Twitter: Interesting comment from Eagles owner on Run Game

[Toruk_Makto]

In other words.... Rushing efficiency is not correlated to winning.

 

[Idgit]

Lol. You don't say?

 

[DFWJC]

Not necessarily Dallas, but I think its pretty common to open up the run game by passing these days.
Spread them out and exploit it

 

[MCMetal69]

When did little Jeffy Lurie become an expert NFL tactician ? And if it's so unimportant , why the mad scramble by Philthy to pick up running backs ?

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Dallas is so far in their heads... you wouldn’t know which franchise has won a title the past 2 seasons and which is in a 24 year drought based on how some people act

Many people here don't say!

Yeah, but only because they don’t actually know better.

So true

"BUT WE HAD THE LEADING RUSHER(and never mentions having the most rush attempts)".

 

[AsthmaField]

Picking Zeke 4th overall was the right choice.

 

[Roadtrip635]

You still have to be able to rush at some point, whether you establish the run to open up the pass or use the pass to open up the run.

 

[DanA]

The term establishing the run is ******** but the run game is between 20-50% of your offensive plays so is obviously worth consideration.

 

[kumizi]

He's right.

Just like the old jump shooting teams can't win the title. Now everyone shoots 3s.

I think just about anyone with owners money can become good at just about anything. They have money. which is time. You cant say the man is not intelligent. Hell Jerry knows a **** ton about football .... his problem is not knowing. Its the fact of making bank for the family business above all.

I won't say!

 

[Corso]

Yeah, but only because they don’t actually know better.

I won't know better!
Although I do...

I'm omniscient!

Yes...
I said it. All-knowing and all that shiz-nozz...
I got it.

Incorrect

How in the world did you get He was talking about Dallas from that comment?

You clearly didn't understand his point.

 

[Qcard]

In other words.... Rushing efficiency is not correlated to winning.

What is Lurie's take on "availability being the most important ability"?

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

The more they pass the quicker Wentz goes down. Short passes are safe but runs are safer.
