If it is those mushrooms I ate last night weren't criminis...😳

Eagles freed up a PS spot. Wonder if they are trying to sign someone that cleared waivers.

I can't imagine who would sign him.

He's washed, it's not like he was really productive but just had a fumbling issue. He was averaging 3.5 yards a carry, in his 8 seasons he's only ave more than 4 yards/carry 3 times.

He's not a has been he's a never was 

Not much of a market out there for unproductive RBs with fumbling issues.

Please realize that the adjustments you refer to didn't just happen at halftime.  Second half only is a very simple data point that is used to help illustrate that adjustments get made AT SOME POINT before the end of halftime.

he was getting beat (PittsburgH less so) in the entire first half of those previous 3 games doing the same thing over and over in first half of each of those games by sticking with what they started with in their original gameplan for way too long when it wasn’t working. Sirianni even said it in his presser they waited too long to adjust after the Washington game (if i remember correctly also made a comment about it after the Texans game). His main adjustments were coming after halftime break. I’m not the only one to say this solak, jaws, Ross tucker and kapadia have all said this where when they watched the game over it took too long. So not just me who’s said this.

also those POINTS make no comment of the adjustments before halftime. If it did it would’ve said it. It indicated the biggest adjustments were made AT halftime that paid off in the second half. Which is what I’ve been referring to that it takes him an entire half (the first half) and using halftime break to do such. That’s way too long to wait for adjustments against better opponents. It didn’t cost him in the Texans games but it definitely hurt him in the Washington game. And he was much quicker to adjust in the colts game. 

Meanwhile ST is bad. They were 26th last week in DVOA which somehow they improved this week to 22nd and still had issues in return coverages.

In the last 2 weeks the cowboys are 1-1 including a loss to one of the worst teams in the league, but the Eagles being 1-1 playing 2 good teams are going to limp into the playoffs.

So what do you think of the Bills who are 1-2 in thier last 3? they must be dog crap according to you.

Do you see where I;m going with this yet? You keep saying things about the Eagles and then pretend those things shouldnt count against other teams. 

 

 

The colts aren't a good team.

Nor did I say they are limping into the playoffs I said if they did if they can get healthy for that run they could make noise.

I'm not pretending anything.

I'm not sure if you are purposefully putting words in my mouth to be difficult or you just have poor reading comprehension.

Maybe I'm not being clear I'm which case my bad.

I'll make this as simple as I can.

After watching the eagles last 3 games has your confidence in them going to the Superbowl increased or decreased?

Increased. They have a better chance now that they have added Suh and Joseph.

I can see someone signing him. He’s still good at pass protection. And the broncos oline is bad which doesn’t help. I’m not a Melvin Gordon fan but given the right place i think he could have a nice role. I look at a team like rams who have 2 backs on the roster in Williams and Akers makes some sense. I also think a team like chiefs make some sense with CEH hurt again and he can be a backup to Pacheco. 

his issue is his fumbling. He needs to figure that out. I wouldn’t be so sure he doesn’t look better on a different team. 

that said don’t know what the rams are doing just waiving Henderson. If they were planning that they are dumb cause i could see a team giving up a late round pick for him before the deadline.

I was curious and took a look at the past 3 games.

This situation presented itself 12 times:

3 & 12 - Incomplete Pass

3 & 11 - Sacked

3 & 8 - 9 Yard Completion

3 &10 - Scramble for 6 yards

3 & 9 - -1 yard pass to Gainwell

4 & 10 - Sack Fumble, Eagles recovered no 1st down

3 & 10 - 11 yard pass completion

3 & 8 - Sacked

3 & 8 - 9 Yard Completion

3 & 8 - 16 Yard Completion

3 & 16! - 8 Yard Gainwell Rush

3 & 15! - 14 Yard Rush, Fumble, Eagles recovered no 1st down

By my count they have 4 successes in converting over 12 attempts. Don't know how that compares with other teams, but being able to convert 33% of your 3rd and 8+ yards I feel is pretty solid considering the circumstances.

I have similar thoughts on the contract extension for him. I don't think he's a top 5 QB, but don't think he's a bottom 10 QB either. He has an elite OL protecting him and some nice weapons to throw to. Would the Birds be able to keep all of that together over the next 2-3 years if Hurts gets a big contract? If the Eagles were better at drafting and the defense wasn't so old, I wouldn't be so concerned about him taking up a big chunk of the salary cap.

Wrong, Hurts only runs the ball or spins in circles in the pocket on 3rd and long.  

Also, I am going to hold to my pre-season opinion that Howie isn't going to pay big money to Hurts unless they do well in the playoffs.  

 

Melvin Gordon is a better pass-protector than anyone on our team. He's better than Boston Scott, who has lost some juice compared to what he was 2 years ago.

Yup going forward they should help the d and if the offense doesn't pull their weight it won't matter 

Gannon got killed after the Texans and Wash game then against the colts the offense laid an egg.

If the eagles are going to win they need both sides playing really well, after the colts game I thought well maybe teams won't be able to run the ball 50 times against us anymore but if the offense only puts up 17 points it's not going to matter.

As usual a lot will come down to the division games.

