That Navage looks pretty grose and hard to keep clean.

Menshew reminds me of Heinicke the way they play.

But it wasn’t. It was within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage. It’s a fundamental principle, when running rub routes, the WR has to run a natural “route”. Make contact look incidental. You can’t lower your shoulder while side-eyeing the defender you’re supposed to block.

The route was a natural route run by many receivers on most teams. You run 2-3 yards straight, then angle in toward the end zone in the gap between the safeties. It's a very common route.

In this case, the defender not only stopped Lamb from doing that, he knocked him down.

It is not the receiver's responsibility to avoid defenders. That burden is on the defender.

As I said, if Lamb had posted up, or even turned more inward it would have easily been offensive pass interference.

As it was though, Lamb ran a route many receivers run and the defender got caught chasing his man and lost sight of the receiver running his route and as a result, ran into him. Fortunately for him it was close enough to the line of scrimmage that it did not result on the defender getting an illegal contact penalty thrown against him. Unfortunately though, the receiver he was way behind chasing scored a touchdown.

Let’s go D……

 

[Zman5]

Ref holding grudge against the Cowboys defense for last week's complaints.

 

[DenCWBY]

we are an undisciplined team

Have been for many, many years.

 

[TheJynxedOne]

Need a sack or turnover or something!

 

[john van brocklin]

Just watching the D without Parsons is like watching a different team. Boring

Miss him

 

[MarcusRock]

Whoa, got away with an unnecessary roughness there on Neal.

 

[glimmerman]

Just asking for a flag.. Throwing people. Rude..

 

[just_catch_it]

Will be real embarrassing if we lose tonight while they have basically pulled all their starters Just Embarrassing performance

 

[ultron]

Kelvin will be covering smith for the next 7 years. If he would've started from day one, he'd be way better. He needs to jam more like Diggs. If Diggs won't jam, he might as well drop 10 pounds and get quicker.

Kelvin will end up being a better CB than Diggs. Book it.

 

[Sonicxtacy02]

Neither LB knew what to do with the ball up in the air

 

[jwooten15]

That TE looked like he was gonna start running backwards lol

 

[Rajveer]

What happened to this defense.

 

[J_Allen]

Yeah we're all here to see you throw penalties. How about that hold on Gregory.

 

[Ken]

I get we are missing Diggs and Parsons but the Eagles are missing everyone and are D has No answers for Minshew and this 2nd string team

Diggs, Parsons, AB, jayron kearse.

 

[zeke21]

Parsons is our defence. End of story.

Oh and I pray Moore gets a HC gig.. he is trash.
