This is a lost season and it should not come as a big surprise to the fans. Between a short offseason, starting off the season with so many injuries and guys who didn't get any preseason. Many new coaches and the lack of adjustments on the defensive side of the ball. Its time for some hail marrie moves.
This team needs a wake up call. That means some players are going to get benched for at least a short time period. The following players should take a seat on the bench.
1. Jalen Mills I know I am in the minority here but Mills wasn't horrible yesterday the problem is he simply can't cover a deep pass. That long pass play was as much a very good wide receiver and QB making a nice play. Even so its an optics thing and its time to give somebody else a chance. Rasul Douglas should get the next chance out there. Not Sidney Jones. Douglas was a 3rd round pick and has shown flashes.
2. Jason Peters doesn't have it anymore. He is getting beat like a drum, way too many pre snap penalites. Now I don' t really want Big V out there so I may try the Australian Mailta. I didn't like the fact he blamed Wentz yesterday for holding the ball. Go back and look at the tape, he was under siege under 2 seconds too many times.
3. Suemolo blows shouldn't be out there at all. Bring back Wiz at LG he isn't great but he is steady.
4. Bench Ayaji he is hurt but also seems to turn the ball over too much. I want more of Josh Adams and I want of him running up the middle. Smallwood seems to be revived. Once Clement is healthy I want him out there as the bell cow.
5. Kamar Aikin - He is none existent in the WR corp but yet a starter. Start Gibson
6. Doug Pederson - I think its time for him to let Groh call the plays at least temporary. Its a switch it up thing. Andy Reid used to do that when his offense was suppering.
7. Jim Schwartz - No creativity on defense, league has caught up to him. Unfortunately its too late to make major changes there. I think he has to play much more man and stop worrying about getting beat deep. Try and take away the short game that has been very successful through the first five opponents. The short game has been leading to the long game for the other teams. If you get beat deep you get beat deep. Its one series. They need many more three and outs. I count 4 3 and outs for the defense over the past two weeks. That is no where near good enough. That doesn't put the offense in a good position and they need it right now .
