Im worried about Mathews as much as I am Murray. If he is healthy Mathews is as capable as anything Murray is, maybe more. Murray is one of the better of not best grinders in the game. I dont know if there is a back in the NFL right now outside of maybe Lynch that is as good at killing a team 3 to 7 yards at a time as Murray. However I think Mathews is more of a threat to take it to the house then Murray
yep, on paper the potential is there for the eagles. guys with injury histories have to stay healthy for that to happen though. the biggest difference to me will be on defense. if the secondary gets its s**t together with that front 7 ? lookout.
You guys have alot of depth on the edge, and with a guy like Cox on the line you dont need to blitz to get pressure. Something that killed us when we ran a 3-4. If Dallas's front 4 lives up to expectations, its going to be very hard for NY and Washington to make any noise this year playing Philadelphia and Dallas. Williams is an All Pro, but the rest of the Skins line is a shanty. And NY's best lineman isna rookie thay got sodimized in college by our second round pick. If Jenkins can have the same type of year he did last year he will take a lot of pressure off the CB's. If teams are afraid to test him this year, that will really shorten the field
so, the eagles look pretty damn good but, it's pre-season and I'm not going to get carried away. one thing, if Bradford stays healthy he is going to be one of the top five qb's in the league.
I'm trying not to get carried away, but it's tough. That TD pass to Sproles completely sold me on Bradford.
I was a foles guy, not over the top but I thought he could play in this offense, plus Bradford's injury history made me a bit hesitant on the trade but yeah, that pass was sweet. no way foles makes that pass, hell mcnabb probably misses it too.
So, Eagles fans. What do you think of the trade of WR Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles? I think the Eagles made a mistake. He has a LOT of baggage.
Chip did screw over the team with his awful GM decisions, but the Schwartz defense should be good enough to get them to at least 6 wins. Many past Eagles teams have been worse than this.
wait, chip Kelly screwed the eagles up personnel wise ? not enough to wear bags over our heads though, that's saved for the all-time sucking teams.
That's quite the offensive juggernaut you have in Philly, smeags. A grand total of 45 yards in their first 3 possessions against PITT.
