Thanks for everyone's thoughts here...
I think the offense is the best Reid has assembled talent-wise, but not the best execution or discipline-wise...is that because of youth in the OL, WR and RB positions? Is it because of too much responsibility put on McNabb? Is it due to players gelling together as a unit? Is it due to Reid/Castillo/Culley/Marty not instructing them well enough?
I have not really seen this many mistakes, penalties, fumbles, dropped balls etc. in a Reid-coached team since maybe 1999...so I have to assume it is just this mix of players and them still not gelling totally or a lack of discipline/focus at times...I think with Runyan, Thomas, McNabb, Westy, Bucky, LJ they should have enough leadership to handle the issues, but maybe some of the vets too are nicked up or struggling along with the youth...
The defense is on the right track IMO, but needs better play from the LB, some of the rotational DE/DT, Lewis at SS and we need Hood back for our CB nickel/dime depth....
We do miss Kearse for sure. The DL unit started out on fire and have slowed without him...
JJ has not lost anything IMO...it is not something you lose after being so successful for so long. It comes down to having the right mix of players, having them all perform to potential and having a good game plan to attack the enemy...we mostly have the right mix although again I worry about LB and CB depth and we really need J-Mac and Rayburn/Ramsey to be that 5th guy...not all are playing to potential right now, but JJ is making good plans from what I see.
Does he adjust well during the games? Sometimes...sometimes the opposing offense just beats us or we beat ourselves, but the only concern I have is the Dawk blitzes....without Dawk in our secondary I get nervous and I do not see Dawk getting to the QB with regularity like he used to...
