The G Man 1,013 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Reading between the lines, I think Sanders really wanted the switch to Hurts made weeks ago. Whether he's just not a Carson Wentz fan, or he saw what we were all seeing (that Carson looked lost and needed to be benched) he seems energized with Hurts playing. I think they have a rapport already, and I think it only grows. Excited to see what he does today, but I'm not at all afraid of the match-up. My only concern is his usage or volume. But, after last week how can Pederson even think about deviating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sanders hasnt faced Isiah Simmons and Budda Baker this year, they are athletic enough to shoot the gaps faster than most people realize Let em shoot the gaps all they want. They still have to pick between tackling Hurts or Sanders on the read option. Saints whiffed one time and Sanders took it 70 yards to the house. That's the difference for the eagles rushing attack at this point. Edited December 20, 2020 by DerrickHenrysCleats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrfrood 662 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I am hoping for a 2017 Gurley-esque playoff run. Week 14 gave me some hopes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dont allow the long run today, and he is going to need a TD to be the RB1 we want 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gotamancrushontombrady 47 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hey @herschel, 3.8 ypc today and no homeruns. Still better than Lockett. #justsayin I hope your semi finals worked out. Sanders had an okay day, hopefully he didn’t kill any line ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreenMountainPhan 92 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Did I see 3 looks at the goal line, all same play? I also saw Huts get jumpy a few times when he could have dumped it off to Sanders. A lot of touches but very frustrating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cgu112 218 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 He had a nice 26 yd catch in the first quarter and they made zero effort to get him involved in the passing game after. Also had it 1st and 10 on the 11 game on the line and they didnt run once. Two hurts sacks later and ballgame. Pederson is an idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hurts is just slinging the ball, not looking for any easy throws at all. Doesn’t look like a QB that will be dumping it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GarrettHasTheClap 183 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I'm encouraged by the usage. Still had right under 100 all purpose. I cant see how you dont play him against Dallas. He basically had 100% of the rb touches. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sasnumberonefan 745 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Can’t be mad at 90 total yards. His usage against a somewhat tough opponent is encouraging, and if you lost your semifinal game I don’t think it was directly because of Sanders. If you advanced, you have to be licking your chops with Dallas on the slate next week. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjb 808 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Blowup spot.. Hurts makes this offense hum. He had several carries in close last game but unable to convert. 120/2 total yards/TDs wouldn’t surprise. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sasnumberonefan 745 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Love sanders as an offseason buy low in dynasty. New coach/new offense presumably catered to Jalen Hurts’ running ability should have his arrow pointing up big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Firing Ped. suggests they like Wentz (or know they are stuck with his contract). They'd need a QB whisperer to turn Wentz around. Consequently, expect Sanders to start slow. I agree he's a buy low, because he could blow up once they fix/move on from Wentz. Additionally, if Derek Henry can work on his pass catching, every reason to think Sander will be better in that area too. Value seems low with him missing week 17, firing ped., a lot of disfunction right now, but they have a ton of weapons. Fingers crossed they invest in O-line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You must feel so good about yourself. The point is that Pederson is trash and lucked out with a Super Bowl win. It is good that the Eagles did not care about this. Even prior to this Sudfield bs, Pederson was horrible. Wentz should have been benched early on. Wentz played like a poor mans Jameis Winston version 2019. I don't feel good about myself after seeing Pederson continue to use that flea Boston Scott over Sanders so much earlier in the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gotamancrushontombrady 47 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Sarinni (?) will be interesting. As a JT owner, Reich constantly blamed the OC and staff for taking JT out. A lot of volatility now with Eagles RBS, esp. Sanders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
