Like I said in the previous post I don't think it's vastly worse. Just a bit. Id have to go back and look at rosters from 12 to say where I'd put it. I'm not inclined to spend that kind of time.
I don't think it's safe to call anyone's opinion wrong just because I totally agree with it.
Not to argue, but just a few posts up you were saying they must know talent if they were scouts. Now you're kinda on par with Eagles' fans that in 3 years, Chip didn't take a top 5 roster and decimate it. We agree on that at least no matter what a couple of former scouts say on a podcast.
I said I value their opinion. I didn't say whatever it is you're trying to claim here.
You posted that 2 former scouts ripped on Chip saying he took a top 5 roster and decimated it. Eagles' fans disagreed; you said that since they're scouts, their opinion must mean something. Seems most of us (you included) agree that statement is pretty much bunk. That's all.You think the WR position might have something to do with that? We all pretty much agree that's a problem. The explosive plays have diminished. We need better than Miles Austin and Riley Cooper. No one to stretch the field.
Who's fault is that? Chip the GM for getting no one better in here or Chip the coach for not coaching up Huff, Agholar and Matthews?
You're pretty good at misrepresenting things.
What's misrepresented?? They are all your words and posts. You said yourself the team isn't much worse. That's hardly "decimated".You're pretty good at misrepresenting things.
Chip's fault, certainly. I don't know what your point is. No one says the team is perfect. In fact, there are many issues to address.
So like I, and others, have said the statement that Chip has decimated a top 5 roster is bunk. Even if 2 former scouts put it on a podcast. We're in agreement.
So you tend to agree Chip inherited a top 5 roster.
But they're currently only a bit less talented. So are they close to a top 5 roster now? Or just a bit less?
Agree about the special teams although I have to believe that has more to do with Parkey getting hurt. At least I hope so. Remember we have a kicker that was on the street week 2 of the season. Parkey was definitely better last year though.
That roster won 4 games with one of the greatest NFL coaches to ever walk a sideline (if you believe the national media).
I love Parkey don't get me wrong, but they kind of lucked into that one too. He made two 50 yarders in the last preseason game otherwise we were getting Henery back again.
It's not a TV segment.. Get with it. Then again, you still think I'm a skins fan because of the S. Taylor pic so that might take a while.
Your act is tired, take it somewhere else.It's not a TV segment.. Get with it. Then again, you still think I'm a skins fan because of the S. Taylor pic so that might take a while.
You know how to ignore, right?Your act is tired, take it somewhere else.It's not a TV segment.. Get with it. Then again, you still think I'm a skins fan because of the S. Taylor pic so that might take a while.
Probably fair. And he did start varying tempo and calls more after the first few games when everyone was saying how predictable they were. I guess I would like to see more variety in the game plans and throwing in different looks. Honestly, when he came here, I thought that he was the kind of guy that would be looking for different angles to exploit each week and figure out how to change up in response to that. So that's been disappointing.
Still waiting for someone, anyone to answer want he doesn't use more 2 TE sets and get presumably his best package on the field? Murray is a fish out of water in that offense. It would be nice to see him run less plays out of shotgun when he's in the game. I thought given his college experience this project would go much smoother. Missed that one.
Why would year 3 of his tenure be year 1 of the dismantling?
TD to beat Dallas in OT, scoring 27 straight on MNF against the Giants.
Late to the party, but jurb you are definitely the one is misrepresenting things here. I don't know why you're having trouble following Amused's posts. Follow close:You're pretty good at misrepresenting things.
Because we have no other thing to base it on. There is also a very good possibility (That you're not allowing to be a possibility) that the players would have regressed had they stayed on the Eagles team. Some players have great years for a team, and then the next year their numbers go down. The fact that these players' numbers have gone down once they've left Philly aren't ALWAYS because they're just in a new situation and not EVERY player would have continued or improved the next year under the same system.
Yes but you know he's had major decision making privelegs since he got here. I could maybe give Howie some credit/blame but too many picks are uncharasteric of Howie. Has Chips finger prints all over it. I.E. Marcus Smith.
Can't say I was too thrilled going OT w Cassell.
Wrong, I said I "tend" to agree with them. You've carried out a lot of assumptions based on misrepresenting that first thing. I also rather clearly said in my post "how good is debatable" in reference to the 12' roster. I never made claims for where I'd rank that roster. Even if that wasn't clear early on, I gave my more specific opinion on the roster several times. There is no reason to keep giving it. It's really not a that difficult a thing to understand. I agree with the notion that he inherited a good team and it's worse now. I agree with the premise but not every detail.
You think Chip has the time to be head coach of a team in must win games and scour FA and practice squads for talent right now? And prep for 2016 draft and FA while you're at it. There's a number of WR's floating around that's worth a look. I don't think anything will happen. Austin just has to execute
the Eagles already picked Murray to be the horse. He's getting 24 to 28 touches a game and has been very successful. Mathews can't be more than a change of pace back because he's way too fragile. He's already been nicked up a couple times and is only seeing limited touches. Also, I'd Sanchez gets this offense firing on all cylinders for the next game or two, I don't think anyone here would be opposed to sticking with him. And since Chip wants to win, I'm sure he'd feel the same.
