 235-240 lb guy who shouldn’t be in-line blocking - let’s make him in-line block.
