proehl on philly

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview · 1m1 minute ago

Proehl before Avant news, on Philly: “I’m still trying to figure out why he wasn't drafted … does similar things Ginn did for us last year.”

 

Something something Ohio State, Norwell, blah blah blah

How about figuring out why, when he actually is a deep threat, the team has tried forcing Jason Avant and Jerricho Cotchery into that role instead of using a guy who was actually suited for it?

 

Philly came in and showed in week two what he was capable of.  How did the coaches respond?  By sitting him back down and throwing deep balls to possession and red zone receivers.

 

My word, the coaching on this team is awful.

He's decent but I wouldn't compare him to Ginn. Philly also catches every ball with his chest. He needs to learn how to get out of the punt returner mode and learn how to catch with his hands

That's a horrible gripe. You try catching a 50 years bomb in your hands while falling.

Why were we playing avant and catch over brown? Simple, Rivera seems to believe in the fact you play who you pay, and more money is being spent on avant than philly. Show me an instance on the roster where a backup is making more than a starter who isn't on a rookie contract. That's why it took forever for them to cut Godfrey, why Cason was given a pass while white got benched, why Harper continues blocking cole and boston, and why brown was buried on the depth chart with avant and cotchery shitting the bed. This infuriates me, in fact, this was why I became a panthers fan when the saints did the same fuging thing to jake with Aaron brooks stinking up the starting qb spot. Our depth chart is based on bank account and not talent.

This needs more attention.

    • Down to Carolina and Washington for Ehlers. 
    • Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
    • Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
