Eagles 2022-2023 Season

[Florida_Sunshine]

So far, so good. Saints lost. Their pick will be decent.

Good come-from-behind win for Eagles after very slow start.

Good win today.

I really wish the Eagles had claimed Cooper Rush instead of Ian Book. They had a chance to put Dallas in a tough situation, skipped it.

Defense was awesome in the slop (for the most part). Don't know how the Jacksonville receiver got so open in their last TD drive, though. Injuries are worrisome, too.

Slay--forearm
Mailata--Shoulder
Patrick Johnson--?
Elliot--foot
Seumalo--ankle
D. Smith--foot (returned)

Yes, was an ugly day for injuries, but none of them seemed real bad. Mailata was jogging to the locker room, Elliot was clearly hurt but still kicked (but his kickoffs were line drives). Hopefully Slay is ok. Isaac S. rolled his ankle, will be sore, might miss a game but dit look all that bad.

So far we have been lucky with Injuries, a side effect of having a young team. Hopefully we can keep that going because this team is very good when the starters are out there.

He was running, but wasn't his arm hanging?

[bkeich]

No Problem, a couple of oil cans of Foster's.... good to go.

Eagles opponents are still 0-0 on FG attempts after 4 games. Just odd.

rewatching the game and seeing just one thing that surprised me. on that pick 6 for the jags. AJ Brown is running beside the CB that intercepted. he is running with him for 5 yards. is the kid afraid of contact? I certainly doubt it, because he looks for contact when he catches the ball. just a weird look. very nice comeback, and on their way to AZ.

Camera showed Elliot downing pain pills on the sideline. Silly announcers and the columnist on Bleeding Green criticized Sirianni for not trying field goal at the end of game. That likely was because, in declining order of importance: Elliot injury made success doubtful; wind made success doubtful; Sirianni thought they could make the yardage.

Brown said after the game that he wanted to try to strip the ball and get it back because defensive players don't know how to carry the ball but then he got blocked - and that next time he will just try to tackle. He admitted he made a bad decision but it wasn't about the contact.

[gmwannabe]

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.

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...

[xogfog]

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.
