Fly, Eagles Fly
It goes beyond the guards but they are definitely part of the problem.
SethJjoyner pointed out last night that Chip runs a soft TC. They don't hit very much at all. Buddy and Andy had 2 a days, and were hitting in all of them. Maybe that's why we have so many injuries - the guys are not strong.

Wings made the same point about the lack of hitting. Some coaches say you need hitting in TC to see what certain guys are really made of. I guess Chip thinks he can tell. He may be wrong.
Eagles are a soft team
Have been so for a couple of years IMO
I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe my mind is sluggish but I can't think of a bruising mean player or players that the Eagles have had recently
Maclin, McCoy, Jackson were not players like that
Peters seems to have lost a step this year
Murray could be that type of player - one who punishes - if he gets rolling
Maybe it isn't needed but I do miss the days of Dawkins, Joyner, Hopkins, etc.
I'm not saying dirty players but hard hitting punishing players that opponents get their head on a swivel for
You guys should make an offer for RG3, probably pick him up for a mid-round pick.
iggloo... that pic of Bradford just makes me laugh (and cry) everytime I see it.
Too predictable under Bradford? How? He's played two games in Chips offenseI think the poor guard play is a false narrative. FWIW, PFF says the culprits were Kelce and Peters. These guys have been in the system for several years and have started and had success before.
The issue is this offense has gotten too predictable under Bradford for several reasons.
- He rarely tests them deep.
- He doesn't execute fakes very well so the defense knows what is coming. If your not going to do Read Option, you need an equivalent like the play action.
- The coaches are afraid to have him run read option as it exposes him to hits.

I agree teams are crowding the box dating Bradford to throw deep, but the predictability is on Chip.

I'm surprised at the lack of offense with the Eagles so far, I never bought into the 40 points a game some have said will happen, but I did expect more than they have shown thus far. Who knows, maybe each man looks at himself to fix his individual mistakes and the offense works. I don't see it as a few individual mistakes but more so as a whole group not working together. I expected your defense would burn out due to how fast the offense got on and off the field, but I thought they'd have yards and points to show for it. I won't sit here and say the Eagles are done because if they figure out what ails them they will be hard to stop.I don't disagree. Its hard to say how much of protecting Bradford is Bradford or Kelly.
I'd say that Cox and Logan are very physical.
