Players get some time off but coaches continue to work. Having said that, would like to hear people's opinion on what they are hoping to see or new wrinkles to be added as this team comes out of the bye and what projections record wise do you foresee.

For me I would like to see a bit more involvement of Turpin in the offense, he is only getting 10% of the snaps on offense last 2 games but would like to see him involved in passing game

Predicted 7-2 record to finish reg season at 13-4

I agree on Turpin. When we bring him in now, it's mainly to run or fake a sweep. I'd like to see him used a little like we did Beasley, as the third receiver breaking ankles underneath. The difference is that I think Turpin might have the ability to take it deep if they overplay the short routes.

The interest we showed before the trade deadline seemed to center on Brandin Cooks and Turpin might be the closest thing we have to him. Of course, we won't know until we put him out there and actually use him as a receiver.

What we did with 3TEs and Lamb in the backfield except use Pollard. If the defense has bigger personnel thinking we'll run, pass out of it even using Pollard as a receiver. If the defense has smaller personnel, run with Pollard. Go no hurdle so that the defense can't sub. This will give us an advantage due to the mismatches it will create.

Would like to see the TEs continue to be more integrated on passing and running plays.
The rooks have already shown to have decent hands, and with Schultz could really provide some nice targets.
If Hendershot and Ferguson can get as comfortable with Dak as Schultz already is, would go a long way in improving the receiving options.

Although someone already said it, I would love to see Turpin out there stretching the defense. While they're at it, maybe using Diggs 2-3 plays a game on offense. Diggs would be great catching those 50/50 balls along the sideline.

yes, and it is punishing on the D to boot

as much as I would like to see Turp in the slot, I'd be tempted to hold off on that until a bit later in the season, to keep him healthy for ST duty for now.

I'd hope they are doing it in practice for preparation for that time

More confusion sets. Like the 3 TEs out wide. 13, 12, less shotgun, more pre-snap motions, etc.

More designated QB carries. Dak isn't the world's fastest but he's an effective runner and his 5 carries for a 6.8 average and 1 TD were about what I'd like to see in every game.

More interior blitzing from the SS position. With the pressure the DEs are creating off the edge a DE slant out should create a hole that I would think players like Kearse/Wilson would feed from.

Wildcat formation with both Turpin and Pollard in the backfield.

I want a fake punt sometime this season and I want Bossman to catch it. He's fast and Dallas needs to salvage what they can from the kid. Special teams ace is better than naught.

Ya the risk of a qb running always makes it tougher on DCs and the LBers during the game. Teams with immobile QBs are clearly at a disadvantage.

Jerry at QB, Stephen at FB. That'll confuse the Eagles.
