Dang he’s been playing really well subbing in for first line.

How much was that contract?

Figured as much with them announcing he was out so quickly.

Good lord the hits just keep on coming.  Again, we aren't seeing ACL tears....every injury is some sort of muscle pull, strain or tear.  There has to be something with this strength and training team.

Well at least it wasn't a big contract

Nope. Makes me think maybe they can bring him back on a similar deal next year, though he has been hurt back-to-back seasons so maybe you want to look elsewhere.

I said goodbye to him , Alshon and JP last year. It's just these guys wont leave.

Isnt this his second season ending injury?  SMH

Why haven't we signed that Bills guard that was recently released?

Worth bringing him back next year for the same price.  Just make sure to have some more depth behind him, maybe on the practice squad.

The fade pattern is a pattern that requires chemistry between the QB and receiver.   Bad play call... It's easy to run, but hard to execute well without a LOT of practice and reps.  The QB has to anticipate the receivers end point, and the receiver needs to anticipate the QB's ball placement. 

Yup. Considering butler has been on the team what 2 weeks and has all of zero career catches it was doomed from the beginning.

Ideally not a bad call, obvious size mismatch the corner was late getting out and still butler and Wentz looked just as confused on the play and throw and catch.

It was a disappointing throw capped by an even more disappointing no call by the ref.

In the end eagles won though so I guess that's good🤔

They asked about Doug's confidence in Jake and he didn't bite

He can't.  Because until he has a replacement, he needs Jake to feel good about himself.

We can’t afford to replace him anyway.

A sweep, a counter, a delay?  It can be done as obviously just handing  the ball 5 yards deep off Carson's hip and running forward is not the effective. 

I don't think doug has any running plays for RBs in his playbook other than inside/ outside zone out of the shotgun.

I can't remember the last time I saw a counter or a trap or a wham block or lead power or counter trey or even a quick pitch

It's always inside zone or outside zone from different formations maybe some wr orbit or sweep action to dress it up but always the same. Unless its a 3rd and long draw.

The eagles run game is about as innovative as a 4 fingered glove🤔

Doug still didn't say whether they'd put Peters back at LT when he's healthy

Why should he?   Its possible that Mailata will go into a shell after a rough outing.  And we know that Jason is a very fragile ego... so, play the game.  It's 'emotional intelligence'.  He can't bench a HoF player due to injury at a Morning after PC.   He also still needs his OGs to play as well as they can, and put out maximum effort, so he can't say that Peters will go back to OG.   He's playing the game well.  

 

As was once said on MASH, "Look, this is a press conference, and the last thing I want to do is answer a lot of questions."    Just take the Belichek approach a little bit.   Tell them nothing.   He can use a lot of words to say nothing, or use few words to say nothing.   Doug gets himself in the most trouble when he's honest.   Just tap dance.  "We love JP and we're glad to have him back.  Right now, we just want him healthy.  That's the most important thing."

Yup.   Another horrible Howie contract.   Investing in a kicker with a long term deal like that, is like buying a used rental car for new car price.   It will likely break down before you are done paying for it.

I would have rather the injury been a little bit worse so he is forced to sit down.  He isn't helping the Eagles right now and is putting himself out there to get further injured.  I know that sounds like backwards thinking but I don't want him to come back from a sprain and a bad ankle.  He's risking more damage.  Shut it down.

He's likely missing next week and then has a bye, so its 23 days of rest in the least.

And, no you don't ever choose to have a worse injury.

Turn out the porch light, the Trick or Treaters will move on eventually.

Weird timing, He hurt his ankle and was put on IR 10/23/2019 too

So true, and so predictable, but I did see a wham block a couple weeks ago, though i forget which TE threw the block.

jackson to miss signinficant time according to doug. johnson day to day

DeSean is never available anyway. Gutsy effort from Lane last night (tip of the cap). He needs to play vs Dallas in 9 days as does Reagor and any other corpse they can get out there. Screw saving guys for after the bye. Since every team sucks in the division these Division games are extra important. 

That play by Singleton where he blew Freeman up was awesome. Probably the coolest play from a linebacker I’ve seen in a while.

We should go with Singleton, Taylor and Riley going forward.  Gerry has no business being on the field.
