Yeah, that second one is especially beautiful with that great hole at the LOS and Steele turning and sealing off his guy. Textbook.

this oline is playing at a very high level, and with a rookie LT.

It was very nice. It was the Bears, but still nice to see.

I am not impressed with Zac Taylor. The gameplan with no Chase was ignorant.

If he can just anchor the line versus philly’s short yardage Qb sneak nonsense I’ll be thrilled.

The Eagles have a legit running game that isn’t just about inside runs.

True but we didn’t lose that game solely because of the run game. They didn’t even crack 300 yards of offense.

I was talking in general, not just that game.

Parson's just needed to play smarter in that game. They honestly did a good job of using his aggressiveness to take him out of the play. Go at him, if he picks player A give the ball to player B. If he picks player B, player A keeps the ball. It was so basic but smart in a way because you're neutralizing our best player.
Of course once their OT went out with an injury Parsons suddenly looked a whole lot better.

dont worry, Parsons will see the same approach again soon. Lets see how he adjusts, then how the Eagles adjust.

With the production from these young TEs I don't think I'd invest any additional resources at the position in the off-season.
Roll with Ferguson, Hendershot and McKeon.

Where in the hell has this narrative that our young TEs are tearing it up come from? Hendershot has 9 catches for 85 yards and a TD. Ferguson has 9 catches for 68 yards and 2 TDs. McKeon has 1 catch for 10 yards. COMBINED, these guys have 19 catches for 163 yards and 3 TDs.
Schultz even with being injured and missing time has 20 catches for 205 yards. Last year after 8 games he had 40 catches for 382 yards and 5 TDs. And wasn't the starter.
I like them just as much as the next guy, but God damn. This shit is getting comical.

Bro. Who said anything about tearing it up? They (moreso Hendershot and Ferguson) have shown some solid ability at a non-premium position (a position that isn't worth making a big financial/draft capital investment at, short of an elite Kelce/Kittle type). They are all showing to be really good run blockers and Hendershot and Ferguson have flashed as decent safety nets (which is pretty much all Schultz has been, if we're honest.) in the passing game in spite of limited opportunities.
Beyond that, this is now a run-first team again so their abilities as blockers has enhanced value.
Can save 10-12 million per year by letting Schultz walk, roll with the young TEs, and put some of the savings towards re-signing a guy like Diggs and maintaining a strong defense.
