Maine-iac

Tons of short passes and running then you strike deep.

Josh holds on the ball way to long sometimes and we refuse to hand the ball enough to cool off the other teams pass rush.

As many Lemmings jumping off cliffs now a days I hate to tell you this but a healthy Bill's team could compete with either of these clubs. You need your stars to be healthy and a few things to go your way. Hurts has played great but one fumble makes a huge difference.

Eagles scored 27 so far ........... think Chiefs fans are trying to fire Spagnola?

Can't be productive if you don't get the carries. We don't run the ball. Not even that we can't .......... we just don't.

Yes but we don't do them any favors. Eagles run the ball and Hurts takes the short pass 75 percent of the time and mixes it in deep. We throw the ball 90 percent of the time and hold the ball and throw deep every other play. Teams aren't even worried about the run. They just rush the QB.

Still averaging under 4 per carry. Still running the ball.

Eagles averaging under 4 a carry ............. still running the ball.

Eagles short passing game is on point. Deep passing they've hit one maybe two. That is why teams were daring us to throw deep all the time. Even you get one on ones and the guy has a chance it's just harder to complete when you are throwing it 20 yards down the field every play.

I like Cook but realistically we only hand the ball off 10 times a game = not a chance.

We would have thrown the last two into the end zone for incompletions.

Great receivers and great throws and they hit on what one of them? The running game and the short passing game is why the Eagles are where they are.

Throw it short to throw it long. Run the ball to throw it. You can't just drop back 50 times a game and do the same thing expecting to not have them all over your QB.

wow ............ what a screen game looks like.

If we are playing swap meet give me Reddick, Cox, a healthy safety, and an OC who calls running plays.

Hurts has taken the short throw all night and made a couple deep throws count. He isn't holding it all day and throwing 15 yards down field every play.

and when Hurts uses play action he has all day to throw.

No doubt Brown is good. I'd like to think Hyde or Poyer would have been all over that but Hopkins tells me not always.

20 carries in the first half ..................we rarely have 20 carries in a whole game.

4 targets 2 catches ........... same average roughly as Davis. Live by the deep ball and die by it. Both of those throws should have been picked.

Eagles line are monsters.

Take the short throws and sometimes good things happen.

Crazy ............ teams actually running the ball.

Same height as Shakir but 15 pounds lighter. Had one good year. When he runs at the combine it will probably make or break him. Not sure I'd put a guy considerable smaller than Shakir on the outside. Is anyone other than Hill and Waddle playing outside at 180 pounds.

Even as I say this I will explain I do think he had some issues with not making some catches I would have liked to seen him make. That said the guys average depth of target was around 6 yards deeper than other #2 receivers. It doesn't excuse everything but it certainly does explain both how his production can be somewhat manic and also why he has more TD's than most #2 receivers you'll see.
