That's just transparently nonsense. Maybe, but I don't think so. Sanders had a fumbling problem in college. Didn't have him last year, so don't know if it continued his rookie season. The Eagles were 100% content to just run 3 plays and punt on that series. My guess is they trusted Clement not to fumble more than they wanted to move the chains, so they played it safe. I noticed he wasn't in there too, but I wouldn't be overly concerned (by that). Don't see the situation arising all that often for Philly this year. More than anything, Wentz needs to get right. Sanders had a drop on an angle route which really stuck out because he would've been gone if he'd caught it. Was definitely a drop, but it was a horrible pass. Zipped it low at his knees. Even if he'd caught it, the pass was so poorly placed that it probably would've limited the gain. On the bright side, Wentz's pass to Fulgham was perfect. Hopefully it builds his confidence back up a bit. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that kinda season for the Eagles ... all bad. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mustangt125 104 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That's what I was just checking - Where are all these cake NFC East matchups. Unfortunately it's not for a few weeks. Not only that, but he plays against the Pitt D this week which is really tough to run again. Seem like all my backs are constantly playing elite defenses. On another note - I know the bad pass is mentioned above - But 2 catches for him per game is not enough. He needs to have 5 catches a game. Get him in some space for god's sake.

sasnumberonefan 745 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Considering benching him this week. Pitt, at home, coming off of a bye... I want no part of this Philly offense this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He can take one to the house at any time, and his receiving floor is generally high. Hoping another week of rest will do the trick. Pitt gave up 15 to Melvin Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fort4242 739 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yeah no way you can bench this guy unless you have a team that is absolutely loaded somehow. Pitt actually has an offense with starters so I expect them to score a lot. Probably won't see Philly grinding clock like they were against SF. Philly only ran 59 plays against SF. That would be near the bottom of the league over a season. As elite as their defense has been, Barkley - 12.6, Gordon - 16.4, and DJ - 12.60. Not week winning numbers but all 3 RBs to face Pitt this year have at least gotten you double digits. Sanders is getting 15+ opportunities a game at minimum, typically closer to 20. Can't bench a guy with his talent getting that kind of opportunity. I get it, this past week was disappointing, but I consider Sanders to be one of my "studs" and he'll be in my line-up every week. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ninersdd 334 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 On the ground, PIT gave up 4 YPC to Denver, but did effectively erase NYG and HOU. Hopefully he can get his looks in the passing game. (Sucks cause I am rolling the PIT D) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They provide no long range upside to Sanders play, and thats why Im selling. With injuries getting everyone I want a healthy offense first, and the eagles never seem to be that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One down game ... if you even want to call it that, last week vs SF. His schedule lightens up moving forward as mentioned + the team getting healthy on offense. Hopefully some ceiling games are on the horizon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Not sure why the sell high chatter...he way over-produced vs. a really hard matchup, and showed the wheels on the 70 yard TD. He can do that on any play...he's explosive. Baltimore is hard too, but Eagles should feel better that they didn't completely crap the bed against a better team. Wentz also looked better too and there's an emerging weapon in Fulgam. I don't know- arrow is unchanged or pointing up for me...not pointing down. He's also getting goal-line work. If anything, he was a buy low last 2 weeks (if there were ever a time to buy low on him.) Edited October 12, 2020 by PlayTheWaivers 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
