You might want to go watch his tape from last season

No thanks, I'm already sick to my stomach.

He's trash, he's had a couple games here and there where he wasn't totally horrible but that doesn't makeup for all the bad ones including the horror show that was today.

He was really bad today and if he's has to play any substantial amount of time the eagles Re really going to have a tough time win by in offense.

Personally I'd chuck Steen out there, he played tackle in college.

Or if Fred Johnson. Can play on the right side chuck him out there but I've seen all I need to from Driscoll to know Im done with him and I came to that conclusion a while ago. Today just confirms it for me

Wait what? I'm talking about Steen. Who are you talking about?

I thought he play well at tackle in college. Eagles seem to view him as the future starting RG

I don't think he's starter material, his value is he can technically play all 5 positions in a pinch, but if he sucks at them all who cares🤷‍♂️

I'm just done with Driscoll, if he was from BYU he'd have been run out of town years ago...

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about Driscoll, my bad 

Yeah Steen was a tackle in college, I'd rather he get a shot at RT than driscoll 

I've been out in driscoll for a couple years now

Yea Driscoll sucks

The first run to the left after Lane went down Driscoll gave up immediate penetration and Swift was tackled for a loss. If he’s out there next week it’s a problem.

I just had to start a topic about that guy.  Hard to believe a pro could be that bad.  Not really his fault in that he is a natural guard not tackle.  He is not a wide-body.  More the squat guard type.  Very disappointed in Stoutland  that he couldn't develop somebody, ANYBODY other than that turkey.  Surely Ed Johnson, Steen or even LaRaven Clark could be better.  He was an embarassment.  

He’s the offensive equivalent of Jobe.  Saying both of them are liabilities is an enormous understatement.  The one play where a DE ran past him and he just put his arms up like, "I really don’t know how to stop ANYONE” was telling.

Hope the focus on OLINE in the draft, the defense has not been as bad as thought but our Oline is getting old in spots

Yup I've wondered the same thing 

He's trash at tacke and at guard he's just not physical enough, I remember a couple years back he took some snaps at center but nothing ever really materialized.

 I mean with Jurgens hurt if kelce goes down I'm not even sure who the backup center is 🤷‍♂️

Hopefully going forward they won't have as many injuries as they have these last few weeks and guys can get healthy.

Dickerson was seen snapping the ball in preseason and in a few practices, he makes the most sense since he played C at Alabama. Issue of course being he's one of the best LG's in the NFL so you don't want to move him, plus dude is a monster at 6'5" 330-340lbs, Hurts crouched down to receive Kelce's snap with Dickerson, and Hurts wouldn't be able to see the field.  

 Hurts had the lefty Creed Humphrey at OK, he's 6'4, but only 305 lbs...., btw, Hurts has been lucky to have Humphrey and Kelce as his C's over the last 4.5-5 years.  They're both top 5 Centers and Kelce is a HOF'er. 

We need  more oline help, when Kelce and Johnson retire it will get ugly

I didn't think Driscoll played particularly well last season when he filled in. What compounds issues to me is when you have a backup playing right next to another backup (Opeta). That's why things went so wrong in 2020 on the O-line. We can usually plug in one guy and it's not terrible. But two side by side can get ugly fast. 

Agreed, Opeta didn't look great either. The commentators blamed Driscoll during one play and it was Opeta getting blown by on that play. It doesn't help they also played one of the better defensive fronts in the league

Yes but he has the body and physical traits of a center towelboy in the NFL

FYP

At Nick's Presser, he said a couple of times that "we've won some games with Jack playing for us". Or something to that affect. Yeah so what? He still stinks. Try someone else, or your QB and RB's may be getting killed. 
 

Anyone know how good the Dolphins DLine is?

Does it even matter? No way Eagles beating the Dolphins anyway...

Pretty rare to see a Stoutland project digress like this.  He looked terrible in camp, worse in the preseason and has continued that trend into the regular season.  That being said, I expect them to stick with him for at least another game - assuming Lane can't go.

I'd prefer to give Fred Johnson a chance first. Driscoll might be what you sometimes get when you cross-train a guy to be a versatile backup. If he does get the start again in the next game, he may do a little better simply from getting 1st team reps in practice. 

Lane is a big loss.  Ball has to come out quicker now.  Safe 7-10 yard throws to anyone.  Just move the chains.  Will be able to run too so these long drives we like are the way to go.  Don’t ask the right side of our line to do too much.

So is the secondary. At least there’s a mix of younger offensive linemen, but the secondary is basically two old guys, two injury prone guys, and a yearly replacement player. The last time they addressed the secondary with a high pick was Sidney Jones.
