I think I was reading Dave Zanagaro's roster assessment on CSN yesterday where he talked about every player on the roster and one thing stuck out to me.  This isn't a knock on other veterans because the coaches have implemented the 30+ rest days but Brandon Graham doesn't take a rest day.  He's out there for every practice.  I know so many of us hated the pick at the time because of Earl Thomas but wow, BG is the ultimate Eagle.  Talk about a guy who's done everything that's asked, fought injuries, made the biggest play in Eagles history and just has the overall best attitude towards life and the game itself. 

I would love to see him hit 10 sacks just because of the work he puts in and it would be great to see him hit that milestone.

Earl Thomas on the other hand is a complete tool.

My daughter works for a doctor (she's a nurse) the hospital laid off like 200 employees during the pandemic (she wasn't one of them) I just found it odd that we were worried about overwhelming hospitals and then what we actually did was almost kill them. 

My youngest daughter works in a hospital in Tampa. They've also laid off staff but she is a therapist in the psych ward and they've added staff. I guess it just depends where you work

Here's how I evaluate the general "aptitude" of Eagles media and "some FAN" evaluations.

For 10 weeks last year, I told you Boobie was our guy.

Only now, AFTER in disgust 1000's of you actually shut the darn game off ,  are you starting to believe HE might be able to "PLAY" .  Oh "now that he's gotten the attention of a few local MEDIA stars" , Sanders is Ahright? Eh? 

Then of course, you've got that WHOLE Contingent of resident experts saying to themselves, yeah but the Eagles only won the East bc it sucks.  "We should've tanked for the draft pick" LOL

Jordan Mailata should be the Eagles starting LT week one.

Not all Doctors are all that smart. Not saying that he isn't.

A friend of mine, who is a heck of a litigator on NCIggles side of the bar, once told me half the doctors out there graduated in the bottom half of their class.  (True for all graduates at any level, so not that profound.). Never felt the same way about visiting the doctor after that.

It’s time for me to pay up and eat crow.  I was wrong.  It looks like we’ll have a season and I don’t believe the season will be cancelled partially the way through. We’ve seen the baseball model and I have to imagine the NFL will have more controls in place and keep a better eye on their players.  Sometimes it’s best not to be first.  I am rarely wrong.  But when I do, I admit it.  (In here at least) 

Sorry about the dog. 
 

But I’m with you, I thought it’d be delayed until October. Crazy how all of a sudden (in Maryland anyway) people are acting like there’s not much to worry about anymore. The governor just gave the go ahead for schools to open fully. 
 

But I think most places will start out with no fans then gradually let them back. By the playoffs I think it’ll be a full go with packed stadiums.

If there is going to be a season I just wish it would start already. I need something to take my mind off of the constant onslaught of covid/riot nonsense. (I said riot not protest)

In two weeks we may just have a game to discuss.  In the meantime, I expect the Eagles will be a black hole until the cuts come.

That means Jalen Hurts is your QB week 2 cuz Carson will get killed.

I'll have you know that I graduated in the top 4/5ths of my class from a prestigious top 70 Central-American D.O. program thank you very much.

By who? Oh yeah MEDIA overhyped Chase Young. 

Yeah and BOSO the Clown dominated Andy and Mahomes as well. 

Week one gives you a chance to at least see if he can play. If he can't handle Young ( He doesn't need to dominate him, he'll make mistakes ) He sure as hell aint gonna handle Aaron Donald. 

Bold strategy...

Chase Young is the real deal. He was more dominant than Nick Bosa when they played together....

Chase Young is a ROOKIE.  At this point in his NFL career, he's done as much as Mailata. 

Let the Mad Aussie play.

I maintain my position that flat earthers are the dumbest people on the globe.

I read where Elon Musk reached out to the Flat Earth Society and asked them why there isn't a Flat Mars Society.

The actual reply he received from the Flat Earth Society?  "Mars is round ... because Mars has been observed to be round"

Don’t worry. Musk will implant chips in their brains so they can become his zombie army.

No one was talking to you.  I know it's hard for you, not to be the center of attention all the time.  It's ok fella.  

You didn't specifically tag or quote anyone so... are you making up more new rules on how to discuss stuff here now?

 

Methinks Tra is being a bit simplistic here but to be fair he knows more than me and has to work with the clips he can get.

I too did not expect the season to go forward. I am now hopeful. BTW, the ancient Greeks thought that hope was a very bad thing.

Well then I guess I shouldn't hope that my dog actually eats something tonight.  

I'm sorry to hear man.  When my dog gets sick and isn't super interesting in eating a chicken and rice meal usually helps get him to try something. Rice, frozen chicken, sweet potato (or canned pumpkin), and whatever dog friendly frozen or fresh vedge I have laying around.

Considering Ostman and Toohill have had their way with Mailata I'm guessing Chase Young would have a field day.

Chase Young has been playing football for probably 15 years, 3 at a power 5 school.  Mailata is only in his 3rd year or playing football.  Let's also remember he didn't even put pads on or practice last year due to IR.  

I agree with you that the only way he is going to learn is to play.  With that being said, Chase Young would abuse him.

Yep and if we all listened to you and the LOCAL MEDIA , you know who would be playing RB right now? Let alone QB? 

Jordan Howard and Kevin Kolb's Understudy. 

How'd letting Boston Scott carry the ball in a live NFL game work out for you? BUT NO we had to suffer through years of.... This guy has an AGENT lol

 

Like NONE of us were around when you were all convinced MIKE VICK was the ANSWER ! or Bobby Hoying ! 

 

It's Stoutland's job. If Jeff Stoutland thinks Jordan Mailata can play OL in the NFL, he should be playing LT. He has all the tools.  Pryor's a Guard. 

Either he can play or he can't.
