That's the goal. It's a lofty goal but I figure that's what they want. Jones stepping right in is probably impractical. I wouldn't mind Mills in the slot. He did have like 9 tackles yesterday.

One of Alshon's best traits is that he'll make a play for you. He doesn't necessarily need to be open. But in Carson's defense, Alshon was a diva this preseason and skipped practices so they didn't get much time to develop a chemistry. I think it'll get better. But Carson is clearly going on what he's comfortable with. I thought doug kept him out of practice on purpose because he was super paranoid about injuries? Yeah, Alshon had no part in that decision. Not sure what Jroc is talking about. Jeffery is no diva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible I suppose. But I think if Alshon had any type of fortitude to practice, Doug would have given the ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly remember the Bradley Fletcher days of 8 catches 2 tackles and 2 TDs. And besides, you don't blame the peg that won't fit the hole, you blame the person trying to hammer it in. Mills is an ok CB. Probably subpar. But he's adequate for now. And I think is more suited for a nickel role. And think would excel at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's not surprising in the least that Ertz was /is Wentz's go to safety valve. That use to be JM. It's a lot easier to use the middle of the field with a TE mismatched on a LB/CB then trying to force feed a WR playing against one of the better CB in the league. Expect the same come Sunday and not think twice about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAC is great, I get it. But moving the chains is moving the chains. Ertz is a 1st down machine, extending drives ,leading to points. He catches everything!!! TE version of Avant!! ? I'm not saying ignore AJ but this idea when he's matchup vs a tough CB force feed him anyways, I'll never agree with. Funny part is AJ was two phenomenal deep catches away from having 100+ and a TD.

Well he probably has both those catches if Carson could throw a deep ball to save his life. Kid is awful at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other I vaguely remember other then it being a scrambling 3rd down punt/pass type throw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alshon had to knock the ball out of the corners hand on a deep ball. Only one he hit was when nelson had to stand still when no one was around him. Carson is a terrible deep ball thrower and thats just the truth right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So you're actually surprised Wentz hasn't connected with virtually a entirely New WR corps? I'm not!!! Only WR he had any familiarity with is Agholor hands if stone? Give it time for Christ sake. Jesus. If it doesn't change Throughout this Season (Actual Games Played Together) , then yes you might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean maybe it;s more likely he sucks at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
