NFL Week 13 Open Thread

PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOVEMBER 27:  A cheerleader for the Philadelphia Eagles performs against the New England Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field on November 27, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

It's week 13 in the NFL and weirdly, the Eagles have already played. It's part of the reason I'm not a big fan of Thursday Night football. It really doesn't even feel like it's part of the current week. But either way, we'll just try to forget Thursday ever happened....

There are some interesting games on the NFL schedule this week. The Bears host the Chiefs today and if Caleb Hanie doesn't look any better than he did last week, Donovan McNabb might be getting a call... Same deal for Houston, who is hosting Atlanta today.

In the NFC East today, the Redskins host the Jets at 1pm. Dallas and New York are in action at 4:15. The Cowboys cupcake schedule continues as they face the Cardinals in a game that Kevin Kolb is supposed to be back for. The Giants task, on the hand, could not get harder as they welcome the Green Bay Packers to town. It's a do or die game for the Giants, who will fall to .500 and probably out of the playoffs with a loss.

Actually, our playoff chances don't really change with this game.

After this, we got Dallas x2, Redskins, Jets. We sweep, we’re in. Even if we won this game, if we split with Dallas, we’d still probably lose considering they have conference tiebreakers. So its sweep or bust haha.

As far as motivation goes though, if we get creamed today, kiss the chances goodbye anyway.

I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

This is such stupid logic, players switch positions all the time. Hell, almost every player who plays in a 3-4 defense makes the switch from their college position. Every. Single. One. And that certainly hasn’t stopped teams like the Steelers, Ravens, Packers and others from putting together elite 3-4 defenses.

Oh and what defense is #1 in the NFL right now? The Houston Texans. Well, did you know they didn’t run a 3-4 defense last year? Did you know they switched EVERY SINGLE PLAYERS’ POSITION.

Just stop.

Oh and Trevor Laws was a really good 3-4 DE in college.

You don’t need the same rangy players in the 3-4 defense that you need in the 4-3 defense. Look at the 3-4 defenses around the NFL, they’re filled with big, hulking linebackers that are better moving forward because that is what the scheme dictates.

Sure, athleticism is great to have but its not at the same premium as it is in the 4-3 defense. Less space to cover for the linebackers.

No we didn’t try them standing up and to say McDermott dropped them into coverage 20% of the time is hyperbolic.

And all the times you recall them in coverage was when for some reason McDermott would send them in deep zone coverage. Very dumb.

The 3-4 OLBs are pass rushers first and foremost. Can Cole and Graham do that? Check.
The 3-4 OLBs are supposed to be big and strong enough to set the edge against the run. Can Cole and Graham do that? Check.
The 3-4 OLBs are supposed to be agile enough to cover short areas of the field on about 10-15% of the time. Can Cole and Graham do that? Check.

Question: Why can Lamarr Woodley, Ahmad Brooks, Shawne Merriman, Shaun Phillips, James Harrison (who is 6’ tall and 265 pounds), Ryan Kerrigan and Terrell Suggs be effective 3-4 OLBs but Trent Cole and Brandon Graham can’t? Its not like those guys I mentioned are any more athletically gifted than Cole or Graham.

NO

Our very own Spuds had an interview with Trent Cole where he asked him about the dropping DEnds in coverage (which you have to be standing to do), it was over 15 percent of the time our Dends dropped and cole said himself he didnt like to do that but “would do whatever is asked”. Graham and Cole are not “Agile” enough to have responsibility to cover any portion of the field, period. Do they have some speed, sure but that doesnt mean these guys can be effective in coverage. Trent is not a “break down” type of player meaning he wouldnt be able to preform when faced with shuffling and or making plays on the ball in air. Unless you are planning to just rush both of the edge Every play then it makes no sense.

Out of the players you named none of them are like Cole or Graham playing wise. Maybe Kerrigan and Cole but Ryan is taller.

Because Cole can accurately recount approximately what percentage of the time he was in coverage off the top of his head in an interview with Dave Spadaro, right? Surely, Trent Cole would never ever get anything wrong or exaggerate.

Fact: Trent Cole played 963 snaps in 2010 and 43 of them were in coverage. That means he was in coverage 4% of the time. 4%.

And how are Cole and Graham any different than those guys? Just to prove my point, look at the measurables of these players.

Trent Cole: 6’2", 236 pounds and a 4.77 40 yard dash
Brandon Graham: 6’1" 268 pounds and a 4.71 40 yard dash

I'm actually writing a fanpost on this...

A. They’re bigger and stronger out of necessity. You simply need bigger guys to run the defense. Bigger and stronger is an automatic bonus.
B. It is easier to find, utilize and keep 3-4 defensive players.
C. With a 3-4 front it’s a little bit easier to create pressure because there are more potential pass rushers and a higher level of unpredictability when determining where the pressure is coming from. And it also affords players a bit more flexibility as you’ll often see linebackers move around to take advantage of mismatches.
D. It is stronger against the run because you’ve got two guys on the outside to set the edges and keep contain. In the 3-4 you’ve pretty much got 5 guys on the line of scrimmage on every play. In the 4-3 defense the linebackers have to get to the edge and once they get they have to break down and adjust to take on blockers and set the edge. Or you have to adjust your fronts (over, under) and you leave yourself more susceptible to counter and cutback runs and puts more pressure on the backside DE and LB.
E. There is less stress on the linebackers because they have less ground to cover in coverage and they’ve got less of an area they’re responsible for in run defense simply because there are 4 of them instead of 3.

