I could be wrong but I think they just came up with play designs before with Reich and DeFillippo, Doug still called the plays though 

Frank was in charge of game planning and scripting. Which honestly scripting is the same thing as play calling. Its just that Doug was sending them to Carson in order off the sheet Frank made for him. 

So on the first series of the game a couple of things on each play

1st and 5: Dallas Goedert would’ve had a big 20 yard gain if seumalo blocking would’ve been slightly better. Seumalo gets pushed back into wentz and wentz feels the pressure and throws it out to rodgers. Not a great throw. If wentz has a second longer, Wagner lets goedert run free after initially covering him and it’s just before wentz looks to rodgers. That could have been a nice gain if we had 1 second more 

2nd down and 5: Wentz hast to make that throat. That’s an easy Pitchin couch and you get a first down if you do it. However Miles Sanders I have no clue what he’s doing. On the RPO you can see Kelce is beat badly. If he chips that guy it might not have made a difference but that’s just awful job at recognizing a seahawk player is right in front of you cause kelce is and you just ignore it and wentz gets pummeled

3rd and 5: on third down the Seahawks sent way more people than the Eagles could block. Miles Sanders had a pretty nice block on that one to give Carson an extra half second to get that ball off. It was an a great comeback part of the route by Alshon Jeffery. That should’ve been an easier catch but he kind of half asses the comeback part of the route. If he would’ve comes back better than what he did that’s an easy catch for him and he probably can muscle his way to getting a first down. Instead it was a more difficult catch. 

** just got done watching the all 22 or the first half and besides one run by Sanders, the running blocking looked good. Granted they only have like 6 rushes. however of the six run plays all but one got five or more yards. And the blocking was really good on those five runs. (On the first run of the second half of scott doesn’t keep stretching it and is patient he likely picks up 4-6 yard gain) 

 

Awesome.  So Doug calls some plays, Rich calls some plays, and Press Taylor calls some plays.  
 

Sounds like a great, coherent, and efficient approach.  
 

Maybe we should add Duce and Marty to the mix.

Doug gets first down, Press 2, Rich 3, Duce gets the 2 point attempts, Marty 4th down.  
 

But every second third down of the 2nd quarter reverts back to Doug.  And Howie calls in for the RB rotation personnel since Duce is busy calling plays for 2 point conversions.

Can I throw my hat into the ring to call the first drive after half time? Is that how this works?

I saw this earlier.  I'd really like Reub to clarify what he means.  Is this sarcasm?  Was there really disbelief they took Reagor?

That doesn’t sound good for Doug. Why are 3 people calling plays?

The entire league was laughing.  Who the F takes Reagor over Jefferson.  Look at the mocks.  How many picked reagor before Jefferson?  1...2% of all mocks?  F Roseman.

That's because they have one person calling the shots, not 3 or 4 (or more, who the F knows with this team?). Robert Kraft is smart enough to stay out of the way, and do they even have a GM?

Well that might have come back to bite them now because they havent really drafted anyone good in awhile.  Bill is a great HC but not so much as a GM.

If you want to be more pissed off watch the third down and 10 from Seattle 17 in the third quarter that led to a sack. It was supposed to be a wide receiver screen to Jalen reagor. The reason it doesn’t work is because he runs a vertical route instead of staying where he was supposed to. If he does he has blockers all around him. He likely scores a touchdown on that play. He had kelce, peters and even alshon after he started blocking 6-7 yards down field. He really would’ve only had to beat the safety around the 6-7 yard line for the score.

I think he's just saying there was a disagreement in our draft room deciding between Jefferson and Reagor.

He’s probably referring to the report that the scouts wanted Jefferson and Howie took Reagor. I don’t think Reub has any real sources with the team.

I’m guessing sarcasm. I feel as if Reub has been really harsh towards Eagles for awhile. I think he got spurned by Howie or someone high up there, because I never see anything positive from him about the Eagles even when they were doing good.

I mean personally it was pretty obvious leading up to the draft at the Eagles were going to go after Jalen Reagor. 

