It's a shame it took a Foles injury

[slag]

I'm not sure at what point he was told it, but Kelly indicated that some players told him at some point in the game (I assume in the late 3d or 4th q) that they thought Houston was wearing down ... the context of the statement indicated that it was part of why he ran as much as he did.

Have you watched more than one game in your life?

That's how it typically goes. You wear down a defense and the running game shows dividends later in the game. Kelly stuck with it this time.


But I guess having a Pro Bowl quality center return had nothing to do with it.

For Chip to balance the play calling. Foles had the ball in his hand entirely too long and too often this year. Polk started getting more touches and the whole attack was more balanced.

Also, the team looked crisp rallying around The Chez. I'm optimistic offensively right now

You crack me up! Honestly you do.

For whatever reason, the Eagles ran the ball much more when Sanchez was in the game. And it wasn't just to run out the clock.

How mad are you that Klob never panned out? Salty I'm sure. It's nice to see you reinvent yourself after that. I'm nearly 100% confident that you're the board sex offender

I definitely felt a subtle change of gameplan with Sanchez right away. I think time will show a more balanced attack.

Last few weeks I found myself yelling "run the ball chip" which brought me back to flashbacks of "RUN THE BALL YOU FAT FUCK"

OK slag.

I said they ran significantly more with Sanchez in. You asked about the 4th quarter. I showed it was evenly more the entire time Sanchez was in.

I didn't say Kelly was talking about running out the clock but they didn't just run the ball late in the game.

Sanchez isn't the only reason for this but the offense was cleary called/run differently with him in.

I wonder if it was to help sanchez since its been a while for him to play.

Possibly, although his first play was a bomb. It'll be interesting to see how the offense is run now. And if defenses still stack the box.

Well...I guess it will help answer the desean question.

Sad thing is...I expect sanchez to play like foles this year... as that is what his career has been so far.

Ive seen jeff garcia's name thrown around. Only difference is that he was a probowler...sanchez up and down.

Hoping he plays well...because it would be so nice to get a steal

It may also have had to do with Herremans leaving the game.

[slag]

Why would anything change on how defenses play the Eagles?

Dont know. Have read that opinion on this board since sanchez is going to be the qb so I'm interested to see of that's the case.

[Loki]

or the Eagles not being behind in the game.
