Eagles round 2. Pregame

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'll say this: based on all the articles I'm reading, people are REALLY picking us. I hate that, lol. We're running into them after three shitty games, much like the Cardinals.

But 69 you're right, if we don't get any pressure on Wentz then that's not good. Agree, Kerrigan needs to be a factor. Baker too, we need the pocket to collapse a bit and make Wentz feel it.

I see my early season angst with RK not showing up has caught some wind in its sails. Seems like only yesterday I was being lambasted for suggesting that he is meh.

Does he? Damn those are some quiet sacks.

Smith has taken 574 total snaps, 71.22% of all D snaps.
Murphy has taken 472 snaps, 58.56%.

I think its about time for Murphy to start.

Exactly. The quietest ten sacks ever. You could say the same thing for many other years.
And yes start Murphy for the love of God!

He has a habit of completely not showing up for a game. Even if he has 2 sacks he is invisible for the other 40 plays.
Again, he is not thee biggest problem by any stretch. But a first round pick needs to get more consistent pressure. You know stats do not always tell the whole story.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to RK. He's on pace for a career high, he's got at least one sack in 7 of his last 8 games. He gets plenty of pressures along with sacks. GTFOH.

He has 10 sacks but it's really not telling the entire story. He has disappeared for long stretches, as has Smith. The sack he got last week was really all Norman coming off the edge on a corner blitz. RK basically fell into that one. Plus he's been getting abused on the bootlegs.

It's really not a big shocker that we desperately need to upgrade our pass rush.

Never did I suggest he was meh, and never did I put any wind in those sails. I just said he needs to be a factor. I never said he hasn't been a factor.

Well in all fairness, 69 made the remark that he "wants to see rk show the fuck up this week" because the d has been horrible. You agreed. I thought is Schneed just making an obvious blanket statement about him having a good game? Than thought , nah, he is agreeing that rk needs to "finally" show the fuck up. Guess i read it wrong but it came across as you piling on. No biggie. We all want every skin to show up every week. I actually think RK will have a big game. Mainly because i called him out. I know he follows me on Tapatalk.

Do you not think it is possible to register a sack and still have a sub par game overall?

Basically this. Run the damn football Gruden! Feed Fat Rob! Feed Fat Rob! Feed Fat Rob! And then play action for the bomb to Jackson!

Hhhmmmmm....what was that play? Sprint bomb?

Im looking to see when Ryan got his sacks. He has 10 sacks and sometimes gets decent pressure but he hasnt been overly impactful imo. He has 29 tackles, 10 sacks .. so he has made 19 tackles through 11 games that arent sacks. He did get 2.5 sacks against the Eagles though ...

Cards Game - RK had 2 total tackles (which includes the sack)

2nd and 3 at WSH 32
(0:48 - 2nd) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Palmer sacked at WAS 41 for -9 yards(R.Kerrigan).

Boys Game- RK had 5 total tackles

2nd and 9 at WSH 46
(9:53 - 2nd) (No Huddle, Shotgun) D.Prescott sacked at DAL 49 for -5 yards (R.Kerrigan). Penalty on DAL-T.Smith, Offensive Holding, declined.

Packers Game - RK had 1 tackle, the sack he got.

3rd and 5 at WSH 8
(4:19 - 2nd) (Shotgun) A.Rodgers sacked at WAS 18 for -10 yards (R.Kerrigan).

-----------------------------

I only looked at his last 3 games but they all came on shotgun formations. To me that means he can beat his guy 1 on 1. I imagine the sack rate for shotgun is higher bc shotgun plays are usually longer route developing plays. Also I think RK excels at the outside speed rush so getting sacks on shotgun makes sense.

The fact we spend so much time dissecting one of our better players just amazes me.

It's like whining about your windshield wipers when the engine doesn't run.
