Honestly the person who needs the ball more on offense is Laviska. Just like the last coaching staff he gets 1-2 plays in the first quarter and is never heard from again. Pretty crazy since it seems like he gets at least a 1st down every time he touches the ball

I get it to an extent. He's so niche in his role, that I think he's limited in how many plays he can successfully execute. But, I also realize that we have WR's who are useless when they line up. So who knows what the best option is... the coaching staff clearly hasn't figured it out.

That's true to a point. How niche is Taysom Hill? The Saints rode him to victory against us. I get Laviska isn't a threat to pass the ball but if he's killing it out of the backfield why not keep giving him the ball? He also doesn't get an opportunity to run many routes at all and he's probably our most explosive player. It's just weird he doesn't get more play time throughout the game

Never thought I would ask this question, but with our sorry running game...maybe it's time.

Sanders was a product of an eagles team with a great Oline and good overall offense. What rose colored glasses Fitts was wearing when he signed him, I don't know. 

They may be looking at the $$$ spent to sign Sanders. It wouldn't be the first time they pissed $$$ away. I am not crazy about Chuba, but he gets the job done at five yards (+/-) a carry, can't catch a cold unfortunately.

Sanders hasn't done much either rushing or catching out the backfield so far. Is it the play calling or sh*tty line play, who knows.

Regardless, Chuba needs more carries and use Sanders out the backfield In certain situations.

Bryce needs a running game.....period.

Hold my beer!! Can we focus for a sec,  you are definitely correct on the RBs!!! We suck we need a power back!! We got duped on Sanders!! My coworker was glad to get rid of him on the Eagles fandom

Hubbard shows a bit more burst to the line and you can probably run stretch plays with him more effectively than Miles.  Although neither are pure in the receiving department so there's a redundancy.

Similar to the WR crew with certain fundamentals down but severely lacking a quick slot guy or reliable deep threat. 

We're missing two critical pieces most modern offenses should have:

RB with receiving skills

A Shifty XYZ receiver

We decided to sign Miles and draft Mingo with those needs, which was in retrospect starting to seem kind of shortsighted. 

Guys like Tyjae Spears, Marvin Mims, Tank Dell, or Tyler Scott would have been in a good place here to make an impact.   
 

Welcome to the reality that our drafting/evaluation has been sub par.

I have a feeling Foreman may have played himself a bit in the whole situation as well. He's a healthy scratch for the Bears at RB behind herbert and a rookie right now, so it's not like he's lighting the world up elsewhere.

For whatever it’s worth Foreman played behind a healthy offensive line too.

      They also didn't mind it last year during four nations, or when they beat the fins lol. Sour grapes, they had 3 pf the top four players in the world on the ice when we beat them.

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him.  He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire   As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula.  If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
