Why would you want the awkward situation and the no doubt eventual power struggle by keeping Howie on board. Just another headache we need to avoid. Either keep Howie(as GM$) or cut ties all together none of this in between stuff

IDK their grading system. But I saw guys come around him unblocked,so how do they count that? It's not a missed block because he never engaged

I won't be able to tell until I see the all 22. There are times when the other team brings a DB or LB off the edge that isn't the OTs responsibility. At least once they blitzed the slot corner and Wentz missed a wide open Ward. That pressure wasn't on Mailata as he correctly took the inside player.

OK well as long as guys can loop him I expect Wentz will be under continued pressure and if he's(Mailiata) not responsible,we better find someone who IS

Makes no sense at all but ok.... Not rocket science if you keep a guy around that was in power and try to bring another in to replace him and keep the other guy doesn’t generally work so well will be a power struggle.... Become even more of a joke then we are now might as well call us the new Cleveland Browns

They are saying Rich or Marty I’ll take a hard pass on both 

Here are the snap counts.

Eagles vs. Seahawks snap counts: Playing Alshon Jeffery over Travis Fulgham is malpractice - Bleeding Green Nation

Rodgers only had 22 snaps, which I think is ridiculous. It's not that he's great, but he gets open and helps in the run game. We just moved the ball better when he was on the field against the Browns, and my guess is that it was the same last night. He had 6 targets, so Wentz is looking for him when he's out there, so put him out there. But with Ertz back it is a moot point.

Still, it is frustrating that on a night when you can't move the ball, you leave a guy who has been one of your best targets on the bench. 

On defense, Epps had three snaps and Wallace didn't have any. Mills had a good game, but it would be nice to see the younger guys out there.

Edit - We just released Will Parks, so I guess the young guys will play more.

 

Baldinger isn't always on with his breakdowns, but he has some good ones from the game last night. This is one of them, but he has a few more on his twitter feed.

Wentz right now is making the game so much harder than it needs to be. Our receivers aren't always getting open and the line does have problems, but there are a lot of throws there to be made that are late, off target or missed, and it's killing us.

You mean like we took Reagor instead of JJ?

No. Not thinking that. I’m thinking that we all seemed to think Metcalf was just the obvious a prospect. A incredible physical specimen. The JJAW pick was baffling. Reagor is a heck of a player. Seen him wide open plenty. Probably would see more if I watched the All 22. We have other issues that are killing our WR production. Not thinking many throughout the league would be producing right now in Midnight Green.

Round two and three are definitely the bigger problem.

I agree with both of these statements, and I think the 2nd one is a major contributor to the 1st.  While we can find some clips of receivers that are open, it is so much less than other teams in the league.  The right side of the line was atrocious last night.  Whether we blame that on the players or the coaching is another topic, but for the majority of plays I saw last night, these receivers were getting stuffed at the line and creating no separation on routes.  Miles Sanders new found dropsies in the check down game aren't helping much either.

Well it's hard to know. College is college, some will transition easily, some take more time. For example draft darling Ruggs is doing ok, but stat wise also behind JJ. Jjaw was on nobodys radar that I was aware of. I guess some team had him rated high like we did, but I had zero clue who he was

So tell me which year we combined those 2 duties. That was the part that made no sense,. but somehow "putting it back the way it was" no longer makes sense. Ok got it

And once aqain, he is holding the ball rather than throwing it away and taking sacks when there is no need to. Add to this 6 (a WHOLE SIX!!!!) carries for Sanders. Wentz got more yards on the ground than our top RB. That's insane

Well, Here is a stat I heard recently. We are 3rd in the league Yards per rush, yet we are 28th in the league in rush attempts per game. GB has a weak rush defense. It is their one area teams can exploit. OK, so if I were to hand over the play calling, I would give it to someone who would not sway from the run. That is, unless you want to prove your play-calling is not the problem. Then I would hand it over to someone doomed to fail. Marty?

Why was Marty hired? Where has he been successful in the last 20 years?

I said this in another thread regarding the idea that Doug would consider giving up play calling duties.  If you listened to Doug’s presser yesterday, he didn’t really suggest giving up play calling would happen.  Instead he said something along the lines that he stated in the past that could be an option if he was "in a rut” but went on to say he doesn’t feel like he is (dear Lord). He went on further to stumble around the subject and say, listen if I thought giving up play-calling for "a game, game and a half” would help us be more successful I might consider it.  He is as stubborn as he is delusional ... he’ll never relinquish it.  

The main problem is mediocre players all over the roster. They play to their ability and it's less than their opponents most of the time. Some of it is injury but the vast majority is Howie stocking this team with backup caliber players and expecting the coaches to make them good starters. that's a pipe dream. It doesn't happen. There's no way to scheme success when 3 of your O-linemen are getting taken to the wood shed 80% of the time. Throw in WR's who take too long to get open, and a QB who is off target too much and making bad decisions because nothing else is working as planned, and what do you have? The 2020 Eagles Offense, that's what. 

I'm not defending Doug's recurrent stupidity in his play calling but it may also be true that no coach could create success from this group. All I know is that top shelf talent beats mediocrity every time and this team needs a massive infusion of top shelf talent.

Howie Hubris must go. He has failed to build this team through the draft as required. Thank you Howie, and good luck in your career with another franchise. Call Dodds for a kidnapping until he signs, an interview.

  I agree for the most part. However, we also are guilty of giving up on players too soon. Sidney Jones is a solid player now. Raheem Mostert, Alejandro Villanueva, Dion Lewis, Dennis Kelly and others I cannot think of. This can be attributed to coaches not allowing them the time they need or we simply did not put them in places where they could succeed and forced them to play in a system that does not work for their skill set.

    I do wonder what would have happened if we had drafted Metcalf 2 years ago and drafted Justin Jefferson round 1 and Chin round 2 this year....

 

  Agholor has almost 500 yards and 6 TD's this year for the Raiders. Rasul Douglas played the whole game against Ridley and held him to 25 total yards. Is it really all on Howie?

  We are looking at a top 5-6 draft pick this year. Do we trust HR to draft the right player next season? That LB from Penn State may be available and if he is there and we do not take him, we will have let another perennial pro-bowler pass us by.

A couple of things from the Inside the Bird podcast this morning.

Wentz has bad mechanics. His arm slot is off, his footwork is bad and his eyes are dropping. I think this is due to his failing to trust the oline. But he won't get better until he fixes those problems.

Mosher said that Wentz is struggling against cover 3. TEs should be killing that zone, and it's one of the reasons that Goedert and Rodgers have been wide open lately, but Wentz is struggling most of the time against it. He's failing to manipulate the safety like he used to do.

Another problem is that they are failing to scheme to get receivers open. They brought in guys to be able to do that, and they are continually running the same plays over and over again. They mentioned the Rams as a team that schemes its receivers open and plays to the strength of its receivers.

Jeffery being on the field makes no sense to anyone in the NFL.

The oline should get better in pass protection once they start picking up stunts better. They are bad at that and picking up blitzes. Once they start playing together more, it should help. As an aside, I would put Driscoll and Herbig in for Peters and Pryor, but they should stick to the same lineup, so maybe not changing things is better.

Parsons has been my first round pick.I changed to Twyman(DT -we need one of those too) because I stupidly thought we could win a few games lol. But I would snag either,Parsons is my first choice ,but "we don't draft LB's"
