Nick Sirianni went full Nick Sirianni on the newest Philadelphia Eagles sport

We’re midway by October, a loopy factor to be true, and are beginning to have a full and agency grasp on what’s going on this NFL season.

The 2 undefeated groups we talked about final week had been each on bye, however of their absence many different stepped up or rotted additional into obscurity. Monday will see the group in control of the primary head coach firing attempt to choose up the items, however for essentially the most half Week 6 is all mentioned and finished which permits us to attract conclusions about all of it.

That is the place The Skinny Put up is available in. It’s our job to debate essentially the most notable issues that occurred in a given NFL week and low and behold that’s precisely what we’re going to do as we speak.

Let’s experience (not within the Russell Wilson voice).

We’re previous the purpose the place the Deshaun Watson factor is unhealthy

RJ:

The Cleveland Browns have one of many worst quarterback conditions occurring within the NFL proper now and that has plagued the league (together with the Browns particularly!) in a very long time.

Even when we simply speak about soccer… Deshaun Watson is arguably the worst in your entire league. He’s holding again a bunch that would seemingly be aggressive in his absence and doing so in traditionally unhealthy vogue.

A lot has been mentioned and written and pontificated concerning the contract that Cleveland gave Deshaun and the obstacle that it’s by way of shifting on from him. I’ve no phrases of recommendation to make that individual a part of this downside higher. However I believe that I communicate for everybody in saying that this merely can not proceed to go alongside.

Learn the included tweet once more. Deshaun is, by an attention-grabbing line of measurement, the worst one since 2007. 2007! America’s Greatest Dance Crew was nonetheless a factor in 2007!

The Browns are down as unhealthy as you might be.

Michael:

It’s truthfully unimaginable how unhealthy issues have gone for Deshaun Watson since he signed with the Browns on that insane totally assured contract. I’m not even bearing in mind any of his off-field nonsense; the on-field stuff has been so putrid that it’s loopy that nobody who was in on the choice has been fired but.

I really like that you simply used a Invoice Barnwell tweet in your blurb as a result of I’m additionally going to drop some Barnwell, too.

That is HISTORICALLY unhealthy. However not simply “amongst” the all-time unhealthy begins, Watson is actually in LAST PLACE(!) in first-down charge whereas being second-to-last in yards per dropback.

The Browns have Jameis Winston proper there and the entrance workplace/teaching workers is selecting to stay with Watson as a result of they know that him understanding could be the distinction between them having the identical job or not a yr from now.

Watson was once a blast to observe when he was with the Texans. There’s not a shred of that participant left proper now.

The Browns in no way have the worst supporting solid within the NFL. There’ve been some accidents up entrance, however you may’t title one other stud passer who hasn’t handled that earlier than, both. Heck, even when Nick Chubb returns, I can’t think about Watson’s play swiftly getting mounted as a result of he has a greater floor sport to lean on.

On the finish of the day, the Browns will get precisely what they deserve in the event that they proceed down this path.

Caleb Williams was the one rookie QB (out of 5) who gained their matchup on Sunday. Which of the opposite 4 had been essentially the most spectacular of their loss?

Michael:

My vote right here goes to Drake Maye of the Patriots. Whereas he didn’t get a ton of assist from his protection (41 factors allowed), Maye nonetheless hung in there and threw a trio of landing passes in comparison with two interceptions. He additionally ended up main his group in dashing with 38 yards on 5 carries. General, he accounted for 281 of the group’s 325 whole yards of offense.

Why is that this encouraging to me? As a result of quarterbacks who’re in a position to carry their group offensive in additional methods than one when the unit is struggling is a straightforward path to being one of many higher gamers at your place.

Outdoors of somebody like Lamar Jackson who clearly can do all of it, Patrick Mahomes is aware of tips on how to make the most of his legs and preserve drives alive when opposing defenses get a stranglehold on each their passing assault and the standard floor sport. Greater than as soon as I’ve seen Mahomes lead his group in dashing as a result of it’s the one factor the protection can’t solely account for after they’ve clamped down on the whole lot else.

Good quarterbacks with the form of athletic skill that Maye and others have could make opposing groups pay with a pick-your-poison strategy the place they’ll really make them flawed on virtually each play.

Maye confirmed glimpses towards the Texans that ought to preserve the fan base optimistic. It additionally didn’t destroy his growth as a result of he performed in an enormous loss.

RJ:

I’m going to stay with Jayden Daniels right here even when the reply is low-hanging fruit. I actually wish to acknowledge that Drake Maye seemed nice, however Daniels continues to impress.

