They are designed when they are read option, like seen in the tweet I posted. Whether you like it or not, the offense has to practice those plays (runs) and the defense needs to practice against them as well. 

A read option in 7v7 is a stupid play in that scenario, don't you think?   The player that is being read isn't even on the field.  So, running in a 7v7 (which is and always has been about the passing game) is just ludicrous.  Defending running in 7v7 drills is even more ludicrous.

 

I agree, the defense does need to practice against read options, because a lot of teams run them.  Personally, I'd rather the starting QB not be the one doing it.  Then again, I'd rather the Eagles not run read option plays for that matter.  RPOs, sure.  ROs, no.  But, we saw last year that Hurts can't execute RPOs.  He's too slow to get the ball out and penalties result from it.  So, they scrapped the RPO and went full into ROs.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

What was last year? Was that the Texans telling him to go away?

I don’t remember? I thought he was basically just holding out being a bish? Maybe they got a new masseuse who didn’t go the extra mile?

He sounds like a moron.  You should make a final decision before they go out there.  You should have a plan for the game as to what you want to see from your starters.

He has a plan, and that plan is to sound like a moron. And you sound like a moron for not realizing that

I don't think his plan is to sound like a moron.  I think he tries to sound smart which makes him sound even dumber.  

Today is the last day of Eagles only practice in TC

Ah weather must've finally cooled down enough for him to stretch!

No way Calcaterra can be considered a lock at this point.  He's missed valuable time.  

Gainwell with a hip injury could be a bit concerning.  Has there been any mention of the severity?

Their RB depth is terrible.  I know the position has completely lost it's value in the modern NFL but goodness.  

Harris - Tooth

thats a new one

The Eagles are not waiving Calcaterra. I’m pretty sure of that. If he’s truly hurt, they’ll put him on IR the next day and maybe add another tight end. 

 

 

 

 

Sounds like a stock up day for Hurts.

@hputenis and I would be broke real quick 

Even if I was a fringe player fighting for a roster spot, I would publicly demand a trade.

Davis is not just a freak abs looks like an awesome player,  but he seems like he has a great head on his shoulders as well.  Love his personality.

He hasn’t been told what his thoughts are, yet. 

I never thought I would see an Eagles coach more goofy/dopey than Doug Pederson, but here we are. Oh well, Doug won a Super Bowl, so maybe goofy can win one as well.
Maybe he can "Derp, derp derp!!" his way to winning one. Or his assistance win it, but it looked like SiriSoft™won it, just like what happened with Doug.

He didn’t know then and still doesn’t know for sure if either Mailata or Dillard can play Friday. Only a moron would risk his starting QB in a nothing game when he’s down to his 3rd string LT.

And game-time decisions are made all the time, something you choose to ignore because it does not fit your agenda.

So isn't Hurts a second year QB until Thanksgiving or something?

I mean doesnt really matter who is playing at LT because its not like Hurts is gonna get hit in the pocket anyways.
