Weren’t even close to the 6’8” 360 pounders. And the opposite with the DL...how many edge guys are Reggie's size now??? 6'5" 291 lbs???

But when you can’t open a whole to run the ball in the big game what does it matter? Couldn’t run the ball for crap against KC. Does future HoF jackets change any of that? Again... very simple concept that you are making complicated. You have a solid 4....you get the 5th guy and now there isn't an individual weakness on your OL. Which means ...the defense can't just attack one guy.

Yep it’s like how we saw the Cowboys attack Steen with stunts getting Parsons on him.

Lecitus was a legit backup option. Noah I can’t understand him being cut. Did he show up out of shape or something on these levels? He was a very key piece of depth for us. A legit backup Nose option. Heck was thinking could challenge to really get playing time. Noah really shocks me.

But we definitely are going to see how a lesser Oline and a top RB works out. IDk that it's lesser. It's too soon to know. Just open a hole. Why I hope for less RPO and more play action. The RPO tends to freeze the O line. Maybe why those holes didn't appear. Bark doesn't need much of a window. He has a great burst, and he can punish LB's.
April 30, 20242 yr Author https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/2/12/17003364/rpo-run-pass-options-nfl-college-rules Some time ago,but a really good read
April 30, 20242 yr Author Still, there are major differences between how RPOs look in the college and pro games. In college, a forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage is illegal if any offensive linemen are more than 3 yards down the field. In the NFL, it’s a flag if a lineman is more than 1 yard downfield. That rule difference alone has a considerable impact, as college defensive coaches often point out. This is what I was talking bout. The RPO prevents any penetration by the Oline because it's "reactionary" to whatever the Qb decision/play is run or pass. And while we are good at it,I hope we use it LESS,which sounds a bit odd,but IMO it would be more functionary as something mixed in. Play action would allow the O line more freedom,but you need to establish the run first to make play action effective. We got a RB that can do that so I would like to see a little less RPO and more play action. Of course using Goedert properly is a big part of this especially the short game and hopefully the new Smith can add some windows for Hurts.

Largest roadblock probably just being Siri. Gainwell is a solid RB3 himself…but Milton might be the rightful choice for the job.

April 30, 20242 yr Well, now we know the Eagles picks finally. Since I didn’t watch any of these young men play a single game, please give me your brief thoughts on each one. I’m nervous about a CB from Toledo. Dejean was a good pick at 40 from his draft projection. The 3rd pick? What the hell? As an offensive minded coach, I loved what I saw of highlights of Shipley. He is a weapon!…unless he doesn’t translate to the NFL. Anias? Replacing Covey? Is he an upgrade? I was disappointed they didn’t pick an O linemen until late, but it is what it is. I don’t want to go back and read the last 100 pages here, so any insight is appreciated.

Alot of small school guys at the skill positions have trouble transitioning. We got him for his speed,a similar thing we did taking Reagor over JJ. Toledo not really in a bang up league,so we'll see how it goes. He was ranked high by most so he must have the skills.Pick 3 IDK. I was a little shocked by it,but 58 read up about him and I guess he is ok where we got him. Like you, I thought we would be more aggressive getting some O line in. There were some minor cuts today. Maybe Howie isn't done yet. Some players will be cut loose like we cut some today. perhaps there will be usable guys from that. This is all just my own opinion. I was pulling for getting Ainias Smith right from the start/ In my view he was the best SLOT WR in this draft(not best WR but best SLOT so that pick made me very happy) DeJean is the more NFL ready of the 2.I believe in time he will be an integral part of our secondary
April 30, 20242 yr Travis Kelce signed two year 34 mil extension. Crazy the all time TE can only make half that of WRs.

DeJean is the elite return man. Shipley should claim RB2 job as soon as Siri gets out of the way. NCSt Oline McMahon shows well at C. Jalyx Hunt is Fangio’s chosen player…so they reached. Huge upside in the S turned Edge though. It was a good strong draft. Pretty franchise changing that Rosie finally grabbed two DBs. Seriously changed the course with youth and speed.
