Any updates on his injury? The OL wasn't the same after he went out.
 
Parnell wasn't bad he got blown up once that I can recall. Yes Doug is the better player and he really rounds out this oline. But there is a serious issue in the middle when facing a dline with speed and power. They couldn't move those guys and that concerning
 
No it wasn't, can we now stop with the Free sucks and Parnell's better stuff. He isn't.
Yup, this isn't up for debate. You'd have to be blind to think otherwise. Parnell is a good backup, but that's it.
 
I think there was also something with martin that also helped exacerbate the line problems on the right.
 
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbut wait for the All-22 Film fellas...........;)

I'm not on the Parnell wagon, but I'll stick up for xwalker and his All22 stuff every day of the week. I love the guys that take the time to do that and share what they see. It's so easy to take shots at their effort, but every one of them is worth a dozen guys who do nothing but drive bys in my book.
 
I like X's stuff, but not convinced on Parnell. He looks like Tarzan but too often plays like....

He played really well in pass protection. He's a backup OT who's stepped in and helped us when we've needed it. Free's got better footwork and is more nimble in the running game. I don't love either guy, but you can win games with this offense with both of them.
 
While I agree that Free is the better player, it's crazy to suggest that the Free/Parnell substitution was the reason the OL struggled. Philly's interior DL consistently won the battles in the run game from the 2nd quarter on. That was the key to Philly stonewalling Murray. There was no push and Murray was often running into a brick wall of green.

At least the OL held up in pass pro this time around.
 
Collinsworth was taking shots at Parnell all night. Made it known that he didn't think this OL was the same after Free left.

I wonder if @xwalker muted the rest of the game or if he just watched the game in tears.

Did you all catch collingsworth salivating all over Eagles grahams jock .. The one play where he came inside and blew up Murray .. I believe collingsworth said something like man I want to see him get to romo but they keep running it
