Fulgham is looking like a beast out there. He’s head and shoulders better than the rest of these guys. He had a nice game last night again. 

Yep, dude is legit. Didn’t even feel like he had a huge game last night, and still ended up with almost 80 yards and a TD. You know a receiver is good when it seems like he’s just having a typical for him, and those are the numbers for that game. 
 

I know Reagor didn’t have any huge plays, but I like him out there. Some might blame him saying he "dropped” a TD, but realistically the DB just made a great play punching the balll as soon as he got his hands on it. With better QB play, Reagor probably looks a lot better.

I was actually shocked they went for a touchdown there anyway. Almost felt like they were trying to run up the score, but Fulgham looks like the real deal right not.

Fulgham is for real.  Surprised that he was not drafted.  But glad that he is on our team.

You are right that that was not a drop on Reagor.  The DB punched the ball out of his hands.  A PD credit to the DB.  Reagor should get better as the season goes on and establishes the connection with Wentz.

Just curious how JJaw did last night.  Did not notice his presence in the game, though the Game Book shows that he did play.

He was drafted.  6th round last year by Detroit.

I'm mainly in here to eat a big plate of crow.  I was all for the JJAW pick when it happened.  I'm in here to fully admit I was wrong...he sucks.

1 pathetic pregame speech and 5 snaps for Whiteside last night, almost a career night!

 

That was pretty sad. That speech couldn’t even motive third graders. Missing the days of Dawkins after that mess. 

Maybe he can find new life as an undersized TE? The team is trying so hard to justify this draft selection and get him some type of involvement with the offense, whether deserved or not.

It couldn’t hurt I guess. Whatever the reason it’s not working the way he is right now. All in all it doesn’t seem like the coaching staff have any confidence in him at all.

If they were going to try him at TE, they would have when their top 2 TEs were hurt.  Ertz and Goedert were hurt, along with Jeffrey, Jackson and Reagor.  They had to make Rodgers the 1st TE and got a guy no one heard of to be the 2nd TE:  Croom.  Remember he scored a TD and no one even knew who he was.  They plucked guys off their own or other practice squads to play WR.

All that and his snap count decreased as the season went on.  They were desperate and scraping the bottom of the barrel...and the coaches did not believe in JJ.

Fulgham is on pace for those numbers even if we count the 3 games he was with the Lions. If don't count those games then he blows them out the water

Yeah, this team simply just isn't good at drafting WRs historically. We got lucky with Jackson and Maclin in 2008-2009, but other than that we've had to rely a lot on free agency and trades to bolster the WR group.

Pittsburgh always seems to be able to seamlessly replace the WRs they draft and develop by the time it comes to their big fat contract as free agents. They turned their 5th draft pick from the Santonio Holmes trade to the Jets into Antonio Brown. They allowed Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace to walk and didn't miss a beat. Right now they have a decent trio in Juju Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, and Chase Claypool. I know Claypool is just a rookie, but he has some serious upside to be their full time WR1 down the road. James Washington looks like a 2nd round bust, but besides that they've done fairly well. Green Bay also transitioned well from Donald Driver to Greg Jennings to Jordy Nelson to Davante Adams as their WR1 over the last several years.

Travis Fulgham has been a pleasant surprise, but we can't take credit for him as he was a 6th round pick of the Lions last year and bounced off their roster and the Packers roster before reaching our practice squad and ultimately making the active roster as our WR1. Hopefully Reagor continues to shine like he has in his limited game action so far, it was rough watching so many of the other rookie WRs make an impact while Reagor was rehabbing his injury.

Why. The. Hell. Would this low life be in charge of a pregame huddle?

Why are there only 4 guys in the offensive pregame huddle? Maybe that's the problem......

Jerry Rice was an animal. He did that in a running era.

Fulgham leads ALL NFL receivers in receiving yards since week 4.

I don't know which of our scouts brought him to Howie's attention, but perhaps that guy should be in charge of personnel/talent evaluation here.

This is the best idea I have seen on the forum in a long time

Is he up to 200 career yards yet?  If not, he’s got to be closing in on it.

Probably. I can’t help but to wonder if it’s just a case of throwing as much crap at the wall as you can to see what sticks. The Eagles have invested a lot of money and draftpicks at this position, and they found a guy through a PS player. Two guys if you consider Ward. Still the laundry list of names that have played WR for the Eagles since Doug was hired is large.

Healthy Scratch today (inactive) - just when you thought he couldnt reach new lows

Another winner move by Howie. The ultimate insult to be a healthy scratch in year two of your career. 

He's a Danny Watkins, Jaiquawn Jarrett level of bust. At this point he is taking up a roster spot for no apparent reason. Cut and move on.
