Not buying that. When you look horrible you make adjustments and that never happened at ALL. If you are failing at vanilla,you'd better try some butter pecan

In the "who cares who QB 3 is" competition, I can truly say, after watching, is "I don't care". For a QB with experience T-R was horrible. At least McCord has a rookie excuse and neither even got me to the right amount of "whelming". Both were under. There was nothing special about special teams. If you replaced them all it would not bother me a bit. Outclassed in every aspect. Supposed to be seeing players separate from the packs to win jobs and I'm not seeing it(maybe ASmith). Still clear as mud. I hope the staff has more info than I saw. the Makuba pick was the days highlight. Most of the rest were lowlights. It was so thrilling I even dozed off for a few mins LOL. The first pre game actually showed me more. From a fan perspective, my takeaway today was "needs major overhaul" or "back to the drawing board" which I was not expecting to say today. And while there were no expectations of a superbly polished machine, the gear grinding I saw today was a little alarming. At some positions you may as well draw straws to see who stays, or have a monkey throw darts at a dartboard. Even Dillon was underwhelming. I was severely disappointed overall. Makuba and Campbell were worth their draft spots(but they should be). The rest of "the clan" was just poor

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-browns-preseason-takeaways-dillon-gabriel-has-solid-day-in-debut-philly-appears-to-have-rookie-star/ So after I posted I found this. This writer was not too happy either. My main takeaway was the Browns have a nice little WR in Thrash

Vanilla is not the problem, EXECUTING vanilla WAS

IMO ASmith did enough(finally) to get a spot. Wilson looked fine when he played so he should be in. So for me AJ. Smitty, Dotson, Wilson, ASmith. Pick your last roster spot and one for the PS

Eagles-Browns preseason observations: Position battle upd...

The Birds are now 1-1 in the preseason.

"Montrell Johnson Jr. was the second running back to take carries. He ran with some juice, just like he did earlier in training camp before missing time due to injury.

Keilan Robinson was the third running back to touch the ball." From the above article. my takeaway is who gives a ish at RB. Dillon probably stays since we [paid him(although I can't see why at this point". MJ has maybe the most promise(JMO),but there is no point if he can't stay on the field. With a horrible lack of offensive production I don't see how decisions can be made(aka as pick who you want on the PS) Vert lackluster performance today. Gotta be some real head scratching going on for the staff with literally NOTHING to go on. IDK what did anyone else see? Because I didn't see enough to make any decisions by. Not that I have any control, but lord there is ZERO way to make decisions when everyone sucks

Sounding really bad. I’m not getting the game but checked in on some play by play. Eagles looking like 💩

It was horrible

Probably the people making decisions are going by practice...not so much the preseason games

With both QB's playing like a hot mess, the WR's had no chance to show why they should separate from the pack to earn a spot. None had any chance to shine

They have no choice after today LOL. As fans we don't get to see that, so I can only go by what I see personally. My boy MJ hasn't played enough really to know what to do with/about him. According to Ham we got spanked in practices with them also

It’s a teaching moment. Fangio isn’t all about utilizing his best in PS to shut things down. But now he has all that film to teach on. That’s the way all teams are really in the PS. Guess you’ve missed that these last several decades.

Sadly been going on the two joint practices before this. Hurts wasn’t looking any better. "Outclassed by the Browns” think that even means quite a bit more to the two of us.

There goes McKees trade value. Not totally in the dumpster…but it came back down to Earth for sure.

Didn’t some pose the question of how that could happen? There you go.

Hopefully our guys put in some real hard work so they can be as good as the Browns.

Another load of BS LMAO. You are making decisions about your team for the next 18 weeks and hopefully the SB. There are no teaching moments for the CUT players,you are deciding who stays and who goes. This isn't camp practice. IDK where you have been the past several decades. Trucking fertilizer from cow farms is my guess and you are more than qualified,or maybe pumping septic tanks is more your style

There is no trade value because we aren't trading him

Probably not now. If he just looked decent…but that ship sailed. Saints might still. Of course they could be in the Arch Manning sweepstakes instead.

Interesting how you mentioned two things more likely to occur in rural North Cacalaki than where I live

88 yards of total O is worrisome. It’s the third straight struggle against the Browns this PS. Siri and Patullo better step it up.

Not many teaching moments left before the opener. So based on what you saw today, who is QB3? RB4(or PS)? WR6,7(PS)? Who is your starting CB opposite Q? Are you wasting valuable time teaching the guys you're going to cut? Who do you invest your time in right now?
