Samuel looked great. He'll be fine this year.

Total joke. People see whatever they imagine. They'll be 0-4 with an occasional highlight

Terrible same ****. This is what a poorly coached team looks like. Same garbage, different date.

3rd down conversion....lmao

JAX, DET, & PHI all with good offense in their opening acts. All looked impressive. WSH better get their **** together or it's going to be ugly, again.

What?! Not sure what game you were watching but both DET and JAX offenses came out smokin' hot with scoring drives. Goff was perfect, with only incompletion was a penalty. Lawrence threw a bullseye 35 yards on the first play and put up an impressive 11 play opening drive. WSH has their hands full to start the season. They'll be lucky to be above .500

With 3 winning seasons out of 11, he's a 5 for sure. Ranked #20 out of 32 teams, so top 5?! Not even close.

The amount of capital used to acquire a player shouldn't affect the players grade on the depth chart, but it does. Completely undisciplined idea as two wrongs don't make a right. Dyami Brown was just another bad draft pick in a two year bucket of bad drafts.

That's an NFL QB/WR coaching point for a drop back. Last time I heard it was from Cris Collinsworth talking about running routes and the coach would blow the whistle at 2.5 sec because pass protection breaks down after that. Sometimes when an OL is dominating pass pro they breakout the timer and go into it. The point is the timing is setup. Turner has to get Wentz on a roll, so whatever he does best, do it. Move the chains and take your shots!

If it's noticeable, then it makes sense with other info. There's a reason for deficiencies and when he has good pass pro he's better for sure, so I'll buy that. He's really deadly off script (good Wentz bad Wentz). The bad-deadly like scrambling inside your 10 is poor situational football. Good-deadly happens too. He's so big he can see the entire field from a top down perspective vs blank spots where shorter QBs miss a guy falling into coverage. Arm strength is good so he can hit any part of the field from anywhere. Ideally he needs +2.5 sec protection and he's good. Shorter than 2.5 sec and that's where the problems start. Turner can help him by scheming hot reads to his best receivers when he smells a blitz. Been best on quick (hot) routes. In Indy Wentz would audible to his favorite play and it wasn't received well. Like audible out of a run to a TE route and the OL and Coach weren't happy. When he'd do that the OL wouldn't protect him. Turner needs to manage Wentz as much as Wentz needs to do what he does best within the scheme. Must all come together as a single unit.

Too many instances of media manipulation now. From billionaire media teams, gaslighting national outlets, to trending vlog/blog channels. Doesn't take too much effort to sniff out the BS, but you do have to try and people are lazy towards leisure activities. Too easy to paint the picture that suits your agenda when you have unlimited resources.

Exactly my sentiment. RR is slow to make changes in obvious deficiencies. He clings too much on past relationships to a detriment. Too decisive at some things and too indecisive on others. Get to a solution faster! C'mon Man!

Turner must put Carson into the best situation for what he does best. I'd say that letting him be him within the scheme will pay out. Let's do what Engineers do when finding answers and go to the end and work back (August 11, 2016): Carson Wentz: Strengths and weaknesses through the first two weeks of training camp. (8.11.2016) https://www.phillyvoice.com/carson-wentz-strengths-and-weaknesses-through-first-two-weeks-training-camp/ Strengths Strengths • Size: At 6'5, 237, Wentz is the biggest of the Eagles' quarterbacks, and has prototypical size for the position in the NFL. • Arm Strength: Again, of the Eagles' quarterbacks, there's little question that Wentz has the strongest arm of the group. He delivers deep passes with ease and can put the ball on a line on intermediate throws. • Athleticism: There is a wide gap between Wentz and the other Eagles' quarterbacks here. Wentz is a threat to run. He can escape the pocket and hurt you with his legs. While you won't see him barrel over defensive backs in a training camp setting since hitting the quarterback is off limits, that's a part of his game as well. • Aggressiveness: By far, Wentz has taken more shots down the field than either Bradford or Daniel. Taking risks isn't necessarily a strength unless you're actually producing big plays, and in fact can be a negative if those risks are producing turnovers. However, I'm of the belief that the quarterback has to be able to make difficult throws down the field to be successful in this league, so for now, we'll chalk up Wentz's willingness to let it rip as a strength. • Making throws while climbing the pocket: When he senses the outside pass rush closing in, Wentz does a great job climbing the pocket while maintaining his vision. Typically, when quarterbacks are forced to quickly move up in the pocket, their vision will narrow to the middle of the field, making them less likely to make throws to the sideline. Wentz, however, still uses the entire field when he steps up in the pocket. He can contort his body on the run and throw sideline to sideline. That puts the defense in a difficult spot. They'll have to respect his running ability while still covering the entire field. • Improvisation: I've been impressed by Wentz's ability to make something out of nothing. For example, there have been a few occasions in which he's fielded a shotgun snap off the ground, popped up, and quickly delivered a completed a pass, when other quarterbacks might have been content to just jump on the ball or try to get outside the tackle box and throw it away. • Throwing on the run: This is where Wentz has made some "wow" plays during camp, and I believe it's because he's stopped thinking momentarily and is just playing on instinct. Wentz can throw with velocity while going to his right or left. He's not always pinpoint accurate while on the run (as most quarterbacks aren't), but there's big play potential here. Weaknesses • Consistent accuracy: Wentz has often been inaccurate during training camp. When he is off, he is most commonly overthrowing his receivers, missing them high. Doug Pederson attributed that to mechanics, timing, and not yet completely seeing what he's supposed to be seeing. In other words, when Wentz has a more solid grasp of where his receivers will be and what opposing defenses are trying to do to him, the thinking is that Wentz will settle in and become more accurate like he mostly was at North Dakota State. But for now, improvement in this area is clearly needed. • The wobble: Wentz's passes have often wobbled. They still get there, but the wobble makes them more difficult to catch. When the weather becomes harsher, wobbly footballs are more prone to dying in the wind. Again, this is not something Wentz did much in college. Pederson attributed it to Wentz not yet being fully being up to speed mentally and believes the wobble will wane. • Locking in: There have been times when Wentz will zero in on a receiver, allowing the defense to anticipate where he's going with the football.

