Sounds better as TE #3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Put Sanders and Hurts in the backfield and let Wentz toss or throw to who he wants. Might be better than the crap we've been watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One started the year on IR and was then joined by another. Fundamentally Howie's plan was flawed from the start because it relied on Desean staying healthy and Alshon coming back. Ridiculous. Not Ridiculous...Howie has been promoted from Incompetent to an Idiot. Only an idiot would repeat the same mistakes, with the same unreliable players like DJ and expect a different result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ridiculous, incompetent and idiot are all fair words to describe Howie as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who's at receiver to bake the cake if Wentz keeps missing them high, wide and long. Bad or absent receivers are not an alibi, an inaccurate throw is still inaccurate whether you're missing Jerry Rice or Arciega-Whiteside with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not seeing receivers when they are open, or when he does he over/under throws it. If I had any desire at all to go back and watch even a part of that Cincinnati game, I’d find the all-22 shot of Hightower wide open down the field as Wentz instead chucks a ball at Ward’s feet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think lack of practice with those receivers might have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madriver Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Has this team quit on Doug? Djax with another phantom hammy, and players dropping like flies. Real injuries or a team quitting----neither would surprise me at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 49ers are one of the best pass defenses in the league. Honestly this could be a blessing as it could force the play calling to run the ball more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, lack of practice reps with the receivers isn’t causing him to throw 5 yards over his receiver’s heads on crossing routes, screens, hitches, etc. What are you going to use to excuse the awful throws he’s made to Sanders and Ertz, both of whom he is familiar with? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle45 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hightower, Burnett, and JJAW have returned to practice. In other news, Ward was the only receiver to practice today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So game day targets will be Ertz, Ward, Hightower, Burnett and a couple practice squad guys. Watkins isn't cleared yet right? Oh, and JJAW (). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can run around and do nothing. Doug will use the same plays even though no WR is at the spot where the ball is supposed to go. If the first play is a bomb and they end up going three and out, I may just shut the game off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be ugly this game. Really ugly. I mean what are they going to do at LT? I know Peters has been horrid but who do they play at LT? Mailata? We are one more injury at OT away from playing a guard at OT. That's scary. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPhilly Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The last three years sure do feel like payback to the devil. No doubt we've made plenty of personnel mistakes, etc but the level of injuries over the last four seasons has been utterly staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s scary to think how Mailata will play knowing that, even with Peters’ poor play, he still won the job over him. Fingers crossed but I’m going in with very low expectations. I usually have a hard time getting a good nights sleep after a late game Eagles loss so I plan to on being exhausted tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if they list him as wr1 or wr2 on the depth chart that puts him ahead of jjawr6 and that’s not a good look for your draft class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
