How can Philadelphia Eagles fix ‘shocking’ offensive struggles? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

MAKE QUICK DECISIONS, COMMIT TO THE THROW, MAKE THE THROW AND THAT’S JUST NOT HAPPENING. HERE’S ANOTHER WRINKLE. YOU MENTIONED, THEY WERE WINNING GAMES WHEN THE OFFENSE WASN’T PERFORMING WELL, AND THAT WAS THE GIST OF WHAT AJ BRAUN SAID, AFTER THE SLUGGISH WIN OVER THE GREEN BAY, PACKERS 10 TO 7 ON THE MONDAY NIGHT THAT WAS THE TUESDAY NIGHT, JANKY, RONDO, TWITCH STREAM APPEARANCE. I THINK AGAIN, I THINK THOSE ARE ALL THE WORDS AND I THINK THEY’RE IN THE RIGHT ORDER WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT DROPPING AJ BROWN FROM YOUR FANTASY TEAM. IF I’M ON IT, GET RID OF ME THAT LED TO THE WEDNESDAY SESSION WHERE I THOUGHT HE WAS BEING VERY INSIGHTFUL INTO WHAT’S GOING ON. I’M WITH YOU. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU WIN, IF YOU’RE NOT GETTING BETTER, IF YOU’RE NOT GETTING BETTER, WE GOT TO BE GETTING BETTER OR WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE THE MOST IMPORTANT. BUT JAYLEN HERTZ HAS TO BE SAYING TO SOMEONE. NOW, LET’S LOOK AT THE LAST 3 GAMES. AJ BROWN, 110 YARDS, WE LOST 132 YARDS, WE LOST 100 YARDS, WE LOST. SO THAT’S THE IRONY HERE. AJ BROWN HAS BEEN REINSERTED INTO THE OFFENSE WITH HIS FIRST 3 STRAIGHT HUNDRED YARD PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON. HE DIDN’T HAVE BACK-TO-BACK BEFORE THE LAST 3 GAMES, AND THEY’VE LOST ALL 3 OF THEM. NOW, I THINK THAT’S OVERLY SIMPLIFYING IT. YEAH, BUT FROM HERZ PERSPECTIVE, AT SOME LEVEL, HE’S GOT TO BE THINKING, HEY WE’RE FINALLY GETTING AJ BROWN. THE THE BALL TO HIS SATISFACTION AND WE’RE NOT WINNING GAMES WHEN WE WEREN’T GETTING THE BALL TO HIM. WE WERE WINNING GAMES. I DON’T THINK THEY LOGICALLY FOLLOW, RIGHT? BUT I, I’D LIKE TO THINK AT SOME LEVEL HERTZ IS LOOKING AT THAT SAYING SOMETHING’S WRONG HERE. IT WAS BETTER WHEN WE WERE WINNING. AND AJ BROWN WASN’T GETTING TRIPLE DIGITS. YEAH, WELL, I, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I THINK THAT’S WHERE THE REST OF THE TEAM WAS PLAYING AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HIDE SOME OF THOSE DEFICIENCIES EARLY ON IN THE FOOTBALL YEAR. NOW AGAIN WITH WHAT WE’RE SEEING AND WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY IS, YEAH. OKAY. GREAT. THAT, YOU KNOW 100 YARDS BUT IT’S IT’S WHAT IS THERE TO BE HAD, RIGHT? THAT’S THE CONVERSATION. AND AS I’VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, AND ANYBODY WILL TELL YOU THEY THEY GET SOME OF THE GREATEST LOOKS IN THE HISTORY OF QUARTERBACK PLAY, BECAUSE EVERYBODY’S SO WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STEAMROLLED IN THE RUN GAME AND EVERYTHING THEY DO. SO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT GAMES AND GO, YEAH, HE HAD A 100 YARDS. I SIT THERE AND GO, HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE HAD 170 180 AND DEVONTE SMITH PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER 120 AGAIN IF DEFENSES IF MAHOMES OR JOSH ALLEN OR LAMAR JACKSON OR JOE BURROW WERE QUARTERBACK OF THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES THEY’D BE LIKE OH MY GOSH THESE I’M THEY’RE PLAYING THIS DEFENSE WITH AGAINST ME WITH THESE RECEIVERS. HOLY CRAP. WE’RE NEVER GOING TO LOSE. WE’RE GOING TO WIN EVERY GAME. I’M GOING TO THROW FOR 500 YARDS EVERY GAME. SO THAT’S WHERE WE’RE MISSING THE BALL A LITTLE BIT HERE AND THAT CONVERSATION. