No it wasn't. Isn't that what I said.

The TD that was called back wasn’t a good throw?

I'm a dope that keeps thinking Reagor is going to explode.  I deserve to be laughed at, too.

That's is also my hope.

Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of. That said his deep ball is very poor and needs work.

Reachor needs to be schemed open or send him deep and hope he stays in bounds.  The next time I see him run a sharp route 10-25 yards over the middle of the field will be the first time.  Like I have been saying all along, he’s a rich man’s Josh Huff.  

Would anyone notice if he ran a sharp route over the middle? It’s not like he’s see a target there.

I don't think anything should have an impact on giving Sanders a second contract...IMO, it shouldn't be considered unless Sanders is willing to sign so far below market value that the NFLPA files a grievance.  

Nothing against Sanders.  Not hating the player, hating the position.  Churn and burn.  The one exception being a RB with a sterling health record who impacts the offense a la Westbrook/Faulk in the passing game.  

Problem is, they aren't even churning him.  2 games in and he's at 28 carries for 129 yards and no TDs.  I know it's a different age of NFL football but if they want to churn and burn him, that should his stat line for 1 game.  

As of right now he's going to be averaging 14 carries for 60 yards a game.  I know I'm hard on Boston Scott but he could do that.  I really feel like the coaches are scared they are going to hurt him.  He's 24, he gets veteran rest days at practice and then he gets 13 carries in a game.  I have no idea what their plan is with him.  

 

Hurts will always have the arm concerns until he proves that he can 'make all the throws'.   First drive, he threw an out to Smith, he floated it and it was an easy breakup for the DB.  (turned into DPI, IIRC)  That ball spent way too much time in the air, it needed to be much more on a line rather than floated. 

The deep balls are generally throws that he puts a lot of air under, because that's what he needs to do to get it there, but it leads to being more inaccurate (meaning it can come up short) because a minor miscalculation in the angle of launch or the speed of the throw has a much larger impact on location than a ball thrown flatter.    

The intermediate throws, especially those across the middle, are almost completely lacking from his game right now.   It could be that Sirianni isn't drawing up those plays, but it's more likely that he's not looking there.  

 

Until he starts throwing the ball with velocity over the middle, zipping some passes on outs, etc. the arm strength concerns will not go away.   That said, a QB with average arm strength can have success, but need to do it with other parts of their game... reading the defenses faster, anticipating earlier and being pin point accurate.   Drew Brees never had a really strong arm in the NFL, but was a prolific passer because he didn't have to rely on his arm to make the throws.  Is Hurts that guy?  Time will tell if he can become that guy, but he's not that guy yet.

No... but I'm hoping.

Two dimes on deep balls. Both in rhythm.

He doesn’t seem to have the arm strength to throw good deep balls late in the progression or when it’s off script, but he can absolutely throw deep. The criticism is going too far.

I think his issue is anticipation. I'm not sure he throws with great anticipation (where have we heard that before...). He holds the ball a split second too long and as a result his WR is coming back for the ball rather than it being out in front of him. This is something someone pointed out yesterday and you can definitely see that. 

Only two weeks in and you only have 7 undefeated teams , 5 from the NFC

The second deep ball to Reagor was just bad. Didn’t give him a chance, and I think it was in rhythm of memory serves.

He had two attempts to Smith. The first one was late in the progression, which is where his problems will arise. The second one, where Smith heart made a great catch, was the result of pressure up the middle. He was 2-for-3 in rhythm. 0-2 when late or pressured. 

I’m sure this is Sirianni trying to deflect the criticism away from Reagor, but I hope he rips him a new one in meetings. Enough is enough of this junk.

Not a good route runner, regardless of the limitations at QB. Not a polished WR.  Bad, panic pick in the 1st round.  

I think the concern is that he doesn't look fast for the most part and he's not the kind of WR who's going to go and get the ball. So what to do with him? Has he played much in the slot the first 2 weeks? I don't think I've seen it.

Yep.

And how many ducks? I can think of at least 3 or 4 off the top of my head.

Not too mention, while the ball to Quez was a very good throw, he still had to slow down for it.

25 minutes ago, ManuManu said:

The snap counts are preposterous. Goedert and Sweat should not be playing a limited snaps. Barnett should be demoted for his penalty. Neither he nor Kerrigan should play more than Sweat. 

 

Pretty eye opening. 

Too little snaps for either TE and Quez Watkins.  Too many for Greg Ward.

I know the BG injury changed things, but Barnett should not have the most snaps of the DE and Kerrigan shouldn't have more than Sweat.  Has Ryan Kerrigan played the quietest 2 games ever?  The only play I noticed him on was the one right after BG got hurt. 

For as many snaps as Alex Singleton plays, he does little to impact the game.  Sorry, he's just not that good. 

Davion Taylor finally played...and then proceeded to get hurt.

I said it last night but the Eagles need to start looking at what DE are available via trade.

That’s some serious nitpicking of that pass to Watkins.

Both can be true, it's okay.

Also I know we're going back a week, but how about wide open Ertz that Hurts bounced a pass to? Lucky they didn't challenge. His arm strength is an issue when the rest of the game is limited.

Lol, he had to let up the smallest amount on that 91-yard catch. Ridiculous to even mention it, to be honest. 

 

Hurts' deep balls are not his strength.  Last week, the intermediate passes worked well.  Siri decided to see if Hurts could go deep, the results were not good.  Let him stay in the short and mediate ranges, plus the running game.

The injuries begin to appear again.  Graham may be down for the season and Brooks would miss some games, if not all.  They are good players and leaders of the team.  But age is catching up on them.  This season youth is added, but a bunch of older players are still the core of this team.  The long list of "rest" player on the injury report this past week shows a clear picture of the make-up of the roster.

Calf strain.   He was there to make one tackle, and then disappeared right after that.
