Getting a postseason trophy of any kind would be a start

You can keep complaining about how much people at Philly fans, but let's look at some of the things Philly fans have done over the years.

They threw snowballs at the Cowboys players and coaches.
They threw batteries at JD Drew.
They put a full court system in their football stadium.
A guy threw up on a little girl.
They cheered Michael Irvin's career ending injury.
They threw snowballs at Santa.
They threw wristbands honoring their dead owner on the ice while their own players begged them to stop (and the refs were correct on the call!)

There might be some decent fans in Philly, but there are way more horrible ones (and just bad people) than any other fanbase I can think of.

Well what's your definition of "winning" in the playoffs? I mean, sure, they haven't won the whole caboodle, but by definition they have won (multiple times).

I think the point was that they might be in good shape at the position, but as a program, they weren't in good shape so you can't say that they're "still in good shape"

There's a lot of truth in that quote. Don't see anything wrong with it. Anyone who says they wouldn't like to have Smoke, Zaccheaus, and Reid is lying.

In typical fashion, the Joe Hadeed Washington Carpetals get the early sweep under the rug again. Seems like whatever this team needs to win the playoffs, they just don't have it. How much experience do they need to keep up the intensity and not go through flat, uninspired stretches of play?

Onward to the Nats, then Hokies!

that time of year, if you want big drum, you need to head north. Fishing with heavy conventional surf gear throwing fresh spotheads on fishfinder rigs off the end of the pier is the ticket for big drum. Start at Avalon Pier and work your way south as the fish move through.

Exactly. In retrospect, this may be my biggest peeve with having Lefty take over for Stiney as OC. Our "culture" offensively was not putting in the effort or paying the attention to detail needed, and I don't think Lefty was a great fix at all for those problems. Schematically, he tried to reinvent the wheel with formations, shifts, passing routes, etc. But it was the little things that still didn't get addressed - effort, blocking, selling play action, handoffs, fakes, lazy route running, etc. I don't care what offense you want to run; if you can't take care of those little things, your odds of being terribly successful are doomed from the get go. I'm excited to see a better focus on effort, detail, and player buy-in under the new staff.

Thanks for the response and great article! I don't know much about Vice's recruiting strategy for OL. It pains me to think we will need to go all athletic (newsome era with converted tight ends) instead of bringing in true OL with nasty attitudes that understand what it takes to get that yard when you need it. To me, the definition of athletic for an OL, is impose your will at all costs. I am not trying to over simplify it but don't need to overthink it either. Curious how you see it French.
