Under appreciated and less noticeable skills...

WR blocking...Sterling Shepard was amazing today. The late 2nd quarter run where Barkley cut across the field....incredible effort and execution.

In fact him and Odell have always been more than solid in that area. More than glad we have those types of guys on this team.
just watched the NFL-produced highlights of today's game -

Shepard had two amazing blocks - not just the downfield one, but on SB's long TD run Shepard pulled into the hole in the middle of the line and took out the CB, freeing SB for the long run.

Google the highlights of today's game and watch the NFL's 8-minute version - the announcers point out the great block.

And the downfield one was great too. Plus a TD.
Shep was on fire all day.

His blocking was evident all day and his effort was noticeable. I loved it when he hugged Shurmur. I'll take a player like him any day. This team is learning how to win.

blew up Norman. For me that qualifies him for player of the game!
I think he knew that was Norman

and wanted to clean clock.
That's something that Gettleman appreciated back when he

was with Carolina.
Yep, and OBJ blocks aggressively,

I think knowing Saquon is running give them a bit more incentive. They all lobe the kid and know he can take one at anytime.
I believe this is the ALL IN

attitude DG and Shurmur were striving for.
Sometimes less talented teams can outperform if they ALL can pull together with the right focus.
PS has his coaching weaknesses but we are seeing his strength.
