Philadelphia Eagles Cheap Cameron Johnston Jersey , culminating in a crushing loss to the Dallas Cowboys in a must-win game on Sunday Night Football. With a couple of days removed from the emotion of the loss, Benjamin Solak and I took a look at the coaches film and tried to explain what went wrong and who is to blame.You can start by looking at an offense that has been limited due to slow starts, sloppy errors, and inconsistent finishing. The Eagles didn’t convert on a money down until there was five minutes left in the third quarter. Even in this down year it’s uncharacteristic for this team. Is it offensive coordinator Mike Groh that’s to blame? Perhaps Doug Pederson? Are we missing Frank Reich that badly?We try to provide some insight on that and we also pick apart some comments made by Jim Schwartz in his press conference on Tuesday. When asked about the “picket fence” sticks defense on long money downs, Schwartz claimed the Eagles have yet to concede a first down with that deployment. The thing is, he’s actually correct Cheap Sidney Jones Jersey , but mostly due to technicality. We discuss that and the execution of a defense that once again failed to hold up its end of the bargain in the second half.All that and a bunch of nerdy X & O talk on the newest Kist & Solak Show, including a peak ahead to the New Orleans Saints who will likely run a red zone concept that was successful for the Cowboys on Sunday.

With the news of Darren Sproles’ re-aggravated hamstring and DeAndre Carter’s signing with the Houston Texans, the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles find themselves in a bit of a pickle. They don’t have a proven punt returner on the roster... or do they?Before we get to the answer, let’s talk about what we let walk.

I pounded the table for Carter making the team during the preseason and am a fan of his game. He was waived two days ago to make room for defensive tackle and T.Y. McGill. This move spoke to the availability of Timmy Jernigan, who is working his way back from injury, but also led to the current sticky situation.Carter’s biggest contribution as a punt returner came in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Down 20-17 in the fourth quarter with two minutes remaining Youth Ronald Darby Jersey , Carter put the Eagles in striking distance. His 42-yard return eventually led to a game-tying field goal which forced the game to overtime.On the year, Carter returned 10 punts for 103 yards. His departure leaves the Eagles with only two other players with punt return experience. Nelson Agholor and Corey Clement. Combined they’ve account for 7 returns for 18 yards. Not to say they aren’t perfectly cromulent replacements, but there is a better option.What if the Eagles used a new acquisition in that role? Jordan Mailata Golden Tate has experience as a punt returner and according to Detroit Lions’ beat reporters he has consistently worked on it in recent training camps.The last time Tate worked extensively as a return was 2013, when he returned 51 punts for 585 yards (11.5 average). In the next three years he has returned 24 punts combined for 187 yards (7.8 average).Some might question using a starting player that the Eagles’ recently spent a 2019 third round selection to acquire in a special teams role. The risk is putting him in harms way unnecessarily. The reward is getting solid production from a player who is comfortable fielding punts. I’ll add, the risk is an inexperienced player muffing away a game or a possession in Eagles territory.The Eagles need to make a run to secure a playoff spot; now is not the time to shy away from utilizing the strengths of what they have available out of fear. It’s easy to see how Tate’s skill-set translates and him filling in at punt returner makes the most sense right now.
