Since he refuses to blitz and/or disguise looks, all of the pressure will fall on the front four to get pressure and the secondary to hold up when they don't. After that you can argue a number of positions including LB, WR, OL, and RB. How long has the blog said this "the pressure is on the front four to get pressure and the secondary to hold up”? Since Jim Johnson? What do the other 31 teams say? Do they have the same problem year after year? It’s like groundhogs day. We need a playmakers at all phases.

They have so many holes to fill. I think Chark would be solid and relatively inexpensive. He’s also 6’4” to give some size on the perimeter. He’d be my priority. 5 minutes ago, Waiting4Someday said: I saw in the Kempski article this morning that there’s a super punter in the draft… we’ve been doing a lot of that. Matt Araiza.

I think he's trying to find a way to cover up for Hurts being massively exposed. Sure, but the coach having to be a McVay in his ear is an indictment on Hurts too.

Herbig coming back at a higher price tag is not ideal. Howard has been banged up and I think you can wait until after the draft to make a decision on him. Draft his replacement or sign Fournette. Avery can go. Croom hasn't seen the field in almost 2 years. What do you see in him that makes you want him back? Why no Steve Neslon? He played pretty well this year. the rest...yes f off. You get Avery and Croom on vet/min/TC deals. Howard I'm iffy on but no point in not bring him back to at least compete. Nelson I'm on the fence on...his play overall was, ok. The benchmark for play for a #2 Cb on this team is so low that I'm not sure. If he's chasing bigger money then he got this year, bon voyage.

I think it was by far his worst play because the Birds would get the ball back beginning of the half. No reason to force it, especially on 2nd down. Smith was wide open. Hurts was just late getting him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecticut Eagle Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 28 minutes ago, justrelax said: To sum up: 1) Hurts is not good enough. He will undoubtedly get better but he will get enough better? My answer is probably not. 2) Our defense is slow and needs to get faster, particularly at LB and FS. Without that, we'll give up 30+ to every good QB we face. 3) We need another edge guy, badly. 4) Rodgers will be 39. Watson is a scumbag, and Wilson is, well, what is he at this point? None of them are worth 3 #1s, not even close. 5) Is there a QB in the draft moving up for? If so, how far up? Do we throw 3 #1s at a question mark? Answers: I don't think so. If maybe, a Lawrence Welk. No. Going back to (1), how much better will another QB be than Hurts and how much is that worth? Given that all questions surrounding the QB are problematical, I go for defense first. QB will have to wait. Would really like to see a QB that can run an normal offense here. Doesn't need to be a pro bowl guy. Just someone that can let our receivers succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but he's basically a rookie... so it's not his fault, and he's in the 4th system in 4 years, and 3rd team in 4 years... blah blah blah. Long story short... he's not good enough. He wasn't at Alabama, and they figured it out. Maybe we'll figure it out here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the DC's they have had for the last several years were Gannon and Schwartz who are notorious for not blitzing. It's about the scheme they ran, not so much the players.

NCiggles Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 6 minutes ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: That’s because Todd Bowles was daring you to throw the ball with the defense gameplan he ran out at the start. Go back and watch the first four series of that game. How many guys consistently in the box? And how many times was Bowles daring the eagles QB to make a nfl throw to beat his defense? If you want to run into a stacked box and get 2.3 yards per carry with miles sanders go right ahead. You’re playing into the Bucs gameplan and strength. Because you were screwed if you tried to run against a stacked box (especially with opeta out there) and then you were also screwed because Jalen hurts couldn’t make the throws he needed to make to beat Todd Bowles defensive game plan Nick Sirianni is not clear of blame. He definitely had issues. However Todd Bowles game plan was to take away the run early and force the Eagles to have to make throws if they were going to win. They couldn’t. Until you get a Quarterback that can consistently make a routine NFL throws I don’t care how good your running game is or how many times you want to run it because better coaches and better caliber opponents are eventually going to catch up to you in the playoffs and make you throw the ball In the first 4 series, they averaged 3.25 yards a carry on the runs and 2.13 on the pass attempts with 3 of the completions being for less than 5 yards. I'm just saying the run was working better than the pass was and they should have just kept running it. You can say they took the run away but Sirianni stopped trying to run based on the look of the defense. He should just run with jumbo sets and 12 personnel. I mean run with an extra o-lineman play a mismatch where you have one up front and use size to your advantage. Instead he had no thought about just trying to out block their defense. Don't morph to a short game passing attack that is equally ineffective. Don't run with options out of shot gun that are less effective against fast defenders and stacked boxes. Ru If Sirianni had done this the first 3 drives, I think they get at least one first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
