You know, when the team has been healthy

[RSE]

The Eagles have a very high functioning offense every season since 2010.

That makes going on six years of shit defenses. I'm getting tired of that.

[Ellsworth]

Just need better technique. Problem solved!

[Mr. Triple Dip]

I don't think Billy Davis is the guy to right the ship either.

No. He. Is. Not.

Michael Irvin, interviewed on WFAN earlier today, was astonished at the lack of help Maxwell got on Jones, for what that's worth.

[McCarthy12]

I don't necessarily blame Davis for seeing if Maxwell could reasonably cover him one-on-one at first. But to never adjust? Shows that Davis hasn't adjusted from last year when he kept making that same mistake.

[slag]

He played single high safety against a team with a mediocre RB and one of the best receivers in the damn league.

Is he adjusting his approach to what the other team's personnel is? I don't think so.

Did you see that WTF? shit about how Maxwell was fine and only needs to adjust his technique?

Technique in what?

Engaging his magic bionic switch so he can run with Julio Jones?

[McCarthy12]

I didn't see that. Davis scares the crap out of me. I know they are a little thin at corner/safety, but there is talent on this defense. Front 7 is pretty legit. There's no excuse to have a garbage defense this year. It's not the players.

I think that was Kelly who said that he just has to correct his Technique. Kelly the gm is worrying me.

[Mr. Triple Dip]

I seem to recall during the Jim Johnson days he did a great job at neutralizing elite receivers. I know passing has changed since then but cmon.

Wasn't their point of emphasis this season not to give up as many "X plays"? Off to a bad start on that one.

[slag]

The conclusion was reached after reviewing the film in conjunction, and after discussion, with Davis (I think I heard/read somewhere)

[McCarthy12]

Eh, I'm not worried about that just yet. I'm not going to label Maxwell a bum after one game. Kiko and Thurmond each had INT's. Demarco didn't do a whole lot but he did score two TD's. Matthews had that one drop but otherwise played well. Waaaay to early in the season to judge, but, for the most part the guys he picked up contributed.

[slag]

BTW - In his defense, they did shut Jones down in the second half ... except after they took the lead and he burned Maxwell for 40 yds to set up the go ahead FG.

So we can hope he's better than we think ... but I'm not real warm and fuzzy.
