Nine Rushes

I said the same thing, mussa. Run outside for the love of god!

By the way...

Dawkins was on Quite Frankly with Screamin' A. and he took a shot at Big Red...

Said that the Eagles offense is like playing Madden. When the run game isn't working you abandon it and go straight passing.

So now Big Red is catching flak from all over the joint. Time for him to put on a kevlar vest and helmet and hunker down.

YO ANDY...RUN THE EFFING BALL.

farg that. Promote Childress and make Reid the GM. He's great in the front office, but a big farging doofus on the field.

The Eagles called 5 total in the final 3 quarters. 5.

If Andy doesn't run this sunday then I don't think he's ever going to. Right now that is still hope. The Broncos run defense is ranked high, but IMO that entire defense is overrated. Those Browns castaways are bums. They will come down to earth eventually, believe it.

19 rushes this week vs. 36 passes! 35/65! Andy's creating a rushing juggernaut before our eyes!

3 of those were McNabb scrambles. Don't get excited. 29/71. fargers.

That's practically 50/50 in the world of Andy Reid.

the first quarter was played vs a 9-0-0 defense. what good would running have done?

after they forced the broncos to back off....the run/pass was actually about 60/40 for the rest of the game.

Remind me again how the offense did by passing every down in the first quarter. Did they do well? I don't remember.

they were blitzing, a screen or quick trap could bust you a long touchdown, you have to at least show them you'll do it.

You mean, like, the quick hitch to T.O. where he made one guy miss and was gone down the sideline?

they did try though. putting 9 guys on the line was a little more than blitzing. mcnabb would have 1/2 a step to to read and throw, and an handoff would have gone no where. (the couple they tried went no where).

to set up a screen, you need time to move the linemen out to the right or left. how would that have happened with 9 defenders comeing straight to the qb?

the offense did eventually break that, and then were able to play their own game. thats where i give them credit. the only way to break the 9 man line was to find a way to beat it but unless you put 1 man out and keep 9 in to block, there was no way to beat it through conventional ways. but they did which is why they do deserve some credit for fighting through that and then putting together some drives to bring the momentum back to the eagles.

if you have TO 1 on 1 and 9 guys are rushing McNabb it should be a TD every time. McNabbs passes were terrible to start out the game. Just brutal. Any sort of accurate passes in the first couple drives would have solved the issue.

Which takes us back to the point that McNabb has no business suiting up for this team week after week right now.

nah. Dallas played the Zero coverage the other year and McNabb sucked then too. The guy just has below average accuracy when he is hurried like that and he is streaky as hell. Its a wonder that every team doesnt blitz like that every game. McNabb made some great throws in the Denver game which showed the hernia isnt stopping him from doing so. Does it affect him some, yeah. Does the hernia account for his ridulous passes? nah. He has been doing that his entire career.
