Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

I don't think you'll find anyone in here that doesn't think Jalen needs to be a lot better.

Bizarre. Can only assume it's attitude related.

Never really got close to taking the field. Incredible downward spiral.

 

[rumply]

Not a Fangio fan I am guessing

 

[Jatz]

It's not just us though. Didn't seem like there were a whole lot of teams lining up for him in the off season. Doubt this helps.

What a moronic tweet that shows absolutely zero understanding of modern professional sport or sports science.

It's almost like you can't be tackling, or be tackled by, 250-300 pound guys dozens of times every day.

I hope you posted this as rage bait - it worked. This moron knows better.

A three time pro bowl linebacker is probably entitled to have an opinion about whether low intensity training, which it is generally understood we engage in, impacts fundamentals when contact is applied.

So, really have no desire to watch this team again until the head coach changes. A second season of watching one of the most talented teams in football play self defeating football has been enough.

Thankfully, Washington look like they're going to have a good season and so we might be eliminated earlier this year.

Dude is 60 years old and fast reaching "old man yells at cloud" territory.

His views on modern day training methods have about as much value as yours or mine.

Has a missed tackle stopped being a missed tackle in those years?

Did CTE stop being CTE?

Not using the donuts causes CTE. Good argument.

You understand the NFL's rules around contact training sessions don't differentiate?

In any case, a tackle only has to be mistimed to cause a headknock, of course it's a risk, you're being obtuse.

 

[rumply]

The boy can tackle.

Show me rule non-training camp rule please.

Players could hit their head on the donuts. They should stand still at training.

Is it though? He'd just watched what we had which was one of the most abysmal tackling performances of any Eagles team I can recall. Whatever they have been teaching them ain't working would be the main point he was trying to get across I would say.

Bet on the Browns then

 

[rumply]

 

[Southerntakeover]

Yeah, I just don't think they're capable of it.

I actually hate watching this team. It just ruins your day.

That sequence where we should have been able to go up 14, but instead Saquon failed to run past the sticks for no good reason on 2nd and 1, then we threw for no good reason and took a massive sack, then we had a field goal blocked for a touchdown was this team over the last two years in a nutshell.

Must go 3-0 over next 3 weeks or it's season over

Would take a split of 1-1 with the Dallas and Washington games in about a month

 

[Southerntakeover]

We're not going 3-0. We barely beat the Browns with all their injuries.
