Need to hope Lane and Brooks come back healthy, Kelce stays and Dillard pans out as serviceable so we have a good starting bunch and some depth. Those guys will all be here.
Reuben usually gives the common sense view. This is the most likely scenario to unfold.
Wentz doesn't want to be solely the back up. From what Ive heard (and Scheftar didn't for some odd reason do a good job with this for some reason) is Wentz doesn't want to go into this new season knowing he's the back up being paid starter money. He wants to be out there and given a fair chance. If he loses out competitiveness in him like many he would like to go elsewhere and start. it's a terrible situation for Wentz and I can't blame him for it. Yes We can blame his play thats on him but how much of that is contributed to how the Eagles have handled certain situations from Keeping a team cancer who talks poorly about him and isn't man enough to tell him at face value and clearly shows he won't play for him, giving a contract to you thats says Franchise QB ONLY TO GO AND DRAFT A QB IN THE 2ND RD, among other things. If I were him I'd be reacting the same way honestly. Anyone who doesn't fell sorry for the guy in some way do to how the team handled this either already didn't like the guy, doesn't follow football or hasn't followed every thing that has happened that led to this.
There were issues between Wentz and the team prior to Hurts being drafted. That's what you don't seem to understand. Yes I know Tebow's popularity. The Jets turned that into a circus themselves though.
I don't think this is necessarily true. Just last year, Carson ranked 9th in passer rating vs the blitz amongst all passers that had 200 attempts. This was just an exceptionally bad offensive line situation this year. It's even starting to get to Hurts.
I’m not aware of the local talk radio stuff. He should be the “#1” going into camp with a healthy team. Doesn’t mean he will leave camp that way, and the leash will be tight. My point was that they aren’t going to know the direction of their team until mid season
I think both stations at this point clearly are on the agenda of trying to get Carson out of town. Not sure why but I'm not surprised with Cataldi leading the charge as usually with his brainwashed cult of jabrony knuckle dragging neanderthals
That's expected. It's the younger guys like Giglio that have this ax to grind against Carson. Speaking like Hurts played a great game yesterday but just made a few mistakes. And he goes on and on about how Doug is this amazing coach that needs to be preserved at all cost since we messed up by letting Andy go.
Stations are into drumming up controversy to have hot takes and get people to listen. They are right that this issue will be prime content for them for the better part of the next year.
I think in 2017 or 18(Can't remember the year exactly) Carson was one of the best QBs on 3rd down when blitzed against as well
I'm not talking about Local Radio. I wouldn't even mention most of the radio Jabronies and I do not even listen to their dribble. National Reporter Adam Scheftar made a vague tweet/report that Carson Wentz didn't want to be in Philly if he was the back up which can be construed in several ways to fit any agenda. Considering I know a few people the report by Scheftar was too vague and surprisingly click baity for a guy who's usually pretty direct and detailed. I was pointing out if Carson knew he was the back up from seasons start he'd rather not be here. However he wants to be here long term even with everything considering the organization wise because he's built a life foundation here. From his charity, to community stuff, wife and son and a house. He has a lot invested in the area already. He just wants to be given a fair chance something it seems the Eagles haven't done for him and may have promised and didn't keep
You clearly don't know local radio here in Philly. It's a fast talking Jabrony from Conn who acts like he's the voice of Philly fans who roots for the Yankees and Jets, Who put the Dirty 30 together to boo the Eagles draft pick if it wasn't Ricky Williams, who enticed fans to throw batteries at JD Drew for not signing with the Phillies when he declined to after they drafted him and complete msiogynistic person, a guy on the other radio station who made fun of Victor Cruz tearing his knee, among other comments to people and fans he disagrees with that should've had him canned, half the other guys act like they know sports but have no clue what they talk about, and then every one of the are back stabbers and liars. Tony Bruno had a partner on the one show whos named escapes me (younger fans liked him who got let go by WIP) who they tried to keep away from one another get drama started just to get rid of the other guy. Bruno came out In 2015 with his own podcast and absolute blasted both stations airing so much dirty laundry it's hard for me to think why anyone would continue to listen to either station. This was after 97.5 got caught in faking one of their callers being the producers of the morning show and not being genuine with callers and such. Sports radio here is embarrassing and laughable. If one of us on here called with knowledgeable facts and data hard thought out common sense they'd instantly hang up on us and then with the next caller make fun of us. Its nothing but HS banter the sports radio shows here. Also they are all tough behind their microphones but when confronted by local athletes, coaches or orgs or fans who don't like they run like coward dogs.
