Bell likely to get lots of reps this offseason with Lane coming off injury. Kind of shocking but a good sign that Bell is getting the first team reps over Fred Johnson though while Lane is out.

Curious if Bell will end up being the first man up if/when Lane missing some time this season

We’ll be in trouble if so. In fact…no freakin’ way! But just obviously smart to get him in early learning and developing as much as possible. I’d be surprised if he dresses on gamed days.

Bell should also play a lot in the preseason as well image Lane will play very little if he plays at all.

Definitely should get the young players involved as much as possible in PS

Why you directed this towards me I wouldn’t know

When I tried explaining that same things in the video to you, you didn't understand me, or ignored me and apparently you didn't grasp the vid either. Actually I didn't expect you to, because your people skills are beyond horrid. If you can't understand what each player wants, needs and expects on your team,especially at the skill positions, you aren't going to be able to cope with what ensues. Watch the vid again(at the bottom) and try your best to grasp the concept he talks about. If you can't figure it out ask your 5th grader. Watch the vid with your 5th grader and they can explain it as it moves along. Then you will MAYBE understand why AJ is going away and who and what caused this, forcing Howie's hand. The fact you can't understand why I directed it to you proves you cannot comprehend an ongoing conversation with someone other than yourself

Or he had something personal? I highly doubt it had anything to do with AJ....no guarantee he is a #2 yet here

Sure that's possible. he already knows Mannion's system and terminology, not a big deal either way

Mannion still incorporating Siri’s terminology and playbook he stated…BUT sounding like he really gets to implement his own O so much more than any other OC for us has. Would think even Siri has to understand his mega failure by this point. He better let Mannion have room to work. Going to take time and some patience if we actually wish to develop and grow. Instead if skipping over it for such short term gains like Siri has chosen every other time.

OMG!!!!!! Same terminology!!!! How can that happen???? We need to call the "UH OH SQUAD". Every OC has implemented their O. Why is this astounding news?? I keep explaining "it's not Siri's O" and after 1500 posts you still can't grasp this concept either, so zero sense trying again. Just amazing lack of having the ability to learn by you, or just flat out ignorance to concepts other than your own. IDK how Hurts is going to cope with the same terminology and playbook. I thought he had to be taught every year??? So how much did the playbook we have change from 2018 to 2026???(just curious to see your answer)

Rumor now is that will are likely to get a 2028 1st round pick for AJ guess we will likely find out tomorrow

No version we’ve changed the O any other season than what Moore attempted but Siri attempted blocking prosper. Johnson was shutdown almost completely by Siri. Steichen stepped in limited running Siri’s O from the start. Patullo? Haha Siri’s puppet. Patullo added TE Redzone play…about it.

I explained all this to you also, apparently to no avail which doesn't surprise me. Yeah hearing good reports about Mannions efforts. He will introduce the same type O Moore did on a few steroids

Watch the pressers. Actually pathetically hilarious. Mannion telling Eagles fans he will bring multiple differing plays from every look. Hooray! Should be very simple and basic in any O. Yet it’s a big deal huge change from that crappy Siri O.

Hurts mentions how now Mannion can answer his questions. So basic, yet massive upgrade over what’s been occurring under Siri.

So you're not open to giving people a fair first shot? Bell might surprise you. The dude didn't allow a single sack last season. His run blocking is suspect though according to scouting report.

Why the Bell Hate? Or is it just that you're not comfortable with him taking reps at RT due to his inexperience at that position?

I did a fair amount of homework to make my educated guess towards things. Am I always correct? Heck no. Considered it a positional reach pick. Trade up for WR. TE second. The trade for Greenard. Everybody knew we needed a T…especially RT replacement. The positives are he’s a smart dedicated absolutely massive human being. Showed in one season of college he will work his butt off maximizing whatever coaching plan they can form. Got very key fundamental limitation(s).

If I’m wrong? That’s very good …definitely works for me.

At best I’m seeing him being developmental. Gotta remember it’s not Stout anymore. (Wonder how many times that statement will apply?)

After 6 years as a pro why does Hurts need so many questions answered? What questions should he have after this amount of time? So you're going to tell me for 6 years no one on the team would ever answer Hurts questions? Are you insane or just clueless??

If the version of the O didn't change for 6 years what possible questions would there be? You want fries with that? Please. If Hurts(Houdini) is that DUMB we can do better. Since Hurts gave up the run he must now be a top 10 passer(10 at LEAST). 19/32 isn't going to cut it anymore. If Hurts has so little knowledge, how does he "carry" this team as you claim?

The question for me is "will Hurts go back to running the ball as we PAID him to do, or will this be a rerun of dinkers with top notch receivers getting low ball target shares?"

I personally want to see more passes to RB's than we have seen. With Hurts not running it's going to have to be in the 32-34 passes per game area. I would like 4-5 of those go to RB's. 2 TE sets should be something to see more of as the season moves on

Only the guys Ham wants have a chance. Ham will pick out the guys who succeed. He knows best by his own admission 🤣. Ham says Bell was a FORCED pick, so he can't possibly make a difference here. He should be cut or traded immediately 🤣

I hear you. I’m predicting Fred swings. Couple of young T developmental with some big potential leftovers from Stout I more have my eye on.

Image we see Hurts run around the same amount as last season if not less. If he is active wouldn’t even shock me if we looked to Cole Payton as a replacement doing the tush push to protect Hurts from possible injury.

Add in early signs we are looking to use more under center likely less read option just seems like this season is designed to see if Hurts can win with his arm consistently.
