N/S Eagles defensive talent & coaching….. (6 Viewers)

[Outbackjack]

1. Are their players that much more talented than everyone else?
2. Are they that much better coached than everyone else?

All I know is Kellen was on the inside ……he surely knows what it takes.

We traded them cjgj, handed them jalen carter in the draft for pennings pick, and let baun leave here. They had help

They tackle well, that's for damn sure. Something we lack.

Talent wins. Yesterday's MVP should have been Howie Roseman.

Say what you will about Loomis, but he can still build a Superbowl winning roster.

Yes, they have a lot more talent than most. All three of their DT’s finished top ten in pass rush win rate among DT’s, and all four of their edge rushers were in the top 33 among edge rushers.

What’s ironic is just how much help Mickey Loomis gave them with all the pics and players they have from the Saints organization.

But yes, they’re just that talented and they’ve drafted as well as anybody has in the past five years.

We played that team very well week 3, and had McCoy not got hurt who knows how that game goes and that was with freaking DA as HC. It wasn’t the defense that failed that game so maybe Moore can work some magic at QB with Carr or whomever he chooses and if we get a decent DC who knows. Not saying SB but maybe respectable record for the team he will be given

This. They also invested heavily in their O and D lines. In the Super Bowl the Eagles DL destroyed the Chiefs OL. They pressured Mahomes rushing four, no blitzing. Forced him into game changing mistakes. The Eagles OL gave Hurts enough time to throw and they ran the ball enough to keep the Chiefs honest. Spagnuolo’s heavy blitzing was rendered useless.

You’re right, Mickey Loomis absolutely helped Howie Roseman build that dominant Eagles team. Stupid trades that the Eagles player personnel people absolutely nailed. Then the absolutely moronic decision to let Baum walk……Loomis should be forbidden from taking any phone call from Roseman indefinitely.

Fangio was the Saints' LBs coach under Mora, and was spectacular in that role. Now, he has turned Baun into one of the best LBs in the league. Baun benefits from probably the best D line in the league. It's a combo of the right DC and the right players.

The Eagle's scouting department an GM is above reproach. They know what they're doing.

I’m thinking the Chiefs lost because Elon cut off the REFS funding to “subsidize” their QB!

Don't read to much into it. The Eagles are a very good, sound team that don't make mistakes. They played solid football. But the Chiefs beat themselves more then the Eagles beat the Chiefs. I dunno how many of you recall Andy Reids time in Philly. But fans constantly grew annoyed with him because his game planning and play calling would drastically change in the playoffs and they would get knocked out. That happened last night.

For some odd reason, Reid really did NOT want to dink and dunk his passing offense. He kept calling vertical plays from the very beginning of the game and would not stop. This utterly fueled the Philly defensive line and they started pinning their ears back and dominating the Chiefs Oline. Reid should've changed to more of a west coast playcall. Instead he double downed on the vertical long plays. Look at this way, they weren't do any screens at all. As soon as they started doing screens in the 4th qtr they started moving the ball very, very well, but it was way to late in the game. And Philly wasn't even in a prevent yet.

I can honestly say it was one of the worst game planning and play callings I've ever seen from Andy Reid.

This highlights how important game planning and play calling are for an Oline to be successful. Chiefs have a good Oline. They're a little weak at left tackle, but that interior Oline has been the best in the NFL for a couple years now. Yet last night, they looked worse then ours. Play calling is more important then loading up a team of all-stars at every position.