Mills was probably feeling disrespected with Sapp and Kerrigan getting attention for doing his job and there was a confrontation somewhere. This is the type of firing that happens after a blowout.

Team should take Wentz out and loosen him up. Team Building Wentz can take Command

Hamstring injuries are adding up with several players dealing with this training camp menace. Healing time is minimum 2 weeks (10 days to be exact) for the most superficial tear. Even slightly more than superficial adds a week or more. Grade 2 hammy is 6-8 weeks. That's the kind of tear when you see bruising (blood) at the affected site. With a month left until the games count, all the current hamstring guys can be ready.

I saw him working out and read about his rehab. He's had no setbacks and is squatting heavy weight since June. He's not wearing a brace or sleeve which points towards a focus on strengthening. He's a freak athlete. I've trained some freaks and would never believe what I saw them do. If I had to guess, I'd say he starts on the PUP and plays week 5 or 6 at the latest. There's a athletic freak asterisk that could have him come off the PUP and start practicing and be inactive for the first couple of games but I think they'll hold him back.

Not really. Since everyone who was hurt last year is still hurt, plus plenty more, you're still hoping to get healthy. Team has major injury issues from last year that are unresolved. Fact is they don't have a LT yet for their new QB. They don't have the starting C. The replacement for the All-Pro has a split down the middle of his quad. Lose 1 of your 3 mediocre at best LB'ers and then what? They're facing drastically improved pass rushes Weeks 1 and 2. Then division rivals Weeks 3 and 4. They have the WORST bye week 14. In Weeks 10, 13, 16 and 18, Washington's opponent will have a three-day rest/prep advantage because they'll be in the Thursday night tilt for the previous set of games while RR's side will have suited up on the ensuing Sunday. Not reaching 8 wins is the Under. Line at 7.5 is correct. That's fair. He could get on a roll and gain some confidence. Winning the opener is huge.

Since this is a QB thread, I'd say the odds makers are being conservative and there's more momentum on the Over due to Wentz creating a wider variation in the upside. The O/U line is likely meant to entice fans into over optimistic opinions before any games are played. Additionally there's a false perception of an easy schedule with WSH playing multiple short week games vs teams with long weeks. There's a good chance another RR slow start is incoming with starters all over the roster injured, a new QB, and failure to address 3rd down defense. Looks like a correct betting line.

OL use the shoulder pads to hold on at the center and gain leverage. Pads even things out for DL vs OL. Edge/Speed rushers don't have the same issues.

I want a forfeit. It's dumb to play guys you can't afford to loose after a couple of days in pads.

RR walks into the trainers office and asks Al how everything is going... Trainer says well, we're out of TE's, you shipped out an All-Pro RG for a guy with 1-leg, and now you want everyone to go 100% hot in a game after 2 weeks of drills. I'm going to need more duct tape!

Since April 1, 2022 when the Commanders drafted Jahan Dotson.
