Week 11 - Frigid

[Diomedes]

I want more running generally, regardless of opponent.  The run/pass ratio has wandered into Andy Reid territory of late and I hate it.

I think that has more to do with game flow and teams loading the box.  When the Eagles are running effectively, Chip keeps feeding the backs. When they avg 2 ypc he goes to the air more. Can't say I blame him either.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, I get that but I think he could be more stubborn about establishing the run.  He's got the talent and the whole system is predicated on the run, AMIRITE?  I'd much rather see three and out runs in Q1 than three and out passes.  We're getting too much of the latter.

[General_Failure]

The run game isn't going to improve when teams aren't worrying about the passing game beating them deep. Sanchez needs to throw a little better, receivers can't let the ball bounce off their hands, and Cooper needs to have a career ending knee injury.

[Diomedes]

Whatever.  Especially now that Sanchez presents at least the possibility of gaining 4 yards on a keeper, I demand more running, dammit!

[ice grillin you]

Yeah, GB can be had in the run game but I'd actually like to see a little more of Sproles and Polk running, especially later in the game.

sprolk has been in the game 40% of the time the last two weeks....not sure they need to go higher than that....even with his drop off shady is still easily the best back on the team

[Eagles_Legendz]

I think Sproles needs a few more touches on O.  It's fine if that's in the passing game but his workload has been down quite a bit since coming back.  I'm not asking for him to be the feature back but think he should get 5 more touches or so.

[Diomedes]

And take those 5 touches from whom?

Any pass to josh huff or riley Cooper is fine with me.

[shorebird]

At the beginning of the season I thought the offensive line was to blame for Shady's low numbers, but now as the line gets healthy, he just doesn't look like he did last year, he's not cutting quick like he did to and he doesn't explode through the holes like he did before. He looked like he might be getting something back a couple weeks ago but last week just looked slow to me. I'm starting to think igor was right.

Well, I can't argue there.  I support your plan, sir.

he had too many touches last year....even the eagles knew this.....thats part of the reason they got sproles...but to legendz point I am surprised they havent given sproles more touches this year

[shorebird]

Well they're passing more and you really can't argue that it hasn't been working. Still, I'm wondering if they have the qb that Chip really wants or needs. Could you imagine a guy like Rodgers running this offense??

[ice grillin you]

strong wind today does not bode well for the eagles....definitely favors the strong armed cat

[Diomedes]

I suppose it's possible that Chip is saving Shady in the early season games, so his best player isn't tore up in the second half and playoffs?
