[@Stephenwhite013]

Chris has to stop saying Dallas isn’t a good blocker. You lose credibility with those kinds of statements

[@talldreamyopposum]

He never had any he was a bum qb 😅

[@godiegolems]

@@talldreamyopposum Facts. Only a bum qb who couldn't think for themselves wouldn't notice what a stellar job blocking Dallas does for our offense. Dude certainly never called his own pass pro if he's that incapable of recognizing good blocking.

[@Andrew-Comi]

@Stephenwhite013 he lost credibility when he said jalen was the 34th best qb

[@talldreamyopposum]

@@godiegolems who tf honestly says "oh i wonder what chris simms has to say about so and so?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KevinTobin-o9s]

Was going to say the same. If you look at some of those top tier TE they are terrible blockers. Dallas is definitely one of the better blocking TE on both pass that run.

[@Andrew-Comi]

Goedert is one of the best run blocking TEs playing today. What are you talking about

[@waynehenry127]

Did he really just say Dallas isnt a great run blocker?!

[@TomReichner]

Goedert is one of the best run-blocking tight ends in the conference. He is, arguably, even better as a run blocker than he is as a receiver.

[@justushilliard6994]

I can tell you Calcaterra is an AWFUL blocker.

[@donh5856]

@@justushilliard6994 he’s honestly unplayable. I want him on the practice squad and call up Jack stoll

[@justushilliard6994]

@@donh5856 absolutely. Unbearable to watch.

[@mscottmscott8580]

Before Chris Simms makes this comment, he should watch the tapes of Goedert's blocking ability. He is one of the best blocking TE in the league.

[@ofcourseycooks6263]

Goedert is a good run blocker. Sims do your homework bud.

[@_D_E_N_N_I_S_]

He blocks with fury lol. I love watching him block.

[@donh5856]

Dallas is one of the best pass and run blockers in the league! I knew Chris didn’t watch the games. Stick to analyzing the Giants!

[@gayviolyn]

I know right. He’s a poser

[@slicks1175]

Dallas is literally one of the best blocking TEs in the league 😅

[@mksongbird]

not to be overlooked but with 13 minutes in the fourth quarter of this game the following Eagles starters were injured/not playing: AJ Brown DeVonta Smith Lane Johnson Mekhi Becton Darius Slay Britain Covey

[@Smok3dit]

Dallas is one if the best run blocking TEs in the NFL

[@gayviolyn]

Are you kidding me. He’s a great run blocker. Probably the MOST complete tight end in the league!! Come on Chris!!

[@nigelreid6726]

Chris said Dallas ain’t a good run blocker lol. These dudes don’t know the players on these team. Wtf. Dallas is a great run blocker

[@LaceyfordSeabiscuit]

Barkley 61 yards untouched

[@bcostello]

Devonta Smith was intentionally injured and then spit on while laying on the ground.

[@justinstella6787]

I saw that too. U can’t really see if he spit on him or just next to him tho so I’m not gonna so without a doubt he’s dirty but I feel like even spitting next to an unconscious opponent is a major sign of disrespect

[@riekthegreat1]

(Saints fan) the hit was cheap for sure. You hate to see a player get hurt like that. The refs gotta blow that whistle much earlier though. They stopped his forward progress and the refs let them drive Devonta backwards for like 6 yards. But yeah no excuse for some bs hit like that, hope he’s good

[@flyhi8088]

The Saints also targeted Slay out of bounds to the bench and it was obviously dirty.​@@riekthegreat1

[@riekthegreat1]

@@flyhi8088yeah no idea what Penning was doing. There could be an argument for the hit on Smith but the out of bounds block on slay didn’t make sense

[@FightrForLife]

@@riekthegreat1 Refs have to blow the whistle sooner... Players play to the whistle. Should have been a fumble. And I'm a fan of Devonta Smith, hate to see it for him.

[@bohunter1949]

Did you really think the Saints were going to be a great team. Please I have been watching this team for 50+ years. They will break your heart.

[@diehardeaglesfansince1994]

That call before half was inexplicable even if we get the first down there's probably going to be like a little under 10 seconds left

[@happyliltre3721]

Chris said Dallas Goedert isn’t a great blocker?! Dude clearly doesn’t watch Eagles tape the last 7 years😂🤣🤯 it feels like he meant Calcaterra when he was describing Dallas wrong. Terrible for Chris’ credibility

[@avvocato5543]

The Goedert play was not Saints running into each other. Kellen Moore schemed the TE open. Beautiful play design and play call. Simms stealing money in his commentary. Boo!

