Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Jay Ajayi will be working with a "very limited" set of plays Week 9 against the Broncos.

This isn't surprising as it will likely take a few weeks for Ajayi to get a hang of the playbook and scheme differences. The Eagles Week 10 bye should provide him a good opportunity to figure everything out and see more work going forward. He's a desperation flex play in Week 9.:suds:

After the Ajayi trade, I had this weird feeling...
Like this is Trent Richardson, the 2017 version.
Who trades their starting RB midseason? Seems fishy.

ON SIDE KICKS
Not sure which genius decided that kicking on an angle towards the sideline was the BEST option for an on-side kick? How many go out of bounds? Or fail to go 10 yards? My guess is the percentage is astronomical. Which means that the success rate is awful, minimal.

Solution: why not pooch the kick about 15 to 20 yards down the middle of the field, just over the heads of the "all hands team" standing 10 yards from the ball. It's a soft, non-defended area of the field which gives the kicking team a better than minimal chance to recover the ball.

I've seen it attempted a few times. You have a lot farther to go to get to the ball, though. And I'm sure teams would catch on that quickly.

in my big play league, the wife has Julio...she lost out on about 35 points, not counting the basic yardage, on that play alone..now she's stuck hoping Crosby gets nothing but a few PATS, a single 40 yd fg beats her

I hate bullshit ref calls. I superhate bullshit ref calls that come back and bite you in the ass. You remember that totally bullshit offensive pass interfence call last Thursday that negated ASJ's touchdown in the Bills/Jets game? Well, he's on my team and I lost by...5.5 points. :tsk:

Gonna need Landry to die on the field early in tonight's game.

I am in danger of dropping from the #1 playoff seed to #6 if I lose this week's matchup, all in a matter of weeks.

Amazing how quickly things can change.

Week 10 Flashback
You majesty, I have this idea: you should start Thomas Rawls this week in the flex spot.
Short week. Lacy Hurt. Run team.
What does thou thinketh?

Went into last night down by 75 in my big play money league, my Can and Funchess vs his Gano. Not unheard of for players to score 85+ in this scoring system (kickers can routinely hit 50 given long enough FG'S), So I had some tiny hope, but given the way Can had played, not much.

Cam got 83, Funchess 50+, Came away winning by 45. Nice
