Mr. Scot

Does anybody wanna hang on to the football tonight? Both teams keep trying to give it away.

Is there such a thing as being credited with a quarter sack? Looked like four guys got Hurts.

That was looking like a great return until the end

False start call on the Eagles right tackle already in tonight's game

Cousins is gonna have rushers in his face all night.

That was a near disaster.

Yeah, he was two steps ahead.

Always go after the replacement guy

Yeah I haven't watched the video, but going off my own analysis I was plenty encouraged. He played a smart game, stayed cool and passed (for the most part) accurately. There's gonna be growing pains, but if you weren't expecting that you're not thinking.

Yeah, I thought that was kinda odd

Yeah, that was pure bullsh-t. They did at least get him before game's end though, and at a crucial time. If they were ever gonna flag him, that was the time to Day it.

Re: Marshall The guy who pushed the team to draft him got (deservedly) fired in the middle of his second season as OC. Then the guy who hired and fired him got fired, so in a way he's "orphaned" as a Panther. He's got talent, and great physical traits. Those things alone don't make a great player though, and Marshall has struggled to put it together. My biggest question is whether or not Shawn Jefferson can bridge the gap between what he is and what they think he could be. My guess? He'll play out the season and be allowed to seek work elsewhere next year. But we'll see.

This'll be something to watch.

He's technically still with them, but in a lesser role. Reported to be good friends with David Tepper though.

Not sure what to make of this game. The Eagles didn't look as good as last year in Week 1, and the Vikings are still hard to get a read on. They've got a load a talent though.

He wasn't cut, actually still isn't. That story's still playing out...in very weird ways

Yeah, saw that

Agree on all that. I'd add that size notwithstanding, Young is a damn near ideal fit for a WCO style attack.

I'd say it is. That said, we do have to factor in the coaching changes.

We're not devoid of talent at all. We're in year one of a rebuild where we've shifted from drafting for a college type 3-3-5 where the DC wanted small players up front to an NFL prototype 3-4 that needs massive guys up front. On offense, we're moving to a Reid style WCO (with some Sean McVay influences via our OC) from.an offense that was basically a mishmash spearheaded by a nimrod with no clear plan other than to throw players together and see what worked. Hell, we got lucky on the defensive side at least in that our arguably best player is better tuned to what we're doing now than the role he was shoehorned into before. That may be, but it's not the GM's fault.

Basic Walsh style WCO as opposed to Coryell style longball passing....

That's a consequence of the coaching change, though.
