He also made really good adjustments at halftime of the Rams game and they dominated that 2nd half. I feel like we've been complaining about halftime adjustments for years, it was nice to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so nice to have a DC who can make adjustments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a minimum, change it up and get a different look out there for the Defense to see. Almost every play - it seems - Hurts is in shotgun with an RB to his right/left. Put Hurts under Center, have 1 or 2 RBs in the backfield, motion out 1 RB, BOOM a handoff to Penny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we could get a Rashad Penny sighting. I would love to see the guy run the ball. Heard he is a tough powerhouse type back. Seems we could've used a guy like that these last few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Maybe there's another problem we're unaware of - like in the QB room with the QB coach, or like with the QB's knee - in addition to any shortcomings of BJ as an OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles fans need to get real, they're ****ing about a rookie OC who currently has the offense comfortably top 10 in pretty much every offensive category there is. Is he running the offense perfectly? No, not at all, but there are 20 - 25 teams in the league that would take our offensive problems off our hands right now no questions asked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norseman Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I can't shake the feeling that they are stingy with the playbook. Its like they want to run a vanilla offense with junk teams (ie. Jets) and even early in games against tougher opponents. The playbook in the first half last night was terrible I thought. But, they came out after half running some much more creative looks....then things kind of went off the rails again. Obviously, there is no excuse for the log throw to AJ on 3rd and 3 with the game on the line, but I think that was more on Hurts. Maybe they just don't have enough creative plays? Or maybe, they are trying not to use them until absolutely necessary? I dunno, but we got lucky last night and its just a matter of time before our luck runs out.

And if that was an audible by Hurts, then I would hope Siri and average Johnson would chew him out at some point during film study. Be that as it may, I am still not impressed with average Johnson. I prefer above average Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Seems like he needs to understand situational football a little better. Sometimes we have a certain down and distance and the play just doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
