Reagor has shown no signs of having the problems between the ears that Agholor demonstrated almost immediately.  His hands have not revealed any red flags either.  

Reagor is also far stronger and more stout than Agholor...better ups to get after the ball as well.

Reagor, despite his reputation as a burner...and Agholor's early knock was a lack of deep speed...Agholor actually looked a bit more agile and explosive than Reagor has early on.

I wasn't impressed with him at all. On top of Jefferson, I would have taken Brandon Aiyuk and Tee Higgins over him. 

 

 

Reagor will be fine.  He's shown promise in the all-22 and I'm willing to bet he had at least a few plays where he was open tonight and not targeted and/or missed.  If Wentz was anywhere near his former self, Reagor would be having a much better season, without question.

Mims, 4 for 67

He got hurt too. My comment was a bit hyperbolic because I am frustrated as hell but I don't understand why we can't throw the deep ball to our WRs on any kind of consistent basis.

I actually think Schwartz got this one right.  That's a stupid thing to say about a guy who has torched his defense twice, but the approach was a good one.

Put your best CB on an island against their best weapon, who happens to be the best WR in the NFL...let him get his chunks...but overload coverage against everyone else.

That was clearly his plan and it absolutely worked.  If he was flip/flopping coverages all game, sliding help to Slay, then Lockett goes off on Maddox, safeties are chasing down 80 yard passing plays every drive, and it's a total disaster.

I think they had the right approach on this one.

His one big mistake was the third down blitz that led to the deep ball to Metcalf. Otherwise, I thought the defense was as good as can be expected. 

If the offense was semi competent, people would be really talking up the game plan and the effort.

Well DK isn't a HoF player yet but I think the comment is dumb. It's basically daring DK to go out and have a huge game to shut you up which is exactly what he did...again.

How can anyone not feel sorry for Wentz watching his press conference?   He's such a good guy and you can tell he's giving it his all out there. 

But sooner or later it needs to be addressed.  The elephant in the room is the concussion from the playoff game last year....it has changed him as a player.

With that said, I agree that there is so much wrong with this offense that it's hard to make full, accurate evaluations.

Yeah football players don't operate in a vacuum. Everything is making everything else worse right now. The more that is broken, the harder it is to isolate the broken variables. For this reason I think it's hard to evaluate Wentz' long term outlook. A few years of no OL or WR has made him regress. If you fix that, does he return to good Carson or is he damaged goods now? I don't know.

Yup. You brought Slay over for this exact reason and the gameplan shouldn't be any different next week against Adams, New Orleans against Thomas, and Arizona against Hopkins. Make Slay earn his keep. 

Doug can’t help himself. He sounds so stupid every time he speaks.

Outside of Kelce, who's had several poor snaps this year, has Richard Rodgers been the best player for this team on offense? 

Rodgers is our offense's equivalent of an unathletic spot-up shooter in the NBA who doesn't play defense.

He doesn't block (we'll call that defense), can't really get open (create a shot), but he can park himself at the edges of zone coverage and catch a pass.

That makes him, at worst, the 2nd or 3rd best target on the team.

It has been reported that DC Jim Schwartz lit DK Metcalf's fuse by telling him he's pretty good but he's not Megatron good yet!

Are you F'ing kidding me?

Yup.

Not like it matter what Jim said, DK is DK top 3 WR in the league.

If I was Lurie I would fire Doug tomorrow morning.  Too much damage is being done because of his stupidity/stubbornness — however it needs to be expressed.  Just have Schwartz finish the season as interim HC and Scangarello as OC for the last 5 games

He's "too nice of a guy" for his own good sometimes.  Smh.

 

Lol I can't believe Schwartz said that. How dumb can that be?

I’m all for this. 
 

Beyond just how pathetic he’s been, it really seems like he doesn’t even care anymore. There’s no passion, nothing. Time to move on now.

Didn't see it, but Wentz always says the right thing.  And it isn't because he's necessarily so slick in front of a mic; I think he's a genuine guy.

He probably said it more like a compliment and DK sort of twisted it around into a knock.

Not disagreeing with any of that, but I think you can make a point that he's been the best player on this offense outside Fulgham's three-game stretch. And that goes to show how poor this offense is.

Where the F is Michael Jordan when you need him?

Pathetic.

Did people say this kind of nonsense about RG3?

You don't regress 30 points in QB rating in a manner of 8 months.  I can't think of a QB in the history of the NFL that has regressed that much in less than a year's time....IN HIS PRIME. 

And it's both troublesome and eye opening that no one seems to want to talk about concussions and how they can affect a player. SMH.
