Good to see the corners in midseason form.

lol. frankly i hate the idea of maddox on the outside. I don’t think he’s an outside corner.

Are we sure it’s been all sweat and not ostman. Cause a couple days ago reporters couldn’t tell the difference between the two. 

Rappaport just reported Reagor injured with no details other than he had to go to the locker room.

Rapaport is hit/miss with Eagles injuries.

When Jason Peters tore his ACL in 2017, he said there was optimism he wasn't seriously hurt...even though he was carted off. 

The Jalen Reagor injury might be a breaking point for me. Would be absolutely devastating.

Like most reports have stated there really is no competition at 2nd corner this year. I don't get it. Might mean Schwartz just flat out hates everyone else at corner which from what we have seen the last few years is he has a right too. I don't think there is a better choice at the outside at this point or at least the same result no matter who you put out there

I don’t think Ostman ever returned to practice yet.

Cant rule out they are confusing Sweat for Toohill though 

I think Hightower is going to be special if he develops consistency.  Losing Reagor hurts, but I think the Eagles finally have some depth at WR to overcome it. But, still these injuries are getting ridiculous. I'm not saying that how Doug runs practices has anything to do with it, but at some point they need to research why this is happening so often.  Maybe it's a coincidence but as the numbers continue to pile up, then maybe it is something else.

Doesn’t help Sydney has been MIA all camp. Rasul and Craig James aren’t legitimate competition

i agree they don’t have any better options than maddox cause jones can’t stay healthy and Douglas is up and down when he gets the chance to start. It’s why i was for taking a corner in this draft relatively early. I was hoping they’d move up in the second to snag Utah’s Johnson when he was falling or another corner. They did nothing besides trade for slay and sign another nickel corner in NRC. Next year you basically only have slay, maddox and possibly jones on the roster. Gonna need to address it then.

Which is what makes the Hurts pick even more bizarre. They had an immediate need for a CB, didn’t take one, and didn’t bother to bring one in after the draft 

I don’t see any scenario where it wouldn’t be wise to keep both Hightower and Watkins.  

Maybe Sweat is just really really good now? Right? ...right guys?

I'm done with Rasul at this point he is too slow and he has been getting burnt all training camp at this point by guys with blazing speed in practice. They should send him to saftey where he belongs. Great instincts and a ball hawk but, he can't constantly use those skills as a corner.

Yea I don’t get it. Swap Mills and Douglas and you’d think the backfield is stronger than it is currently

I think Howie thinks Schwartz cannot develop CBS and Doug can develop qbs. Whoever they get would be burned toast 🙂

After the draft likely not getting someone great or fits outside corner. I know Logan Ryan is out there but really he’s more of a slot corner now. Can sign him and play him outside but really you’d Be paying more for him then maddox and both ideally are better in the slot corner role.

Well Slay and NRC are very good so we can't have pro bowlers at every secondary position. So im ok with the secondary for now. Like you said though there is no future past this year for now a less then stellar 2nd corner is not the end of the world though since we seem pretty good everywhere else
