May 13, 20241 yr Covey probably is done. He’s a very good P returner. But that’s been his only job. He has to win the KO return job also. We have so many other options though….

May 13, 20241 yr I could see having Shipley and Ainias switching positions out there. Motioning in to some very interesting plays. These guys both have a ton of YAC Creation Ability. Just have to get these guys involved with that batch of playcalls. Parris you have to consider being the vet option out there. Open up Goedert more for other duties. But combining with any of these guys out there on the field creates conflict in the D.
May 13, 20241 yr Ranking the first time MVP candidates pisses me off they have Purdy in front of Hurts.
May 13, 20241 yr Notable Departures: S Kevin Byard III, DL Fletcher Cox (retirement), C Jason Kelce (retirement), QB Marcus Mariota, Edge Haason Reddick, RB D'Andre Swift, WR Quez Watkins, WR Olamide Zaccheaus, G Sua Opeta probably Bradberry

Had his team in the SB… also had 2 rushing tds It’s the NFL it’s what have you done recently and fact is Hurts played poorly down the stretch yes ton of that was coaching but its the media they don’t care about that
May 13, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, GreenbleedinNC said: I love all the possibilities. Covey was the #2 returner last year,so I think he sticks on ST's. Possibly an "emergency" slot guy. Ainias Smith can also do that ST gig,so there is another competition. Campbell and Ngata probably the weakest links. Paris wasn't used much before so it's hard to know what he is capable of,but if he wasn't used much,maybe there was a reason for that. Ngata IDK because I don't go to camps,but he's been here awhile and needs to step up to make the team IMO. Neither of these 2 would be world ending if we cut them. I would like to see Ainias from the 20,then Parker in the RZ. The slot spot is a bit easier to learn because it doesn't require as extensive of a route tree to learn. A rookie slot has a better chance of making the team and I'm sure Ainias will know most of the slot route trees from Texas A&M as the pros run similar plays. I think the kid was a great addition and will solidly be the slot guy once he gets there.Anias impressed me right away as a slot guy when I started my research(and Malik Washngton as well as McCaffrey) Being limited to the slot,he was never in my mind a #1 or #2. I had him as a round 4,so getting him in 5 was good value IMO. This will all shake out in camp but I suspect even if A Smith doesn't play he will make the team,but I fully expect he will be a contributor early or win the slot start outright. I had him or Malik as my 2 top slot guys in that draft. He seems to have the good hands Quez didn't and we know how costly some of Quez's drops were. I'm excited to see this offense. It's was boring,pedestrian and vanilla. Moore will open this up and it should be fun to watch this team again Oh for sure I want them to move guys around and find the favourable match ups. There wasn’t enough of that last year it seemed to be "here’s our offense, we think we are more talented so will win 1 v 1”. It didn’t work so I hope we are going to see guys move around a bit. One thing I would say… I’m not sure Covey makes the roster. That’s just my very early prediction. Not because he’s bad but I just think they have other guys to return kicks and so far he’s not shown he can really play on offense. But hey he was superb at punt returns last year and that’s definitely value so who knows!

May 13, 20241 yr Yeah, been reading about Covey. 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.

He didn't say the rookies are going to get cut. Obviously if they are developmental...they will stick. But Parker and Campbell are one year tryouts...they could easily be replaced immediately if they don't look good ASAP. 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

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
May 13, 20241 yr Really want Shipley to live up to the hype. Slot, TE, RB - all crossover positions who can cause confusion for D's.

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, 20241 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, 20241 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!
