Ran the 40 at the combine knowing he had a stress fracture in his shin? Not the wisest of moves

I can relate starting at RB.They moved me to TE. But learning the needed moves at RB pay big when you make moves like him and I did. Directional hip drops,how to make your self "small".how to make yourself "big",cut backs etc. All are helpful thought the transition. Now you need to learn a more complex tree,but you already have the:"shift kits" in place. For me the shuttle and cone drills are what I look at,those how you cutting ability. I'm expecting to get production from the slot we have been lacking. I mean RELIABLE production,not 3 passes a game. I hand picked this kid. I hope he doesn't let me or the Eagles down. He is capable of running from the backfield,or popping out on any route we need. I'm anxious to watch this kid grow. He can run on the outside if we got in a pinch,but he can do "JJ TYPE" damage from the slot. I would like to see 5-6-7 slot calls per game and if he is "hot" one game,then crank them up. Him and Malik Washington were the 2 I wanted and I got one, I pegged Ainias as the best SLOT in this draft. I hope he won't make me eat crow. I don't think he will. We now have an offense where everyone needs to be covered and that is a difficult task most teams cannot do. They can only stop the machine if they trap Hurts,so I hope they work on those escapes in camp. Ainias would be fun on a delayed draw running play as well, C/RG still the question marks. They need time to grow together,but still I believe it's a better line for Bark than he had in NY. That preseason rank of 11 I want blow out of the water. We have the personnel to play with anyone. I am optimistic we can win 12 games. I will shoot for that

Seems Howie was correct to take him early. I had him in round 5,but this kid is really excited to play for us. Small school and he understands he has to outwork the bigger school guys. I think he will sick in time because he is not a quitter

In March of '23, the NFL approved that teams could play 2 games on short - 3 days rest! Just learned that and think it's totally unfair to the players! All so they can schedule the 2 games on Christmas.

Yeah, total BS. Takes away from the quality of the game.

Hard to believe the owners approved this. Even harder to believe the NFLPA did

This is all taking place with the understanding of an 18 game regular season about to become a reality.

3 days rest has nothing to do with the 18 games.   When they move to 18 games, they are looking to extend the season a week later into February.

So would there still be a bye week or no? I feel it's a safety risk to ask guys to play who are only getting 3 days rest. They can't be 100%. Imagine an overtime game in Seattle and in 3 days you play in Miami

I have heard they want to go ...2 preseason games....which to me is obvious...one home and away is more than enough.... 18 regular season games.. extend the season to Presidents day weekend so people have off after the Superbowl.  

Still bye week.   The 3 day thing is just a way to get a game on Xmas...which to me is dumb.  All about $$$.

They are agreeing on being able to place teams with two short weeks on their season schedule. This is really crucial on an 18 game schedule.

Rooney rule

I think they should include a second bye week for this 18 game schedule.

Why is it crucial for 18 games?   Where is the math?

You don't need to if they extend the season a week to Presidents day weekend. 

Morning Eagles fans.

Haven't been on for a while but i had open heart surgery where they replaced a valve in my heart.  Everything is going well.

I really did like our draft though

TURN THE VALVE ON! Good luck with your recovery, hope it turns out well.

I'm so old,I remember when businesses were ALL closed on Sundays(even gas stations) as well as Xmas eve and Xmas. If you didn't buy it on 12/23 you were out of luck,because those were "family days" and I wish we would go back to that. Better days before all the greed took over
