Oil Can Dan said:I don't have a problem with the hit. Technically Foles was pursuing the runner, so to me he put himself into the play and should therefor be blockable. Yeah, the tackle was made a split-second before the hit occurred, but it's a fast game. That said, if it were Manning or Brady instead of Foles then I suspect we'd see a different take on this from both the refs and the league office. But I'm a little tin-foily when it comes to the league office.
I'm excited to see Tobin at LG this week. I think he and Peters can open up the running game on the left side of the line a little. They liked Tobin enough to entertain trading Mathis, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs over the next 6-8 weeks.
Also hoping Matthews continues to build off his nice game last week. If Brock misses the game he'll have a huge size advantage on his replacement in the slot.
If that was Peyton or someone got hurt then it would be a huge deal. It's Foles and he got up so it's fine.
This should not be a results based response. They seem incapable of learning this. In this and many areas.
I agree re Tobin, but the loss of Kelce is bad. Without that they would be looking at having line 1A for week 5 (Peters, Tobin, Kelce, Herremans, Johnson as you say they like Tobin a lot). But Molk from Kelce is a big deal.
