A bit surprised to see him get head coaching job offers I figured he would be a oc again this coming year

I think this has been touched on a bunch but trading AJ isn't feasible this offseason. Despite the game he had, I don't think a downgrade at WR is a fix for the team. They need to fix the coaching staff, add depth to the o-line and fix the TE position.

AJ is going nowhere due to the cap. The sooner this is understood, the better.

Phillips didn’t pass the eye test but the metrics love him. He’s ranked very highly in pressure rate and such. I think he could stay especially since they’re thin at edge.

Can someone explain to me how they trade AJ with a pre-June 1 trade dead money hit of almost $43 million?

Post June 1, I guess.

Well I get to listen to all the bears fans now today and all week.

Hoping the Rams smoke them and then Seattle beats the niners and then the rams. Hopefully bills or texans will win the afc

Rather draft an edge early

What are you talking about? Those were not go routes. The receivers did exactly what the play called for against a zone. Run 10-12 yards straight ahead and turn around. That is how insane the play calling has been this year...it is totally inept. Against zone, the players should be instructed to move to gaps if they are running such a simple, mindless play...instead...they literally run to a defender and turn around. The season was on the line and that is the best this fool OC has? Yes...it is that bad...and the scary part is this play has been the bread and butter play all season long. The brain trust absolutely needs to make an example of this clown first thing this morning..time is ticking as far as I am concerned.

Go watch the play again. 3 of the receivers were in the end zone or ended up in the endzone. The only guy short of the end zone was Goedert and he was triple covered.

They were vertical routes that never developed. Not the play you call in the redzone on 4th down with 2 timeouts left when you only need a first down.

Bang for his buck, Howie had a rough year. We burned quite a bit of resources big (a 3 for Phillips) and small (trades for Johnson, Alexander, Bennett, cap space for Ojulari that cost us a comp pick, trading for Michael Carter, etc.

Baltimore kept the Alexander pick, huh?

There still would be a $22M dead cap hit… Not going to happen

Keep Mann, Johnson and Toth. Nakobe if he takes a reasonable team friendly deal. Everyone else can pack their bags.

Why wouldnt you keep Reed ? Also, what makes Toth worth keeping ? I keep hearing on here that he's garbage

He reported to the Eagles and passed his physical.

Have finite resources and gotta get OL help somewhere. I think they almost have to go OL early.

I don't think it's impossible - it's just that there are bigger fish to fry, imo.

Toth is good, cheap depth.

Reed can go after yesterday’s performance. He’s oft injured and will only get worse with age once his limited athleticism escapes him.

I’m good with hitting both lines in the first and second round, using a BPA approach.

He can force his way out if he makes it untenable. They won’t let a guy hold the team hostage. We thought they couldn’t get rid of Wentz. Unlikely but not impossible.

Go Steelers.

Meh. I think it had much more to do with Hurts hesitating (on non designed runs) when there was an opening to run for the first down.

1 hour ago, ManuManu said:

If you take away Saquon’s big game against the Giants (14-150) then he averaged 3.7 yards per carry this season. We were constantly in second and long and for some reason were locked into running on those downs. It’s hard for any QB to thrive in those situations. It was just a perfect storm of slop.

Somehow that doesnt add up because if that were his average on 1st and 2nd down, then Hurts would be faced with the daunting task of having to throw on 3rd downs with an average of about 2.6 yards to gain for a 1st down.

In reality, we almost never faced 3rd and short it seemed.

But, when Hurts had to pass on 3rd and 7, 3rd and 8, 3rd and 10, he threw 2 yard routes way short of the sticks. Its not asking a lot for him to throw some different routes, or target some different players in the offense once in a while.

Its not like they asked him to throw on 3rd and 14 a lot. Those situations were usually a draw. A solid QB should be able to manage many of those 3rd and 7s with the talent we have on this offense. And when covered, we really needed Hurts to scramble to extend drives which he hardly ever did this year. Thats a huge thing that he himself has direct control over and he decided to take it away from us.

Yep. The defense wilted.

I didn’t watch the other game last night…but I just watched a video complaining about the Chargers OL. In this video i watched Herbert stand in a clean pocket for 5 seconds and fall over.

I think Herbert had a really bad year to the point where he may be permanently ruined.

If I was some QB needy team I might still roll the dice that with an OL and some weapons he can recover. But he may be Carr'd.

They only scored 23 points. We only got 3 points off of their 2 TOs. This loss is 0% on the defense.

Yea, they twice gave up fourth-quarter TD drives with the lead but somehow are absolved of any blame. Get out of here with that.

They might get the pick back if enough information emerges showing that Alexander never intended to play unless he started, etc.

Or the Ravens could give the "pick back" in good faith - etc etc
