He looks mediocre at best. When you see him run, than Sanders, than Howard it’s hard to explain why he was such a focal point of the offense early on.
You usually have good insight but I think you watched the game with your Anti-Sproles glasses on. He did not look below mediocre today. Cmon man.
I already started scouting DBs. I'll be handing in my homework to my co workers son before the draft. He'll probably just look at me and laugh though. Worth a try.
I liked Minshew and we should've drafted him if we were taking a QB. I just meant from a stand point of money paid and the fact he can't stay healthy
When you watched him and the other 2 you cane away feeling what exactly? He was better? Impossible.
The decision to keep him on the team wasn't between him and Sanders/Howard. It was between him and Smallwood/Adams/Etc. Yes, I think he's better than those guys and am glad we kept him.
That debate is over. And has been.
Agree 100%. Doug’s fascination with Sproles is difficult to understand. With Sanders and Howard healthy he should touch the ball 6 times tops on offense and sprinkle in his PR.
35 might be too many in this offense. Swap Howard and Sproles carries today and I'm good with it. I'm sure the plan isn't to use Sproles that much all year... just using him while he's fresh and healthy
Howard averaged 7+ ypc today. He was running people over. 35 might be too many but he needs at least 10 carries per game.35 might be too many in this offense.

Go back a few pages where I get laughed at for suggesting Howard was possibly only a tier below Melvin Gordon. He has better numbers over his career than Gordon AND they ran that stat during the game that he has the most yards after contact of ANY RB the last three years.
He will still be the starter in LA if he comes back halfway through the year. He lost any chance of getting paid maybe, but they're not going to leave him on the bench if he reports.
Go look up,all the numbers. Gordon has benefited from playing with Rivers. When had Howard ever had a great QB? He’s got better numbers on much worse career circumstances. Anyway, who cares. Howard is our guy and I’m happy about it. And I’m really happy Wentz was able to throw deep hopefully dispelling that narrative that he couldn’t.Deamon said:
I think it was the last drive of the game. Someone kind of rolled his ankle from what I recall and it didn’t seem serious from what I remember.
They went Safety heavy, and LB light, inmost D packages. That's a trend I think we'll see continue in the league. I just don't think he's really the kind of player that you want doing that.
Not often, but he did commit the holding call that wiped off the Miles Sanders TD run.
I agree. I don't think Desean will have many 8-154-2 games again this year but this game will strike fear into every Def Coordinator we play for the rest of the year. They will take the shorter gains over being burned for 50+ yard bombs. Ertz, Goerdert, Sanders, Howard, Agholar, Alshon; they thrive in the short to mid range.
Still a rookie but the course of the game was dictated by Djax in this one. I think there will be a new top scorer each week in the Eagles offense.I didn’t get to see any of the game. Was JJAW on the field at all?
There was a lot of hype about him leading up to the season. He’s looking pretty droppable.
very pleased with my Wentz investment. He keeps putting up numbers like this and he’s top 5 easily.
The game is much, much different if Keenum slightly resembles being an NFL QB after we went up 21-20. Him missing that WR who was wide open for another long TD was huge.
“Holding”
There was? I think anyone in here would have said he's more of a next year and beyond player. I'd be shocked if he does much this season barring a Alshon injury.I didn’t get to see any of the game. Was JJAW on the field at all?

This is misleading. Pass D got crushed by injuries mid season, and got better later season. A ton of very young players got meningful time. It was more then reasonable to assume between better health and natural progression of all that youth the pass D would improve WITHOUT making any big moves
Leading up the last two weeks of the preseason he had a huge game, and the Eagles started hyping him up.
