It doesn't help that

Other than Maclin the receiving corps is very, very average.

Chip's getting a lesson in that in the NFL your system is nothing if you don't have the players.

I have to admit, I was very high on both Matthews and Huff.


Matthews is showing some LJ Smith "YAC" tendencies and Huff has been awful.


Maclin is certainly playing the best ball of his career, but Riley should be a special teamer and 4th WR.

Coop's finding out its a lot easier to play WR when you have a receiver on the other side and a running game both keeping the safeties occupied.

Let's call a spade a spade -- Coop's a turd.

Huff's played 2 games.

I'm not the biggest Maclin fan but he has done ok this season, IMO. Nothing really spectacular but he is definitely the best they have.

It would have been really nice to see how Kelly's system would have worked with Maclin, Desean Jackson, McCoy, a second year Ertz and Celek available to be on the field at the same time.

Would it be impolite to point out it took one half of football for LJ Smith to conclusively demonstrate what the Eagles were getting in him?

McShovelhands demonstrated it in his first preseason.

[slag]

Yeah ... but Rutgers was involved.

Huff's played 2 games.

I know I know Slag, we need a body of 10 years before we can pass judgement on ANY player.


That's part of the problem, Huff can't get on the field. Got hurt then when he recovered, clearly Chip did not think he did enough to work into the rotation.

[slag]

What?

He was in the first game they played after he got back on the practice field.

[91EaglesD]

No he wasn't. Was a healthy scratch for rams game and was even featured in articles saying he wasn't sure why he wasn't playing.

You're not always right you know. And that's ok

And here's your link before you ask, knowing you well..

Ok ... he was a scratch for one game.

So what?

[91EaglesD]

Come on man I don't want to go around in circles. I made my point pretty clear earlier. He is clearly behind in chips eyes or he would see field more

[slag]

Are you serious?

They guy is a third round rookie receiver and is seeing more time every game.

He's the starter on kick return.

This shit is unbelievable.

Every play has to work ... every player has to be an immediate starter or pro bowl player.

Give me a fucking break.

[91EaglesD]

Take it easy there fella. I'm not writing him off I'm merely saying he hasn't progressed to where I would have hoped. Stop putting words in my mouth. I won't give him a slag worthy grade until he plays out his rookie contract
