by the way i would like to see any Eagle fan step up and say that when it happened they were sorry to see Winston Justice traded you know that bum that grew into the statistical best L.T. in football.

———–

Can’t say I was sorry to see him go…

What I can say is…he was never going to succeed in Philly…he had so many terrible games, not just the Osi game on National TV…there were plenty of others…

His confidence in what he was being asked to do was gone. I am glad that somebody has gotten to him…he sure was talented enough.

As for Statistical best LT… I’m sure you have numbers to back that up…but I find that really hard to believe…

In the end…Good for Winston Justice.

I would venture to say there is no team that could lose to lineman the calibre of Peters and Kelsey and continue to play as well as before. Rosters need to be expanded and practice squads need to be expanded to develope player as needed. of course that would cut into profits so we will never see it.

The line is bad. But the coaches could help by calling faster developing plays. Vick could help himself by getting rid of the ball quicker.
You need to adjust to what you have.

I “thumbed up” this comment, but…

The plays have built in “quick reads”…they call many “fast developing” plays…

Vick can’t throw them…he’s too short, for one…he can’t see clearly over the LoS…he can’t throw screens…quick passes inevitabley get knocked down by DL’men…

Vick is hesitant to throw the short passing game…he needs a lane to throw in, and is more accurate the farther down field he throws the ball.

I want to see Foles play…I’d put Vick on the field at the same time RB/WR/QB…but allow Foles to take the snap.

Now that that is happening everyone wants to fidn some reason that he’s not the problem. Of course, it much be the O-line. Because it’s not like this outcome was predictable as soon as Vick became the QB…..

Can we bring John Runyun out of retirement?
