No comments on Schwartz?

Nothing puts a stop to an offense like planting their QB facefirst into the turff.

Up by 3 scores is a great time to blitz, selectively of course. With both safetys back can afford to bring 1 LB or even a corner depending. The fact that dehr Schwartzie is willing to suffer the death of 1000 cuts without complaint is a problem for me. How many 4th quarter comebacks must we suffer before he realizes that giving up 200 yards in the 4th quarter is NOT a good strategy. I would have loved to have been his buddy in high school. "Hey Jimbelina mind if I dance with your date? I'll take her home and you guard the punchbowl for me"

 

The Eagles have a top notch OLINE especailly at both tackle positions (Thomas and Runyon). Not many teams will get pressure on the Eagles rushing 4 on 5.

 

Their OL is also one of the biggest and strongest. Just take a look at the starters

William Thomas - 6'7, 335
Todd Herremans - 6'6, 321
Jamaal Jackson - 6'4, 330
Shawn Andrews - 6'4, 340 and is also one of the best OG's in the NFL
Jon Runyan - 6'7, 330

They can simply overpower almost any DL in the league. However, our DL has been doing this exact same thing all year, so that basically negates my post, but I just wanted to point it out anyway.

 

Let's hope it keeps up. But don't forget- he has also been pasted by several REALLY BAD or mediocre offenses. (and the Eagles offense we saw yesterday was NOT the same as from earlier games in the year)

I, for one, will give him credit for the 2 games out of say- 40 that he deserves. I hope it continues. If it does, I'll give him more than 5% credit.

 

The Eagles burned up clock better than our offense could have. I know on one drive they used over 6 minutes and then blew the FG. I really don't see that as being bad. The way Vince was throwing we had a better chance controlling their D than taking a chance with interceptions and our O.

 

The defense gave up almost 400 yards to a backup QB.... We would have lost if we didn't have the big plays. Every dog has its day... Don't worry, Schwartz still sucks... Why must the people who don't hate Schwartz defend him every win we got? I don't understand?

Do you people really think that a last ranked defense and a 3 win team deserves any credit? Give me a break... I get so tired of listening to people try to defend.

"Oh, did you see Schwartz's defense held them in check for 1 drive", woopteedoo! As a coordinator in the NFL, you are only as good as you are consistent. We are terribly inconsistent. Sure we don't have a pure pass rush, but we have pro bowl caliber players on defense, and the fact remains.

WE ARE STILL LAST IN THE LEAGUE IN DEFENSE and underachieving as a team unit, and Jimmy is the devil with a red hat on.

 

This may explain why we gave up so many yards.


"Also at his Monday afternoon press conference, Fisher praised his team's efforts in Philadelphia, where the defense endured 91 snaps while the offense only managed 15 in the second half and the team still won by a large margin"

 

So we are supposed to praise someone whose defense "endured 91 snaps"? Geez, last time I checked, that meant they couldn't get off the field... :(
