The Eagles running game is pathetic.

Starting at their own 10 with a little more than six minutes remaining, the Redskins (2-2) drove 90 yards on 15 plays to take the lead for good. The Redskins got to get more disciplined. In other words, it’s really good. Having Murray, who led the National Football League in rushing for Dallas last season, raise questions about the play-calling is another. Watch as Kirk Cousins dials up the pass in a crowd. “They had two for about eight to 12 yards”.
Of his notable observations were that the Eagles are lacking a winning formula, as displayed by their constant slow starts and inability to finish off an opponent late in games. Beau Allen played nose tackle in the base defense, with Bennie Logan at end.
Being at the bottom of a mediocre-at-best division is one thing. “Obviously, I think there were a lot of expectations early”.
Kelly insists it is all about execution, a muffled suggestion that the called plays are splendid, but the players running them are flawed. When youre not on the same page, it makes it hard to work toward a common goal…. “I don’t know what kind of impact it had, but Bennie played great”.
At the first quarter point of the season Bradford’s overall numbers are as follows: 88-for-145, 948 yards, 6 TDs, 4 Ints, 1 fumble, and a Rating 82.2. Instead, it moved Washington into Eagles territory and helped keep their drive alive. “We just have to do it on a more consistent basis”. The Eagles need to find a way to get the offensive line to function and block, it’s as simple as that, although it’s not easy accomplishing. DeMeco Ryans is lined up directly behind Allen. He is a North and South runner and you have him going laterally.
GREAT GARCON: Despite playing on what the Redskins said was a sprained knee, Garcon was terrific down the stretch, on the receiving end of Cousins’ last three completions for 32 yards, including the go-ahead points.
Johnson allowed two sacks on the final drive and four quarterback hurries in total. “We need to execute the plays better”. “There’s nobody talking about being gassed”. Even on a day with 13 miles per hour winds, he offered no excuses.
“He’s managing the football game and he’s putting us in position to win in the fourth quarter and we finally did that”, Gruden said. If he makes those, Philadelphia wins. DE Brandon Bair (groin), CB Byron Maxwell (quad) and LB Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) left on Washington’s first two drives…. Murray said, via ESPN. We’re all sticking by the plan and we’re showing Kirk that we have confidence in him.
“Oh, that’s a game of inches and they caught that thing in inches”.
To take that a step further, the inability to run has been the source of all of their problems. We’re either going to max drop or max blitz you. Thurmond’s coverage was nearly flawless, it was a brilliant throw too. Connor Barwin is unblocked off the edge and taking a flawless angle. “I have to look the ball in, no matter what happens”. “The ball had to come out, and I’m telling you, it was that close”.
“It was a flawless throw. And then Garcon takes the hit from Rowe and hangs onto the ball”.
You might have to turn the music down just a bit.
“And it’s a game of inches”, Davis added.

From getting rid of playmakers DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin, to swapping Nick Foles for Sam Bradford, to the short-lived Tim Tebow experiment, to the expensive addition of Murray – and plenty more, on and off the field – Kelly draws scrutiny on a regular basis.
