Boy are you confused. Let me catch you up and then ill wash my hands of it because, you are right in that it has occupied too much time and blog space. 

First, a drop kick can be used as or in place of a Kick off, a punt, a FG attempt or point after so what the intention was irrelevant. It only matters if kicking the ball met the criteria for a legal drop kick.

Initially I thought it did. But I don't presume to know more than the refs and if they got it wrong the league would have already said so. I read the rule and as I read it, it seemed to me that it should have been a legal drop kick. I couldn't find a satisfactory explanation and so I asked in the blog. Iggles_Phan responded but I felt his explanation was inaccurate and posted the rule. A few posted that I was misinterpreting the rule so I looked further and found that I was right and I was wrong. The ball can be kicked legally after it bounces while it is ascending. The league stated that Tuckers drop kick was illegal because he didn't kick it before its apex - their words not mine.

I'm done, everyone thanks for playing. 

Not exactly.  Those were the words used to interpret what the league actually said as written by a Wikipedia contributor.  That's not what the league said... unless you actually have that source.  The league, as far as I've ever seen, has said "as or immediately after" striking the ground.  Never seen the league actually say what was posted to wiki.  But that's why wiki isn't a credible source.

Probably an instagram filter.

Thats a problem for the Eagles with this new minority coaching thing.  Johnson leaves for coordinator job, and I think the Eagles get nothing... but if he goes from that team to HC, they get the picks.

 

Is that correct? Either way... I'd rather keep him around here as our OC when Steichen leaves, which seems almost guaranteed at this point, at the end of the year.

Yep, I believe it's still just people hired to become HC's and GM's.

Yep.  Johnson being promoted to OC if Shane gets hired elsewhere has a lot more value in multiple ways than hiring Frank Reich as OC.  I wonder if Reich would be willing to come in as a QB coach or some other senior role other than OC.  Either way keeping Johnson and promoting him gives the Eagles way more value in potentially getting draft picks if a team later hires him as a HC and also just continuity for Jalen going forward.

Sanders did have an awesome day blocking, which has probably been his biggest weakness.

Best part is the reply!

Fields will hit us with some tuns but not much other offense to be concerned about. Mush rush week

I am also fearful of Fields and his tuns. 😂

Rough stretch for the Howie can't draft crowd (I personally think he's average).

2022: Complete unknown
2021: Smith, Dickerson, Williams, Gainwell, Stoll
2020: Hurts, Quez
2019: Sanders, Opeta, Edwards, Herbig
2018: Goedert, Sweat, Maddox, Mailata

Fields>hurts

I'm not on the "Howie can't draft" wagon, but 2019 is not a great example to prove your point.

Dillard, JJAW, Sanders, Miller and Thorson...woof.

The 2020 draft can hilariously go down as the best of the bunch if Hurts keeps this level of play long term. Stole an MVP level QB.

Eagles are 19/25 76% on 4th down this season. 

 

They were 20/29 69% in 2017 when that was a big part of their success. 

 

The Jalen Hurts factor. QB1 for MVP.

It's been a rough stretch for that crowd on a lot of different fronts.

It's a bad draft, but every single team is going to have one bad draft in a 5 year period.
