1. Taylor Hart is the new Brandon Bair. Active and played 25%.
2. Tobin and Molk are your game day active OL backups.
3. Marcus Smith was inactive. I don't see that changing for awhile.
4. Ertz has surpassed Celek and is now the number 1 TE. He played 70% while Celek played 36%. Very few two TE sets.
5. Agholor and Matthews are your starting WRs (80-85% playing). Agholor didn't do much with that. Huff and Cooper played about the same amount of time (49-58%). So all 4 WRs played alot.
6. True RBBC. Sproles 34%, Murray 45%, Matthews 22%.
7. Alonso and Hendricks both played 100%. Demeco Ryans played 34% so there is evidently some packages where all three play. They are paying Ryans alot to be a spare part.
8. Eric Rowe didn't play on defense. It seems Maragos came in on passing downs as a Safety and Jenkins moved into the slot. Maragos played 47%.
On to the game...
1. The offense in the first half looked totally off. I think there were at least three plays where Bradford threw to a Receiver that wasn't looking for the ball, or broke the opposite way of the pass. Additionally, the running game was totally bottled up.
2. On defense, it seemed the same way. They had not answer for Julio. Not that anyone else does either. Good bootlegs and play action by Ryan.
3. Gotta give the coaching staff credit for making adjustments. The second half was a totally different game, and you can see where Bradford can really excel in this system. They did a much better job on Julio as well.
4. 52 passes to 16 runs!!! Really? I don't know what to think of that?? That is arguably horrible, but there is something to be said to adjusting and taking what is there. It also was still very effective in terms of sustaining drives. Bradford was like 20-22 at what point in the second half, so its not like they were desperation deep throws. It was an effective style and highlighted Bradford's accuracy.
5. Vegas called this one correctly. a 1 point line and the Eagles almost nailed it exactly. This was predicted to be one of those games that would be decided in the end by a lucky play or two and that is exactly what happened. Exciting game to watch, and you can't get too down on a team that played so great in the second half and had the lead late.
6. The game was lost in the first half, not the second. In the second, its easy to second guess the pass through Matthews hands, the missed FG, the decision to kick the FG, but all that to me is more in the shhh happens category. tough plays, tough decisions that could have went either way.
