Ha, maybe accidentally drop the ball if you catch a screen 5 yards behind the line falling on your rear end.

Jalen Hurts: the most electrifying handoff for a run up the middle in the entire league.

I'm so pissed they're just trying to make him a shittier Taysom Hill.

I don't really think he'd work as a conventional quarterback, but poo poo, give him some sort of chance.

If we're being brutally honest the potential for him to be a Taysom Hill is why he was drafted in the second. As a purely conventional quarterback...he'd be a 5-7 rounder.

No I agree, but like, let him try some RPOs or something. Everything seems designed as a run only from when I've been subjected to Eagles football this year.

Carolina strikes me as well coached from last week and a quarter into this week. I mean they've got significant talent disadvantages in a lot of places but they show up to compete?

While I can get Evans complaining for the DPI, he stopped running too.

I mean, I get the defender demonstrating the pushoff there too because he did his damndest before their arms got tangled.

Seems like a fine no call.

What is the giants defensive ranking ?

13th in points against which is stunningly high based on what I would have thought. But I guess you don't need all that many points to beat the Giants. 22 by DVOA if you like the fancy stuff.

Antonio Brown's return is very meh so far.

That was a perfect opportunity to just catch Evans and carry him out of bounds, I'd be looking for those all the time if I were a DB.

(if I were a DB I would have to because I'd be beaten like a drum like that guy was)

Did...well I guess we'll never know unless they review it since they cut the replay short.

I thought 45 might have hosed up that awesome job keeping the punt out of the end zone by turning around and diving on it with a foot on the goal line?

It's gotta be a lonely feeling to not have an open receiver on a fake punt and deciding to take off running if you're a punter.

e: feel like you might as well chuck it up anyway? Worst thing that can happen is the ball gets caught by the defense farther down the field.
