That makes sense. he certainly delivers punishment after he catches the ball.

Brown tweeted that he was trying to get an angle to strip the ball and he mis-estimated the DB's speed, then got blocked.

Sounds like Slay and Maddox are only short-term injuries and both may play next week. I haven't heard of news of Mailata's MRI, but Tyrese Robinson was signed to the PS. I've got to think that losing Clark was horrible timing. At least the team has a bye in 3 weeks.

28 posts were split to a new topic: Discussion of aging and endurance focusing on marathons

Marathon and aging/endurance discussion split here...

Please take the endurance, etc. discussion to that thread, thanks.

I will be relocating posts to that thread that are not relevant to the Eagles.

Contrary to what I've heard elsewhere, this video review shows many plays where Driscoll struggled. If we miss both Mailata and Dillard for a couple of weeks Hurts will be running for his life...

In all fairness Driscoll is the right tackle backup, I don't think he had practiced at all at the left tackle position. If he gets to practice there with the 1s this week, he should be better.

EPA per play rating of all NFL teams (some small amount of "garbage time" play is filtered out):

schillingfan 2022-10-06 23:50:22 UTC #282

I give. What is EPA and what do each side of the graph measure?

phillychuck 2022-10-06 23:59:42 UTC #283

EPA is a football analytic like WAR, except adjusted to plays ... EPA is expected points added per play based on the situation before and after the play (not on the actual points scored). x-axis is EPA/play for offense, y-axis is EPA per play for defense. You want to be in the upper right, subtracting points on defense and adding them on offense.

It helps on that graph tp have played Washington.

nycphils 2022-10-07 15:34:02 UTC #285

Sure but the Jags, Lions and Vikings are all on the positive side of the offensive EPA graph…where would they all have been if they didn’t have to face the Eagles?

BostonRoss 2022-10-07 18:14:08 UTC #286

The Lions offense might’ve been better against the Eagles than in their other games.

phillychuck 2022-10-07 19:36:44 UTC #287

Lions had no St. Brown and Swift last week and still scored 45 points. They are pretty good.

Close game yesterday, but Eagles prevailed. Missed kick would have tied it with seconds left. This season kind of has a 2017 feeling to it. That said, I'm not rooting for Hurts to get hurt and Minshew to win the Super Bowl, but the team is off to a 5-0 start which is only surpassed by the 81 team that opened 6-0 and the 2004 team which opened 7-0. Big test next week, The Cowboys are playing well and they come in here for Sunday Night Football and a battle for first place as they are right on our heals at 4-1 (so are the Giants, amazingly too).

gmwannabe 2022-10-10 12:17:16 UTC #289

Games are getting closer. Cowboys coming to town and the stadium will be rocking. if the eagles give rush time to throw even he can pick them a part. a lot of open receivers yesterday. injured offensive line will be a problem. will they get to 6-0....... not this year. cowboys defense is the best they will face yet.

Patriots solved the Lions' offense yesterday, shutting them out in New England. Swift was still out, and St. Brown was back but not 100%, but still an accomplishment by NE. Game was closer than the score (yards gained were within 10% for each team) but NE kept Detroit away from the end zone.

xogfog 2022-10-15 10:37:13 UTC #291

DeSean Jackson wants to play for the Eagles again. I would consider bringing him in just to return punts at least until he pulls a hamstring and then bring Covey back.

xogfog 2022-10-16 03:33:12 UTC #292

Some roster moves. OL Dillard recalled from IR, DE Robinson moved to IR. S Chachere elevated from the practice squad for tomorrow night's game. Practice squad OL Williams was added to the practice squad IR.

The final injury report is good news, only back CB Jobe is listed as questionable, all the starters are full go.
