I feel like we need to get both of those guys involved in the offense as much as any other player, because they're the move the sticks type guys that can make an offense very efficient. It's fun to watch Celek drag 3-4 guys like he's Larry Csonka or something.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085850538234303845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-49291528770371909762009-10-02T23:11:05.456-04:002009-10-02T23:11:05.456-04:00It seems that when Kolb came in Celeks catches wen...It seems that when Kolb came in Celeks catches went up but Avants catches went down. We know that McNabb likes to go to Avant so I wonder if Celek will still get as much attention when he comes back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359075293334769985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-67954817532004398162009-10-02T12:39:30.067-04:002009-10-02T12:39:30.067-04:00If we can get 7 to 10 yards consistently on a Cele...If we can get 7 to 10 yards consistently on a Celek pass play, why wouldn't we just continue to throw to him until the defense adjusts to shut it off.<br /><br />Or if you don't want to run on first down, why not a 7 to 10 yard pass to Celek. It seems to me the Eagles offense gets itelf into trouble by trying to go long to much on first and second down. But a conservative, high completion percentage 7 to 10 yarder with some big RAC potential, do that a bunch on first and second down and some things will open up down the field.izzylangfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329253927324394561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-63895510039853486072009-10-02T10:56:09.657-04:002009-10-02T10:56:09.657-04:00I'm not talking about scheming your defense to...I'm not talking about scheming your defense to stop Celek. I'm just saying the LBers from other teams are going to be told in practice and the film room now "Look for 87." That's a lot more attention than he's probably garnered in the past. <br /><br />And it's not just the number of receptions Celek is getting (which would be due to Kolb's reliance on him, like you said), but what he's doing <i>after</i> the catch. Defenses will have to pay more attention because he's getting a reputation for RAC'n it up.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620157295698136927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-14732851825456287262009-10-01T20:55:23.706-04:002009-10-01T20:55:23.706-04:00I don't think anyone will start gameplanning f...I don't think anyone will start gameplanning for Celek. I think they've been gameplanning for DeSean, and that's leaving Celek open. DeSean is Celek's best friend when it comes to keeping the safeties deep and opening up the middle.<br /><br />Celek's numbers are also higher thanks to Kolb starting 2 of the 3 games. Young quarterbacks tend to throw to the TEs more, I remember when Chad Lewis was McNabb's favorite reciever, and actually led our team in recieving yards one year (going off memory here - hope this is correct).<br /><br />I'm very happy with Celek. He's looking very similar to Lewis (but with better YAC) and he seems to have chemistry with Kolb equal to what Lewis had with McNabb.<br /><br />At RS, I could easily see Westbrook delegated to that role in the future if Maclin doesn't make gains as a returner. It might actually extend his career a la Brian Mitchell if he's willing to do it. I'm sure the Eagles would love to keep him around as a backup / dedicated returner, but I don't know if Westbrook would want that role.tobylovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662414218591159463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-67895112543114682742009-10-01T20:19:43.389-04:002009-10-01T20:19:43.389-04:00Still can't believe Trot is "only" 3...Still can't believe Trot is "only" 32. That's weird. <br /><br />I assume our opponents will start preparing better for Celek and that will limit how many passes he gets. But that's ok, because if Celek is drawing more attention, DeSean and Westbrook are a little less covered. I love our offense.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620157295698136927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-66631106945142683252009-10-01T19:01:43.029-04:002009-10-01T19:01:43.029-04:00Bravo on the sneaky Celek/Selleck reference...Bravo on the sneaky Celek/Selleck reference...Baloophihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192541259692148297noreply@blogger.com
