He is and have never been about rushing the QB. And tonight we stopped Phillys rushing. Since that is what his job mainly is I say... Good job.

 

With that said. Something is not right with the D-line and he is on the D-line so some blame he must take.

Philly is also using RBs that are the equivalent of Fozzy and Cap as their starters. 

I’m glad we seemed to stop the run today, but there were moments were they had a nice run or two

Man you guys like to pick a good player and nitpick. The whole team played like a bag of ass, clueless for the first 3 quarters and much of the season so far.

i put that on Rivera and Washington for the defense. 

They are taking too long to adjust to their players and get out of their own way. They stick to their wanted scheme too long without adjusting to their players and situational football.

then Poe or whomever is getting blamed get picked on, Cam for 3 quarters etc.

when Rivera loosens up and let’s them play, the x-factor comes out.

Poe helped get those stops the 4th quarter  and was largely instrumental in the last 3 and out of everyone watches again.

He’s terrible. Wiffs on tackles, gets manhandled in one on one situations and is slower than molasses 

 

    And yet we won. How'd that happen? Some of what you say is true, and some is not. He is not terrible, and he is not slower than molasses. You are just making stuff up again. Can't be much of an argument, if you have to make things up.

     You could say that about almost anyone. 

 

    Cam saved us. But he would not have been able to, if the WRs don't make catches, the Oline doesn't block, or the Defense doesn't shut the Iggles down.

 

    Football is a team game. This is not basketball.

Star was massively underrated here at what he was good at. He never became a pass rusher but goddamn he kept the linebackers clean. Poe has played ok, not great.

this is exactly what I feared when Star left. He helped Luke be an All Pro

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

I will take Poe over Star any day.

    I'm sorry. but that made me actually laugh. Thanks for the smile.

 

    So Poe is the ONLY one we won in spite of? Oh Goob, dude. You are a trip. You speak in absolutes, so you back yourself into a corner. Got to give you credit though, you never let us see you sweat.

1st fourth down convertion went right at Butler who continued to disappoint. 

Yea, he did poorly then but on the first TD to Alshon he was the only player with any penetration aside from Horton.

On the 20+ yarder from inside their own 5, Butler ran the inside move on the stunt, ate up the RG + the C while pushing them into the LG. If they had him running the stunt instead of Love, we might have gotten there in time as the LT had picked up Shaq coming in on the blitz. The following 20+ yard throw he was being double teamed again.

Midway thru the 3rd, we ran a delayed stunt where the DTs pushed to the outside for the DEs to pop back inside. Butler's pressure helped create a hole for Peppers to come thru but Wentz got it off in time. Half second later and that's a sack.

During the bootleg for their 2nd TD, Butler beat the blocks and was in the backfield chasing after him.

Considering that he only got 20 snaps, I don't think he's disappointing at all. Folks forget that he was insurance in case we lost Short to free agency. With all of the clamoring for DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel to get snaps, the Huddle sure does seem to love leaving Butler out of that conversation. :/

When you have talented players that don't perform, you look to coaching.  I'm sorry, but Eric Washington is not looking good AT ALL.  I'm not sure who replaced him as the DL coach, but maybe it's that guy's fault too?