I’d think that they are. You can convert DE’s to 3-4 LBs, so it opens up a lot of possibilities.

Oh yes they are. It is much, much, much easier to find them. Don’t you think there is a reason 3-4 defenses always have superior linebacker play? Its an inherently more linebacker friendly scheme.

I think that’s one of the reasons (other than when JJ was around we didn’t need to switch schemes), the Reid doesn’t want a 3-4 defense because then he would have no choice but to put emphasis on the LBs which as we’ve seen he is reluctant to care about.

There’s only a handful of teams that run a 3-4, and it works really well for them. If every team starts running a 3-4 coaches are going to find it’s flaws.

Wait, so you’re telling me that coaches don’t know how to game plan for a 3-4 defense? That seems sort of silly considering that it’s been around FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS. And are you really telling me that coaches haven’t been able to devise game plans to attack the 3-4 defenses of say the Steelers (the same scheme they’ve been running for about 20 years now) because “only a handful of teams run it”?

And “only a handful of teams run it” is actually wrong. About half the NFL runs a 3-4 defense.

Teams use that front as a situational front. The LSU tigers use it quite often actually.

I’m not 100% positive (I’m downloading a game now) but I think the Broncos are using some Bear front concepts to use Von Miller. I’m looking into that though.

Ancient History is my thing.. That calander

Doesnt work like ours. They had alot more to it than ours does, so for those that were trying to “Translate” its meaning by using our calanders “thinking” was a dumbass. These people had astrological elements to their calander not to mention other factors, so long story short 2012 isnt a date, but a series of “Events” or “happenings” that have taken and will take place in space and on Earth. Not some dooms day like people are claiming. Its a change in the frequency of the planet due to the fact the earth is continuosly moving through an endless thing, called space. Somehow the Mayans (and many other thought to be primative civilizations) knew about and recorded the electric and magnetic fields of the earth which let them make alot of Predictions. They were def not some dummies like modern day man would want you to believe, but people that talk about them (Ancient Aliens) make it seem like they werent scarily on point with their writings. Alot of times the Ancient peoples wrote in an allegorical way meaning, they made stories/wise tales out of science so when you deal with their writings you have to know the meaning behind them, which Ancient Aliens doesnt do. But its more entertaining to just stay on the surface level of story “Oh, the Mayans said aliens would come from out the sky and blah blah”, instead of actually breaking down their scientific meaning for the story.

The NFC…no fuck it. The NFL is incredibly weak this year. In the AFC: Peyton is gone, the Jags have the worst offense in the NFL, the Texans couldn’t stay healthy in a padded room, the Titans vaccum, the Pats couldn’t stop someone from passing a pipe, Turner ran the Bolts into the ground, and the Steelers and Baltimore aren’t making all that much noise. In the NFC: the Saints are inconsistent, the Falcons are worse, the Bucs remembered they were the Bus, the NFC East may be the weakest division in football, and the only real threats in the NFL are the Packers and 49ers (who we have far more talent than).

You’re telling me in an NFL year this bad, we can’t even have a winning record?

Too early to say. I don’t think he’ll be worth what the Eagles gave up to get him, but that remains to be seen as well.

You don’t think it’s a huge risk taking a guy with only 2 years of football experience that high in the first round? It happened to work out…I’m not gonna give them that much credit.

Although, we did draft a guy in the first with just 4 years experience…

Actually with the Cowboys loss today, and the guaranteed Giant loss here, I can see a season where 8-8 with tiebreakers could win out the division. I know I know nobody wants to even explore that scenario and get their hopes up, but with the Cowboys and Giants needing to face each other twice still, anything can play out.

by EagleinDC on Dec 4, 2011 7:27 PM EST up reply actions  

well… maybe the Green Bay win isn’t so guaranteed…

by EagleinDC on Dec 4, 2011 7:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Without acknowledging the almost insurmountable odds the Eagles face of winning out, we’re technically still in it.

Cowboys need to go 1-3, Giants 2-2 at best to have a 3-way tie. We win the tiebreaker.

I have the utmost faith that the Cowboys and Giants can complete their collective collapses. I have no faith in the Eagles winning out.

Repeat process until either 1) all teams involved have a losing record or 2) two of the teams involved have to play each other.

Yeah true, that last drive was awesome… and shows why the Eagles should always keep the deep threat/quick yardaqe card as part of the arsenal, even as we try to run down the clock more.

He was just screwing with Tom Coughlin.

Next game, he’s going to throw left-handed for the first 3 quarters.

I pray they do want him gone. Easy pickings for him to coach. He’s a good coach. I know Norv Turner is gone next year so they might get him. I have a feeling that even if he does hit the market, the Eagles FO won’t pick him up.
