Re: Week Six of the NFL Regular Season!!!

Yeah, Foles is 6' 6" tall and weighs 245. He's an inch taller than Ben Roethlisberger and a few pounds heavier. He's a big, tough guy. Size and durability are two things you can't coach. You can coach a shorter quarterback and be successful (Drew Brees) but you still want the guy to be durable. Being small and fragile is a bad combination and that's what RGIII looks to be.

I'm surprised at how well Russell Wilson has held up. He's another little, fast guy, but he uses his speed and agility to avoid big hits while RGIII tends to run into collisions. You almost never see a defender get a clean shot on Russell Wilson, but RGIII has taken a lot of big hits. I'm not sure you can coach that out of him. If they can't coach that out of him then his career will be very, very short. I'm not sure I wouldn't have RGIII watching every film of Russell Wilson you could find. There's nothing wrong with running out of bounds and living to play another down over diving for a first down and getting killed.

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!
