The Eagles defense for the past few years has been good to very good against the pass and mediocre to very bad against the run.

Uh, are you sure you didn't reverse this?

yeah

this year, the Eagles' defense -

Passing - 9th in yards per attempt against, 3rd in sacks, 5th in quarterback rating against
Rushing - 27th in yards per carry against

last year

Passing - 11th in yards per attempt against, 17th in sacks, 18th in quarterback rating against
Rushing - 28th in yards per carry against

That doesn't make any sense at all when I remember Maxwell, Williams, et al being burned every single play and Cox just eating guys at the line

Pretty loving terrible, the run game is abysmal and the passing game is unreliable with Eli at the helm but also potent af with Eli at the helm

Again, coulda had Todd Gurley and made due with some other lovely 4th round LT that's the equivalent of new jersey's biggest turnstile

isn't Todd Gurley posting T-Rich numbers outside of one good month

I don't think anyone likes Eskin. I think some people love to hate Eskin.

Eskin was a local Steven A. Smith or Skip Bayless before anyone ever heard of those guys but who wasn't photogenic enough to go national, a pretty low bar for professional sports assholes.

(edit: yes I know SAS was a local guy before he went national)

Eskin wasn't a local Screamin A or Skip, he was one of the first professioanl sports rear end in a top hat. Him and Francesca and their stations really changed the landscape for sports talk

Eagles fans: Why is nobody talking about Timmy Jernigan? I don't understand why he's being ignored. Everyone is happy to talk about Long but one of the best run stopping DTs in the league we have for a one year rental should merit some consideration. Our line is gonna be good.

I routinely forget Eagles acquired Jernigan also. It was a real dead zone time for him

That was a season without a quarterback. Its hard to run against 8 in the box every down because brandon weeden isn't unleashing the dragon anytime soon.

By the stats post, Weed Man was probably the best QB that year :v:

The point I was trying to make however, is that as good as the Cowboys OL is, the RB"s need to have some talent at least

I agree with you two. Eagles optimism is for the offseason. The next 5 games should tell us a lot more: @Panthers, Redksins, 49ers, Broncos, @Cowboys.

Yeah, the 49ers are garbage, but the other 4 games are decent tests.

Redskins and half of the Broncos are also garbage

It's not like Eli makes an absurd salary. If a requisite for fixing a team's problems is not spending $25 -30 million at the QB position, then the team probably has more problems than can be fixed by not spending $25-30 million at the QB position. They need to rebuild.

I think people tend to actually undervalue top draft picks, maybe because they happen every year. But they don't happen very often to teams like the Giants. The Giant's last top 3 pick was #3 in 1984 (Carl Banks). Perhaps take this with a grain of salt because I am a 76ers fan, but the Giants need to tank the gently caress out of the rest of this season and grab a QB because chances like this don't come around very often.

They should probably take some OL first otherwise Flowes will get Darnold or whoever killed

They also had a rookie QB and first year coach, and were in the first year of dismantling Chip Kelly's wild ride. The expectations for last year got out of whack so quickly. It's not like they were a good team that fell apart, they just weren't that good.

The Eagles go 9-7 if Ryan Matthews holds onto the ball vs Deteoit and Pederson calls better plays on 4th down vs the Giants

They were an alright team last year

Anyone have a concise Zeke assault summary that led to his punishment? I know about exposing that gal during the st. patricks day parade, but I'm having an argument with my father who is trying to say that his accuser got into a fight with another woman in the parking lot to cause her injuries and has lied about everything.

Roj wanted to suspend the guy and Roj can do whatever he wants to do. Thanks NFLPA
