DeMarco Murray leaves practice with hamstring injury
The Philadelphia Eagles anemic rushing attack was dealt another blow, when DeMarco Murray left practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury.
The Eagles offense looked unstoppable in the pre-season, but they’ve had their wings clipped in the first two games of the regular season.
Should the Eagles struggle to win on the road against the Jets and Washington Redskins next week, it won’t matter what jerseys they wear when they return to host the New Orleans Saints in week five, because fans will probably be wearing paper bags on their heads that will block their eyes from seeing the on-field product. Injured players are not required to meet with the media but certainly not prohibited except in cases involving recovery from concussions. “First couple weeks of the season, it’s true”. The Eagles have lost yardage on 21.2 percent of their carries. His two against Dallas failed to continue critical drives. I totally get that.
“No, that’s all myth”, Mincey said. “I have to get better. We’re all frustrated with where that’s at”.
“… I’m frustrated with losing”. There’s not just a hole to be filled by trading for a player.
“The inside zone play is a great equalizer”, Kelly explained at the coaching clinic.
Never has Murray offered any criticism of his teammates or coaches.
“We’re not putting together a plan that’s good enough for us to execute offensively because we’re not executing it”, Kelly said. QB, offensive line, defensive back, are all positions that provide true impact guys at the top of the draft. So, with one of the most religious representatives in the world visiting our wonderful place we call home, how about we get him to bless Bradford’s knees during his visit to Philly!
The question stemmed from comments made about wide receiver Josh Huff, who told reporters the Cowboys were calling out the Eagles’ plays. “Period”. But when Kelly asked Huff about his comments, he denied them.
New York’s passing game has been a pleasant surprise behind Ryan Fitzpatrick, who Bowles said would remain the starter even when Geno Smith returns from a broken jaw. Not saying I’m a genius, I just had a feeling he was going to be a focal point. “I’m on to the Jets”. Kelly said on Wednesday that he didn’t see anything on film to suggest this problem. “I mean, that’s not the way we’re supposed to play football and that’s not what we’re all about”. I think Dallas did a good job of recognizing some of those.
You know that scene in Boondock Saints when the Detective says “Where you going?” The Eagles might be able to get out of this funk, but there as to be some change.
Of course, Bradford hasn’t always put the ball where it should be caught – at least by the Eagles.
“We were a little inconsistent on Sunday”, Kelly said.
Then he added more of a positive spin.
He was asked if he thought the Cowboys knew what was coming.
Didn’t sound like a “no”. Louis Murphy needed just 31 grabs to rack up six that went for 20 yards or more.
