Who hands off the ball?

So why was the RB’s yards per carry higher than the season average with Minshew ??

He obviously hands off the ball better, and is a better passer, he should be the starter using your logic.

Agreed, they didnt cut Whiteside in year 3 and he was a 2nd rounder. If Reagor does not get traded, he will be a lock for 2022.

Financially it doesn’t even make sense unless he’s becoming a locker room distraction. They have to pay for him whether he’s here or not, so might as well have him as your 4/5th, hope you don’t need to use him extensively and hope he can at least give you somewhat average play if you do need him. 

What happened to @jsb235 ??

Furiously pounding the 100% accurate PFR numbers I used to prove him wrong into a calculator trying to find a glimmer of hope that he has not made a complete fool of himself in front of the entire blog.

Fixed just for you.  My eyesight is not what it once was as I approach 50, and typing on my phone bites me more and more.  I don’t even notice auto corrects.

no.

Ohio State has some offense. 

Penn State occasionally has some offense depending on the week.

And thats about it. Big 10 is pretty boring.

But the defense is solid across the board and Im excited to see some offensive teams up against strong defensive teams. Needed that variety to make the conference interesting.

And I think its going to force other teams to bring in better offensive minds and improve the product across the board as well.

Apparently Nebraska doesn’t have their starting center anymore, so I guess that’s understandable. I wonder whatever happened to him.

Northwesterns LT is a mauler

Show me the stats on the YPC differential you selected.

Man, if this Nebraska QB could run, they could win this game.

Switching over to Illinois for Chase Brown now.

Oh like that stops any of us…

The center 

Well played sir.  Very well played 👍

I suspect Dillard would only be traded at this time for a premium.  His value probably doesn’t depreciate between now and the trade deadline and may actually increase.  That allows the Eagles to hold him as a backup until a point where they have an idea how their own season is going.  

Good point.

Here's 12 stats where Hurts was above average.

• His ANY/A was 15th. 
• His sack % was 13th
• He was tied for 13th in 4th quarter comebacks.
• His INT% was 14th
• He was 14th in yards per attempt. (these are 2 of the 4 stats that go into QB Rating)
• He was 14th in combined QB TDs.
• He was 12th in combined yards per game at 261.9 (1.4 yards behind Rodgers)
• He was 5th in yards per completion.
• He was 9th in completed air yards
• He was 1st in rushing yards
• He was 1st in rushing TDs
• He was 2nd in yards per rush

 

FYI: Average of 32 is 16-17 range.

It was his first full year as a starter (starts 5-19)

He will get better. You will stay the same.

Eagles RB’s had 391 carries for 1880 yards last year.  1880/391 = 4.808

Eagles  RB’s had 36 carries for 174 yards vs the Jets.  174/36 = 4.83

Nebraska...

He was 22nd in QB rating.

He was 19th in QBR.

The Jets had a bottom 5 run defense last year. They were the worst defense in the NFL last year.

That was said last offseason as well when people questioned his passing before

So what?  All this yelling and screaming about how bad Hurts was last year (15-20th among starting QBs is actually pretty good for a first year starter at QB) means nothing.

Either he improves or he doesn't. At some point everything has been said ad nausem, and the only thing that matters is what he actually does once the games count.

And what matters is production, whether it's from the pocket, scrambles, roll outs, designed runs and taking off when he sees huge swathes of empty real estate.

You messed up your facts.  You left out the Minshew game with 149/33 = 4.52

Oh, so I should disregard Hurts against them in the preseason them.

And just a heads up, the Eagles RB’s had the second best day by RB’s against their defense all year.

The smaller the sample size, the less important/valuable it is. So yes, you can throw that out...especially in pre-season.
