Hyped?

Nobody hype him as a guy who could line up wide. They said he was a good pass catcher. Those are not the same things.

Thats 4.9 targets a game compared to 2.5

The Eagles don't run the ball enough. They love to throw it around. McCoy doesn't line up wide that often.

I think Garrett is trying to do it the way we did it in the mid-90's. Won't work with the guys we have.

Things have changed, the NFL has changed, and our roster certainly has changed.

I echo this , I have been saying in this forum for some time he forgets that he doesn't have the pre-cap era team built with stellar talent facing not so much opposition and impose will team and cant get it.

Also his playcalling (especially situation) $ucks so much, any experienced playcaller will have more production (consistent ) production out of this offense.

Now, if only we can get a decent OL , we can start winning and competing on a consistent basis.

I remember hearing, "he can line up wide and create mismatches." Of course, this is when Marion Barber was supposed to be the feature back.....
