Weapon X Mailbag: Will Nick Sirianni have a more balanced offense than Doug Pederson? – Bleeding Green Nation

61 days.

Lets get to the questions...

WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR LOKI AND I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE

No. Throwing the ball wasnt just an Andy Reid philosophy. It wasnt just a Doug Pederson philosophy. Its an Eagles organizational philosophy. Jeffrey Lurie wants to be on the next frontier of the football world and he wants the Eagles to be a pass-heavy team. Did we already forget him reportedly being mad about the team running the ball too much in an emotional win at Lambeau Field in 2019?

The Eagles will never run the ball as much as you, your annoying uncle, an angry dude in your Twitter replies, or a fool who calls into sports radio wants. Thats a top-down outlook on NFL offense, one that extends from Lurie to Howie Roseman to whoever is the head coach.

The Colts had an effective backfield in 2020, using Jonathan Taylor as a feature back with Nyheim Hines working as a pass-catcher. If you asked an Eagles fan who wants to run the ball more if the Eagles should use Miles Sanders the way Indy used Taylor, the answer would be a resounding yes. Taylor averaged 17.8 touches per game last year. Sanders averaged 16. Its not the difference you think.

This is the offense. This has been the offense for the entire time Ive followed the team. Fans have had over 20 years to get used to a pass-heavy offensive attack.

The idea of taking components of Baltimores offense, a heavy rushing attack featuring Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, and J.K. Dobbins, intrigues me. Would that system work with Jalen Hurts, Sanders, and Kenny Gainwell? I doubt well ever find out.

ANOTHER SPOILERS WARNING, DONT COMPLAIN TO ME LATER

The first person who pops into my head as a just looking at their face will make me explode type is Jack Black in School of Rock. That was just one role, however, just one character. What Tim Robinson has been able to do with a host of different characters in two seasons of I Think You Should Leave, all linked in their absurdity and the way they eschew social norms, is incredible.

I can appreciate the complexity of Karl Havoc, but Im still going to be screaming and falling off the couch even more just looking at Tim say, I DIDNT RIG SHIT! in the Corncob TV sketch.

Credit Card Roulette was a dud. I like John Early. Id suggest checking out his episode of The Characters on Netflix (after obviously watching Robinsons). This one just didnt work for me after two watches. Maybe itll hit later on, but that was the bottom of Season 2.

Coffin Flop is the hardest Ive laughed since I saw the Turbo Team burst onto the screen more than two years ago. The diner scene is up there for me too. What a perfect role for Bob Odenkirk.

Well, theyre from different parts of the multiverse, right? While it was a little throwaway joke, perhaps well see that use of the Infinity Stones (or rather the lack of use) explored as we get into more multiverse craziness in this Decembers Spider-Man film and the Doctor Strange sequel next year.

Does anyone do fan service better than Marvel Studios? While the MCU may not be self-aware tonally at times, they sure are aware of the fervor that oozes (maybe oozes too much) from their fan base. I lean more towards the latter.

Random Thanos note: I need more info on the Thanoscopter!

Why were we robbed of an Alligator Loki vs. Throg battle? This should be a future animated series after they air the What If...? episodes.

I wonder if the inclusion of King Loki (who could also be referred to as Young Loki) as a hint that hell be in an inevitable iteration of the Young Avengers down the line. You already have Katie Bishop, Cassie Lang, Tommy and Bill out there. Its only a matter of time before a movie called Young Avengers makes $2 billion. Maybe Young Avengers vs. Dark Avengers? Make that $2.5 billion.