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, YES, NOT PLAYING WELL IN THE POCKET MAKING THE RIGHT THROWS. CERTAINLY NOT MAKING THE RIGHT READS. HAVE TO QUESTION WHAT HE’S LOOKING AT. SOMETIMES I BROKEN THIS STUFF DOWN ON MY PODCAST. AS YOU KNOW, I SHOW PEOPLE SCREENSHOTS AND GO HEY LOOK I KNOW THIS PLAY JON GRUDEN TAUGHT ME, THIS PLAY I DON’T KNOW WHY. HE LOOKS THROW IT, AND THEN IT’S LIKE, HEY THERE’S THE SECOND READ OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, HE’S WIDE OPEN. I I I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S LOOKING AT BUT HE DIDN’T THROW IT. SO THE GUYS ARE WATCHING FILM LIKE THAT FIRST OFF GOING WANT TO PULL THEIR HAIR OUT, AND GO CRAZY THAT WAY. AND THEN THE OTHER THING I GET ON TOP OF THAT FROM EVERYBODY WHO PODCASTS RADIO, I GO ON THEY GO, WELL, MAYBE THEY NEED TO BE MORE CREATIVE AND AS YOU’VE HEARD ME JOKE BEFORE, JEFFREY LURIE HAVE I DON’T KNOW WHY HE LOOKS NICK SERIANI BECAUSE HE’S 7. WE’LL WE’LL HIRE YOU. THAT’S AMAZING 7. IF YOU GO UP TO 8 I’LL GIVE YOU A RAISE. NO, I MEAN THAT BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THEY’RE AT. SO THE QUARTERBACK IS HOLDING BACK. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OFFENSE. I KNOW THIS EVERYBODY IN PHILLY THAT’S AROUND THE TEAM KNOWS THIS. HE DOESN’T WANT THEM TO ADD MORE OFFENSE. HE DOESN’T LIKE WHEN THEY GO UNDER THE CENTER AND HE’S SITTING POSITION. SO THEY’RE LIMITED BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO CERTAIN THINGS AND THEN I HEAR PEOPLE GO. WELL, WHY AREN’T THEY MORE CREATIVE? WELL, YOU KNOW, CREATIVE. CREATIVE COMES WITH COMPLEXITY AND CREATIVITY AND PACKAGING PLAYS TOGETHER AND DOING THINGS LIKE THAT, RIGHT? TOM BRADY WAS CREATIVE WITH NEW ENGLAND BECAUSE THEY HAD A COOL PLAY AND THAT IF THEY DIDN’T LIKE IT HE CHECKED CHECKED OUT OF IT AND THEY SAID OH THAT DEFENSE IS HERE. WE’RE GOING TO CHECK TO ANOTHER PLAY AND SCREW YOU OVER THAT WAY. THE EAGLES GO. YEAH, WE GOT CREATIVE PLAYS BUT LIKE OUR BASIC PLAYS, WE DON’T EXECUTE RIGHT. SO WHY WOULD WE GO TO THESE OTHER PLAYS THAT HAVE A LOT MORE MOVING PARTS AND MOTIONS AND CHECKS. AND WE CAN’T DO THAT IF WE CAN’T DO 2 PLUS 2, WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THE SQUARE ROOT OF 764 THAT WE CAN’T DO THAT. WE CAN’T GET 2 PLUS 2 RIGHT? AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE MISSING TOO, ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION, AND I GET, OF COURSE, THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR GETS BLAMED, EVERYBODY ELSE GETS BLAMED, AND I THINK THAT’S WHY AJ BROWN