Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Ertz not only agrees with Kelly's assessment of Celek's ability, but also went as far as to suggest New Orleans Saints All-Pro Jimmy Graham would find snaps hard to come by in the Eagles' offense.

"Probably not, to be honest," Ertz said, of a hypothetical role for Graham. "I don't want to take anything away from Jimmy, but the things I've seen, he is more of a pass-catching tight end. In this offense we are a run-first team and we don't sub because we go at (a fast pace)."

See ya in January!

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Hahahahahahahaha. Okay. Keep telling yourselves that. I'm sure Chip Kelly would be more than happy to have Graham.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Pretty silly. I know he can block but why would you want him blocking all the time when he's so good at catching. That's like saying we don't need Deon to pick balls off, we need him to tackle.

Lmao, yeah I'm sure Chip Kelly would play you over Jimmy. Puff puff pass.

What's an ertz and who cares what some other coach says?

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Perfect analogy!

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Could you imagine Graham in Kelly's offense? He'd trade Celek and Ertz for Jimmy Graham and wouldn't blink an eye.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

This dude is trippin' hard. :hallucinate:

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

I hope Jimmy is getting angry

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Is it because he can't block?

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Green Bay just dropped a 50-burger on ya', Zach ... and Mark Sanchez is your QB ... ya' probably got bigger worries and making comparisons with someone else's TE (one of the best) after you've been benched for Celek just makes you look petty, bro. :rolleyes:

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

:bugeyes: Wait, do you mind repeating that I'm sure I didn't hear you right.

Sure, "Jimmy Graham would find snaps hard to come by in the Eagles' offense.
"
I thought that's what you said :roflmao:

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Last I saw Jimmy Graham graded middle of the pack for blocking among TE's. So that can't be it.

I really like Ertz and Celek and that duo is probably better than the combo of Graham and Watson.

But the best TE among those 4 is easily Jimmy Graham. Its not even close.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Having Mark Sanchez at QB would limit anyone's impact.

Plus the eagles run first mentality has them ranked 11th in the league, we are 6th.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

And with our 3 best RB's injured for several games each.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Graham is the best TE in the league outside of Gronkowski.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Let them have him. We rely too much on Jimmy Graham and at critical moments, he disappoints.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

An ertz is one cycle.
One cycle too many.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

JImmy doesn't line up too often as our TE either. We need to make it official and move him to WR. A receiving core of Graham, Cooks, Morgan and Stills looks good on paper. I love Colston and he really showed up in the playoffs last year but we need more RAC yardage and he doesn't break too many tackles anymore.

Re: Zach Ertz: "Graham wouldn't see the field for the Eagles"
 

Just another player talking smack, he would fit better out in Seattle.
