Nine Rushes

And I'm not 100% sure that LJ even has two brain cells.

[ice grillin you]

mcnabb sucks this year because his stomach wall has a hole that you can fit a softball thru...why does this not get mentioned more...yeah you hear about it...but you hear more that hes struggling...hes in a slump...hes got a bruised rib...his chest is banged up

the guy cant run and cant throw the ball more than 12 yards becuase hes all herniated up...period

yeah the running game would help and they absolutely should do it more but even if they run and it opens up play action or some other patterns they arent getting now mcnabb still has to make the throw and i dont think he can do it on a consistent basis

hes got a hernia and thats why the team is not going anywhere this year...i cant wait if they lose tonight or next week to hear how its all cause they suspended TO...when in reality that will be just another in the long line of reasons why mcnabb is off...when really there is only one

Nine rushes, dude. Nine.

Nine rushes, dude. Nine.

Without TO, undoubtedly the Eagles will run the ball more often.

We're aiming for 11!

And I'm not 100% sure that LJ even has two brain cells.

He fumbled one of them. Only one left.

[PhillyGirl]

Dude, seriously, you're obsessed with the fumble thing. You make him sound worse than Tiki Barber used to be. He's not. He's not even close.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm obsessed with it because it is a problem. Obviously it isn't in the Tiki/Jamal Lewis category because a TE doesn't have the amount of touches a RB does. But the dude needs to learn how to carry the ball.

LJ loves to catch the ball, sling it way away from his body and leave the point open to a defenders helmet to knock it out of there.

It is a problem he needs to fix before it costs them a game. It almost cost them the OAK game.

I'll put this in here since the other thread caught the master lock...

Lightbulb head said that the deal with Westbrook could be done by tonight.

Average of $5M per season

No info on SB money...

And the Eagles have $9.6M in cap space.

So, all it took to get Reid to truly balance out the offense was the Eagles losing their starting QB, starting WR's, and 3/5 OL.  More than 50% of the plays yesterday were runs.  Amazing what this Westbrook kid can do with it when they actually get him the damn ball.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The OL was moving guys out yesterday too. The TD run by Westbrook was a thing of beauty. Andrews getting to the second level and sealing off the backside pursuit was sweet.

Todd Herremans and Adrien Clarke were also blowing guys off the ball.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Todd "wost manneans" had an all-around solid game.  KGB was a factor in maybe 1 or 2 plays.

The play call on Westbrook's TD was sweet.  Runyan did a great job pulling into the middle.  It was a very complicated blocking scheme, and the guys all pulled it off well.

All told, the Eagles ran for 180 yards on 34 carries, a 5.3 ypc clip.  If McMahon had even a half-decent passing day, the Eagles run away with that one, causing Favre to throw up a lot more passes in desperation.

[MadMarchHare]

Too bad McMahon sucks moose dick.

[Zanshin]

McMahon didn't have a great day, but it's not like his receivers really helped him out.

[rjs246]

34 rushes. And all it took was for half of their offensive starters to be sitting at home. Yay!
