Parsons-you gotta look at that also as well as Justin Simmons

Yeah I’m never usually about trading multiple first round picks for a player but for Parsons? My yea you do it. Go all in to win another SB or two in the next 2-3 years.

Simmons is also a no brainer. Need the depth and experience at S.

Parsons is definitely a no-brainer. Add him to the DL and it will be the TERROR of the NFL LOL while also making the secondary even more of an efficient TO machine.

What young stud RB is excellent pass blocking? Not many. But please note Shipley picked up the blitz today with an excellent block. Clearly his skills revolve more around playmaking. He’s been doing great receiving per reports so far this TC.

You seem to be saying that the fact that they don’t have excellent pass protection proficiency is okay. Just give them a pass and use them hoping your QB doesn’t get injured. Is that what you are saying? Or should a young stud RB be kept on the sideline until he shows consistent pass pro ability?

If there was ever a situation where I’m not judging a player for not producing? Shipley rookie season would be the poster for how a talented player just can’t get touches.

Can’t get touches until he learns to pass block. Do you want Hurts to get injured?

Sounds like Kendall Lamm is doing well at T

I was sort of hoping he would start the year on IR if both Lane and Mailata were/are healthy. He would be eligible to come back from IR after Week 4.

That would save a roster spot.

Why 1 year" He is already proven

1 year so he can get his ring on his existing contract terms. Then sign a UFA contract for the 30+

Look at the new owner’s track record. How have his Sixers done?

Don’t discount the culture we have. Parsons comes with a bunch. He’s going to be a very vocal leader. Think the character and makeup of our team should not be overlooked. But….he’s a heck of a player.

I’m saying the majority of NFL RB didn’t enter the NFL fantastic blockers. Not what gets these guys drafted for the most part even.

Serviceable….I’d say would be enough. He’s so much more a threat as a playmaker….that does give some trade off. If you don’t count for him? He’s going to bust you. You’ll see….easily confident from my side of things.

He can pass block serviceably…the actual blocking part. Now how well he learned and understood how the blocking assignments worked in every scenario? I couldn’t attest to.

I think he’s probably number two on the depth chart. He not only could make the 53….but dress on game days.

I really feel we should add Simmons. Brown seems "fragile",Mukuba COULD be ready, but that is not guaranteed and we could use the depth anyway. He would also reunite with Fangio,so Vic already knows what he's getting

What's your opinion on Parsons, as far as a vocal leader, would he be a locker room or on field disruption?

10 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:

I think he's too vocal for my liking. It's sometimes a thin line between leader and arsewad. He's a great player, no doubt. The inept stupidity of the Dullaz FO sometimes makes players reactions seem worse or more bitter. I mean Jerruh historically is not a "people person". One can push mild mannered people to become outraged morons, or making them appear to be jerks. Thus is the Dullaz culture. That's the best NON answer I can give 😆 What do you think?

That's a well-rounded complete answer. Tanks!

Gainwell was reliable and trusted by Siri. So ok…he got the second string duties. But….even with Gainwell having a fantastic TC last year….it took all that from him to hold off Shipley. I really doubt Gainwell was still deserving to be ahead Shipley after just a couple of games in.

Why do you keep talking about Gainwell or years past? It's 2025 now...move on!

I’m glad you have come around to appreciating the culture Sirianni has instilled in this team right from Day One in Year One.

The players clearly buy into that culture.

It is just so fascinating how on brand everyone in the locker room is. They are 1,000% bought in, and it shows. To me, this is beyond a team. Its a culture that takes years to build and helps everyone around them get better.

The patriots had something similar, but far more robotic. The Eagles feels alive.

I agree with you about his attributes, but if he can’t pass protect effectively, then his coming in for one or more snaps telegraphs a message to the opposing Defense that the play call is going to be a run, and they adjust their Defense accordingly.

It is the opposite of what happened to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. With virtually every play call a pass, Fangio adjusted the Eagles Defense accordingly. Same pendulum, just swung to the opposite extreme.

Dress but not play unless there is an in game injury to one of the two starters. Mailata is the number two OT. Lamm is at best number three.

It is a risk arbitrage situation. You calculate what the risk is of Lane or Mailata getting injured in games 1-4. Then you ask yourself what your options other than Lamm are if that low risk reality actually happens. Matt Pryor is more than serviceable as both a backup zOG and a backup OT. So the absence of Lamm, while not ideal, is also not problematic.

If he can’t pass protect pass block serviceably, why is he getting RB3 touches while Dillon gets RB2 touches?
