The rookies Mukuba and Jihad….actually all the LBs(off ball). Trot and Smael playing good ball. Feeling good about that combination backing things up.

They made a few plays, only 35 more guys to cut. I'm talking about offense

4th string PR is actually interesting. DeJean I really like on PR. But there are 53 roster decisions to make. Can’t just be a PR though…gotta bring other duties to the table. Fourth string PR….right now…might be our main PR this season.

The entire ST squad was horrible. I hope it was just an "off day" but embarrassing at the Linc

You're not canning your 1 and 2 picks anyhow unless you took a LS in round 1

I just don’t know about the Oline….really nobody stepping up. Could go round in round trying to sort through those guys. Had my opinions coming into TC…but Browns made our depth look sketchy.

Yeah alot of spots today had no separation. It's difficult to make cuts when no one does anything. One more pre game left before decision time

I thought we were cutting a bunch of guys who are going to be picked up by other teams....too much talent??

Rosie messed up....so many mistakes LAST YEAR! LAST YEAR IN PARTICULAR.

Look how not having McKee as #2 ruined everything.

We were bad vs them at practices also. One game doesn't mean much as far as other teams picking up cuts. They could have worse players than we cut. I'm sure some will be and some won't. I mean at one point we huddled with no QB at all. Not really a stellar look there was it? If you can't handle that you have alot of issues

So probably reality is setting in.....not all 90 players are so great that it's do difficult to make cuts or that we can just trade all those guys who are going to get cut for picks.

Players need time to develop...these particular guys need time to develop into a " possible NFL backup "

The enthusiasm is always a little misplaced after the draft in thinking everyone is so great.

That's why you don't need to trade and get 12 picks every year because chances are it wi OK just lead to more picks who get cut.

Couldn’t it have? That was a self forced error. McKee was already here. Actually went and traded for Pickett. When Hurts went down….Pickett came in…we did lose that game. But because things ended up not being needed we caught that break. Doesn’t change a forced error into a GM of the Year decision because of everything else though.

Let’s see what else was purely Rosie? Rosie had Bradberry paid and lined up as our starting CB. We won the SB…must mean Bradberry was fantastic and a shutdown CB ..according to your logic.

Bryce Huff signing must have been the steal of FA. That big contract signing clearly was the reason we brought home a parade. Remember those plays he made in the SB?

Those were the three moves that were pure Rosie moves on his own. He wanted Baun…at Edge.

Ceedy Duce could maybe credit Rosie with that as purely him also. Showed him and taught him a lesson then brought him back.

Especially this past weak draft. But we do need them to make good decisions concerning who is kept and cut. Very crucial if the Eagles are to accomplish anything this season.

Feeling we at least need to be as good as the Browns if we want to be a playoff team.

Not so difficult to cut….difficult to feel confident in keeping those last guys on the 53.

In the highlights they included two three yard runs for us. That’s how bad it was.

I never meant ALL of them JFC. As I said before McCord has an excuse. He's brand new(basically) at the NFL level. T-R needs to go away. Due to those 2 QB's sucking, it's very difficult for any WR or TE(or even RB's to display their pass catching abilities) to shine, when they have sub standard passers on the field. I didn't care that we lost, it's pre season(although the players care). Pre 2 is usually the game where they find out who is on the upswing and who isn't. A chance to stand out from the crowd at your position. That did not happen for us yesterday. It was chaos and mismanagement with very poor QB play. It's QB 3. McCord needs time for us to decide if he has hope or is a waste of resources, which could take years. They played T-R in the hopes he would not display "rookie" play, but he was HORRIBLE and that cost all the receivers their chance to step up and away from others. As evidenced by the 88 yards of offense that was a horrendous display of ineptitude and TBH I wasn't expecting to be outshined by the Browns, especially at the Linc. Those young men were abandoned at the skill positions and now there is little time for decision making. Yes, we have 1 more pre game and I'm sure the staff has a better understanding of who they will keep and I still believe we have alot of players that are better deep depth players than some other teams have and there needs to be concern at the CB position as some of the Cleveland WR's made them look silly. It was certainly a wake up call and the staff better crack the whip. Dillon looked bad too,so from a fan perspective there is no way we know if he is any good or if we allow the youth to play and gain more experience. I believe there will be some serious meetings at Novacare. Whatever "we won the SB" atmosphere was present just flew out the window and we need to get serious as Siri et al were embarrassed at home. Yesterday, from a FAN perspective, the creek was not cleared, it's still full of mud, and the pigs need to be removed. The water is more clouded than ever. A few good spots were around,but they were few and far between. I just have to trust the FO, as a fan it's all I can do, but let's just say my confidence was shaken. I still lie my boy MJ, but I have no proof now as there was no chance to show anything to anyone. Same with the WR's. Just pathetic QB play. I did doze off for 4 minutes(game time lol) so maybe I missed a bright spot or 2,but I dozed off due to lack of being excited as a fan to see possible future players. Just a horrible game

BTW I did make this point earlier also, I think it was a response to Matt, so I agree with this part. The good news was Makuba and Campbell are both the real deal which matters far mor than round 5 BU's. Still, it was a rather shocking embarrassment

Basically the same thing, reworded LOL. After yesterdays debacle who do you cut when some positions did nothing at all? Even Dillon looked like crap. A huddle with NO QB? It gets no more basic than that. I expected more from a SB caliber staff and they fell short

You place too much emphasis on QB play. Terrible Oline play didn’t assist either QB. Receivers being covered and not creating separation didn’t assist either QB. It’s was a team wide struggle….that you are blaming on the QB. Now…Schwartz is a heck of a SC. Respect. Browns have real quality talent on D. Their top CB locked down Smitty in practice. I’m not looking at that tearing down Smitty…Ward is really freakin’ good. Mailata was getting absolutely owned, by his own admission, by Garrett. Hurts was looking terrible by most reports. Now I take some of that on Hurts…but it’s also making the job so much more difficult because the performance across the entire O…compared to what the Browns are doing well. Give them credit.

It’s not like the Browns didn’t make things difficult when we played last season.

It was pretty lame. I can't really blame McCord. As long as we have McKee, we can give him time to develop. Right now IDK if there is, or is NOT, hope for the others because there was no way to display any talents they have(offense) You guys are better about the defense than I am. I saw some nice plays from some, but overall impressions I will leave to others. For me, the offense looked like a bunch of high schoolers playing for the first time together
