His last 6 games he has 33 receptions for 533 yards and 4 tds. That’s an average of 88.9 yards per game on 5.5 receptions and a 16.2 yards per catch. If he did that pace for 17 games it would equate to 1510 yards, 93.5 receptions and 11.3 tds

I'm going to go ahead and take credit for starting the feed DeVonta and get him the ball down field and in open space cries about that same time frame.  My guess is the coaching staff was reading the blog and thought, damn if that's not a good idea.  You're welcome.

I traded him to @LeanMeanGM a couple weeks back and he’s blown up since. I’ll take a thank you

Is AJ hurt?

No, Smith is just better.  They are both great in their own way however.  One thing that's stuck out and while not alarming or anything but the last 2 weeks, Brown has had a chance to run away from the DB and he just labors.  Once AJ Brown has to run 45 yards he turns in to Jason Dunn.

DeVonta already has more TDs and catches than D-Jax in their first 2 years. Needs 138 more yards in the next games to take the lead in yards as well.

Safe to say he is having the best career start of any Eagles WR ever.

Found this interesting per Reub's 10 Observations (the only thing he's good at).  What do we have in Darius Slay?  The lockdown CB from the first 8 games....or the absolute bum from the last 6?

 The first eight games this year, opposing quarterbacks had a 37.2 passer rating when targettting Slay, 2nd-lowest among all corners (James Bradberry was No. 1). The last six games – not including Dallas – Slay ranked 92nd out of 93 corners last with a 136.9 opposing QB passer rating on 18-for-26 for 241 yards, three TDs and no TDs. And that’s not including Saturday night.

Which probably has something to do with a pro-bowl safety getting hurt.  Would they have thrown his way on 3rd and 30 with him lurking behind him?  The rest I can't justify.

Good point.  I said it last week, CGJ is my priority signing on defense.  After watching today's game, White and Edwards can walk.  Hargrave comes back if it's a 3-year deal.

I’d add it could also be he’s going to be 32 next week. He’s not young anymore. I’m guessing he could use another bye and taking a week off or two.  

So devonta smith is 12th receiving yards after today. If the eagles play everyone the last two games have a shot at both brown and smith finishing in the top 10. Smith is currently just 36 yards from being in 10th.

Incredible! Absolutely sensational to have 2 WRs potentially make the top 10 in receiving yards. And what a turnaround for this team after years without a 1000 yard WR.

Merry Christmas to all

Yeah he’s been really poor recently. 

We’re going to beat the breaks off of NO, greatly improve our top pick, secure first round bye, and let Gardner have one more game of free agency audition against a NYG who will be resting starters as well in week 18

Merry Xmas. 

Merry Christmas. Not that anyone cares right now but the Raiders loss dropped us to 10th in the draft order, per Tankathon.

 

There were 3 real fumbles in the game and Dallas recovered all 3. One of which we actually recovered, but given that the game was in Dallas, the refs gave it to them. Same thing happened in 2018. 

We'll beat them in the playoffs. Merry Christmas.

merry Christmas

There was also an oddly heavy usage of Gainwell over Sanders early and often in the game, especially on a redzone trip. Gotta believe that was an attempt to keep Miles healthy in a mostly meaningless game and lessen his load u til the playoffs where he's see a heavy workload. 

I think they just did it so Dallas couldn’t sub to be honest.

Yep, we got a big ol' lump of coal from LV for Christmas. I don't think anything went our way yesterday.

Or it's because Gainwell is just as good as Miles Sanders is

So when is cjg supposed to be available
