I am not really positive, but I think [and that is a big question mark] that they had two plays called in the huddle. Wentz saw something and changed the play late. That is why the RB shifted. Ertz was going to go in motion to the other side of the field, but Wentz went w/the second option. I think Ertz heard it just as Wentz motioned to him. Smart by Wentz to give him the hand signal, but I think Ertz already realized it.
Either way, I think Wentz saw that he had a numbers advantage on that side of the field and that is why he changed the play to the second option.
Oh, and there was another good segment about Howie Long's sons doing a ton of charity work. I didn't catch it all, but I believe I heard that Myles Garrett was part of the group trying to get people water sources in Africa. Pretty classy.
I agree w/Diam that it would be nice to hear more of these kind of stories rather than all the negative crap.
One of Long’s kids just donated his entire years salary to a foundation for .... 1 million ..... crap ... i think it was for minority kids ... i’ll Go get the article ....
AWESOME STUFF ... i’ll Go see if i can find the article ...
They started a foundation ...
Yeah, he did. Freaking awesome! It was the Philly Long who donated the money. I think his brother and Myles are the dudes assisting him w/the getting clean water to people in Africa.
Very impressive stuff. Howie and his wife done good.
Chris Long's 2017 game-check donations just his latest commitment to education Sending money to help with hometown education isn't anything new for the NFL veteran
Chris Long is doing his part to increase learning equality in Charlottesville after pledging to donate the remaining 10 game checks of his 2017 season toward education organizations in three cities, but it's not as if aiding students in his hometown hasn't been common practice for the 32-year-old Philadelphia Eagles defensive end.
In fact, Long's first contributions to Charlottesville, which he said are meant to provide all-expenses-paid educations at St. Anne's-Belfield School, came well before the former first-round draft pick donated his first six checks of the year -- a commitment to education at a time the city was recovering from an infamous white supremacist rally.
"It's always been important to him, and him and his wife had already been sending scholarships to Charlottesville for about six years," Nicole Woodie, who manages The Chris Long Foundation, told CBSSports.com. "With the current state of our nation and what Chris and his wife, Megan, feel strongly about, he just felt more compelled to be a little more public with his giving."
About six years ago, Long was still playing for the St. Louis Rams, who made him the second overall pick of the 2008 draft. It was with the Rams when the veteran pass rusher earned the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, simulated being homeless with teammate William Hayes and founded the Waterboys initiative for building clean water wells in African communities. That came after a college career at the University of Virginia and a four-star track record at St. Anne's Belfield, where Woodie said the Longs provided funds for at least one student scholarship per year.
All along, Woodie added, Long has preached using his platform to make change in the community, and that is doubly the case in his current Pledge 10 for Tomorrow campaign, which has already elicited more than $180,000 in matching donations from fans, businesses and fellow athletes.
"He really sees the opportunity," Woodie said, echoing Long's mentality. "Like, 'When I retire, if I give $5, it's $5. But right now, we're inspiring our fans and other folks as an NFL player, and no matter how you feel about certain things in the world, we can all agree that the future of our nation lies within our youth.'"
The part about the clean water in Africa is in there ...
We need to hear more of this ... what a great guy ...
I find what Long and others are doing much more effective than kneeling. Great guy!!!! This is the kinda stuff that makes you proud to be an American!!!
OMG! Wentz is looking like a true stud. Did you see that throw?????? Wow!!!!
The dude can sling it. He is a gamer and an overall great person. Making a big jump in year 2 in my opinion. I don't know if he will be elite but will be a darn good one.
How is it the idiot fans with no real nfl experience can just know by watching a player that they have that special talent and yet the smart guys getting paid millions seem clueless? We see it over and over and over no matter who we hire. My God Jimmy would be better off having a online fan based draft with majority votes making the picks.
To be fair his reluctance to run the ball, which got him in the dog house with Pettine and fans here, did contribute to the greatest Super Bowl comeback of all time. Shanny Jr. is a genius, but he's not infallible.
The Browns FO didn't think that Wentz was a top 20 qb.
I have to correct you on that one bro since I have seen that posted several times. Paul DePodesta didn't think he was a top 20. It wasn't the entire front office.
But, I thought he said he was just an observer that first year?
Bro, I know you get inside info. No doubt about it. But, I'm not sure you get the right info. You get what they give you. Just like when Farmer was here. We went back and forth, but the info you had from either him or his spokesperson was pretty much lame. He sucked ass!
Funny you mention mouse. 2 nights ago I walked in the kitchen and saw a mouse run. I walked back through the living room and headed into the garage to get a mousetrap. Wife asked what I was doing. Getting a mousetrap, cause I just saw a mouse.
"no you didn't. You're joking. Don't get a trap." Ok. And I didn't.
This morning my wife was all "I saw the mouse. SET A TRAP!!!"
I haven't watched much of the MNF game, but it seems like Terrelle Pryor has had a rough night based on what the announcers are saying and what I've seen on Twitter.
Sashi Brown couldn't build a team on the old vibrating football game from the 70s Him and Farmer have really set this franchise back 4 5 years Total idiots
No offense, but I know you are dead wrong on his reluctance to run the ball. Shanny made a real commitment to run the ball.
I think you probably have that fact confused w/his replacement.....Flip. He was the guy who refused to run the ball.
I really can't remember Shanny's history here all that well, but I do remember his passing attack becoming one dimensional once JG came back, and it was very PA fake heavy.
