Problem is that if we get a top 5 pick you know who's going to pick the QB !, in this particular case scenario we're hopeless.

I don't recall discussion of Cousins being officially silenced while he was on the team. Cousins himself wasn't a topic that was cracked down on while he was here, but continually hammering at the QB controversy between him and RG3 was. Even then, that was about a rookie of the year losing his job to a 4th round pick who had been up and down when the final benching happened. Heinicke is the QB that nobody on the team has ever suggested was in the running for the starter job after the preseason ended last year. It's never been a controversy for the team, which makes it all the more frustrating to see fans try to push it.

As other players are un-personed as well, will you be providing a pinned "players you can post about" list? I'm not him ("Thank the effing lord" - Jumbo) but keep in mind he's "not just a mod; he's also a member." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMacAttack Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Really need to see something from Wentz this week. After being sacked 9 times vs the Eagles he will be seeing pressure from Dallas. If we lose this week it's gonna be very ugly for the remainder of the season. Turner needs to figure out how to help Wentz with this issue fast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 99 issues on this roster, but Carson Wentz is not one of them. Now the eagles game exposed what happens if you dont have the RB's running to the flats to counter the blitz. But that is poor game adjustments/planning. This wins the post of the week for me. No in game adjustments to help Wentz and the offense out. Our issues, up to this game, was/is/still our secondary. But it absolutely pissed me off that Turner made zero adjustments to the relentless blitizing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Iggy, i'm not seriously considering it. 58 minutes ago, Kelvin Bryant said: I feel much the same way. There is the possibility your topics and mine might not completely overlap, however. I remember efforts to end the RG3/Cousins debates after Cousins left. I don't recall discussion of Cousins being officially silenced while he was on the team. You're violating a rule by discussing off topic board management matters, whether actual or imagined, in a thread. Read the rules about where to make such comments . Also, your "itchy ban finger" comment def qualifies you for a ban now, yet you're not getting one. Iggy . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it was pointed out to me by @BatteredFanSyndrome - I guess you pay better attention then I do. Clearly, looked to me that they were bringing up an extra man on a number of those. But I will tell you one thing I am not wrong about. Our O line could not handle the pass rush and it certainly is not 100% on Wentz. You see it with every QB in this league when they do not have time. I have no problems with Wentz. I think it is up to Scott Turner to come up with a plan that can help out with the deficiencies we have on the O line right now due to injury.

Warhead36 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I thought for sure the Eagles were mostly only rushing four. Maybe they brought like one extra. They also run a 5 man front on obvious passing downs I believe so that wouldn't really be a blitz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 How did the Eagles 1st round pick, the 400 pound rookie DT that runs a 4.4, do in the game? Can't recall his name but he was someone that intrigued me in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a strong arm is worse than useless when he's zinging short 7-yard swing passes 85 MPH and making the receivers jump or reach for them, which I saw over and over yesterday. He's shown little touch on "conservative" passes. I know I didn’t imagine that… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If wentz is bad next week - he needs to sit - TH or Howell need to start the following week. I dont care which one. I just dont want bad wentz playing and losing a higher pick next year for us. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 He’s not anywhere near the percentage of snaps he’d need over a full season to escalate the draft pick. You don’t bench the guy you traded for in the first month of the season, my god. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) I was listening to the Finlay/BMitch replay last night, they had Mitch Tischler on who said word was Schweitzer at center was a complete failure. Not just getting bulldozed, but his snaps screwed the timing of everything, they were low, etc. Wentz had to resort to tapping him or something that keyed the Eagles to when the ball was being snapped. They brought up a very valid point, as in why in the hell did we have nobody ready to go that can actually play backup center?

They brought up a very valid point, as in why in the hell did we have nobody ready to go that can actually play backup center? Schweiter supposedly looked good in spot duty last season at center. But I've heard he majors in run blocking not pass blocking. I think they need to start Martin. I am good with moving Cosmi to guard and Lucas at RT. Masko in the past was considered a guru. He needs to figure things out fast. One scout once said you can survive team weaknesses with the exception of QB and O line -- he said teams with bad O lines are rarely good. It's an obvious point but we are living through that now. Edited September 28, 2022 by Skinsinparadise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) On another note, I liked Justin Fields. I didn't want to trade the moon for him but if they could have gotten him for a reasonable price I'd be on board. We might have dodged a bullet on that one. Granted though the season is early. I might have been right about Trubisky though. Wasn't hard IMO to isolate that Trubisky wasn't good irrespective of Nagy. And maybe even the mighty Steelers brand can't overcome Trubisky. Ryan off to a slow start but was clutch last week. I did want Wilson who is off to a meh start. But again season is young, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Skinsinparadise Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I agree with the point below. I am far from all in on Wentz. I don't think he's a top 10 QB. He's probably in the 15-20 range. But part of that narrative is he will have his share of stinker games. 2 good games IMO, one bad one. I'd let the script play out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
