SlimReaper4Six Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Our coaching staff to me has already shown significant improvement than last years. I’m so glad we are hearing our players are being coached and developed the right way. I remember having great talents like Sidney Jones , Rasul Douglas and others who were drafted high and however struggled under our staff. When they moved on to other teams they seemed to show significant improvement to their respective teams. They now are both starting corners. While they were here they consistently struggled. Now look at the players we have now. Craig James, Zac McPherson, Michael Jacquet, and others that don’t have near the talent as Rasul, and Sidney they are showing signs of real improvement. Player Development was a huge weakness here in the last few years always having to rely on our older players. These guys now are consistently making plays day after day. KVon Wallace has been working with the first team and is drastically improved. Our defense is no longer going to be predicated just on the line. We never blitzed , we always stayed in a single high set. Players are now being put in positions to be successful. Our defense has shown to be tenacious and confident. I know we have not played a single game yet but the multiple positions and schemes being deployed have so far been showing we can develop players. i believe the defense is going to be able to make more turnovers now. We are no longer predictable. Having 3-4 and 4-3 looks along with multiple players being rotated will now make offenses guess a lot more. We have so many players now that have different skill sets and each have roles. I think we are going to have a very good defense. Milton Williams, Zac McPherson, Steven Jones, Jackson, KVon Wallace, Davion Taylor all have shown that they can have roles on this defense already. it’s extremely exciting to think we may have a new core group that can grow together and develop into our new eagles for a long period of time. I can’t wait to see what our young core has to offer. Who do you all want to see and succeed this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 So when you say so far so good with the coaches what you mean is on defense. So far I agree the defense has looked really good and is dominating. Shame the offense really hasn't shown a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimReaper4Six Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I wouldn’t necessarily say that. The wideouts have provided some really good glimpses but it’s hard to judge them until they actually show a series and see how the drives start forming. I want to see how Nick calls a game, how he rotated his players, what his philosophy will be to make third downs, will he be aggressive or methodical. Will he stay committed to having a run game and how he reacts to Jalens skill set. Defensively it’s easier to judge how players are progressing and how they win there matchups. Offense has to be completely in sync at all times. One person can win on defense and cause a game changing play. On offense no one player wins , the whole 11 players have to do their jobs in order to see how well they have progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything that I have read so far suggests that the wideouts are really struggling and could really good back this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimReaper4Six Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I definitely think you will be surprised by our WRs. DeVonte, Watkins, Ward will be the leaders by end and Raegor unfortunately will be a Tayvon Austin type, a gadget receiver. I never liked his game. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see him being a true NFL starter. He has way too many mental lapses and doesn’t care enough about his body. That will piss off Nick. Fulgham and Raegor just don’t seem to care enough and that’s not on the coaches . That’s the players fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Vic Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The one I am worried about is a RB coach. He talks the talk...but can he walk the walk? His resume is spotty at best. One team after another. His best year was with the Colts, and even they have not retained him. After so many years of Duce doing an awesome job..it will be a major let down if our RBs slip, and our running game can not support Hurts. We have some really good RBs , but the running game is Definitely worth keeping your eyes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything that I have read so far suggests that the wideouts are really struggling and could really good back this team. Sanders seems like he hasn’t gotten over his drops or fumble issues, Dillard is looking bad with arguably the best OL coach in football, the offense is getting owned every practice, the receivers other than Quez seem average, and Ertz still doesn’t want to be here. On top of that the word is Hurts has looked poor in TC while the group is keeping practice time every light. I’m not sure how this will all play out, but I’m not all that excited about the coaches just yet. I want to see how the players play for the coaches during game day. Either the Eagles offense is really bad or the defense will be really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwestbrook36 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Don't know, can't gather any info based off of some tweets and some highlights in practice....... At this point I'm not sure what is worse in TATE, free agency, the draft, game day or preseason. After press conferences is pretty comical in here too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when everyone said JJAW looked really good in camp and it turns out it was just because our corners were Fing atrocious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they are dominating practice though, against a QB that can't pass for sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Camp doesn't mean sh_it, really. I have seen horrible teams have great camps, and great teams have horrible camps. The proof is in the playing of games that count. Nobody can make a real judgement about a "practice shortened" training camp. They really didn't do squat. I'll get excited- or not, when they start the season, not a second before that. I do like your optimism. I hope you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we don't know what to expect from Hurts? Because we don't know what kind of play caller Sirianni is going to be? And because we can't rely on the OL to stay healthy. Too many question marks to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeach_Eagle Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 To be honest, at this point I still have never heard the new head coaches voice. If I passed him on the street or if he knocked on my door, I very likely wouldn't even know who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procus Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Until the regular season starts, we're really not in the position to properly evaluate anybody. I've seen too much hype or shade thrown at players and coaches before the season starts to really know what to expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
