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. 

One thing to keep in mind too is that Rodgers is a top kick returner. If these new rules go in to effect, he's going to have a big role.

And he can play inside at slot pretty well. If we keep both him and Maddox we should feel a lot better about our dime and Maddox injury issues.

Slay-CB1

Ringo-CB2

Rodgers-Slot

Ricks/Rookie- CB3.

Jobe- CB4

They move Maddox for a late round draft pick. Bradberry is cut. McPhearson is cut and back on the PS. Garner is moved to safety

 

Time to hang them up, Jason. 

IF Rodgers can still play, I’d be surprised if he’s anything but slot. I know he played outside in Indy but that was due to circumstance. I don’t care that PFF had him 6th best coverage grade 2 years ago playing outside, he didn’t even play 50% of the defensive snaps.

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.

Quality better than quantity in this case. Too greedy.

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. 

I don't know about that. The Cardinals were playing him at inside linebacker, where he had no real opportunity to go after the QB, which is clearly his strength. It was obviously an example of setting a player up to fail. 

Add Jeff Kerr to the "I’ve heard CJGJ/Eagles…” list.

this seems like an obvious smokescreen at this point. When’s the last time this many people heard/knew Eagles FA plans more than a week in advance? That’s like the 6th person to say the same exact thing. When bottom feeders like Eskin are saying it, it’s probably bs.

The scheme won't be much different 

Laviska Shenault would be a nice versatile 4th WR. Shouldn’t cost much. Paris Campbell and Mecole might be decent options for under $5m/year as well.

This would mean they’re trying to take the high speed collision out of the kickoff return in the interest of player safety, yet keep the ball in play.  It seemed convoluted on first reading but it’s actually pretty interesting in theory.  
 

Now, tell the officials to quit throwing flags on every kickoff return, and we’re getting somewhere

I think the implementation and teaching of the scheme will be vastly different. I don’t love the Fangio defense, but it’ll be more connected and cohesive this season, at least I hope.

I dont agree. Shenault is a major bust.

Based on what’s happened in the past I don’t see it. Too much trash taking the fans/org.

They totally got fleeced in that deal. 

I guess Garrett Greenfield is out in the open now with a 38'' vertical for an OT.

Jeff Stoutland running the drills at the combine atm.

Fleeced means to rob another party by deceit or trickery.  The Panthers stupidity in believing a 5’10 and 180 lb QB, without blazing speed or a rocket arm is worthy of the #1 overall draft pick is more insanity or gross incompetence.

Stroud having an excellent first season just adds to the comedic value of the Panthers’ ineptness.  They drafted Young because he’s "really smart”, but 300+ lb NFL DL players can outrun and outhit smart players.

So teams are kicking off from their opponents 40?  That's not very far to kick it or am I reading it wrong?

You’re reading it right.  They want a kickoff return more than they want 90% touchbacks, but they think the medical data points to increased injuries on kickoff returns because of high speed collisions.  By not allowing the coverage team to move until the ball is kicked, it sets up a 30-yard pop-fly kickoff that’s returnable without the return man getting blown up at the catch point.  A low-speed play, but still keeping the ball in play.

Major bust? I’d say Reagor and JJAW are insanely higher busts than him. 
 

He could be a weapon/gadget player. Getting screens, YAC situation, blocking and some rushes here and there. Man y’all have some insane standards for a 4th WR. 6’1 220. Solid Short yardage player.

You enjoy fighting for Shenault. Have at it.

I’d rather the Eagles sign a safety for 30 mil a year than bring back CJGJ

The way he talked after he left Philly I don’t want him back
