He said he sprained it in the second half Sunday. “But if this continues, much like the players that have gone, we’re going to start hearing the chipping away from within with the players, and unfortunately it’ll be under the “anonymous” tag to begin with”. Bradford did not have long to get rid of the ball but his accuracy on shorter throws was not good.

We’re entering week five of the National Football League season, and a few teams are looking forward to it more than others. He did that against Philadelphia. That, of course, is four lost points in a three-point game. The Eagles run game needs to come alive so the defense is not on the field against Brees all game. Bradford appears averse to contact and is throwing the ball in the flat almost instantly. That’s been a recipe for disaster in the past.
Operating against a Redskins secondary missing DeAngelo Hall and with Chris Culliver slowed by a sore knee, Bradford finished 15 for 28 for 254 yards, including 10 for 18 for 179 yards and three scores after trailing 13-0 at halftime. Davis simply shrugged them off and said the Fox announcer was trying to get his TV ratings up.
“There’s a lot of things we can improve on”. I don’t think I am. Again without DeSean Jackson, he still managed a 91.8 rating with 31 completions on 46 throws.
Individually, the play marked the second time Cousins had recorded points as a rusher in his career, as he previously rushed for a two-point conversion vs. Baltimore in 2012. Ross’ only catch went for 43 yards. He caught three passes on the final drive, including the 4-yard touchdown pass that won it. “Pierre has always been very consistent”, QB Kirk Cousins said.

Fitz was underthrowing receivers all day, and, at times, attempting to jam the ball into rookie Devin Smith who was stuck in tight coverage. With Sam Bradford, a pocket passer, at quarterback, it makes them a one-dimensional team. But that was also expected. He had a healthy DeMarco Murray, but he did not receive as many touches as expected. SS Trenton Robinson struggled in pass coverage. Terrance Knighton in the middle is a force at nose.
Washington Redskins defensive end Jason Hatcher (97) looses his… The 27-year-old running back missed the game last week due to a hamstring injury and only had a total of 29 carries for 47 yards in the season. The Philadelphia faithful will not take too kindly to this notion, but Bradford has shown flashes of why he was selected first overall in the 2010 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams. Redskins K Dustin Hopkins went 3 for 3 on field-goal tries, making from 20, 33 and 38 yards. Punter Tress Way averaged 44.2 yards per punt and had a long of 63. He did not return and his status for this week is uncertain. The Eagles started off with a strong first drive that resulted in a 30 yard field goal by Cody Parkey.
-COACHING: B. Give Jay Gruden and his staff credit.
Thanks to Hurricane Joaquin’s right turn, the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington know when and where they will be playing.

Just four weeks into the season, the Eagles face an uphill battle just to get back into the playoff race, but the NFC East is doing everything in it’s power to keep Kelly and company in the conversation. Joe Barry’s secondary is a mess with injuries. So he unleashed the pass rush.