TALKED A FEW WEEKS AGO, BECAUSE HE ENOUGH HAD ENOUGH. EVERYBODY HERE IS GETTING BLAMED EXCEPT THE GUY THAT DESERVED TO BE BLAMED AND I THINK THAT’S WHERE THAT CAME FROM AND THAT’S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND WE’LL SEE IF JAYLEN HERTZ CAN FIX. THIS IS UH THE LAST FEW GAMES. AND I HAVE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK IN RECENT DAYS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I’M THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THINGS YOU SAID AND I KNOW, I KNOW IT’S A 2-WAY STREET. I KNOW PEOPLE COMPLAIN TO YOU ABOUT ME SO I’M NOT THE ONLY 1 BUT I’M GETTING FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE SAYING HEY YOU KNOW WHAT THEY’RE THEY’RE CHRIS WAS RIGHT? I’M GETTING MORE THAN THAT. ALSO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN. RIGHT? RIGHT. GO AHEAD. YEAH. THEN THIS, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE SEEN THIS, BUT I’VE ALSO GOTTEN THE FEEDBACK THAT IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT THAT YOU SPOKE IT INTO EXISTENCE. HE REALLY WASN’T AN ISSUE UNTIL YOU STARTED JOE TO SPEAK IT INTO AN ISSUE. YEAH YEAH I’M AN IDIOT AND I’M A JOKE BUT NOW I I’M I’M THAT POWERFUL AND GOOD. THAT I’VE SPOKEN INTO IT, SOMETHING IN EXISTENCE I I DO THINK FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I I I’VE JOKED ABOUT THAT IT DOES FEEL LIKE THE AND EVEN IN MY INSTAGRAM MENTIONS AND STUFF WHERE YEAH, A LITTLE TURNING OF THE FINALLY STARTING. TO GO. YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE THE QUARTERBACK IS, THE PROBLEM HERE TO A DEGREE AND WE’LL SEE WHERE IT GOES AGAIN. I GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FOR A LOT OF THINGS HE’S DONE AND DOES AND THE WAY HE HANDLES THEMSELVES ON A LOT IN A LOT OF WAYS BUT THE WAY HE’S PLAYING AT THE POSITION IN THE POCKET MAKING THROWS DECISIONS, LEADING HIS TEAM, DOING ALL THAT RIGHT NOW. YES, IT’S IT’S, IT’S LESS THAN IT’S, IT’S BELOW AVERAGE RIGHT NOW AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE SEEING THE ALL-STAR TEAM OF THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES FLOUNDER HERE. THEY’RE 4 AND 5, AND THEIR LAST 9 GAMES, THAT THAT’S PRETTY SHOCKING. WHEN YOU SAY THAT OUT BY THE WAY, I HAD A SLEEP DEPRIVATION. YOU ON THERE. IT WAS SPONTANEOUS, IT WAS NOT A REFLECTION OF LACK OF INTEREST IN WHAT CHRIS WAS SAYING. I’M SURE SOMEBODY’S GOING TO SAY, WHY ARE YOU YAWNING WHEN CHRIS IS SPEAKING, WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPING 4 OR 5 HOURS A NIGHT AS OPPOSED TO THE PREFERRED 67, YOU END UP YAWNING FROM TIME TO TIME. IT’S ALL RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY. WE MENTIONED EARLIER, THE MIXER ONI COMMENTS. I HAVE NOT HEARD THEM WITH MY OWN 2 EARS. MANY OF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THEM EITHER. LET’S GO AHEAD AND PLAY WHAT HE HAD TO SAY YESTERDAY, JUST SO WE CAN ASSESS AND LISTEN AND MAYBE THERE’S SOMETHING RESIDING THERE THAT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE