Not sure if he got a really good shot on the field, been a good returner tho and with the new rules I'd hate to learn the hard way to keep an extra guy there who's playing on the O and gets banged up. OT but particularly to those w/ med probs. Said the other day all we can do is have hope and grace, left out realizing there's nothing to forgive or beat ourselves up about - although we old timers do it all the time! Wound up at the ER this am, hardly did a thing for this 3 yr old, every waking moment headache. Had them call my doc up at Mass General - which is a good hospital and he's the ass't director of Neurology - so no slouch. Gave me the usual cocktail, then some Percocet ( which is nothing ), treat and on the street - that's what ER's can only do. So went and had some cocktails of my own. The bartender gave me more than enough shots of Mr Beam while commiserating, which helped a lot more than the percocet I didn't take cause I knew where I was heading and acetaminophen and alcohol don't mix . Got home and the hope kicked in. May be heading to Thomas Jefferson in Philly as they and a place in Ann Arbor are the only 2 headache intake units in the nation that take my insurance. So there's the hope part. Just sayin. My better half's in on this as well. There's hope. Hope it went well for you yesterday as well GB and others going thru this kinda crap. Yeah,yesterday was a better day, Took the daughter and fam out to dinner, had an overpriced crap steak and a weak expensive "girlie" drink because other than beer that was all they had. Steak will be a treat for my dogs over the next 2 days(although IDK why I should punish them 🤣). The baked tater was the best thing on my plate(s). Those are hard to screw up,but if there was a way,they would have found it.The fam time was nice,but biz's really SUCK anymore. The service was also sketchy at best. The flowers I got for her birthday(same day) never showed. They offered to re-send them with an apology note. I told them to ram rose stems up their arse for screwing up since they already ruined her day
May 13, 20242 yr Author OT- So far I am 0-4 this month 1) New "irish" place opened here. They can't make a Reuben to save their arse,just AWFUL for a signature sammich at an IRISH pub 2) $2600.00 to repair my THREE YEAR OLD heat pump. This was the 2nd time in 3 years 3) No flowers delivered for daughters Bday 4) Crap steak at daughters dinner. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of the month brings 🙄. Side note,actually 0-5 if you count the BAD outlet I replaced. That is also 3 years old and burned out WITHOUT tripping a breaker

As for flower, Deb yells at me whenever I got them for her. Cleared an area of yard, bought a 5 lb of perennial flower seeds and let them fly - she has all the cut flowers and then some. Even a lot left after she gets cutting so the yard looks great!
May 13, 20242 yr Ummm - you didn't count going out with her! Focus on the good things we get in life and let the bs go. Except of course if someone screws with our Eagles - then I'm pissed!

May 13, 20242 yr Author Now I'm humming that song from HeeHaw HAHAHAHA "Gloom despair and agony on me....deep dark depression,excessive misery.If it weren't for bad luck,I'd have no luck at all,gloom despair and agony on me"
May 14, 20242 yr https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-sign-intriguing-cornerback-shon-stephens-in-flurry-of-roster-moves/584390/ Busy day. Wonder why Mitchell, DeJean and Trotter haven't signed yet. Taking no chances in the CB room - maybe get a S out of them, besides cross training DeJean?
May 14, 20242 yr 2 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said: Whatever Joe,we have differing interpretations and you aren't changing my opinion. He talked about A Smith in the same breath and it was a slam to him and Howie's FA choices saying none of those could be on the roster without having no knowledge at all just spewing his own BS He talked about the young guys being " developmental" ...which is what we think about with late round picks. Kids that are here long term... not for what they bring day 1. They are here to get better. Campbell and Parker need to bring immediate value or no reason to keep them. Therefore it's absolutely possible that there could be another WR brought in. It's a position to watch because of all the possibilities. Have 100 people read it... I'll give you $1000 if one of them interprets it as" badmouthing " the rookie.

May 14, 20242 yr Former Eagles OT and local CSN analyst Barrett Brooks.... doesn't have Bradberry, Isaiah Rodgers or Devante Parker making the final 53.
May 14, 20242 yr 13 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said: Like I said he was #2. Do you replace that guy with an unknown? But as you said, IDK if we have a roster spot for that limited play. 123 pointed out DeJean has that ability and if we's not going to start right away it would give him something to do Yeah I just think given how little Covey has offered on offense so far his roster spot may be in danger. Yeah DeJean can apparently return kicks. I think Aninas Smith can too? There are definitely some options there as good as Covey has been.
May 14, 20242 yr 3 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said: He wrote the article did he not? Yes... where he clearly isn't all that sold on Campbell or Parker... he isn't alone there.

Covey hasn't returned kicks, that seems upgrade from Boston Scott etc. Covey probably should have been pro bowl punt returner though. The point Brooks made yesterday is that last year they were able to keep Covey on the practice squad for a good portion of the season...this year he would get picked up immediately, probably why he gets a roster spot. A guy like Parker probably won't get much interest.

Bradberry we all are assuming hits bricks at some point before the season. Parker and Rodgers would surprise me. Parker should be a good option for our QB. He can hit the covered guy…just need him to come down with it. Could possibly be our second best Redzone Wr option. Rodgers I really like to have as that backup inside and out. His competition should be McPherson and Jobe.

Rodgers I really like to have as that backup inside and out. His competition should be McPherson and Jobe. You and I can hit the " covered" guy. Basically the WR does all the work, it's not why your QB makes $250 million. If the young kids impress... I can easily see Parker not make the 53 with the idea they could keep him on PS and not get poached... remember it's a different strategy now. Brooks had 7 CBs... the 2 rookies, Slay, Ringo, Maddox, Ricks and Jobe. 3 safeties.... Blankenship, CGJ and Brown. The idea with Maddox and DeJean being able to fill in a little at S if needed. Was listening to ESP on the radio today with Jon Ritchie's morning show. He expects more two TE sets. But also thinks Campbell is the favorite to win the #3 WR spot for now. I'm getting the idea that a lot of these media guys want A Smith to win the job, they just don't want to rush him. I see where some see Renfrow as an outside option for a year incase things don't progress with the current guys. Another thing I'm seeing is that a lot of these guys think the LB from the Saints is going to win a starting job. Always fun when new coordinators and a bunch of new players come in.
May 14, 20242 yr Williams, a former third-round pick, has been one of the best rotational interior defenders in the entire NFL over the past two seasons. While his 968 snaps over that period rank just 64th at the position, his 73.2 PFF overall grade places 32nd. Williams was playing the best football of his career before an injury in 2023, with his 77.6 overall grade between Weeks 5 and 11 ranking 14th among interior defenders. Milton named our most underrated player
May 14, 20242 yr Zach Baun was an admitted target by Rosie. Fangio brought him up first when talking LBs. He seems to be a very clear part of the plan.
May 14, 20242 yr Parris gives the field stretching speed out of the slot. That opens things up for plenty of others. Then you have his YAC ability. He should be in the drivers seat as that third WR option.