Last time eagles played Dallas they had a tough time stopping their run game, now the eagles have added suh and Joseph to help will it be enough? The Dallas O is much more dynamic than the colts anemic O.

Will they be able to stop the giants run game? they've had trouble with Daniel jones running on them in the past, Barkley has been good this year and the Giants have a schematically different run game that forces teams to be assignment sound.

Titans will be a huge test. Theyre really physical on both sides of the ball. 

I have high hopes for suh and Joseph in limited roles after seeing them in Indy, I thought Joseph was done but he's clearly got some left for the 2nd half of a season.

Suh I think can be good in a rotation, he's always been a really strong player with good technique.

Having said that the O the last 3 weeks when they're not on the sideline or not playing like poop have been shooting themselves way too much.

Major part of eagles success has been their league leading turnover ratio which in the last 3 games has been in the negative, not sure suh and Joseph are enough to over come that if it's a continuing trend.

I've answered you 3 times, NO! Hell No. My opinion hasnt changed, and mathmatically we're closer to the 1 seed so they've increased

I'll put it this way....

When you say You're not happy with the Eagles play because XYZ and you think theyre not contenders because XYZ, thats fine, I get it...

But when you can apply XYZ to literally EVERY TEAM in the NFL right now it makes me throw your opinion out the window.

You love the Cowboys cause they have a great rushing game... Eagles rushing game is better(factual) and our pass defense is better(factual)

you're unhappy and dont think the Eagles are a contender cause they've played 2 tight games and lost another. You know who else has played tight games and lost another this past month. The Vikings, Chiefs, Bills, and Cowboys. 

So the reasons you're giving on why the Eagles arent superbowl contenders can be applowed to every team and thus no one is a superbowl contender

 

All valid points if I ever said I didn't think the eagles are contenders, which I never said so...

His fumbling would fit in nicely with the offense of the past two weeks.

Dude was averaging 3.5 yards/carry this year and had 5 fumbles on limited carries in 10 games ,over his 8 seasons he's averaged over 4 yards a carry 3 times.

can he pass protect? Sure but is his ability to pass protect a couple times a game outweigh his inability to do anything else?

Not to mention coaches just moved Scott to KR.

I'll pass on Gordon, hope Howie does as well.

If he wants to sign Gordon to the PS then I guess sure why not, he can show off his pass protecting skills on the scout team.

Well those teams suck and we still lost to one of them.

Which do you agree with most:

1. The Eagles have a good defense, all metrics back that up. ie turnovers, sacks, DVOA-which is top 5.

2. The Eagles defense isn't bad, but I still don't trust quite trust it. They've been inflated by playing bad QBs/teams and unsustainable turnover rate.

3. The Eagles defense isn't good. I don't care what the numbers say, the eye test shows their flaws.

4. I don't know what to make of the Eagles defense still one way or the other.

1 when healthy

This is just saying that Gannon is smart enough to figure out the adjustments he needs to make as the eagles defense has played much better in the second half of games. Cause he has made them after the halftime break.

The problem is there’s an entire first half. For whatever reason they weren’t quick enough in the Texans and Washington game with the adjustments cause the entire first half they continued to employing the same thing for much of the half. if you just stick to your original plan too long and it’s not working that first half it can eventually bite you in the ass. It didn’t against the Texans as they were able to overcome and play much better second half. Against the commanders it took until the halftime break to finally make more adjustments (and really even more after heir first drive of the second half). That along with offensive turnovers cost them.  you simply can’t just wait until you get into the locker room at halftime every game to finally make the major necessary adjustments if your gameplan is simply not working.  At some point if you don’t make the adjustments until you get to the locker room at the half there’s a chance you it could ultimately cost you the game.

This illustrates how important it is for a prospect on WHERE they land.  Wilson was a boom-or-bust prospect.  Great arm, terrible footwork, drafted out of a small college.  Development was going to be vital for him.

Not a shock he hasn’t flourished with the Jets.  Small town kid who loves God, apple pie, and pounding Mom’s best friend.  Not sure it was ever going to play in New York.

Too bad we are last on the waiver wire. Henderson would be an awesome pick up.

Yeah i don’t see him making it all the way through waivers. The rams should’ve dealt him prior to the trade deadline cause they’d have gotten at least late round pick for him if they were gonna just expose him to waivers. there’s been rumors before the season that mcvay wasn’t thrilled with Henderson. Mcvay has wanted and tried to make Akers work over him when it was clearly he wasn’t very good.

That’s such a strange move by LA. They don’t really have any good RBs there right now.

BYU isn't a small college.

They are regularly ranked in the top 25 and over the years have been known to run more pro passing schemes, it's not like they run wishbone triple option...

I wouldn't call where he's from a small town either, Provo is comparable to plenty of other college towns, Utah is a lot bigger population wise than it used to be. 

The rest about God, apple pie And pounding moms,probably accurate...😁

Really liked him out of college, he's got some wheels, surprised Rams waived him it's not like they have Barry Sanders and Walter Payton on the roster 🤷‍♂️

I'd love him on the eagles, does he return kicks???

He returned three kicks for an average of 19 yards in 2019.
