Who's Up and Who's Down after the Eagles game

To me we used screen's way too much. I love that we are getting back to the screen games more but we went with overkill. It was being read all night after the first quarter by them.

The OL as a unit is poor I hope we have an improvement too it soon it's where most of our issue's start on O. No run game no time to pass. Mankins and Vollmer will give instant change we need a RG if Waters doesn't return, maybe it can be cannon but we need to see him do it.

Stallworth seems bigger than I recall but also lost a step or 3 and thats all he really done.

Branch showed he can still run all the route's and use his moves to get open on the outside similar to what Welker does on the inside.

Ebert looked decent.

Ebner is certainly progressing since he was a ST only guy.

Mallet Vs Hoyer I am not sure who will win out that battle yet I think Hoyer has a slight edge right now. However long term I think Mallet will become the better QB.

Sterling Moore Looked ok nothing special but he has big play potential and was around the play lots of times beaten by one of the best WR on a deep play but most DB's would be. I am happy with him as DB 4. Moore kept jackson infront of him and was not beat deep as jackson get in a yard or 2 behind him.

The Eagle's also had a bunch of starters in in the 3rd quarter beat us by 10 and got TD of a muffed punt from a guy who will not be returning BB just wanted to test guys. and one TD from a short field due to poor OL so the loss is nowhere near as bad as people are trying to make out. If we don't improve OL I will be worried however when it has improved and we have starters in I think we will be very strong.

You couldnt guess why the screen was being called so much and followed it up with the answer. The eagles were pinning their ears back and wreaking havoc on our side of the line of scrimmage. Screens are a great way to keep a d honest, however they must be caught and blocked for.

A good OL is even more important in the screen game as they have to sell their initial block get off them and get out in front to block for the screen game. I never said I didn't know why just that I believed we done it too much and they key'd off on it. A well executed screen can be one of the best plays in football however they can also be losses if they go badly and lots of bad screen's is a lot of losses.