INSIGHT. HE WAS ON 94. WIP SPORTS RADIO ASKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BENCHING HURTS. IF HIS STRUGGLES CONTINUE, HERE’S HIS RESPONSE. NO, I THINK THAT’S RIDICULOUS. YOU KNOW, I THINK, YOU KNOW, JAYLEN HURTS I KNOW EVERY TIME I GO OUT IN THAT FIELD, UM, WOULD JAYLEN HERZ AS OUR QUARTERBACK. UM, WE HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THE GAME. UM, AND THAT’S, YOU KNOW, THAT’S, THAT’S SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN PROVEN. UM, YOU KNOW, WE’VE WON A LOT, A LOT OF FOOTBALL GAMES AND AGAIN, WE DON’T WE DON’T EVER GO INTO SOMETHING AND ASSIGN. THIS IS A TEAM UM YOU KNOW, THIS IS A THE MOST ULTIMATE TEAM GAME SO WHEN YOU WITH, YOU KNOW YOU WIN TOGETHER AS A TEAM YOU LOSE TOGETHER AS A TEAM, IT’S NEVER JUST 1 THING. AND WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. CHRIS, AS YOU SAID EARLIER, WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONTRACT AND TO USE YOUR YOUR PRONUNCIATION OF THE WORD. HE HAS THEM BY THE KAHUNAS, UH, NOT THE CAJONS, THE KAHUNAS, BUT HE DOES. AND AND THAT THAT IS THE UNDERPINNING OF EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON. IT GOES BACK TO THE DEREK GUN REPORTING. HE HAS THEM IN A SPOT WHERE HE CAN HE CAN FREELANCE AND THAT THAT ISSUE OF FREELANCING IS BEEN GURGLING AROUND FOR A WHILE. REMEMBER THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME AGAINST THE SEAHAWKS? WERE YOU SUSPECTED? THEY FREELANCED ON A PLAY LIKE LIKE HE’S NOT RUNNING THE OFFENSE THE WAY THAT THEY RUN AND YOU’RE RIGHT. KEVIN PATULLO IS THE 1 IN HIS HOUSE EGG. NOW, WE’RE NOT SAYING GO EGG, JAYLEN HERTZ’S HOUSE. WE’RE SAYING THE WRONG PEOPLE. MAYBE ARE GETTING BLAMED AND A 5 TURNOVER PERFORMANCE. IS THE KIND OF THING THAT SHINES A LIGHT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GUY WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD GOTTEN A PASS AND NOW THERE’S GOING TO BE MORE PRESSURE ON HIM THAN EVER BEFORE ON TIME. THEY PROBABLY WISH THEY WEREN’T PLAYING AT HOME ON SUNDAY, IF I WAS PLAYING ON THE EAGLES, IF I WAS 1 OF THE COACHES, IF I WAS ANYBODY CONNECTED TO THAT HAD A ROAD GAME THIS WEEK. I REALLY DON’T, I REALLY DON’T WANT TO GO HOME AFTER WHAT WE DID MONDAY NIGHT AND FACE THOSE FANS. YEAH, WELL, THEY’RE THEY’RE THEY’RE PRESSURE THAT THAT’S FOR SURE. AND, YOU KNOW, WE SHOWED THAT GRAPHIC WITH THE STATS THERE AND ALL OF THAT, YOU KNOW? AND AGAIN YOU LOOK AT IT AND AND AT LEAST LIKE THE BEARS GAME AND THE COWBOYS GAME, THE STATS AREN’T THAT BAD BUT YOU GOT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHERE IT’S LIKE, NO NO, NOTHING’S RESULTING IN AND TOUCHDOWNS AND POINTS. NOW, WE’RE NOT GETTING THERE. SO, WE’RE GETTING 1 PLAY. AND THEN WE’RE KIND 30 YARD PLAY, AND THEN A DRIVE STALLS OUT, AND GOT. A PUNT OR WHATEVER. THERE’S JUST NOT ENOUGH SUSTAINED DRIVING FROM THEM, YOU REALLY LOOK AT THEM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND THIS IS WHERE THEIR DEFENSE HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. IT’S