Message: [QUOTE="Symphony Steve, post: 1334437, member: 911"] Are the Redskins in the NFC East? Why, yes, yes they are. So Ertz torched the Redskins. While the game didn't impact the standings, that doesn't mean the game is meaningless, even if you say it is. The 'Skins have to account for Ertz. 58 catches is a good number, especially in an offense that spreads things around. Brett Celek will likely take on more of a blocking role, and Ertz' stats will likely improve. Unlike, say, Mark Witten's. Age is a great equalizer. Don't get me wrong. It's not as if any of this is a slam-dunk for the Eagles. But I think you're not being realistic in your assessment of the quality of Ertz, or the impact he could well have this year. What, exactly, do you see in the current state of the Redskins' secondary to make you think that they will not be vulnerable to a pass-catching TE going forward? [/QUOTE]
