Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

[J Shuttlesworth]

We all water, we all fertilize, we all do our part.

Just need to cut down the penalties in the second half.

AJ Brown is ******* awesome!

 

[Warsaw]

I mean phew....but geez.

 

[Southerntakeover]

I will never understand the Gannon hype.

 

[Jatz]

I will never understand the Gannon hype.

Is there hype? He's the single greatest problem with this team.

 

[Jatz]

Nick going off at the end was a bit much. We just conceded 35 points to Goff and the Lions.

Looooooots to work on defensively ahead of the Vikings.

He got head coaching interviews last year!

 

[Jatz]

He got head coaching interviews last year!

I can only assume absolutely no one watched any film on his defence.

I actually forgot about the head coaching interviews, I remember hoping he'd take one haha.

Good to see Hurts looking better at times as a passer but he cant keep running so much each game, there's no way he'll see out the season, someone will take one for their team & take his head off sooner or later.

& yeah Gannon's got some work to do, all that supposed talent on D & they still suck.

38 points was a good result but it was the same old problems I have with Hurts.

Doesn't pick up the blitz well at all and as you say, runs far too often.

 

[Jatz]

I'm also really disappointed with the lack of targets to Smith. May as well not have bothered suiting up.

 

[rumply]

Probably the most underrated part of Hurts game was his protection of the ball both as a runner & passer, cant remember one throw that looked like it could be picked.

Yeah, the problem is this really didnt feel all that different- an unsustainable way to win and not on Jalen's arm.

I've got concerns about whether he's capable of driving the high powered offence we have- will he be able to share the ball around and get enough touches to Goddert and Smith as well as Brown, or is he just going to go Brown focussed until someone works out how to take that away and happy scramble?

The weapons are there, this shouldnt be a team winning on the quarterbacks legs.

Think we all have doubts but that line has to give him some time back there & they consistently allowed a free rusher all game.

In part because he can't read blitzes

Yep, that was really concerning. Not sure if it was the way the Lions were lining up (first time I'd really noticed two defenders lining up on top of each other) but the O Line certainly seemed confused on who they were picking up at times.

The first one in that video you posted is a perfect example of them just missing someone. I don't know where the * Mailata was looking but that was so clearly his man.

In part because he can't read blitzes

This absolutely does not help. He's shocking at it. Someone needs to get him to sit and watch a whole lot of film.

 

[rumply]

Barnett with an ACL done for the season, not the biggest loss, should help our overall penalty situation

 

[Jatz]

Ugh bugger it. I forgot he even got helped off.

Doesn't help our cause but there are worse players to go down.

 

[Jatz]

Just about perfect today. Vikes were awful but you can only play who's on the field.

Slay absolutely incredible.

was impressed with Sanders also, was running with control not just as fast as possible. Those o-line penalty's though

Yep penalties still a problem.

We've got a pretty easy start to the season though so hopefully we can iron them out nice and quickly before the bigger challenges come.

if we are legit we should be 6-0 at the bye (Washington, Jacksonville, Arizona, CowPukes)

 

[rumply]

Think it's safe to say now that Hurts has substantially improved his passing, very impressive today. Good to see the defence put in a solid showing after last week's shamozzle.
