Jalen Carter had six pressures Sunday. That’s a great game regardless of him going to the ground a bunch. 

No one has said he had a poor game.  He was anything but poor overall.  The Giants did a very good job of mitigating the damage he was doing.  Six pressures out of 32 snaps is a much lower percentage of pressures than we had seen from him in the first three games

New England 40 snaps with 6 pressures and a sack in 32 pass rushes (see LINK)

Minnesota 28 snaps with 4 pressures in approximately 22 pass rushes

Tampa Bay 21 snaps with 5 pressures in 16 pass rushes (see this LINK and this LINK )

Through three weeks "Carter ranks seventh in pressure percentage among 195 qualified pass rushers (minimum 36 pass rush snaps) with a 20.5 percent rate"

I'm not sure where you got your 6 pressures stat, but according to PFF (see LINK) "Eagles' Jalen Carter continues to make an early DROY case: He racked up five pressures against Washington en route to a 73.9 overall grade, and his 92.2 season-long grade leads all defensive tackles."  5 pressures in 36 total snaps (approximately 31 pass rush snaps is approximately a 13.9 percent rate, which is very good, but well below the 20.5 percent rate he amassed in games 1 through 3.14

Always thought it was kind of funny how people would dismissively say "it’s a rugby play” without consulting the guy who actually played rugby.

Eagles need a second center since Jurgens was Kelce's backup.  I'm thinking they activate Good-Jones from the practice squad and keep Steen inactive.  None of the other seven Eagles active OLs can play center.  They will put Jurgens on IR and elevate Mann to the active roster.  Since it looks like Covey will be out they will call up Ward from the practice squad to return punts and be the extra WR.

Good point

And welcome to the Blog!

ESPN had it at 6, which was a season high. Again, you said they handled him quite well. That’s absurd. 

Lol

Seriously, what's trolling about that stat?

They could have called holding OR tripping on that play.

But have to call PI on Darius Slay.

Again, we will have to agree to disagree.  14.0% success rate is 33% lower than the 20.5% success rate that he had in the three prior games ... games in which he had 1.5 sacks and several forced fumbles. 

Just to humor you I will go through your video and give my assessment of each snap.

It isn't the stat itself.  Rather it is YOU posting that stat.  You should learn to shut up about Hurts, and just sit back and enjoy his play.

My soft take: Jalen Carter had a good game for a DT on Sunday, but a bad game for him. He got pressure, but was on the ground too much and couldn't close on sacks. He was still disruptive which allowed others to have sacks.

Maybe apply that advice to you and Carter?

I am enjoying this play.  Maybe you should bend over, grab ahold of the large stick that is currently lodged up your ass and pull that out if you have issue with me posting a stat showing that Hurts has the highest winning percentage of QBs in the regular season since 2021.

I'm more mad that he waited as long as he did to let that rip.   If he throws it 'on time', OZ has a chance to catch it and has time to turn up field.   He was late on that throw... making it a tougher throw than it should have been.   Throwing it before OZ makes the break means there's space for OZ, as you can see the LB is flat footed.   Waiting for the break, the LB breaks on the cut by OZ and closes immediately.   Was it a great throw?  Sure.  Did it need to be great?  Yes.  But, why did it need to be great?  

He should be delivering the ball in the first screenshot.   By delaying he gives the LB time to adjust to the route.  It was a huge conversion at a critical time, but it wasn't a 'great play' by Hurts.  It was a good play where it could have been better.  Ironically, if it had been executed better by delivering the ball sooner, it likely wouldn't have been as noteworthy because it would have looked too easy.  But, that's where he needs to get.  He needs to get better in the anticipation and throwing on the cut, or before the cut to these guys in the tight zones.

He's running a curl route not a corner route.  He's stopping so there's no real RAC even if he gets the ball sooner.  I don't think it was late.  He probably helped the receiver by waiting so the DB couldnt better undercut the route.

No question. It was nice of him to pretend he was humoring me though.

The Giants are going to turn Neal in for betting against them on Draft Kings.

Fair enough.  My comment, which Manu took exception to was about the Commanders O-Line, not Carter.
