Nabbs4u Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 When you learn from an idiot, you're bound to become an idiot. Difference being Andy is finally learning after 20 yrs. Pederson is just getting started!! Inexcusable to be in a close game for 3 QT and continue to pass while the OL can't block anyone. Luckily for us Wentz survived.

Phire Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Step 1: abandon the run for no reason. Step 2: tell the opposing defense you won't run the ball. Step 3: have your offense try to pass the ball on a defense that is only expecting the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisEagles Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I see people blaming the oline for some of our struggles, but it has to be hard when the defense knows it can just pin its ears back and rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoning the run unravels the entire offense. The defense isn't supposed to know what the offense is doing. That's the advantage every offense is supposed to have. There were times Seumalo got beat 1 on 1 though, abandoning the run didn't help but he was also just getting outclassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phire Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Quote "In order to win games in this league you have to be able to run the ball unless you've got Tom Brady, guys like that," said right tackle Lane Johnson. "We have to run the ball. We have to take the pressure off of Carson, we've got to protect Carson better. We didn't do a good job today." Quote "You can't be throwing the ball 40 times in a game," said tight end Zach Ertz. "That's not ideal. Low 30s is probably where you want him at. Thirty runs, 30 passes if you're getting 60 plays. We want to be a balanced offense." Quote Pederson said Hunt was “definitely someone that we had our eye on." The same could be said for Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook, among others. But they came out of the draft with fourth-round pick Donnel Pumphrey. He was firmly on the roster bubble at cut-down time and was inactive for the opener, and is now on injured reserve with a torn hamstring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponX Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Interesting that players are coming out and saying it. And honestly, they should. 13 to 56 is a stupid run pass ratio. Everyone knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLick12 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I don't know why you need a feature back if sproles is averaging 5 ypc. Just give him the damn ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I didn't realize it was supposed to be a surprise that the Eagles run game blows... For long term, I'd still rather have Barnett and Sidney Jones than Cooks or Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe a little surprised we didn't give more carries to a guy averaging nearly 5 yards a carry and otherwise looked decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLick12 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yea people are acting like we aren't running because we don't have the back needed. Sproles was averaging 5 per carry, and Smallwood was running hard as well, both of them needed far more carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
