Eagles up 17 on Rams (Playoff implication)

He's a rookie coach...just like with a rookie player you have to let him make mistakes and learn from them.

 

As I've said before, we will live and die with Nagy's tricksiness and gambling. We've made it to 10-4, and yes, I do think his playcalling has cost us but you take all of that with everything else he brings to the table. Of course I might be singing a different tune if some cutesy play call goes awry and costs us a playoff game.

 

I was reading up on him the other day but I didn't get the answers I was looking for. Is he a very experienced coach? Or is he experienced in different facets of the game? I know that he coached some schools and that he played himself but what is this experience as a head coach? Could his cute and tricky plays be a result of just not having the experience of knowing when these plays will be successful?

 

Well damn it. I should have read up before I replied to blang's post!

 

His play calling is really good at times and head scratching at others.

The motions and things definitely work on defenses. But pulling Howard when he's running well is something I can't forgive. His continued use of Mizzell is frustrating. And some, not all, of the cutesy shit is just dumb. There's a time and place for some of that stuff. There's also a time and place to put that stuff in your back pocket and just go right at a defense instead.

I do worry some calls like that could change the tide of the playoff game.

 

I don't think so. I think it's who he is as a coach. He is inexperienced, which I think we can see with in-game management (end of first half of Giants game), but even if he had been coaching for 30 years I think his playcalling would be the same.

 

That answers a lot. Thanks blang.

Okay this is going to sound super dumb of me (especially in light of how tuna and dline have been praising their girlfriend's football knowledge) but is there anything written into the players' contracts that says they MUST play X number of minutes per game?

 

No.

 

Thanks.

Bww.

Man of few words ...

On the upside at least you didn't insult me.

 

Haven't finished my coffee yet so you got lucky.

 

Phew.

 

...and probably even fewer braincells

I finished for you baby but you really shouldn't talk about BWW like that unless you want to test out your arsenal.
In my office now!

 

There are a lot of them. They are just soaked in bourbon. I'm preserving them that way.

 

Ahhhh yes Bourbon, formaldehyde for the brain.

Baby in my office now shame on you.
Picking on such a wonderful gentleman with the bourbon soaked brain.

 

Okay okay already. I'm in your office but there's nothing going on ... again.

You guys with your big threats. You got nuthin' ya hear? NUTHIN'!!!

 

I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
