I consider Riggins more of a power RB and Portis more of a speedster who could break into space. Physically BR closer to Riggo.

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
I go way back and remember Riggins on the Jets. Believe it or not, John Riggins was Kansas state high school champion in the 100 yard dash. Twice! He obviously had size and speed, a great combination. He was a GREAT pickup for the Redskins.

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
Yes. Nice seeing Tuesday headlines about on field product and not off field BS for a change

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
We havent had a running back avg more than 3.4 yards a carry in a while.
Monday B Rob had 26 carries for 86 yds, 3.3 avg w his long run of 11 yds. Gibson was 14/44/3.1/7 Not sure running it 45 times at a 3.3 clip is sustainable for winning.

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
If you're converting 3rd and manageables at a good clip and playing good D it can get the job done

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
In the 3 prior games (this year) Heineke played, the only offensive penalty they had was a delay of game penalty when they were running out the clock and were going to punt in the first game he played. I've seen him move players around which avoided penalties (like a wide receiver covering the end of the line), and he waited to spike the ball until everybody was set for a complete second. In addition, in the delay of game penalty this game, you can see him frantically clapping his hands, but our ?-string center doesn't snap the ball.
We've spent how much money for Alex Smith (worth it), who was killed by the line, Fitzpatrick for one quarter of work, and Wentz, and yet Heineke is the one who has had to take almost all the snaps. Maybe save the $20M+ and put it towards positions where we need it, like the line. Heineke seems to be the only QB who can survive back there. (Kirk is such a good QB, but with how much he costs, how much has Minny won with him there.) It's funny, because 2 years ago the story was that Heiny :-) wasn't durable... |

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
I agree. We haven't been able to break any long runs either. For one week it worked but it's not sustainable long term.

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
Iggles are a pretty stout defense, and even so we were successful running the ball. I also think that for less stout defenses, and as he improves his game, B. Rob is due for some long running plays.

Re: Eagles Postgame DUB!!!
Well they've won 4 out of 5 with the current approach, I know what also isn't sustainable, trying to open up the offense and have TH throw it 30+ times. Pounding the rock is our best hope.
