Any body watching the Eagles practice?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Read reports from winning teams like the Eagles Bengals and Cheifs. Limit field time and increase classroom room time.

What reports? And how do you know what those timings are to make such a claim?

 

[TwoDeep3]

Do you have nothing better to do?

The same could be said to you every time you mention the starting QB of this Dallas team.

The eagles are feeling pretty good about themselves. They have everyone and their brother telling them how great they are, and the media is just kissing their butts left and right.

Also, if defensive coordinators have figured out how to stop their QB from running free through the secondary, their playhouse is going to burn down. Their passing game and their defense all came easy because Hurts ran for first down after first down. Passing windows were wide open and the defense could just pin their ears back to rush the QB because teams weren’t ready to play that system with a running QB, leading to a ton of scoring for the Philly offense.

You better hope defensive coordinators haven’t figured it out.

IMO the key is stopping the first down runs without committing both safeties. Let’s see them convert first down after first down against our pass rush when they have 2nd and 8 or 9 every time. When they get 4 to 6 yards running on first down every time the first downs come easy behind that great OL

Look, I'm not gonna argue this. They have been doing this for a few years now and their results speaks for themselves. Just do a little bit of research.This is a trend in the NFL. Limit filed time, increase classroom time.

We’ll see… you know defensive coordinators have been working on it all summer.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Nothing wrong with watching the Eagles practice. I don't see the big deal. It helps you to see what we could be facing.

I see no issue either.

 

[AsthmaField]

I see no issue either.

Yeah, I agree. Of course there’s nothing wrong with it. During the season, if Dallas isn’t playing then, I’ll always watch a division rival game if I can. They are more important to Cowboys fans than, say, New Orleans or some AFC team.

Their fans pay attention to Dallas and Cowboys fans pay more attention to them. It is the way.

 

[rambo2]

Teams go to an extreme these days to try and give themselves an edge, especially against a division rival that’s coming off a Super Bowl appearance. Who knows, Jerry could have someone keeping tabs on their training camp. As a fan I certainly wouldn’t be interested in watching their camp practices, but to each their own.

Everybody knows that that guy is a nut.

Eagles pass more than they run on first down.

But if it’s a read option play, they themselves don’t even know which it will be until the ball has snapped and the defender(s) have committed. It’s a split second decision that can go either way

Oh for sure. Most of us do. I’ll never watch a rival over our own games but we play a lot of prime time games so yeah it’s easy for us to watch our rivals play.

So you cannot back your word and want others to do it for you. Assertions without proof are to be discarded.

PS. The CBA dictates all of that.

 

[sarge1116]

What are we even talking about here? You want proof ? For example , try listening to a podcast from another team. Listen to the guys that are there at camp, listen to what they are saying an how short practices are. Im not gonna post that for you.

learn your team. The last 3 years they rank 30, 31 and 29 in % of passes thrown on first down. Yes, I understand how the read option works.

That's been the key since 1960.

"Figuring it out" isn't like solving a simple crossword puzzle. Eagles have the best o-line in football, and present multiple options most every play.

I learned this weekend that AJ Brown had an 80% catch rate on contested balls. Even when well guarded he makes the catch A LOT.

 

[Jarntt]

That's been the key since 1960.

And with only 1 SB win in their entire history it seems to work on the Eagles...
