Lamb has not had a 100 yard receiving game since Halloween of last year, and during that time he's played 11 games with Dak.
They also had Cooper and Gallup taking targets plus Shultz and the RBs...

Unless you are a straight passing team you aren't getting multiple 100 yard receivers in the same game

What a mess. We have a 2...at best....most often 2.5 mental midget with a body built by Snoop posing as a 1...we have a 3 that shouldn't have been resigned, who only catches sideline routes posing as a 2....we have a special teams WR that supposedly "blocks well" and ocasionally finds a squirrel nut because he has caught thousands of balls with the backup QB posing as a 3. This corp will do nothing....especially given who is about to return at QB next week. If Booger and Chuckles resign Snoop, they both formally need to be committed....other teams swap out and retool WR corps on the fly. The Eagles had the worst WR corp the last couple of years....look now. Watch and see how long we stay saddled with this bottom 5 mess.
We have three number 2 receivers.
That would work if we were getting great QB play.

Maybe it’s time to surrender another 1st round pick for a wide receiver we can then turn around and trade for a 3rd round pick three years later.

I'd still stand by everything I said....I've been saying this for months now.
It would have made CeeDee 9th in the NFL in receiving yards all while playing with a backup QB for almost every game

Truth…..they shine against the weakest teams but go bye bye against defenses that press
Eagles AJ Brown better than any WR we have rostered.
Devonte Smith is eagles WR2 and probably better than our WR1 as well.
Lets chew on that fat for a moment.

This has been the TOP topic of mine for months....this and Dak is what will keep us from going "next level"
No Jerry is keeping us down and stupidity . Stupidity rears it’s ugly year in some fashion on a regular basis
11 penalties week 1
Last night Fowler cost us 4 pts and our brain scholar of a coach cost us 3 that’s 7 right there even with a qb that sucked balls we still would have had a chance
This theme plays itself out on the regular

I don’t think the receiving core is all that bad actually you can’t have pro bowlers everywhere

the WR group is fine. We haven't really seen them with the Starting QB. Game 1 was a hot mess, Dak especially. When they were open, he couldn't get the ball to them. With Rush and his limited arm talent, it hard to judge really. Would some of those outs be completed if the ball was there faster? Of course the DB is going to play press, why not? Even if the WR get's behind them, they likely have time to make up any seperation due to the ball being in the air longer. Both Gallup and Lamb are capable of stretching the field and Washington and Brown are both really good possession types. I do wish they would get some snaps for Turbo though, he could be fun to watch, if he can catch on the run.

Nonsense


If his $20m was actually used to upgrade the linebackers and DTs on this team, we wouldnt care about Amari at all
Amari is just another example of a cowboy whose legendary status once gone far exceeds what was accomplished while here
I don’t like we only got a fifth but we didn’t lose Devonte like skill set

There is no doubt and I mean zero that we don't have a elite big strong WO that can run both thru you or by you. Coop when healthy was that guy, but his best years are behind him. Frankly, we haven't had a guy like that since Dez was in his prime or even an old TO. Frankly there are only a few guys in the league like that. Even Diggs in Buffslo isn't a physical freak. Metcalf in Seattle is on that mold. Brown is that good in Phillg although he lacks top end speed. IMO we have no one who is going to win a 50 50 ball against a good corner.
