I'm being perfectly civil, he's the one who takes everything as a personal affront to his gods.

RAS is showing 185 at the combine, not 188.


And yes, Coaches determine how much time you get, and they've determined he is not durable enough to play full time both ways. That's the whole point of what I'm saying here. This isn't college, players are bigger, faster, hit harder, and they'd rather have a full time corner than an injured receiver/corner.


The official NFL Combine values literally have him measured in at 188lbs lol. Regardless.

He needs to be playing full time both ways. The sooner this coaching staff lets him do that, the better this team will be.

And the way to play full time..........both ways.............is to bulk up. Holy shit, how are we still talking about this, man?

Because you're assuming that his bulk is the reason why he isn't playing both ways full time. That's false.

They wanted him to focus on one side of the ball more than the other to learn the play books. Learning both at the same time off the jump they thought was too much on his plate from the beginning. Especially when they had him focusing on Offense first and the Offensive playbook is very intensive and deep.

Aj Brown and Devonte are good…
Run first offense means nothing.
Wouldnt that mean they get even better looks aka solid stats every game??
Especially with an elite passer like Jalen Hurts, right???

Smith:
3 for 16
2 for 29
4 for 49
4 for 53

So half the games so far Smith has an astounding 140 yds on 13 catches.


Brown:
1 for 8
5 for 27
2 for 7 (he had NINE TARGETS)
5 for 43

Again, half the games played and this dude has busted in half of them.

So in 4 games, these two have combined for a total of like 200 yards.


I can tell you haven't watched the Eagles this season.

Their offensive player calling was a mess early this season. They weren't using their WR's and when they did they had them running horrendous routes. We also saw the games where hurts missed them down field numerous times....

If this season is the sample size to what EVERYONE (except you two apparently rofl) agreed is one of the best WR corps is football...well then I guess they suck :rofl:

I don't believe this is worth much more of a convo. AJ and DeVonta are one of the best WR corps in football. This isn't even arguable. They're two of the very best in the business. They arent in an ideal situation from a personal productivity standpoint, but they're listed as top 1 or 2 on everyone's list for a reason. They're also super bowl champs for a reason.

Because his bulk is the primary reason why he isn't playing both ways full time, that isn't false.

The team would rather have an elite corner playing 100% of snaps right now, than to have an injured one trying to play both ways.

Ask any coach this same question, you'll get the same response.

5-3 (+83 point differential 2nd in NFL)

Team is starting to roll now. Imagine them being 5-3 and they haven't even sniffed their potential yet.

Good times.

If bulk is the issue, he's more prone to injury playing WR than he is at CB... You're argument doesn't make any sense my man. If he's too small to play CB, then he has no business playing WR where he's going to take more violent hits.

And Hunter has never taken 100% of the CB snaps in a game yet this season. Or WR snaps. He should absolutely be out there for 100% of the CB snaps going forward.

Correct.

First, I didn't say he's too small to play CB.

Second, I literally have been saying this entire conversation that he should be playing corner until he bulks up. You're literally telling me my argument is wrong, while simultaneously making all the same points I made about him playing two ways at Receiver. My argument can't be wrong if you're making my point for me.

You said he was too light to play CB and/or WR. Even though he has been arguably our best WR this season and probably our 2nd best CB even in limited snaps.
