Sam Howell to the Eagles. I worry he might have improved under O’Connell.
Edit: wrong thread
Absolutely. Last year the defense was less talented for sure but there were also times when the issue was players being out of position, particularly on run defense. The secondary seemed to get better as the season went on, which was Whitt’s history of excellent.
In his second year as DC I...
Agree, but it’s also an indication of team depth. Right now it looks like our starters are really good, our second team is NFL credible, and our third string doesn’t belong in the league. Overall all it’s likely we will be OK but we have had seasons with multiple injuries at a position. I...
According to Quinn they both have shown substantial improvement this year, albeit still not where they need to be apparently. I still have hopes, too early still to cut bait on their potential. My understanding is TE and WR often take a couple of years to develop into NFL ready. Particularly...
I posted this before but Rodriquez led the league in “Rushing success rate “ last year
Rushing success rate is defined by yards needed for a first down: a successful rush is 40% of yards needed on first down, 60% on second down, 100% on third or fourth. The two big caveats here are that CRod...
Maybe. I think this regime will recognize the Hartman experiment is over and find a developmental QB cut from another team to take his place on the ps.
Someone correct me if the rules prevent that.
I admit I have been fantasizing about Rodriguez and Bill becoming our thunder and lightning combo by next year. One concern is not knowing how Bill would hold up as a featured back at his weight, don’t know but I do wish he weighed a bit more if they are sending him straight up the middle on...
Coleman has a year of games in the league and did play some guard in college, He just doesn't have a year in the league at guard, but they know he has the chops, both athletically and from what they have seen so far in camp I assume. You are right though, he does need some time in the...
This. It’s apparently important to save face. Maybe give him a fourth year non-guaranteed at $40m to bring up the average. Or add a bunch of incentives. Or both.
Yeah Deiter looked badly outclassed last year, painfully so. Not sure how he has made it so long in this league. But yet they brought him back so.. there he is. I thought Allegretti could also play center and would be first choice at backup center/guard. Was I wrong about that?
I do think...
If he sits the first 7 games then we don’t have to pay him for those and he would be back for the last 10 and the playoffs. Including both Philly games. Even if we lost an extra game I still expect playoffs this year.
At this point I’m just waiting for him to wake up. The bluff didn’t...
