January 22, 20242 yr Really when you look at this Eagles defense you can make the case the only real young player we have is Carter. Blankenship maybe but how often was this guy getting hurt can we even truly rely on him? Sweat is solid end wouldnt say he is a great end We have some good older guys Reddick but he is over 30 already. Davis has been a disappointmentÂ
January 22, 20242 yr We do have some other young guys that maybe make strides. Can we get Davis to play at a high level for an entire season? Can dean stay healthy and be the Lb he was at Georgia? Smith our other 1st rounder can he develop into another edge rusher that we need? Ringo/Ricks the other young CBs- do any of these guys step up and fill a spot Brown- he is coming off an ACL so his development could be stunted that is the one accurate take I’ll give ham.
January 22, 20242 yr I do hope who ever our next DC is they will actually use the blitz lol 😂 I get it we want to get pressure with 4 guys when we can but damn blitzing is a great tool to use especially when we aren’t getting pressure with 4 guysÂ

But been trying to believe in Sidney based on his strong intangibles. He’ll never be on a level with Hamilton.
January 22, 20242 yr Hamilton was the pick we missed on to take Davis though. Nothing really to do with Sidney.
January 22, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, joemas6 said: Everything to do with Sidney... the subliminal fire Howie idea has to be... he messed up by missing Hamilton so he had to waste the pick on Brown.  We get it.  He drafts Dline instead of S. There were other S choices than just Sidney. I still don’t see Sidney as a wasted pick. But Hamilton is a very good player. Davis hasn’t looked like a very good player. I prefer drafting good players regardless of positional philosophies creating such a hierarchy.

Because our coaching put them in position to succeed the play calling switch was huge for helping a rookie player lol come on now. PFF even graded probably as a quality backup at a 62 as a rookie compared to Blankenship who only got a 73.Â
January 22, 20242 yr not like anyone is saying Brown was a world class top tier S but as a young player he showed promise and should improve can definitely be a starting caliber S in this league in my opinionÂ

Best one we had.

But can think of several occasions he personally just screwed up. He wasn’t some top ten rookie. So it’s to be expected I would think. Heck Jordan Davis was top ten and I’m still trying to be optimistic about him improving enough to look worth it.
January 22, 20242 yr 1 minute ago, joemas6 said: Your comment originally was directed at his speed.  Which is more than fine. The other stuff is just that...other stuff.  Yeah he really didn’t look like a 4.4 speed guy. I don’t recall his combine time as I was higher on others over him. He made some plays this year. Made a splash as a rook.Â
