He has a habit of going to the sideline for some reason. On the one outside run yesterday he could've easily picked up the 1st if he ran inside the defender but he decided to go to the outside to the sideline and barely picked it up.

 

We desperately need an RB with vision who can break arm tackles. It's a shame we won't even try Sermon to see if he can do it, because Scott isn't it.

The "hate” stuff is a rabbit hole most people don’t care to travel down.  I give Hurts credit for leading two 4th quarter TD drives and bringing the team back — showing a "clutch gene” — but he was lacklustre through the first 3 quarters.  IND is not a good football team, and the offense scoring 3 points into the 4th quarter was poor performance.  That includes the QB.

Hurts’ tendency today to want to do it all himself is a troubling sign.  It’s a worrisome sign that he may be in danger of regressing back to last season’s poor habits.  I might be judging on style points, but I’d feel better if Hurts had thrown a dart for a TD pass on the final drive instead of calling his own number repeatedly.  I don’t think good teams will let Hurts beat them the way IND did 

"Hate” is lazy, unintelligent thinking

i doubt anyone hates hurts. He seems like a good guy and works hard, which is why his teammates like him, but his physical and mental limitations are still the same and that makes him  not good enough as a qb

Eagles currently have a better record but Dallas looks like the better team. I’m the playoffs records don’t matter. 

Dallas looked like the better team yesterday.  But the Vikings and Cousins were an accident waiting to happen.  After yesterday they are 8-2 with a negative point differential on the season.  Both of their losses were by an average of 28 points.  They’ve won a bunch of close ones.
 

Dallas was pissed after being embarrassed, and Minn was coming off an emotional/unlikely win vs Buff.  
 

Dallas does well after they have been doubted and embarrassed.  But they also have a tendency to smell themselves too much after a big win…their owner can’t get out of his own way with his mouth.  
 

Wouldn’t be shocked to see them lose their 4th straight Thanksgiving game on Thursday

You take what the defense gives you instead of forcing things and playing hero ball. I mean he walked in for that TD, ask Russell Wilson about forcing passes in the red zone!

Hurts has been hurt by his teammates, the sack was both bad blocking but more bad play design, most RBs would struggle blocking a DE, Sanders even more b/c he's not a good pass blocker. No idea why Mailata was doubling inside and let the DE run free unless that was bad play design.  Two drives were killed by penalties, one he almost got them back from 1st and 35. One by a fumble by Brown. Same issue in the Redskins game.

Watching him throw, his mechanics are better, and he's throwing the ball with more zip and accuracy. He's never going to have a rocket arm, but it's more than good enough now.

I want to point out that the addition of Suh/Joseph might unlock Milton Williams more than it buries him.  He played meaningful snaps today and collected a sack that we just might not have won the game without.

He's better as a wild card that gets into the backfield than he is as someone you ask to consistently stop the run.  Now, they don't have to ask that of him.

We also learned that there were multiple better options than Tui on the street.  Speedy recovery and best of luck on a different roster next year to him.

I agree. Milton is not a true DT. He’s actually better suited as a 3-4 end. Having Hargrave, Joseph, and Suh (and Jordan in a few weeks) will really free him up. We got to see a little bit of that yesterday.

I just dont know how Pacheco was such a late round pick. 

Rutgers, suspect hands, and not the best at blitz pickup. One hell of an angry violent runner though.

Boston Scott should be on the PS and only called up for Giants games. 

This season may be Howie's masterpiece.

Going into the offseason, he's clear that they were still rebuilding, no mortgaging the future off 9-7.

So he drafts Davis, Jurgens and Dean, only Davis will have an impact as a rookie.

All his other moves were at little cost except Brown, a 1st and 3rd and a reasonable contract for a 24 year old WR who's already Pro Bowl quality, and Reddick, 3 year deal at an affordable price.

Bradberry, 1 year deal, no risk. White, 1 year deal, no risk.  CJG late round picks.

When the team surprises, picks up Quinn, Suh and Joseph for peanuts for the stretch run.

Still has NO 1st in 2023, 2nd in 2024.

Learned his lesson from 2018-2019, you can't "force" things, you have to focus on value and be patient.

Resists temptation to package his high picks for a "name" player to put them over the top.

Only "failure" has been the inability to land a power back who can gain short yardage and pass block - but no one's perfect.

The DB has outside leverage. Use it against him and cut upfield to the inside and get what you can. A one-yard gain there is bad. You have to admit that. 

Edit: Was that even a LB? Whoever it was, he was double teamed by two OL. I assume that was Buckner.

Didn't you know that taking a screenshot is the exact duplicate of reacting to a play in real-time?

lol, no. I'm as big of a Sanders fan as anybody, but he screwed that play up. He has the speed to easily pick up 4-5 yards there if he cuts inside. He gambled trying to break a bigger play and lost.

 I think they need to get a better back in the draft, miles is just OK at this point in his eagles career, we can do better

The defenders obviously stay in their place and let him run for 20 yards.  He’s the only one pictured they will be allowed to move.

Miles is fine, just underutilized and probably frustrated, which leads to decisions like that one. Trying to do too much with too few opportunities. I thought AJ Brown had a worse game, tbh.

If their play holds up, Howie will have redeemed himself for pissing away a 4th rd pick on Quinn.

Closer to the end of the game, the camera was pointed at the receiver's bench and Hurts was there talking, AJ looked sort of disinterested.

I don't think this was a vision issue.  My recollection is that he tried to beat him outside.  It's a tackle breaking and shiftiness issue.  The vision issues I see are where he misses holes inside or really when he just doesn't take what is there initially.  I think he's been better at those this season.  He's not an elite RB.  He's an above average RB.  He's capable of getting more than what's blocked but he's not reliably going to make defenses worry about his ability as a runner.

He was literally standing around on the goal line when Hurts ran out of bounds on the 3rd down play before our FG. No effort whatsoever to get open and give Hurts an option on a scramble drill for a critical 3rd down at that point of the game. We were all scratching our heads trying to figure out why the Titans would ever trade him away after the first couple games. Starting to get a glimpse into the rationale now, perhaps.
