The observation thread

[Seabiscuit36]

i still think they need time to play.  MJG was blowing people up sunday too, but that one bad play always stands out. 

[ice grillin you]

i didnt watch him every play but i watched him a lot and i didnt see him blowing up people...for the most part i saw a slow clueless player...i guess i could have missed him dominating people...i have the game on dvr which i will watch again this week

especially with the season over now i agree they both need to play and play a lot because if they end up being the stiffs they appear to be now then their draft strategy must be adjusted cause the futture of their offensive line will be in big trouble

I actually did watch MJG and there were times when he looked awful and times when he looked good. I'd like to think that that's just natural for a rookie in his first extended playing time, but I don't know enough about it to make that call. He and Justice definitely need to get some PT before the year is out. I'd actually like to see Justice at RT, but that won't happen so never mind.

[Seabiscuit36]

Definitely agree, no playoffs means get Andrews healthy.  See what MJG can do.  I think if Castillio can make Jeremy Bridges and Hank Fraley play, then he can get Justice and MJG playing well

MJG vs. DeMarcus Ware
Justice vs. Umenyora (sp?)

Not really the best measure of if a guy is a stiff or not.  Just sayin'.

i love how hunt missed that one block and everybody uses that to justify AR not playing rookies...maybe if the stupid fat farg coached his rookies better they would be better prepared when they were needed.

AJ basically called him out when he said that in Philly if you aren't a #1 you don't get any reps during the week.  that sure is a great way to help young players develop.

umenoyra is not that good and it wasnt like justice just got beat he literally showed he didnt belong in the league...and im jnot judging mjg on any one play...just what ive seen of his small amount of game action and his work at training camps

and while i have huge questions about both of them im not saying either one is a stiff...im saying you need to find out now if they are stiffs or not

makes so much sense because injuries are so low for #1's in the NFL.

Extension.

I know which play you're talking about because while Ware was busy running up the middle, Hunt wast busy blocking Shawn Andrews' ass.  But there was more than once when Ware (among other Cowboy defenders) had a clear path to McNabb. 

Maybe we start to understand why Hunt get's no playing time.

Perhaps.  On the other hand, I don't think you run Hunt out on the field in a known passing situation when you've got 2 veteran runningbacks on the team.  3 if you count Mahe, who isn't a bad blocker and will pretty much do anything you tell him to since he knows the Eagles are his only shot at being on an NFL roster. 

Well... he was in on that play because Westbrook had just limped off the field, Buck was already out with a concussion, and Mahe was in the locker room getting splinters out of his vadge.

Really?  I know Westbrook had just walked off but I didn't know about Buck.  Of course, I was watching in a bar and there was no sound.............

[Magical_Retard]

buck was in active for the game.

i know its hard to notice since he gets like 2 carries a game on a good day.

[BigEd76]

umenoyra is not that good

40 sacks in 4 seasons is bad?

[ice grillin you]

where did i ever say he was bad?

i just said hes not some guy you bring up to use as an excuse to why justice sucked that bad...umenoyra has six sacks this year not against winston justice and has six sacks last year...solid numbers but hes not shawne merrimen or demarcus ware where youd say omg winston justice had to go against osi umenyora he had no chance

umenyora was a product of having michael strahan opposite him...in the last two years where strahan has clearly lost a step youve seen umenyoras production plummett...when strahan comepletely loses it or retires umenorya will be just another average defensive end or maybe worse

[Cerevant]

Umenyora = amenhorhea?

Female problems.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Merriman isn't even that good anymore now either, since he went off the 'roids.

[ice grillin you]

yeah 17 sacks in 12 games last year was a definite fall off

merrimen is arguably the best defensive player in the nfl...top five for sure
