Out 3 games, but should be back soon upon eligibility." What does it mean, "ankle??" He lost an ankle... broke an ankle... twisted an ankle... suffered a snake bite on his ankle??? How 'bout a little more info? I read that in Jerry Seinfeld's voice. "Have you seen this? Ankle. In parentheses. That's it. What happened to the ankle? Did he break it? Sprain it? Did he...LOSE the ankle? (as Sanders) 'I had the ankle when I left the house, I can't seem to find it.' What HAPPENED to the ankle?!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty funny, man! I love Seinfeld, but hadn't thought of it that way. Good take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathByEagle Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It doesnt really matter because this happens every year with him. Honestly, I wouldnt resign him. Trade him in the off season for a mid round pick if you have a buyer. If he wants to stay, he better be on a bargain deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd trade him for a mid round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman#12 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I like Jordan Howard for the type of runner he is......hard nosed, breaks tackles and seems to always fall forward. Versatility isn't necessary for every back on the roster. I don't care how versatile a back is if he can't get those tough short yards. Those short yardage and goal line situations can change a game if you have a back that can power out 2-3 yards. It may not equate to fancy fantasy numbers, but the eagles conversion rate on 3rd and 4th down simply stinks. Howard has some gas left in the tank.....he's only 26 with limited touches the last 2 years......he's not going to solve the Sirianni problem, but if they give him his touches, he will be effective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglegenius Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 We should trade Sanders along with JJAW. Both injury prone and underperformers when healthy. Scott and Gainwell should be our mainstays. With Howard as long as he's healthy. Or if we want an insanely great running game grab Kenny Walker III in the first round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it now can't you... Lurie getting after Sirianni for running the ball so much in a 44-6 road win. Just like apparently he wasn't impressed with Doug when they ran the ball to beat was it Green Bay or Buffalo a couple of years ago? If I was Sirianni at this point I'd do what I thought was right. If it gets results then you have that on your side. If it doesn't... Well the way things were going you may well get fired anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire the coach??? I’d tell him if you want me to throw 98% of the time then get me the next Tom Brady to do it, and not a guy who’s legs are better than his arms right now. Maybe this is why the Eagles went away from the big backs. The FO took them away in hopes to run the ball less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that meant going against my bosses but it brought more wins then what can they do? And if it doesn't bring more wins well he was headed for unemployment anyway the way things were going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Sirianni is doing right now will guarantee him a job if he’s fired so might as well do whatever it takes to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Eagles don't suddenly think they're a rushing team and over rely on it for this game. Not when your QB was your leading rusher last game.

Big___Al Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 And, I just looked it up to be sure, Hurts is their leading rusher on the season by a good margin. I think it is long overdue for the NFL to update their QBR methods to include rushing stats, considering today's style of play, and I also want them to somehow give credit to all involved in two point conversions.