He was the guy the week before the draft I knew the Eagles were gonna go after. They were going to overcompensate for the fact that DeSean Jackson wasn’t out there all last season. that first game where DeSean Jackson was out there and wentz hit him on those two big plays is what stuck in their mind that they had to have someone in that mold. they believed have a legitimate deep threat speed on the outside and it felt like the Eagles just didn’t believe in Jefferson’s 40 even though reagor’s was disappointment at the combine. That became like a snowball that became an avalanche. And then Mosher and Adam caplan kind of started hinting at it with their sources.

I wasn’t against taking Justin Jefferson. I said you better know if he could play the outside for better or for worse because if you make a mistake on that you’re gonna wind up paying the price. My feeling was you either should’ve moved up to get jeudy or lamb when they fell. If not I didn’t particularly like picking at 20 with how many holes this team had. I would’ve tried to trade back a couple slots and pick up extra pics so that you can add more youth to this team. Especially after I saw they took hurts that made even more sense to me for them to do that because if you were to take a pick of a quarterback in the second round then you have more picks doesn’t make it feel nearly as drastic.

Reports were that howie fell in love with reagors post combine videos workout, I'm guessing the scouts didn't take as much stock in it 

Either way I think 3/4 ths of a rookie season in which he was injured for some of it is a bit early to make any definitive claims about reagor.

At least Reagor is seeing targets when he is on the field, something that never happened really with JJAW. 
 

In fact, I noticed JJAW a became a ghost after the dropped pass in Lions game last year. I always wonder what everyone’s opinion would be of him if he made that catch & secured the win.

I wonder if the restructuring of Alshon contract before the start of last year was evidence of how they felt about seeing him all during the off-season and training camp. The only thing that counters that to me is the fact in the preseason he had a very good game against the ravens. But maybe they felt that was more of a mirage than reality of what they saw all summer.

Funny thing is the only time he actually gets any type of buzz is during TC. Even this year there were all these reports how he had 3 or 4 TDS during RZ drills. Either he was going against Maddox or they were letting him catch TDs to try to build his confidence.

Could be two things. One the beat writers really don’t know what they’re watching/during the allotted time the Eagles are showcasing JJaw. Or the Eagles are doing what they always do which is they have these Dave special spins where they come up with all hype about their players  during training camp and then they don’t actually come to fruition. Do you know how many years I heard Matt Tobin was going to be a starting caliber player for the Eagles.

I get this, and certainly agree based on how it looks now, but lets just acknowledge that careers arent written in a year.

It’s gotta be the first because I haven’t read or watched a Spadaro piece seriously in the last 15 years. It’s also amazing to me JJAW even managed to have that preseason game last year. That’s his career accomplishment.

"Pederson has handed the reins over to pass game coordinator Press Taylor several times in recent games, and could give him more responsibility starting Sunday in Green Bay, according to the sources. Senior offensive assistant Rich Scangarello has also been calling plays, specifically in two-minute situations, since the beginning of the season.”

Oddly enough our offense has performed best during 2 minute situations both at the end of the first half and second half. We always seem to move the ball well. I could bet a good chunk of the points we’ve scored this season have been at the ends of half’s. 
 

Maybe let’s give Rich some more play calling duties? 

When is the last time an Eagles player caught a short pass and turned it into a long TD, or even a long gain?  I remember Goedert catching a pass against DAL and running all the way to the end zone, only to have it called back on a BS penalty.  Has there been one since then?

I think Fulgham had one, I can’t remember for sure but I think he did.

We've all been asking these questions. Why can't we get a receiver wide open downfield like the rest of the NFL does? Where are the big plays? These are a bunch of different ways of saying the same thing, and that's that our offense just flat-out sucks. Talent, coaching, execution - all of it.

The point is Adams has 74, 908 and 11 in 9 games, not 16.

Desean only surpassed 74 catches in a season once, 908 yards 7 times, and never had double digit TD's

Maclin only surpassed 74 catches in a season twice, 908 yards 3 times and never had 11 TD's.

 

The point, Adams has done this in 9 games.

I understand what the point is, but it's an asinine thing to even mention. He said that an Eagles WR has never put up those kind of numbers in a season aside from two times. That's false. Good for Adams, but Jackson didn't need 74 catches to put up what? 1300+ yards and 9 TDs? What a major difference..

I'm sure Adams will have a great year. Guy has been a good receiver for years now, but never as good as some people make it out.
