He isn't re-inventing the wheel but he is forcing the passing game to be quick and efficient. Get the ball out fast and let your playmakers make plays. I don't guess that that approach is tenable but I'm perfectly happy to have them use it until it doesn't work. by elmendorf 4 years 7 months ago Total posts: 215 Joined: Apr 29 2016 Pennsylvania Rookie Goff POST #362 That's a great point.

I took what the TV commentators said to heart instead of evaluating the play myself. I'm really hoping this game puts JG on the right track for the rest of the season. And I'm in the greater Philly area, so I get to compare notes with the Iggles fans in re Wentz. Wow, glad we didn't draft him.So am I!!! A few clicks outside the northeast. Ain't it a fun time right now? Yeah, when I was watching the game and BOTH guys said, "man he missed a wide open Cooper Kupp", I thought "SHIT!!!". But after seeing the replay, I thought "tough crowd!! But man you guys just started a thread on RFU tonight!!!" Yeah the replay showed when he moved up in the pocket, Kupp hadn't cleared yet and as he started to throw, then Kupp was breaking free of his defender. He could have attempted to hold the ball but he either would have fumbled or been sacked. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.
