Buhhhh-t....
With the Vikings off today. Lots of football on and plenty of good games to chose from.
I'm most excited for?
Fly Eagle fly. I'ma watch me some Joe Milton.
Lol- who?
Former Tennessee vol that once tossed the ball. W/o running start. From flat feet, 3 step drop. The full length of the vols football field. 120 yards in the air.... Or so the legend goes.
Of course, while on the vols roster. Anytime Joe threw a catchable pass within reach of a receiver. Vol fans did the soft golf clap in unison. To say Milton coming was an inaccurate project. Is akin to saying Kyler Murray can't run the koc offense.
Big fat "no shlt Sherlock"...
Joe was acquired, off the cowboy practice squad, only 3 weeks ago. Built like an NBA small forward. Legs like tree trunks. Relatively fast & agile.
The Nick Siriani/ Jalen hurts run & gun offense with Joe Milton under center? Sheeeet... Just tush push every down. Lol. 2 yards, 4 yards, 3 yards, 2 yards. Play after play. Bleeding the game clock.
Of course I exaggerate... But saquan at rb. Milton at running qb- what was called halfback at the beginnings of American football. Bronco Nagurzki style ball. Duluth Eskimo dominance!
Crawl Eagle Crawl- back to the future
Over under on Milton pass attempts today? I'd say? 17. I wonder what the books have? 20? Attempts maybe?
Probably? This will be a 1 off NFL moment. Unless if course- the reports that Milton has greatly improved are more than eagle hyperbole.
Regardless- it'll be Milton vs former Viking QB JJ McNuthin.
A curiosity? A paint drying train wreck?
I have no idea. But. Now that McCarthy had a bye week to get acclimated and confident in the John Harbaugh offense.
I suspect JJ will revert to overconfident idiot ball. But that's a 50/50 proposition. JJ could very well make me cry for mommy today. The eagles have mailed in their effort most of this season.
I did- pick the 6.5 home dog eagles in the pool today. Pure hunch. Hunch that eagle pride vs division rival in front of the Santa haters will light a fire as the home team rallies around the unwanted project QB. My pick is based on that than a pick against JJ. Eagle D has been terrible this season. JJ should have a respectable game.
Sideshow note-
Joe Milton was a wolverine for 3 seasons. Named the starter for 2020. Lost the job after 5 starts. In 2021, Milton transfered to Tennessee. The same year McCarthy arrived in Michigan.
2024 draft- McCarthy was drafted #10. Milton went at #193 to NE Patriots.
Joe? JJ?
JO JO!
