I mean, this is of course correct. However, if we know that then Sirianni knows that. Asking Hurts to throw the ball an average of 35 times per game is ridiculous. The dude should be averaging 20 passes a game, tops. He's only got two games under 34 attempts (23 against SF and 26 against TB).
This is why I was guessing that maybe he hits them in practice? I can’t recall if the beats said he was doing this poorly in their joint practices this year or between games.
Eagles likely blow them out. There's plenty of talent on the offensive side after Hurts.
They needed room for the waiver claim of Sinnett. Once the Flacco trade goes through, they will re-sign him (vested vet, so he doesn't go on waivers.)
Alex Singleton in coverage among all NFL players:
He really is. After last years draft and some of these deals I almost want him to hang around a year lol.
We've always said he's not bad at the maneuving part of the game and he does hit some picks. Just really bad at top level drafting. If only we had a guy that could feed him the right info on who to draft we'd be golden.
I'm betting Wilson is hurt more than they are saying and will not risk him coming back ROS if they can avoid it
I forgot about it but someone on Twitter pointed out the compensation for Minshew was a 6th that could become a 5th if Minshew plays more than 50% of the snaps in 3 games. Not a huge difference but I doubt the Eagles will play him if they don’t have to.
Well, it's getting close to halfway through the year, they can try it out for 5-7 games
You are over-estimating the % of runs because you're counting scrambles as rushes. Throw those out and Philly is near the bottom in run %
Lamar Jackson leads all QBs with 76 attempts. Hurts is 2nd with 66.
Of course, he went from #3 to #2. How much they went up, no idea - but for sure they did.
This is the only reason we might see a change at some point. It won't be because they are trying to win more games or give Minshew an audition to be "the guy." And it also probably won't mean anything, either way, on what the owner and GM think they have in Hurts. It actually might help complete their evaluation of Hurts.
I still believe this was Lurie giving Howie enough rope to hang himself with, for lack of a better phrase. Howie made his bed with the Wentz and Doug situation and obviously was the guy who wanted Hurts for whatever reason you want to get behind. They 100% need to see the Hurts evaluation through before deciding on what options to take in FA or the draft.
Well its also the owner, who questions coaches after W's why we didn't pass the ball more in a game where winds were 30 MPH.
from Twitter: "That’s just Fletch’s read. Looked like he was supposed to stunt outside over the pick set by Sweat and misread it as a leaking RB."
I really want (but not really) this to be a thing but there seems to be no smoke there. There is a TON of smoke around Howie every since he’s risen up the ranks though.
I'm not trying to argue, b/c to some degree I guess hiring Chip was sort of against my theory.
