Reuben Frank started regular columns called “Roob’s 25 Random Points“. I love the columns. Check out these blurbs.
4. Speaking of Foles, out of 43 quarterbacks who’ve thrown at least 100 passes since opening day of last year, only four have thrown fewer interceptions per pass attempt than Foles. Here’s the top five: Tom Brady (one every 75.7 attempts), Peyton Manning (one every 65.1 attempts), Aaron Rodgers (64.0), Robert Griffin III (62.6), Kevin Kolb (61.0), Nick Foles (59.0). And before you dismiss the list because Kolb is on it, Kolb’s issues weren’t accuracy, they were durability. He just couldn’t stay healthy. Foles so far seems to have that toughness you really like in a QB. The harder he gets hit, the faster he pops up. I like that.
To be fair, Foles has had several INTs dropped. Still, that is a very encouraging stat.
5. OK, don’t laugh. Here’s a list of most Eagles interceptions over the last three years: Kurt Coleman (six), Nnamdi Asomugha (four), Jamar Chaney (three), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (three), Asante Samuel (three). Look for Brandon Boykin to sit atop that list soon, but for now … it’s just sad.
Sad? Seems like a major understatement. I’d go with…very sad.
You also get Roob’s thoughts on the Jonas Brothers and a mention of Luke and Laura’s wedding. Younger readers won’t have an idea about the latter item, but I remember it well.
“Did you guess correctly the last Eagle to catch two TDs in a fourth quarter? It was Dameane Douglas in the Eagles-Bucs game on the final day of the 2001 season”
This seems absurdly frustrating…can’t believe it’s been that long, and that example doesn’t really count because it was a game of backups vs backups.