Other than Hopkins (who was already a stud), none of these guys would have panned out here with our coaching. Metcalf and Jefferson would still be sitting behind Alshon and Adams would have been cut in year 2.
“I don't really care much about their grades tbh but Jalen Hurts has grades of 48, 56 and 49 the past 3 weeks. To put that into context, just looking at the last 3 weeks, he is 36th out of 38 QBs who have taken 20% of snaps. The only QBs below him are Nick Mullens and Big Ben“
There was no report that said that IIRC.
Yep. If you'd listen to certain people in this town, Jalen should be rookie of the year. Not even joking.
The consistency, at every level, has been absolutely insane. This team can barely sustain a decent drive let alone a solid quarter, half or game. There’s too many things that are broken and as cliche as it sounds it all starts upfront. That has been a constant all year and stated immediately with Brooks going down and than the revolving door at LT shortly thereafter.
That was an odd story by Schefter. He spent an awful lot of time walking back a story he still says is 100% accurate.
Yeah that was my bad typing late.And yes it was odd of Scheftar. 98% of what's gonna come out is BS. I have multiple things going on asking around. Stuff I've heard has come up as partially true, thats not true at all or the no comment. From at least 2 writers I know they've said their sources have even stopped talking which is odd as well. Something is definitely happening in the organization and no one knows what is what.
Right. Hurts is a 2nd round rookie who sees the field poorly.
He moved the ball in the first half of the year. It was around mid season (Cowboys game especially) that we started to see a dramatic decline. That was about 100 hits into the season then. Wonder how Jalen would look after 8 games behind this line?
Not sure why it quoted that post. I was responding to the one about moving the offense better than Wentz.
The question is, who are we going to need to cut to get under the cap, and how are we going to replace them?
Another fantastic piece here Ash!!!!! What I really love is it's very detailed but also uses words that even a casual fan could comprehend as well. Have you ever thought about doing your own blog of All 22 or maybe writing for an established blog? Even as like a guest writer every few weeks? I think you'd be great in that type of field.
Almost everyone that they can. It's going to be only rookies and UDFAs added next year. Plus a lot of restructuring. The cap lowering due to Covid really F'd their plans. I'm sure they'll figure a way around it.
Here's another one. I posted a comment on a Facebook status of John Clark the same night after the game. 1 guy agreed with me and then I had a bunch of people saying how we were wrong but couldn't give any real answers why and how they think Hurts is the answer. 68 comments under that now. One women from Alabama comment to me Hurts is ready. I asked her how she can be so confident and posted the splits Big put up. She commented again how she thought he was ready and thats her opinion. I asked her to at least look at what I posted and she said she didn't need to look at them. I called her ignorant and she accused me of starting issues. I said she is ignorant for not wanting to look at the numbers like so many like herself don't seem to like doing unless it benefits their agenda. Again she keeps repeating and includes she's entitled to her opinion. I eventually legit asked her if she was Hurts GF, a good friend, former classmate (She was from Alabama), family member etc, because if she was and knowing Jalen's character she didn't need to defend him on social media and she was doing him a disservice. Forget what she put other then she was entitled to her opinion and I just didn't understand that. I literally felt like I was arguing with a child and this women looked like she was in her late 20s early 30s.
This is why I think they keep Howie on for at least this year. I think Lurie trusts him enough in terms of trying to figure out the cap. If we didn't have Covid and all this happened I can definitely see Howie being fired or already terminated.
Yea, gonna be ugly though. We are going to suck next year too. I wonder, when people talk about 'giving Doug a year to turn it around' - I am not saying we shouldn't - but there might not be a coach in the world that could lead us to a good season.Insein said:
I'd imagine if he didn't listen to his coaches he's get blasted as well, but yea, at some point - forget 'scheme fit' and just take the best player.
Agreed and it’s a loss-lose based on the reports. No doubt Jefferson has played well but in no way could I look at what he’s done and think he’d do the same here. There’s many reasons behind it too. They’re getting better coaching, QB play, surly better OL play, one of the best RB’s in the game and a WR (Theilan) to take coverage.
