Iggles_Phan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 1 minute ago, justwinbaby said: They didn't do anything out of the ordinary picking those guys up maybe they did spend more than usual on McLeod. I'd say the Jenkins signing just happened to work out for the Eagles. He was not a top commodity that off-season and they didn't spend a ton getting him and then refused to re-sign him cuz they didn't want to spend an extra half million or something ridiculous. Even with those guys that was nearly 10 years ago now. CJ is the only other S that's been legit I don't understand. Signing players in free agency doesn't count because it wasn't "out of the ordinary"? What does that even mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never done any mountain climbing, but I’ve done my fair share of dangerous things (in my younger days anyway). I realize flying is very safe according to the statistics, but for me it’s just about not being in control of the situation. I don’t know what that pilot was doing the night before (or a few hours before). I don’t really even care for riding shotgun in a car…unless I really trust the driver That's partially why there's two of them. And they're quite heavily vetted usually.

What does that even mean? Just meant the amount of money/draft picks spent getting high level players at a position. Those 2 guys worked out but they didn't spend anything out of the ordinary with Jenkins. They sign LBs in free agency too every off-season.

Ravens edged them out but eagles apparently gave him a somewhat comparable contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me in a tall building and I can't get near a window but I'll stare out of a plane window all day long. The one that gets me is extension ladders. Those things move way too much and the top is not usually secured. Planes are fine, ladders secured to a structure are okay, ladders free standing? Nope.

I know the chances are extremely thin but my worst fear is being in a plane crash. Sit toward the back if you can. There's no guarantee of course but passengers toward the back often fare better than those toward the front. There's a reason that "black boxes" (flight and cockpit voice recorders) are usually located near the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An OC turning around the offense, getting a HC job, and leaving our team without someone to run it is a conspiracy theory? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 1 hour ago, Iggles_Phan said: Are we box score scouting? Name this monster: Only 95 tackles, but 3 sacks, 12 TFLs, 5 QB hits and 1 safety. (in only 12 starts) Here are two truths: 1 - the Eagles back 7 was putrid. 2 - Alex Singleton sucks. These are not mutually exclusive statements. Both can be true at the same time. He obviously doesn’t "suck”. It’s ok to eat crow once in a while. I do it all the time when I’m wrong. Trust me, it will make you feel better. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those recent teams, the ones that were great also had great LB play. Hope Fangio is pounding the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting to see if you figured out who the stud with more sacks, twice as many TFL and a safety is. Way better than Singleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and Morrow was pretty good at times this year - when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
