Yesterday, Jimmy Kempski wrote a piece titled “Eagles need Zach Ertz to start playing like a tight end.” In typical Kempski fashion, it used video evidence to support Kempski’s claim that Ertz plays scared (or at least weak), often diving on the ground of flopping on the turf when defenders close in on him. This is similar to Dan’s critique. “On Ertz’s 15 receptions,” Kempski wrote, “he is averaging a paltry 2.3 yards after the catch, which is 40th in the NFL out of 41 tight ends with at least 10 receptions.” It’s “simply not acceptable when you’re a 6’5, 250-pound tight end,” Kempski concluded. Ertz’s agent didn’t like that (if he read it).

Steve Caric fired off a series of tweets at Kempski last night, attempting to call him out on calling his client out. The tweets, first gathered by Philly Influencer, come off less as an agent defending his client and more as the crybaby hissy fit of a grown man not getting his way:

HERE’S EVIDENCE FROM A YEAR AGO TO PROVE YOU WRONG.” Agents shouldn’t tweet. Though I suspect this is the sort of data agents use in contract negotiations.
