rebdog Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 any opinions on this guy? he's fallen off a cliff. he's never been fast, just a tall big body. but Wentz doesn't look to him much anymore....especially in the redzone where you'd think he'd be a prime target. they have other weapons which should get him one on one against smaller CBs consistently. watching their games he doesn't always seem to run hard and fight for position. is this guy washed up before he's even 29?

SNOWBOUND33 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I have him this year and obviously been disappointed the last few weeks. I was never overly impressed watching him when he was with the Bears. He made some great catches for sure. Just not sure what's missing with him.

purplemonster Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Whenever I see this I wonder about the effort of the player. Every play effort. If you see the great receivers there is a lot of hand fighting, selling moves, watching the defenders hips, an elbow here, a little shove, a small pushoff before you jump to catch. If you aren't doing those things you probably aren't making catches. And some guys lose interest if they arent getting the ball. I don't watch Alshon close so I don't really know but that's a suspicion I might have Edited December 6, 2018 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 He was never that big on yardage even last year. Never had a 100-yard game. But he scored 12 times including the playoffs. This year started out with him injured but he was fine when he started up in Week 4. He had 4 TDs over the next four games. But these last five games have been brutal - never more than 48 yards and never scoring. Kinda that all over funk that the Eagles have this year.

Then I believe he showed no interest in staying a Bear. I get wanting to win but his attitude seemed blah from what I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I’ve played him through all this funk. I sat him this week for the playoffs so I’m sure he’ll go 100 and 2 this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain77 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Does this week's game change anyone's opinion on Alshon moving forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a WR1 with a very good QB. He's worth a start next week in what's sure to be a beatdown by the Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well lets revive this here in light of Alshon's coming back to life.... Am I alone in thinking his value is higher with Foles at QB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
