https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-sign-former-first-round-wide-receiver-john-ross-to-one-year-deal/  Ross actually retired BEFORE Parker,so that theory went up in smoke LOL. Hope he can stick at least as a BU because are still a bit thin in that area if he can't make this comeback work

If he does prevail? We are likely in depth troubles.

So the University of Wisconsin was given a grant from the NFL to study hamstring injuries….with their big WR having hamstring injuries occurring each year since. Pretty wild the foresight that took place for the league to help out the Pack here.

My super early record prediction is a 10 win season.

Scott was popular in the locker room...and played special teams.  Sanders gives neither.

You know that Sanders wasn’t popular in the locker room? Yea he doesn’t give the special teams but he is a better reciever/ runner and blocker then sanders 

Like by all means I’m not willing to trade for Sanders and pay him 7m a year but 2m for a backup RB when our backup RB accounted for 120+ snaps last year.

mind you our top RB only had 220… I not against paying that. Lol

Just a stupid take to say Sanders isn’t an upgrade our current backups.

Not enough,we need 12-5. We have the talent,the D should be alot better now. Only 1 guy will hold us back. We should be able to run on GB in Brazil and I am looking forward to that. First game, everyone will be sloppy,Bark will exploit that. GB pass D is pretty good,but we have the talent. Someone will be open somewhere.Hurts needs to find them. If Goedert is used correctly,he can hurt GB. Need to cover Watson especially on D and show some new looks with the pass rush. I think Fangio will do that. I'm not too awfully worried about their running game

Sanders was crap in Carolina. He lost the starting job pretty fast here.Hard to know which version we would get if we got him back. I don't see him as an upgrade to Gains-about the same IMO. I think Shipley will come on as the season goes on

He obviously was a huge upgrade over Gainwell. That’s not even in question.

Not stupid at all...Sanders absolutely sucked last year and lost the job to Chubba Hubbard.   Then I assume you would sign Chubba Hubbard for over $2 mil... the better RB?

Correct...move on from Sanders who they forced the ball to get the stats but then took him off on all the key downs in his one good season of 2022.   We could bring in another guy cheaper later, that's better. That's if they feel they need one.

Obviously he wasn't,  that's why in the most important game in the last 6 years,  they didn't play him.  Your next door neighbor is better than Sanders.... and her husband too.

You still haven’t picked up on just how much Siri has tried to force Gainwell…even after him being named starter to begin last season.

He actually got the start and they tried to see if he could make a go of things even though he clearly shouldn’t have even dressed for the game….because he wasn’t healthy.

Once again many possible reasons why. The "starter" only takes the first snap,it's not a big deal. You make is sound like some catastrophe. Maybe I can "start" in Brazil. I'm sure it would be the only snap I got all game, and??????? I did think Gains was a bit over used,but neither you or I have any control over that. Still with his "over use" Swift racked up twice the yards,so was he really overused? Or was he used to give Swift breathers so he could attain those yards? Only a few people would know the reasoning and you and I aren't one of them. I think Gains will also be used to relieve Bark. Will you also call that overuse as we try to stretch Barks 3 year contract we signed him to? Gains contract is up after this year,so then you'll need another guy to hate

He got the first snap... they had the idea of committee and not over using Swift last year.  I really wish Swift played the first snap...just not to have to read your garbage about it.  Gainwell was never a true #1 here. Never intended to be.   The issue with both of the last two guys is they couldn't pass protect.  It's why Gainwell logged a lot if snaps, yet didn't touch the ball as much.  Ratio touches per snap.    4.5 carries per game for 4.6 yards a game....that's fine for one of your backups.  

The issue last year is they got zero from the #3 RB.  If you get another 5 carries from that guy, then the run game becomes more of a factor for the defense to have to stop.   It's a subtle difference that ends up being huge.  

Can Shipley get 5 carries per game to keep the defense on their heels ???  That would be ideal.  You get 10 more carries in addition to Barkley each game... helps out a ton over 17 games. 

Big difference, especially considering Gainwell's injury last year..and still nothing from #3.

If the first play in Brazil has us in 2 TE set.... does that classify the #2 TE as a starter the rest of the year like Gainwell last year?    Lol

I know they have to list them for the NFL,but I don;t care as much about who starts as who finishes and gets the needed yards and scores throughout the game. But yeah I can "start" at TE with Geodert as the 2,then go home LOL. IDK how TE2 would be portrayed in that scenario. If he plays the first snap,I believe he would have to be listed as starting TE2 I believe the first 22 guys to take a snap would be the starters you had to list as such

I don’t hate Gainwell….just see him as a third stringer. He did’t  just take the first snap to start last season. He got all the touches accept for one carry given to Swift. Siri got saved from himself with Gainwell not being able to suit up for week two at least.
