I stopped reading his posts years ago. A 1300 word salad of NOTHINGNESS. Every post.

I stopped reading after the first sentence because you are obviously showing lack of intelligence. You are really comparing 4.7ypc vs 9.1ypc when he wasn’t even an Eagle those games. Guess what, either number you chose is twice of what Saquon is getting.

You are literally making my point of Tank needing more carries if his YPC has doubled since an Eagle.

You shouldn't have stopped reading. It's odd when just 5 carries for 12 yards can bring a rushing average down by 4.4 yards per carry. Obviously it means the sample is way too small to glorify. Last I heard, the Jaguars were an NFL team too and those stats count.

In 1990, Keith Byars proved he was the best QB in franchise history, I guess, by passing: 4-4-53yards-4TDs for a perfect passer rating on the season of 158.3. In his rookie season (1986), his passer rating was 135.4.

Every player on the team would have better numbers if Patullo sucked less and if Siri was not a pathetic weasel who sticks up for people like Patullo and Gannon over the success of the team.

Saquon has been far worse than Hurts but the QB is an easy target.

No one in the NFL has been worse on the field than Calcaterra. (who is supposed to block for Saquon)

Saquon should have been targeted on 90 passes already. He's at 43.

I predicted he would have a 1000 / 1000 season because I knew this had to be a pass first offense with the changes and the league reaction.

I'd have been fine with 1100 and 750.

I was smart enough to see that but there are 1000s of assistant coaches smarter than me. None of them are named Patullo.

I think he’s trying to hard. He’s just gotta run straight and take what the defense gives him. Hes as always looking for the homerun when a single is all that’s needed.

Buddy. Stop while you’re behind. Tank had one game with Jacksonville where he had a rushing attempt, 5 for 12 yards. He has played 5 games for Philadelphia where he’s had a rushing attempt, 18 total rushes for 164 yards. If you add 5 + 18, you get 23 (his total rushes for the year). If you add 12 + 164, you get 176 (his total rushing yards for the year). 176 divided by 23 is 7.65 which is his average FOR THE YEAR.

Again, his average this season is over twice as much as Saquon’s 3.43 YPC.

I did make a mistake and read the wrong line on a stat site about his average for this season. Saquon, though is averaging 3.7 this season. Neither really changes either person's point.

For the record, Barkley has 9 career fumbles on 2100 career offensive touches. Bigsby has 6 career fumbles on 250 touches. Feel free to do that math.

We used to say that about Shady. He danced way too much behind the line to juke someone instead of just running

RB needs a dominant O-line to dominate. Saquon doesn't have one of those this season. Could he hit the hole more vertically and quicker? Yes, but I doubt it makes much difference. He's still going to get hit behind the LOS way too much. No O-line equals no run game, no passing game, and therefore, no consistent offensive production. That's what the Eagles have right now.

I've been watching Saquon since he was at Penn State and he's just as good or better this season as ever. The issue is if you get stopped 8-10 times behind the line as a running back every single game - as a RB you begin to get a sort of subconcious memory of going down early, imo So basically, when you do have a little room to run and make a play, you begin to go down earlier and create less opportunities for big plays than you would normally.

It's directly related to RB confidence - just like anything else, if you believe you can take it to the house on any play, you tend to do it much more often (last season, for example) than when you are used to getting demolished behind the line of scrimmage 8-10 times a game.

Saquon has already taken more hits earlier, more often and harder this season, in far less games - than he took all of last season - including the playoffs - think about that. It's not him running the ball 400 times last season that is hurting him this season - it's the 100 times he's gotten hit behind the line this season (out of 198 runs) that is hurting him this season. (Those are rough guesses on my part but you get the point).

Think of Barry Sanders, for example. He's arguably the most skilled RB in history but is "given a pass" (per say) for seasons when he averaged less than 5 YPC because his offensive line was depleted during certain seasons. It's no different for Saquon or other elite RB's, imo.

That's the thing I do not get about people who say he is missing something this season. No, he is getting hit damn near immediately every single time he touches the ball and yet they continue to just run him straight into the box.....its the most insane thing I have ever seen....
