DEagle7 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 18 minutes ago, downundermike said: Key word being "could" but I get it. They should have a great OL/DL. WR and DB have been their Achilles heel but both were addressed in the draft/free agency and they hired a HC/DC with backgrounds at WR/DB and are changing their coverage schemes. So IF they manage to turn those positions around and IF Hurts can take the next step as a passer I could actually see this being a surprisingly good team. That's a lot of things that have to go right though and we never seem to get to have nice things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEFly Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Why do I get the feeling that at the end of the year Judge and giants fans will be complaining that the Eagles let them win a game costing them a higher draft pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphagrand Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Last season the Eagles only passed for 208 yards per game. I will assume they will improve at least 10% from that number and predict almost 240 yards per game. They will focus more on the ground game, but they'll also likely be playing from behind in the second half of games often which will necessitate more passing. 240 X 17 games will result in 4,080 passing yards for the year. My "too optimistic" prediction on receiving yards (dependent on good health, I know) -- per player it will be: Devonta Smith -- 1,000 yards Reagor -- 700 yards Ertz -- 550 yards Goedert -- 550 yards Quez Watkins -- 350 yards Ward -- 300 yards RB (Sanders/Gainwell/Scott) -- 630 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEFly Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Roob is pretty famous for taking meaningless stats and info and creating something when nothing is there. Guess he forgot about all the dead money Carson Wentz left behind in this calculation. Quarterback: I like the makeup of this group, and the biggest question surrounding the organization obviously is how good will Jalen Hurts be, and that will ultimately determine how good this position group is. But I like what the Eagles have done here. An exciting 23-year-old starter with a world of potential, an aging-but-still-effective former Super Bowl MVP at No. 2 and a third-stringer who’s started a bunch of games and played at a high level. And all this with a combined 2021 cap figure of $3.8 million, which gives the Eagles the third-lowest QB payroll in the NFL. And there’s flexibility here since Flacco is on a one-year deal and Minshew signed at minimum wage through 2022. Minshew will likely be No. 2 next year, and if Hurts does falter you have a 25-year-old with 37 career TDs and 11 INTs waiting in the wings.

Phil Simms Glad to see I'm not the only who who likes Collinsworth. I think he's usually very good, although I will admit that he had some issues in SB52. He was particularly bad on the Ertz touchdown, not only completely failing to understand the catch rule but in the process also giving an entire nation the idea that it should have been overturned. I thought Simms was pretty good early on, but he either started to mail it in at that point or it gradually became apparent to me that he's simply not a very bright human being. Whatever the case, I agree with the assertion that he's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
