IF THI WERE just about the pass-catching skills of Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, there would not be an issue.
It's basically agreed that Ertz has the hands, speed and route-running techniques to be an impact player in the NFL.
On Tuesday at the Eagles' open training session at Lincoln Financial Field, Ertz made a couple of catches that elicited cheers from fans getting their first look at the 2015 Birds.
Still, there is a reason why, entering his third NFL season, Ertz has yet to have the breakout year that's been predicted since he was drafted in the second round in 2013 out of Stanford University.
