Do not want. He lives in the cold tub. Plus he really isn't all that much better than what we currently have.

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
the only way I feel things change around here is if we draft a superstar type of QB. we need a guy that people will want to pay to see. we saw it in 2012. maybe to a lesser extent w/ Cousins at the end of 2015 - but we need a cornerstone type of guy that the city can gravitate to, the type of guy that can carry the team if needed. if we go out and get Mariota or Jimmy G it isn't going to change anything. we gotta get that guy in the draft., probably 2023 or beyond. .. :-(

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
Story of the game is simple IMO.
Can't sustain 60 minutes of football with an OL constituted of: slow LT - 3rd string LG with bad hands - 3rd string center - Banged up RG - Back up RT Unless of course you have Russel Wilson, Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes as your QB. Which we don't. Defense did as good as we could except considering they had no depth at DE, were playing LB David Mayo most of the game because Jamin Davis was obviously not 100%, had Danny Johnson (who I actually think is a quality depth guy) Reaves and Corn "the F did you come from" Edler out there for way too many snaps... Fuller had a solid game. Settle, Allen and Ioannidis played well.

With Davis still not recovered from whatever illness he caught, playing your base 4-3-4 was not an option. So it was either Nickel 4-2-5 (enter Danny Johnson), or Dime 4-1-6 (enter Corn Edler), or the 5 man front 5-2-4, maybe they did a bit of 5-1-5 (not sure), but it's not like they had crazy depth at DE either, so very limited in what they could show in terms of personnel and rotation.

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
Read from one of the local reporterrs that they played Mayo to free up Cole Holcomb. Ron and co seem to have come to the conclusion that neither Holcomb or Davis is a MLB. One of the things that I find most disturbing about this staff and FO is how long it takes them to realise what seemed obvious to every outside observer months ago. We all hoped we were wrong, but deep down we I think we all recognised the fact.
Likewise that they still don't have a WR2 to take attention away from Terry. I have been on the fence all season regarding Leno, good dude no doubt but, is he the long term (or at least medium) solution at LT, I don't think so. Last edited by EdmundDorf; 01-03-2022 at 08:07 AM. |

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
It took them way too long to figure out Collins was not a DB .. when they finally moved him to hybrid LB he played a lot better .. it just takes these coaches too long to adjust .. they never adjust during game … B Mitchell is saying a lot of it is a coach/coordinator issue .. he could be right

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
Another great example, though that was somewhat to do with his resistance to playing that role but the staff shouldn't have allowed that to influence their assessments

Re: Eagles @ WTF 2.0 post game thread
They messed up w/ Davis from day one. Common sense would tell you that starting him in the middle when he has played so little football isn't going to be a smart idea. That is putting too much on a raw rookie mentally.
This year should have been putting him in position to attack and not think. That is probably his strength at this point - so go blitz the QB, spy the mobile QB's since we have so much trouble w/ them, cover TE's. That is all I would've had him do to start off with. |
