Spin it however you want, but with the OL that Wentz had last year, Sirianni called a fantastic mix of plays, and hardly even used Ertz. I agree though, ATL's DBs are bad. DL can be good with Jarret. LBs are decent. Yea my roomate is a eagles fan i watch both teams every week its easy to make the plays look better against weaker competition . atl has terrible coaching and a bad roster the colts would of looked great playing them .

Eagles suck, they played a bad team today and everyone knows it. I would bet anyone in here and anyone in Philly any amount they want too that we have a better record than they do this year. Any takers, I hope so, so I can take your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catloaf Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 WR has been a problem for years and never gets addressed. We could have had Metcalf and got Parris who is made of noodles. I mean, we tried, but we're still lacking any imapact at WR. Hines is our best WR followed probably by Strahan at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Wentz made a good point when asked about the oline. He said some of that comes down on him also for not calling the right protection or getting them out of a bad play. 2 minutes ago, Catloaf said: WR has been a problem for years and never gets addressed.

Captain_Colts1317 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Overall I thought Wentz was good. Everybody else looked really rusty and out of sync. Honestly what can we expect with the lack of preseason snaps, injuries and Covid? The Oline was really out of sync. JT looked rusty also. Defense was horrible in first half, played good in second half. Good news ? Our first two games are against NFC so we have until week 3 to get a lot of kinks worked on both sides of the ball. The goal is to win the division which we can do even losing our first 2 games at home. Let’s remember this team is going to look a lot different in week 18 than week 1. Let’s focus on getting healthy, get everyone in sync, and opening up the play book more as the season goes on. Winning the division has been the goal and still needs to be remembered. Yes it sucked to lose, but this season, and team are far from done or overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt, Straw, and Pascal are all nice players, but are only real fits for one spot, X. And the "potential Z", Parris, is a nice Z in theory only, because he hasn't really even been here yet. A bunch of nice players don't match up well against playoff caliber teams. Can't blame Frank for that. Frank's main in-game problem is that he relies upon analytics way too much. Seems to implicitly trust it rather than to rely upon getting a feel for the game. Throw the stats sheet away, and he'll start to see truths. This isn’t true. One of Reich’s staples is having his WR play anywhere on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, usage has been our problem... Campbell - played in OSU's system, but was in motion like a Z plenty. Take a look at his highlights from OSU. Ballard and Frank both commented that he would gradually work outside, so it's pretty easy to assume they drafted him to be the heir apparent at Z. He has speed, and knows how to run out of motion, which are the prerequisites for a Z. He's not been our Z simply because we have TY. Pittman - Vaughns played most of slot, but PIttman ran across the middle a decent amount, and was not always the wide WR. And really, in terms of Z in general, just need to have speed and run good routes. Any size will do. Heck, If Patmon or Strachan can run good routes, they could play Z. Pascal is really the only tweener with speed limitations, but he overcomes that limitation running perfect routes and doing all the little things perfectly.

coming on strong Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Frank said they had to limit the play book because of wentz injury and lack of practice . When wentz got here he had to learn the regular play book and the colts were gonna change the offense to fit his style of play . when wentz only has 5 or 6 practices you can't add new plays to the playbook not enough time to get on the same page as the wrs . The offensive plays will improve as time goes on the colts are at a huge disadvantage right now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking at the big picture. Our safeties got beat by Lockett, and the other receiver is Metcalf. Wilson, Metcalf, Lockett. SEA three best players on O. Look at who those players are and what they do. Our three best players on O are Nelson, Smith, and Taylor...at times Hines. And you want to complain about coaching and play calling, like it would matter, LOL. Maybe Wentz will get there, and some others. But not early in the season.
