Guy could be a very underrated aspect of that DL as both a tackle and an edge.  He is coming off back to back injured years but before that he was a damn good player.  I don't think it's hyperbole to say this DL has a realistic chance to be the best in the league in 2020

was sad he didn't line up next cox last season , would have caved the interior o-lines and the ends could have feasted. lets hope sweat stays healthy and can get into the rotation and push barnett to up his game.

I am not sure Avery or Miller get a chance at a few games.  Frankly, I was wondering about Avery since the trade. It’s like Howie stepped back in time and grabbed a speedball, too short pass rush specialist for the wrong Jim’s D.  

Be interesting to see what they do at DE. I think Ostman is obviously better than avery and shareef miller but eagles invested more in avery and miller(4th round picks) than Ostman UDFA. Hopefully clearer minds prevail and they keep the players that are playing well instead of trying to save face and keep guys just because of the resources put into them.

Wonder what took so long here.  Did they need video evidence of him and his brother tag teaming the same chick in that super creepy story?  
 

AND I forgot all about that!  😂

Barnett has been a serviceable DE.  Not every 1st round pick is going to be a pro-bowler.   I wouldn’t call him a huge "hit” atm but he’s far from a "bust”.

 

mike mamula first 3 seasons 16.5 sacks.

Derek Barnett first 3 season 14 sacks.

Make of that what you will.

Don’t read to much into those "sacks”.  Typically in scrimmages and thud drills, the Eagles put men on an island.  That is to test how they handle situations like that in real games.  Heck, those could have been defensive snaps designed for the D to win.   Quite possibly plain vanilla blocking with no line calls. Some may have included tests of pass pro capabilities of the backs.  But the one on one situations tend to favor the DL.  Sounds like the only WR focused on of the top WRs was JJAW and he performed okay.  Sounds like Slay does just fine in one on ones. Heck next time we may be reading about Toohill being unable to tackle the lower round RBs.

I never thought Mamula was a bust, just thought he was over drafted he wasnt bad.

I dont think barnett is a bad player either i think hes been meh and if one thinks Mamula is a bust then in that same vein so is Barnett.

I don’t understand what you’re comparing. Barnett has almost missed an entire season of games in his first 3 years and they are complete opposites in terms of measurables.

i'm hoping barnett can up his game since he is still really young at 24 for a 4 year player

Earl Thomas is a knob.  Ravens knew that when they signed him.  Where do I line up to get a teammate who runs to the Cowboys’ locker room campaigning to get signed there?  Same line up where I can have a teammate who flips off his own sideline and coaches?

Zero respect for that guy at all.

This sounds like media hype to me. Sending players home happens with fights in camp. Harbaugh has been doing that for years.

The Avery trade seems to be a "head scratcher” atm.   We’ll see if he does anything this year. Still a "weird” mid season trade, imo.

Teams don't want to trade with Howie anymore unless they take him for a ride. He has been making cruddy ones since.

I always figured they wanted to replace the role they had cut out for Ostman and somehow never got Avery up to speed.

Yes and they both play DE and were first round picks for the eagles.not sure what measurables have to do with it.

For those of us that didnt sniff glue for breakfast its a fair comparison.

Goodell needs to act swiftly on this. A ten day quarantine from the team and at least a game check fine.  This needs to show the seriousness of the offense and the risk he could have brought to the team.

I thought the same. Schwartz had a role for Ostman as a stand up rusher then he went down and seemed avery was brought into fill that role but never did and now ostman is back filling that role better than avery which makes avery obsolete.

Hehehe

Last year was his only injured season before that he had a concussion in 2015.

Me too. I like his effort and think if he can stay healthy his stats can more equally represent his effort. Having said that he needs to cut down on the bone headed penalties as well.

Don’t you dare doubt for one second there are plenty of Taters (and even a few in the blog) who would love for the Eagles to bring in this kook

I thought you were going to say dont doubt for one second that there are plenty of Taters that would love to tag team a chick with their brother😳

Oh absolutely.  And I fully agree it would be a bad idea.  Let him sign with Dallas and ruin them from the inside.

I just couldn't resist a nice brother threesome joke.  That story was hilarious.
