Yeah... 280 hours can help... lol

As long as they don't get side jobs, I heard AJ needed to start a landscaping business for extra cash. 

Maybe they can hire him to pull weeds around the Linc

Becton seems like a man possessed. Taking reps at LT and LG with Dickerson out. He should be the BU for Mailiata and Dickerson unless they let him try to take the RG spot. Still things to get settled. I hope he plays well enough to at least stick around here as a BU

You get the feeling Fangio got his way some this offseason. Reddick I think was already decided. But Huff, Baun….Jalyx. Rosie was getting him his guys to build the D. Can’t really say the deal with Moore and the O. 

It’s almost like the D needed an overhaul of pieces while the O is pretty much set lol….

Moore going to ask for Keenan Allen after we paid for AJ and Smith lol ask for Ekeler though Barkley provides the same skill set just better and younger.

Well he was quitting annually for awhile(self doubt then???) And the cap hit drops off after 2025,so there is a chance he retires after 2025. His call,but we need to start looking in the draft at RT and hope RG gets locked in soon

Never heard of Lane quitting ??

Not last year,but I guess he was having some mental issues. You don't remember him saying "this is my last year" a few years ago? I do and then he said it again the following year. This was prior to the new contract

I'm not really worried about anything past 2024 for now.   Good chance next year and the year after that our 1st round pick will be one from each line.   Per usual,so all good there.  For now... I'm looking forward to enjoying the season as a fan... not worried about playing GM yet...that will start after the season for me.

I'm thinking they use him in short yardage....can move Lane or Mailata as an eligible player.

I would really enjoy that play despite when you make fun of me LOL. it would be a  "Philly Special" we save for a close playoff game. I think Mailata trucking people for a TD would put a smile on his face

So had a injury that took a year...was one tough time for him 3 years ago... idk that means he constantly thinks of quitting?    Never heard that....when they extended him with the new money, which they didn't have to do...I would assume it's because he plans to play.  Otherwise that would be pretty dumb.

He talked about retiring for 2 seasons. At any rate,next draft would be time to find a young gun

Oh, I have no interest in seeing Mailata run and the defense taking shots at his knees to bring him down... it's not Rugby where they only tackle high.   

I'm talking about the power blocking with Mailata or Lane staying on the perimeter after mixing in the big guy as a 6th OL.   Maybe a pass play near the goal line or something...but no way I want to put a target on Mailata...they absolutely will tackle him low and he never has had that in his life before to know what that's like.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/12284/lane-johnson Signed through 2027 although I don't feel he plays that long,he would be very old by then

I'm sure he has learned that by now LOL

Tackle elgible/TE

Philly Special-BU QB,pitched by an undrafted RB to a 3rd string TE and we have more talent now

Sure...next one or the one after.  I would assume that's automatic with the way our front office works... but you never know if Moore gives Fangio the first choice after he takes over as coach next year.

Yes....both those guys would be nice targets for a short pass.

He learned what it's like having guys tackle you at the legs?   How would he experience that?  He blocks???

I think it will be Dom as HC

I would call tackle eligible a few times,and do nothing with it, then after teams ignore it awhile we strike

That was it.... they extended with new money where the reality is to add the 2026 new money.  Basically instead of playing through 2025.. the idea is he plays through 2026.   I believe the 2027 year was just the way to spread out the cap hit. 

That 2 million when the cap is going to be over 300 mil is going to annoy Ham... lol

Then Dom for sure goes OL!
