nice day for Kingsley

Why make these big dudes do things they'll never do in an actual game? It's silly

There was never a time when I thought the league would be satisfied with an odd number of games. 18 games was going to happen, it was just a question of when.

They’ll have to expand the rosters to 60 players when they do that.

 

Sad news, he was struggling for a long time.

AJ Brown got hurt,  missed the playoffs,  the Eagles Lost because of that.  If the Eagles had more WRs,  the Eagles might not have lost that first playoff game.

Brown + Smith + Covey at WR - and no one else - sounds good to you?

Brown is better than any Ravens WR,  but the Ravens had 4 WRs,  not 2,  and all 4 of those WRs were 1st round picks, and they got to the AFC championship game.

It’s clear you’re struggling to read and understand how football teams are built. There’s free agency and trades that can happen instead of spending a 2nd round pick on a receiver. You can also spend a later draft pick on the position as well. Good lord how can you read my post and think it means we carry 3 WRs for all of next season? 
 

We don’t lose because AJ was injured, we were losing to lesser teams while he was healthy lmao.

Yeah, the XFL version didn’t make my head hurt.

Essentially, unless you want to automatically give the opposing team the 35 yard line automatically, the kicking team is being forced to kick the ball in to play. That's a good start to keeping the return in the game.

I think the XFL kicks off from the 30 rather than the 40 - which seems like a more elegant solution to reducing touchbacks.

RIP Mort

The NFL is trying to straddle the line with having meaningful kickoffs, but taking away the aspect that make them fun and trying to concoct some way for them to be exciting without what it needs to be exciting. Either allow running starts back into it and go back the old way or eliminate them. Enough with the half measure garbage.

Not sure if this means no tag. If he's not tagged and the Eagles trade Reddick, look out for the Eagles on this one. But I think he'll cost way more than Reddick, so not sure what's better. Signing a lesser player to more money who's younger. Or signing a better player to less money who's older.

Yeah - was hoping the 17th game would handle the neutral site games and we’d just get another bye (which would help with international travel, ThNF, just better quality football).

It definitely would be easier to just move the NFL kickoff as far back as possible so the ball doesn't go in to the end zone but I kind of like this.

-Can't kick it too deep or it's the 35.

-Can't squib it or it's the 40

-If the kicker does get it to land inside the 20, the returner is going to have to take a gamble of whether it will roll in to the EZ or not. 

-It's going to create a whole new gamesmanship of how kickers kick and probably a whole new specialized kind of kicker who can add extreme backspin to the ball so if it does land at the 5 and the returner gambles, it bounces away from the goal line.

 

 

The Panthers are now the worst franchise in the NFL.

Not sure how Burns can be considered a lesser player. Through 5 years (80 games), he has 46 sacks. Reddick has 58 in 7 years (114 games). Only 12 more sacks in 34 more games. 

I'm taking Burns every time based on his talent level and age.

Reddick was a late bloomer and was not utilized properly until a few seasons ago. Can only really count Reddick from 2020 onward. Reddick has objectively been the better pass rusher over the last few seasons in the NFL. By pretty much every measure. He's been one of the best in the league over that span.

I'd argue that if a player can only be successful in a certain scheme that he's less talented. Brian Burns has been both a 4-3 DE and and odd man front 3-4 OLB and he's averaged over 9 sacks a year. He hasn't had a 2 sack season here and a 17 sack season there. He's getting 8+ sacks every year. One thing the Eagles pass rushers lack is consistency. I'd compare the Eagles pass rush to the Phillies bats. When they are hot, they are hot and when they are cold they are COLD. I want a guy who can give you the same thing week in and week out. That goes across the line. The whole line needs to be be more consistent. 

Mims might be the best athlete in the draft, whew.

Howie better address CB by late April, because there's no way the dude is going to be able to resist going OT in round 1.

Ricks, Ringo, Rodgers, Maddox, Slay, and Bradbury (due for his decent season after a bad season pattern.)
 

I think people are undervaluing our CBs, especially with the dumpster fire that was the defensive scheme and discombobulating last year. If you can replace Maddox/Bradbury with a vet sure.
