Monday Night Game Night Thread: Washington at Philly - Heinicke's Last Stand, Wentz if it Hurts

[Fred Jones]

I just want to know what idiot in the NFL scheduled this team on Monday night.  Going to be a long night.

The biggest indictment on Rivera is this o-line. He destroyed it.

I call it the NoLine

[ANONYMOUS SOURCE.]

Probably see Howell tonight, Taylor won’t survive the whole game staying in the pocket. 

[justice98]

A start like this against a team like this feels like a morale killer.

I interrupted a Law & Order marathon for this?

Scott Turner...pls do something.  Roll him out of the pocket run some screens.  Anything but having him sit back there.

Please no screens. How about a slant  Do we even have slants in the playbook?

[ultravin]

what the hell was McCain doing trying to follow Kelce on that run by Hurts? that guy needs to go!!!

Don’t care. At least I’m interested in seeing him play. Heinicke does nothing for me.

Not even his Moxie?

Not with our horrid line

There's a symmetry in how they match the horrid qb

The Eagles use Hurts mobility.   We treat TH like he's a statue.   

Heinicke isn’t that mobile (outside the pocket as a runner—his mobility has been very useful behind the LOS). It was a welcome change from pegleg Alex Smith back when Heinicke was playing with the desperation of someone who may never play again. Ever since he has hardly used it at all, and the coaches were annoyed about it last year. He doesn’t have much speed to turn the corner, probably runs a 4.7 now or something. His usability as a runner was always kind of a mirage.

This game was great for us until the flag on the kick return.

Keim is not normally this direct.  
 

He must be livid in the press box.

Heinicke though is showing a lot of moxie 

Dude..... he got murdered.  I get it... we don't have a QB on the roster.  Can we not start the night with a bash fest.

He took that hit like a champ.  
 

That really was more on the tackle than TH. He lost immediately.  I don’t think TH held the ball. 
 

Same thing happened to Wentz in the first game.  9 sacks I think.  We’re 4 plays in and they have 1 already.  

 

I might be too hard on him on that play, agree. I admit I am biased I’ve been expecting Heinicke to have a bad game tonight so I am looking for it

Heinicke is not that mobile and nowhere near as mobile as Hurts.

 

Y'all act like he's Lamar Jackson or something. He's maybe slightly above average at best.

 

He's not Lamar, but he's also not Wentz.

This game will be a different sort of heinous crime, so I can see the parallels. Like matching the right wine with the right foods. 

[Fred Jones]

I hate to say this, but this is the best team in the NFL at the moment.  No one in the NFC can beat them.  The good teams in the AFC have to many flaws.

[Tonysoprano1]

Can we please roll Taylor out of the pocket.

[Rex Tomb]

Can't wait for Philly to play against a real team... and no, Minnesota doesn't count. WE almost beat them.

My bad. I apologize to Taylor.

He forgot “near your own goal line”.

That's because he's not being compared to Prime RG3, he's being compared to early and immobile Kirk Cousins, statue Alex Smith, and Shadow-of-his-former-self Wentz. Compared to those 3 he's a world-class scrambler. Comparing him to real athletic QBs isn't something this fanbase is ready for yet.

[Yng Lady88]

with an injured o-line and back-up qb vs a dominant defense/d-line, let's see if Turner has Taylor looking like a sitting duck like he did with Wentz in the first matchup. no moving the pocket, nothing imaginative.

[BigDibbs31]

We are just going to run it the entire rest of the game

[Renegade7]

Finished giving youngest a bath thinking I could afford to miss a minute or two...takes less then 3 for Taylor to do exactly what I've been saying all week he could not do and expect to win this game no matter how well rest of our team does.

 

Early enough to make up for it.
