It’s Howie that I don’t like. He botched another draft and this teams future is really shaky now because of his ineptitude. This year's draft? I'd be surprised if it isn't regarded as one of the better drafts of the past decade within a few years. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theme this year seems to be 'let's see what the young guys got'. It's curious how they let Noah Togiai get poached. They know what Rodgers has -- not a lot.

So it's Reagor/Hightower/Watkins and 2nd year JJAW vs Agholor and 1st year JJAW. Honestly which would you prefer? The first by far. You can’t teach speed.

But it’s a fair assumption they are better. Significantly better, like you said? I don’t know how you know that. I think it's a pretty fair assumption. Anything can happen but it seems like a clear upgrade to me. Guess we'll just agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuManu Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 14 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said: I do believe not many of us would have expected to get LeBlanc back if he was subject to waivers. And he did get offers when we released him and he was a free agent briefly. I dont believe he was truly an option. That is a hindsight thing seeing how he turned down other offers to stay here. Vinny Curry probably wants to stay too, but he would have gotten other offers, and with our DE situation we cant risk a guy at that position. We probably could have cut one of the sucky safeties the team is obsessed with like Ford or Epps. Or even Craig James. Who wants a deep reserve from our sucky secondary? We wouldn’t have lost Curry. He’s a lifelong Eagles fan and turned down more money to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 5 hours ago, DEagle7 said: CB, WR, DT are all significantly better than they were last year. And I would argue offensive line is worse. And I want to say not a little worse it is significantly worse. Losing Brooks for an entire year is massive. Plus now you’re relying on a 38-year-old Jason peters with a backup who’s not a former first rounder. And safety imo is still a question mark As Mills is playing the position at the NFL level for the first time since college. In an off-season where there was no mini camps, no preseason and no OTAS. McLeod should be better with slay however he’s also a year older coming off a season where he wasn’t great even with bad corners he also wasn’t great I’d point to the fins game and first half of the giants game at home. Also not go to anoint the wide receivers as significantly better. Because desean at some point is going to get hurt. The rookies are still rookies and one is currently hurt. Jjaw has not proven it in an actual game yet That he’s turned the corner. And alshon who knows what he’s going to be like after his injury. They should be better however everyone was saying the same thing about defensive tackle Last year And I said don’t count your chickens before they hatch because Jackson was coming off a down and there’s always potential for injury which would ruin that. And then it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle45 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think one of the biggest opportunities to stay ahead of the curve in 2020 with the NFL will be in load management. Training camps around the league have been a total farce. I'm no trainer, but it cannot be good to flash into 60 minutes of full contact football, even for the players that maintained excellent cardiovascular fitness in the offseason (not to mention the ones who didn't). I'd want a team of statisticians looking at soft tissue injuries by quarter in a normal year. I'd also want them to isolate the incidence of injuries in players who have missed training camp and jumped into the regular season...and when those injuries occurred. We often see a rotation to maintain energy along the DL. We see personnel changes at skill positions mostly for the the purpose of changing matchups. Otherwise, this is not usually a thing. And it never happens along the OL for the purpose of continuity and synchronization. I wonder if it's time to revisit these conventions, at least for the early weeks of this 2020 season. I'm especially looking at guys like Lane Johnson, Mcleod, Kelce, Ertz, Desean...even Slay. Older, some injury issues, may not often rotate out. If these guys are on the sidelines when some of their core muscles are fatigued and they are highest risk for injury, then they will be preserved. If you really isolate an athlete on tape (take a pitcher as an example), you can really identify when fatigue is setting in and they are risking injury. Granted, that position has been isolated to a science that exceeds anything in the NFL, but one can make an attempt here. Regardless, those 60 minutes are going to hit every team harder than they ever have in NFL history. Some teams are going to approach it as they have every other year. And a few will be open to keeping their stars on the sidelines far more than they otherwise would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
