For the record, football analytics have long showed that Week 1 outcomes and quality of win/loss has no bearing on how teams play in weeks 2-18. All it does is effect the total regular season record. This has been true even when preseason went 4 games and starters often played a full quarter in...
No big plays but I did see him drop in coverage and take away a read (QB looked off that one) and then another where the QB tried to squeeze it into a tight spot but the WR did not want to go to full extension for the catch in the middle of that mess. Chenal might have walloped him.
Seems like...
There exists a very real scenario where Brandon Coleman does well at LT. Then in 2027 Tunsil is back, we declare Conerly a bust and move Coleman to RT.
Still excited about some stuff, but it's pretty clear we're not a Superbowl Caliber roster. Lots of pluses...but some glaring issues that well-rounded teams would exploit.
I think it's going to be a fun season, but I'm not really sure what that means for W/L.
There is some credit to the thought that Biadascz might have struggled with line calls, blocking assignments, and the like. Dallas had no intention of re-signing him either.
Interesting Bold Prediction. 2027 draft is supposed to be loaded too.
Another version of it, would be declaring Conerly a bust (if he doesn't improve) and moving Coleman to RT.
Maybe infallable was not the exact word used but this was criticism mentioned by local reporters from Quinn.
Kliff preferred to not adjust game plans to opponents and only did marginal adjustments because he thought his scheme and his normal plans were capable of beating any defense.
The...
Well, I simply disagree about Kliff. I think ignoring his failures and fully crediting Kliff after Jayden performed miracles is also revisionist history.
He had a large amount of flaws in his scheme and him pretending the scheme was infallible was whacko. His play calling became worse and...
The problem might just be scheme. They don't want the starters out there doing a scheme they haven't been practicing because they don't want to show the Eagles the scheme they actually are practicing.
Cause Sonny Styles usage in Preseason Game 1 was not what they have been practicing.
Do they...
Supposedly it works well to attract the borderline guys, UDFA guys etc as a team that does well by them. So agents are more likely to recommend this team over a team that doesn't.
Supposedly. I'm not sure if that theory actually holds water or not.
