Eagles: fewest rushing yards through 2 games since 1948

The three-headed monster looks like a three-headed hamster. Chip forgot that you need offensive linemen to run the football.

I heard a funny comment on the radio this morning while working out: "Where did Chip find these guards, on the side of I-95?"

Edit: Oops, I forgot to at 7TH fewest in my title. If a mod could change that would be great.

Demarco Murray has gained 11 yards on 21 carries this year.

Its an easy narrative that this offense is struggling because of the guard play. Fact is these guards started a combined 11 games last year and the team did just find with them in there. This is really more about game planning and QB play.

Actually the team didn't do fine with the guards in there last year. The Eagles struggled with these same guards in there last year. Which is what made their return all the more puzzling.

No, the guards have been letting too many defenders in. The plays as they happen are the proof of that statement.

I always wonder if you watch games facing the TV or the wall because your interpretation of things is always..."different".

Shady struggled mightlity when our starting OL was out.

These RB's are getting hit 2 to 3 yards behind the LOS ... the OL is playing badly, there's no sugar coating it. Not letting Bradford or the coaching staff off the hook as better QB play and play calling can "help", but there's no way around it, the OL has been stinking up the joint the first 2 games.
