Sadly, I never got to see him play.  But Ryans, most definitely.

They banned it on Field Goals because the longsnapper literally has his head down.  Kelce is looking right at the defender when he snaps it.

I'm being greedy with nasty DT now. I want Taylor next to Carter and Davis. You can move Williams before he's due a big extension.

 

Jer'Zhan Newton was best player on the field against PSU..  Was a one man wrecking crew

I think this is the week we finally beat the brakes off of a team.

From what i remember about the Commanders is that Terry McLaurin and Jonathan Allen seem to take it to another level when they play us 

Speed WRs give our CBs more issues than size WRs. One of the reasons we kept Godwin in check. Evans is both big and fast, but he's a potential HOF WR.

The Washington OL is really, really, really, really, bad. Unlike last year, they won't be able to run Brian Robinson for 20 3 yard gains and chew up clock. We should win comfortably as long as we don't turn the ball over.

Eagles: 34

Commanders: 18

 

Eagles get at least 5 sacks.

Speaking as a former long snapper... you throw the ball between your legs and then just wait to get rolled by multiple guys.

Did the same in HS/college. Always feared someone rolling in to my knees when at most vulnerable the most. Luckily rules changed to help.

Fascinating stuff. Carter really is in the best possible position he could have ever dreamed of.

 

From the ESPN piece on Eagles decision to draft Carter:

Described by teammates, coaches and team employees as quiet and guarded, Carter can be a challenge to get a read on, especially as he adapts to a new environment. That task has been made easier with a group of former Georgia players known as the Philly Dawgs: Davis, Dean, Smith and cornerback Kelee Ringo.

Georgia's coaching staff, sources said, felt Carter was a different person when around Davis, who has remained a strong influence to this point on the pro level.

"Knowing those signs. Knowing when he doesn't feel like talking, knowing when he doesn't feel like being bothered with. It's just little stuff like that," Davis said of how his outgoing personality blends with Carter, who is more introverted. "Everybody has their days. Human nature. If you can pick up on that body language, if you can pick up on how he's feeling. I've been with him so long I know what kind of day he's having."

Other veterans, meanwhile, have also been assisting Carter. Graham was one of the first people to approach Carter when he came into the building and was quick to show him the ropes. And Cox has been a constant in his ear.

"Fletch is a very good guy," Carter said. "He talks to me every day, calls me. Even when we were [on break] he was calling me every day, checking on my weight. He's been doing that ever since."

Cox and Graham are in the twilight of their careers. One of the reasons the Eagles brought them back for their 12th and 14th seasons, respectively, is to show the up-and-coming players how to attack their crafts. They have both legacy and another Super Bowl run on the line, double the reason to pour their energy into bringing the best out of Carter.

"I told him, I'm trying to get him paid for his family," Graham said, "so just make sure you come in and follow me, follow the guys because we've got a good group, and get to work."

I suspect the "best possible position" works both ways ... for Davis as well as for Carter.

Do you think Sherman had that cold take because:

A- He's on drugs again?

B - He's drunk and crashed his car again?

C - He's still upset that he could not drunkenly attack his brother in-law?

D - He was, is now, and always will be an a-hole?

E A G L E S - All of the above?

Sounds like @hputenis on a friday night

This will be the best pass rush Hurts has faced this season, Washington's strength is their defensive front. Hope he doesn't hear footsteps and bail constantly in this game.