[@_D_E_N_N_I_S_]

Just like Dallas isn’t a good run blocker. Hes the guy you want to run behind.

[@terrencearter2534]

That wasn’t kellen jalen called the play because he read the defense Dallas said that

[@diehardeaglesfansince1994]

Does he forget that the defense is what got us the win week one

[@19faf]

Week 1 was weird. Yes they sealed the game but they also let up 30+.

[@godiegolems]

Jalen is a system QB, and I think that's a GOOD thing. Dude always looks to make the play that wins the game, not what makes him look good. Now, he is absolutely behind when it comes to certain reads, and he either scrambles too early or straight up forces bad plays that lead to turnovers WAY too much right now. But people aren't mentioning enough how NEW of a system he's operating with, and the third new one in three years to boot. But I think if he's allowed to learn this system throughout the year without too many injuries, it's a pretty safe bet the birds will run much deeper than they did last year, bare minimum.

[@Zekers87]

Without injuries, the eagles lost Becton, Johnson, Smith, Slay and Covey not to mention AJ..........

[@godiegolems]

@@Zekers87 none of those are season ending though, unless there's something we don't know about Covey and Slay yet that could be more serious. But we are deep at corner so that's somewhat ok, and even though we aren't that deep at receiver we still have tons of weapons including the best tandem in the league, who so far are only out for a few weeks. AJ I imagine will be back next week.

[@anubismaat2813]

@@godiegolemsyeah but the WRs yet again showed no consistency getting open and Jalen for sure seemed like he didn’t trust nobody else but Covey and Smith when Goedart was taken away before their injuries.

[@bren2k5]

Such a bad take what system has Jalen ran for more than one year?

[@godiegolems]

@@bren2k5 Reading comprehension, "bren." I said he HASN'T had 1 system to run for more than one year. And, despite that naturally holding him back, he still has more wins than any qb not named Mahomes since he's been starting. Sit down and read a book before you wanna insult someone's take with bad reading skills maybe.

[@L91168]

Dallas Goedert is one of the best run blocking TEs in the league. Do you ever watch the games without a bong in your hand, Chris?

[@dtimbs84]

4:30 lol i see it in the comments and i am going to say it also but did Simms REALLY say that Goedert isnt a good run blocker!? Thats actually what he is known for more than anything. How about u do a little research before u get to talking, dude!? Its your job btw!!

[@L4_M4CH1NA]

It’s not sustainable offense, but that defense was phenomenal though

[@Reptitude]

The Eagles still need better DE play. Brandon Graham was carrying the DEs. Sweat and Huff both have played like garbage this year. The DTs were great, but DEs need work.

[@Rockydenzel]

ITS NOT CROSSING ROUTES ITS RUNNING INTERFERENCE THEY RAN THAT PLAY TI GET DALLAS OPEN THEY OTHER 2 WRS RAN BASICALLY AT DALLAS THEN VEERED OFF NOLA DIDNT SCREW IT UP GIVE KELLAN CREDIT FIR THAT!!!!

[@williamblackfyre4866]

Its like the world forgot how good Quon is.

[@banba317]

If not for the bad play calls, turnovers and penalties, the Eagles might have blown the Saints out. They were beating themselves for 3 quarters!

[@thatJAWNraps]

3 defenders didnt just larry curly and moe that, the other wr's route literally has hit hop between them so smoothly its almos tlike a fake pick lol

[@bidniss101]

"The saints don't score less than 40". It has been 2 weeks and they played the Panthers and the Cowboys defenses lol. What kind of overreaction was it with NO? Got some nice players, but they aren't anything better than a wild-card team.

[@datdamndavisboy]

These guys don't know intimate information of our team. Take what these folks say with a grain of salt.

[@392slim_6]

The saints lost there pro bowl center first play of the game and Tayson hill didn’t play.

[@RebelMDG26]

Maybe he means Calcaterra because he’s an aweful blocker.

[@123.7M]

It was a trap game.

[@williamblackfyre4866]

Lol what? By definition its not. A trap game is where you go in and underestimate a bad team after a big win against a GOOD team. Saint beat a mid team and got beat by a good team.

[@randywright3430]

The eagles should have won by 24 to 12. They didn't because of bad play calling Is sherianni needs to learn how to take the poinstead of thinking he can do better. Just take the points he does too much bed play calling fire him.
