Allbright: Eagles OC Shane Steichen is the hottest HC candidate out there

Herbert looks like crap since he left LAC & now Hurts looks like gold in PHI.

To be fair, Chargers' OC is now Joe Lombardi. Dude made the Stafford and Megatron connection look like poo.

The Lions had the #1 defense that year. Ol' Joe is just Shula x10.

There’s no need to use hyperbole. Steichen is good, but Herbert “looks like crap” because he’s 

a) playing with broken ribs for almost the whole season (without missing any time)

b) had his #1 receiver play 3 quarters of football all season and his #3 receiver has played in 3 games.

c) lost his #2 receiver last month.

d) lost his pro bowl left tackle for the season in week 3

e) #1 TE is out in addition to the #2 TE

This of course doesn’t even touch how much their defense is banged up too. But yeah, If Shane was still there, none of that would matter?

 

 

Sounds almost as if football is a team game, and the talent and performance of your teammates matters.

Nah.

Can't be that.

Did not know he was going through a rib injury.  Knew he was banged up at the onset of the year but didn't know otherwise.  Thx for the context.  Still have to wonder the impact, the LAC offense has been struggling regardless.

I’d say a lot of that is talent around the QB.  

Kennan Allen and Mike Williams are hurt 

AJ Brown and DeVanta Smith have been healthy

Yeah Carter doesn't look that bad but Josh Palmer ain't the best dude in the WR department.  I'm not holding to some unwavering opinion but it's interesting to see how that team has changed.  Still, they have a healthy Ekeler and most of the OL in place.  Zion has been playing great and Salyer (R) has actually been holding up very well in place at LT.  Was a big part of that UGA line, remember wanting that dude in the mid rounds.  It's a mix but you know, why not get a bit hyperbolic to emphasize my preference 🙂

Very possible, and I'd have no problem with that whatsoever.

The one question I would have would be whether Reich's age (60) might be a factor for Tepper.

Wasn’t there talk about Tepper wanting someone with HC experience and offensively minded. I think Payton is his main choice but will have to settle for Reich

There was, then it changed. Latest word was that he finally got the memo that young offensive coaches are the thing right now.

That said, I think he could still go for Reich.

I think Payton might be off the table but I doubt anyone will believe it.

What is Reichs general coaching style viewed as? Aggressive/Conservative? I see that he's a major Jesus freak but not much on x's and o's stuff

I don't know much about him but is Jalen Hurts pretty good? I know he struggled and took his lumps his first year like any QB would but I'm guessing the guy is pretty decent now? If so that's one heck of a pick up as I know he wasn't some number one or number two overall pick like so many here feel we must have in order to get a successful franchise QB of the future.

Hurts is playing well. Like fields he showed flashes early but got the typical “he can’t pass and is just a running qb bs” that so many try people try to pigeonhole qbs like him as. Luckily the eagles didn’t listen to people that thought the team should move on, and instead built around him. They trade for AJ Brown, draft Devonta Smith and put a staff around him that built around his strengths and what do you know, he can actually play.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
