Comments on: New-school Eagles resisting Mudd’s old-school style http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/15/new-school-eagles-resisting-mudds-old-school-style/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 23:12:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: drew05 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/15/new-school-eagles-resisting-mudds-old-school-style/#comment-1327796 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:45:31 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=160754#comment-1327796 706vet says:

It’s actually media created that this is a bad, brutal o-line. It is not. Despite new players, injuries etc. they’ve actually played pretty well.

Other than week one Vick has been protected well. The offense continues to crank out yardage (3rd in NFL) and still manages to be 11th in NFL PPG. This despite numerous red zone failures and turnovers! Wow!

“Vick is under constant assault” is a media creation meant to make excuses for Vick. Media loves Vick. Period. He’s not running for his life unless he fails to get rid of the ball.

The source probably resides within the Philly area media who despise Andy Reid.

Well said, 706vet.

I was formulating something very close to this…no need, you took care of it for me.

The O-line has gotten much better in every game, and is playing at an acceptable level right now.

Now, if only the tackling issues were a media created phenom…unfortunaltely, that is something that is a real issue.

Hopefully the Iggles hold onto the ball, and bring the ball-carrier down more consitently today.

Go Eagles.

Chargers had the #1 offense and the #1 defense last year, statistically speaking. They watched the playoffs from home.

Iggles problems are that they turnover the ball to often and Castillo has 3 Pro Bowl corners wondering where they’re supposed to play. All that being said if they win this week they’re back in the mix in the NFC least.

Tragically, games are decided by points, not yards.

1-4.

——————————————-

Thanks for ignoring the point of my statement, or maybe you just misunderstood the point. I was responding to someone who seemed to imply that the Eagles were losing games because they weren’t doing what their offensive line coach was telling them to do. I pointed out that the Eagles offense was not the problem.

Buy quickly what Mudd is selling. The guy knows what he’s doing, and if it’s not getting done, it’s not because his techniques and strategies don’t work.
————————-

And why would NFL players want to heed the advice of a blogger who’s never played the game? Stop trying to act like you know the X’s and O’s of the game just because you got on TV. You’re not in the Eagles locker room and you’re not an analyst.

Or maybe, just maybe, they’re not as talented as some thought they were?

You are aware the Eagles are averaging the 8th most yards per game in NFL history through five games, right?

Cowboys OL coach, Hudson Houck, is 65 and the players are responding to him great and are growing as a unit.

Either Mudd isn’t a very good coach (which I don’t believe), or the players need to grow up and act like professionals.

Problem is Andy Reid.

Oakland has a new line coach, and that unit was generally expected to struggle, but Campbell didn’t even have to wash his uniform until after the Houston game.

The coaching might add to the mess, but the talent is clearly missing.

And yes, Reid and the staff is to blame for lame draft picks through the years.

He also coached the line that blocked for Manning a much better QB. And, he had much better talent than the Eagles.
——————————————————–
Peyton Manning is obviously a Hall of Fame QB, but even HE wouldn’t have been nearly as successful flat on his back without a solid offensive line.

I think Howard Mudd knows a thing or two about O-lines.
