Jerry Jones (allegedly) being racist… https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jim-trotter-lawsuits-attributes-alleged-racist-remark-to-jerry-jones quote:Beginning at paragraph 110 of the civil complaint, Trotter explains that, in the aftermath of Jon Gruden’s departure from the Raiders in October 2021 after the release of various inappropriate emails, Trotter planned to share on NFL NOW a racist statement that allegedly had been made by Jones to Trotter at the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game between the Steelers and the Cowboys. (The complaint inadvertently uses the year 2020; the HOF game was postponed in 2020 due to COVID.) Cartoon Man fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Sep 13, 2023 |

Eagles will probably be fine but when you get 4 turnovers and the other team is still in the game... woof. At least the cowboys had the decency to blow the giants out of the water when they got 3

yeah, nothing has really inspired confidence. they look pretty rough. thankfully with a roster that stacked, "pretty rough" can still get you to the playoffs in the NFC, but it really does feel like they've taken a significant step back. i'm curious how much — if any — of it is down to the coordinators finding their sea legs.

Hurts needs to feel comfortable in the pocket and stop bailing out when his first read is covered. Also recognize a 3-man rush and how to attack it. Both correctable problems, and at least they have 11 days now to do it. The secondary looked bad but they were also missing 3/5 starters. That’ll devastate most teams.

Vengarr posted:Hurts needs to feel comfortable in the pocket and stop bailing out when his first read is covered. Also recognize a 3-man rush and how to attack it. I think we're seeing in these first two games what I predicted when I said the Eagles might "regress" and that teams were going to start scheming poo poo up to take away the things Hurts likes to do. I'm not a genius by any measure or tooting my own horn after just two games but that's just how the league works. What Minnesota was clearly doing last night was rushing 3, taking away the deep ball (or attempting to), and then using two or sometimes three LB's/safeties in the short middle of the field specifically to focus on Jalen Hurts. We saw it several times when Jalen tried to run; especially on designed runs. Minnesota was all over that poo poo. And it wasn't until midway through the 2nd quarter that the Birds adjusted their playcalling and just started feeding Swift the ball. Kudos for them for staying with it until the Vikings proved they could stop it, which they never really did. I have to think that a lot of Swift's success, as well as he ran and the holes the line opened up, was due Minnesota's complete dedication to stopping Hurts' on designed runs. Seemed like they had TWO spies on him at all times and rarely blitzed. Agree that Jalen is struggling to find his reads but I don't think he "bailed early" too much. I couldn't see the receivers downfield but he seemed to be locking on a lot and not really going through his progressions UNTIL he bailed. Seemed to be a distinct lack of check down receivers running routes as well and that, on a lot of plays, he didn't have an outlet receiver. Also agree that from what I saw it's, indeed, all fixable stuff and also it's always a plus when you can fail to play your best and still win games like this but we had (4x) fumble luck last night and that won't last. I think Philly is becoming too predictable and needs to get a little more creative.

gently caress. If it's the play I'm thinking of, Maddox looked like he got hit by his own teammate. Also, I like the Jets to at least cover this week.

That's not regressing that's literally how Hurts and the Eagles offense is set up. They ran the ball 80 more times than passing it last year and Hurts was 16th in passing attempts. When he did pass it was often first read not because he's some dummy but because the Eagles offense features extremely quick receiver talent. Their average depth of target was around 10 yards (AJ Brown had 12!!) which meant Hurts just had to look up and deliver a ball to get a first down. Being able to punish loaded boxes with a giant oline and decent RBs makes it so Hurts' actual first read is done presnap against coverage shells, which he's very good at. It's why they only run a quarter of his snaps as RPO since he doesn't really have to hide it. I believe his big problem this last game was that he was tipping his keeps. If he was doing a keep he would keep his body open to the strong side and if he was doing a presnap adjustment to a handoff he'd squat too low. Other than that the high percentage first read throws seemed to work just fine. His one INT came from a stare down when he had time in the pocket too. Also I'm going to keep track of every single one of his bullshit TD vultures that didn't need him doing a QB sneak so no one can ever use that as an example of him being a good runner, which he isn't.

On the other hand, Philly looked unstoppable on the ground, and hung 35 on a team that's considered to be one of premier contenders in the NFC Naturally they didn't look as good as Dak Prescott, who is a top five quarterback, and Dallas, That is to be expected as they are the inferior football team

in my mind the mission is for jalen to become a good enough passer — meaning he advances to the point where he no longer needs the threat of the run to make passing easier — before his running style catches up with him and he takes a debilitating injury.

He's a great passer already. He just isn't a threat to pass first, which is fine. I'd take someone who is a threat to get a first down every time they throw the ball over a big armed pocket passer in today's NFL.

I guess my thing is just that I can't see how his style of running is sustainable at his position. Maybe it's stupid to worry about, but I dunno, I cringe every single time he slams himself into a defender.

I don't think he's a particularly great runner, but he's quite good, and I don't agree with the notion that the rugby-style TDs he tends to get automatically should be written off. When the Eagles have tried that with a backup instead of Jalen, it just doesn't work. It's a skill set he has, whether or not that skill may amount to "be very very strong."