EITHER 3 AND OUT, OR THEY GO ON LIKE A 4 PLAY, 80 YARD DRIVE BECAUSE THEY MADE SOME BIG PLAYS REAL QUICK AND IT’S LIKE, OH HERE COME THE EAGLES RIGHT NOW. NICK SERION. HE’S NOT GOING TO PANIC RIGHT NOW. HE’S NOT GOING TO PANIC BECAUSE 1 HE KNOWS THIS IS THEIR QUARTERBACK. THEY’RE STUCK WITH THAT 2. LIKE YOU SAID, HE KNOWS WE THEY WON A LOT OF GAMES. THEY WON A LOT OF THAT. OKAY, TO A DEGREE IS WHAT HE IS AT THIS POINT. I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE HIM BUT ALSO WITHIN THAT THEY’VE KIND OF EMBRACED THAT STYLE AND TRIED TO WORK AROUND HIM A LITTLE BIT, THAT’S WHAT THEY’VE DONE. THEY’VE WORKED AROUND HIM TO WHERE THEY’RE SO GOOD AS YOU. I ALWAYS SAY THAT THE PASSING GAME DOESN’T NEED TO BE STELLAR. WE SAID THIS FOR A BUNCH OF WEEKS DURING THE YEAR AS LONG AS HE JUST DOESN’T MAKE A MISTAKE, THEY ALMOST CAN BEAT ANYBODY THEY CAN. OH, OH, HE WAS 14 FOR 25 FOR 110 YARDS. OH, WELL, AS LONG AS HE DOESN’T TURN OVER, TURN IT OVER, THEY’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN. NOW, IS THAT SUSTAINABLE TO GO TO THE SUPER BOWL THAT WAY ALL THE WAY? NO, THAT’S REALLY HARD. THAT’S WHAT’S MAKING LIFE HARD ON THEM AND WE’RE SEEING HERE WHEN THEY PLAY SOME GOOD TEAMS KNOW, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE RIGHT NOW. THEY GOT TO EASY END OF THE SCHEDULE OFFENSE IN THE PASS GAME. GREASED UP AND REALLY GET GOING TO MAYBE WHERE THEY CAN MAKE A LITTLE RUN. LIKE WE SAW LAST YEAR WHEN HE GOT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, THE SUPER BOWL THE PASS GAME, IT WAS WAS EXECUTING AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL AND THAT WAS THE BEST THEY LOOKED. BUT LET’S NOT FORGET THE DIVISIONAL GAME. WE WERE THERE AGAINST THE RAMS PASS GAME. WAS HORRIBLE, WILD CARD GAME AGAINST THE PACKERS BEFORE THAT HORRIBLE A BUNCH OF WEEKS BEFORE THAT IN THE REGULAR SEASON HORRIBLE. SO, THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO HOPE FOR. THEY’RE GOING TO HOPE. THEY THEY DID IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND AND THINGS GET BETTER FROM THERE. AND IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THIS, THEY GOT THE RAIDERS, THE COMMANDERS, THE BILLS AND THE COMMANDERS. IF THEY LOSE TO THE BILLS THEY HAVE TO OTHERWISE GO 3 AND 0 ASSUMING THE COWBOYS CAN RUN THE TABLE AND THEY CAN THEY CAN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEIR SCHEDULE, THEY THEY CAN. THE CHARGERS GAME IS PROBABLY THE TOUGHEST SPOT FOR THEM BUT IF THEY GO 2 AND 2, IF THE EAGLES GO 2 AND 2 AND THE COWBOYS GO 4-0 THE COWBOYS WIN THE DIVISION. THAT’S WHY I WAS SAYING LAST WEEK, I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PERCENTAGES. IT’S IT’S A PLAUSIBLE PATH. THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND. WELL, A LOT OF THESE OTHER, HAS TO HAPPEN. IT’S VERY SIMPLE FOR THE COWBOYS AND FOR THE EAGLES AND THE EAGLES, THE EAGLES NEED TO, THEY NEED TO AVOID LOSING TO THE RAIDERS, THE COMMANDERS OR THE COMMANDERS AGAIN, ASSUMING