I do know that it’s simple to leap to Caleb as a result of he was wonderful in London (these video games barely depend, although). Whereas Daniels’ Washington Commanders finally misplaced to the Baltimore Ravens, they didn’t get blown out and had been extremely aggressive all through towards probably the greatest groups within the NFL.

We assumed this could be a measuring stick or announcement sport or no matter for Daniels and the Commanders and I believe many will assume that they failed the check as a result of they misplaced. However you will need to notice that they hung with Baltimore and take away from that that they’re very clearly for actual. They only aren’t going to win each single sport.

Daniels is maintaining issues regular and dealing with the hype in a really spectacular method. He’s nonetheless the ROTY for me, granted we’re solely at mid-October.

Ought to Eagles followers really feel any type of aid after beating Cleveland?

RJ:

We talked concerning the Deshaun Watson component just a little bit up high, nevertheless it was the Philadelphia Eagles who finally bought the higher of him on Sunday.

To be clear the Eagles gained and a win is a win, however they barely squeaked this factor out and did so towards one of many worst groups within the NFL. This, in fact, didn’t cease Nick Sirianni from (seemingly) chirping at Eagles followers who (we assume) had been in his ear all sport lengthy after Philly formally took care of enterprise.

Soccer is a sport of ardour and I’m at all times cool with individuals expressing it. That being mentioned, I do suppose it’s greater than truthful to anticipate your head coach to behave like he’s been there earlier than basically however moreover to have the ability to learn the room.

Philly has been in a funk because the second half of final yr and, as famous, barely held on to beat the lowly Browns. Not like when Sirianni chirped at Indianapolis Colts followers when the Eagles beat them two years in the past… this was his personal fan group! In his residence stadium! It smells like somebody who is aware of they’re up towards it and expressing that how they see match. Once more, I help flexing when you could have earned the chance to take action, however wow that is such a nasty search for the pinnacle coach of all individuals. What’s extra is given Sirianni’s antics over time… he looks like somebody who can dish it out however not take it.

Michael:

So at first, I assumed this was Sirianni chirping at opposing followers however this complete factor modifications now that I do know it was his personal fan base.

It wasn’t a fairly win by any means. Feelings flare in soccer and it’s comprehensible that some might not be capable to deal with it in addition to others. Nevertheless, it’s the pinnacle coach that’s dealing with it the worst? This incident — I suppose if we are able to name it that — makes me suppose that we’d have been seeing much more of this conduct in his tenure if the Eagles weren’t pretty much as good as they’ve been the previous few seasons. Like, in the event that they weren’t a relentless playoff group and/or made the Tremendous Bowl two seasons in the past, would we now have gotten extra sound bites from Sirianni simply tearing into his followers, which additionally occur to be among the most devoted in the entire NFL?

I do suppose so. However fortunately for him he’s bought himself a good soccer group proper now.

Both method, once more, that is the pinnacle coach of a NFL franchise. I don’t know what these followers had been screaming at him all sport, however I can’t think about how unhealthy it may have been in a VICTORY that will trigger him to show round and provides them as a lot consideration as he did.

However hey, he apologized so it’s all god, proper?

Rookie TE Brock Bowers is the true deal simply six video games into his first skilled season

Michael:

Okay in order a former tight finish I completely liked Bowers popping out of this yr’s draft. He truthfully was a lot greater than a decent finish although. The dude was an absolute weapon for the Georgia Bulldogs and it didn’t take him lengthy to hit the bottom operating this yr with the Raiders.

Getting into Week 7, he’s presently first amongst all tight ends within the NFL with 384 receiving yards. He’s additionally tied for THIRD amongst ALL PLAYERS within the league with 37 receptions. If the Raiders had a greater quarterback, he’d additionally in all probability have greater than only a lone landing, too. First-year tight ends are usually not presupposed to be this good! However right here we’re!

The one factor I want wasn’t part of actuality is that it was a former Chargers basic supervisor who drafted him to a divison rival, that means I’ve to observe this man dominate up shut for the following 10-12 years.

Thanks Tom Telesco!

RJ:

Taking a look at what Bowers has finished is de facto astonishing to this point up to now in his younger profession. I do know it is a delicate topic for fantasy gamers (and Falcons followers — particularly those who’re additionally UGA followers), nevertheless it looks like he’s the whole lot that we needed Kyle Pitts to be.

It truly is attention-grabbing how this hasn’t gotten a ton of nationwide pop given the discourse round tight ends. I suppose the discourse is that massive to the place it may well bury a few of this, nevertheless it additionally doesn’t assist that Bowers is prospering for a Las Vegas Raiders group that’s largely forgettable.

I’m very right here for Brock Bowers resuscitating the tight finish place and taking us to a brand new world. Let it’s finished.
