Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): THIS IS BRAZIL - Super Bowl LIX Champions

[JojoTheWhale]

You know I'm trying to get better at all this so when I say I get what you're saying and I acknowledge the point you're making at the screenshot bit, you know I'm trying to internalize it

But you also said what I was already going to say. In this case, the ball should already be out. This is the top of a 5 step drop it looks like. 1-2-3-4-5-bang. The pocket is immaculate. Kenny Pickett makes this read. It's not hard to identify man on the outside when a blitz is coming. This is high school stuff. Get the f***ing ball out to the best slant receiver in the world. He's too big and fast. Get the ball to your dude for the easy 6.

The fact that he's still holding the ball in the screen cap is the entire issue

Yep, good read.

I said during the game that what I think happened here is that the jumping pass rusher spooked him off of it. He looks to me like he knows that's where the ball should go and when. He starts loading it up. Now good QB play finds a way to get it there by changing arm angles if getting it batted down is why he stopped, but it's complicated.

When I started learning how to watch film, I'm so thankful that someone drilled into me how important it is to make sure you're not meta scouting. What Calcaterra does there is irrelevant information to Hurts'process because it's not where he is supposed to be looking. You have to strip away what you see. That's meta knowledge. You're looking for players who make good decisions based on their information, not yours.

Feel like what Graham meant was the they were just friends before and now they work together so it’s different.

Why can’t this team ever be normal though?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

T.O. 2.0?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Graham already walked it back and clarified.

Bro I hate this city's f***ing sports media

They are BEGGING to cause trouble between AJ and Jalen. They've been trying to since last year.

Still remember AJ Brown calling into 94WIP last year in the middle of them ramping up s*** talk about AJ/Jalen

AJ could also probably keep his mouth shut but he suffers from Chronic WR brain.

hard to win in fantasy land when 2 wr's total 8 points

Cowboys are garbage. That turnover cost me playoffs in one league. Lost by .02 with that Burrows TD.

If he was going to say all this, he should have said it last year.

Now my only hope is that Lurie steps in and ends this nonsense. I'm not holding my breath on that so my dream is deferred.

I think he said basically nothing - but the city immediately makes it as bad as possible

AJ and Jalen are buddies. This idea that they hate each other is something the media in this town are salivating at the idea of.

"Basically nothing" is not the same as nothing though. He could have just said nothing.

But also, good, the passing game does blow. Someone needs to say it.

It's not the same as nothing, but it basically is nothing. It then goes up-or-down based on how the media decides to talk about it. I remember outrage about Obama using brown mustard on a hot dog around '09 and the media turned that into him being an elitist.

Now if you want to argue that he should know better the Philly media *will* turn anything he says slightly negative into a team controversy, then I agree with you - but he didn't say anything of real note, IMO. As you said, he more or less said the truth which is the passing game (in totality) needs work.

If anyone listens to me about anything related to football, please let it be this: Anyone posting screenshots of open or covered receivers as proof as anything is feeding you bullshit.

Plays are alive. You have to follow your progressions on time. If your 3rd option wins off the LoS and then gets caught 8 yards into his route, that might as well not exist. Part of playing WR at this level is knowing what the windows are and how to time your separation. This is something that Michael Irvin harps on all the time and I assure you I am no fan.

3rd Down with ~3:00 left in Q2. There's a late rotation into a blitz with Man and they have a play on with 2 x Slants to AJB's side. Hurts looks there first. That's the read. This is what we need to judge him on, not whether someone is running up the opposite seam with a flag up. He holds the ball, pulls it, and ends up throwing it away. You have AJB and someone else (I'd have to go back and check who) on Slants vs Man. You know they're coming. You have been given the correct call to beat it. That ball HAS to come out.

Especially views from above. Usually accompanied by "how did he miss this." That ain't what the QB is seeing. QB has to mentally picture what their D formation is and what the assignments are, and then use his knowledge of the route and its situational options to throw to whoever is going to have space at the right time and in the right place. You must brain all this out while large people are trying to harm you.

I mean yes sometimes you can go "how the hell did you not see that" but overall, nothing about it is simple and it is ridiculous that anyone can play NFL QB competently.

They need a passing QB.

That play gave our first place team the win. He is up by 2 games now. We go through week 18, no playoffs, so as few of us still have a chance.

Huge shame that the sunk cost fallacy dictates AJ would be the odd man out between these 2 if/when it comes to it

Good stuff by Howie

 

[FLYguy3911]

wtf lol

 

[DancingPanther]

Do you guys remember when Brett Favre was "accidentally" the recipient of over a million dollars of misappropriated welfare funds by the state of Mississippi?

Don't worry, he said he had no idea. It's probably nothing. He's probably not a completely worthless piece of toilet bowl scum

I don’t think this would be true. I have reason to believe they’re not at all happy with their QB play. Despite them having more hope for a turnaround than I do, I think drafting a guy is on the table.

Isn't Hurts' contract just brutal though in that most of it is guaranteed? Can't imagine a world where he's cut

Correct. He's here. Both can be true.
