If it's that few, they should just give the seats away to nurses and first responders.  2,500 isn't enough revenue to really matter.

I’m curious how expensive those tickets are.

I’ve always liked Kelly. 

 

I like Kelly too. Easop Winston is a really interesting slot prospect. Hes very quick. He has almost no return experience but Id love to see him try it.

They also cut ex-Eagle Toth. 

he was very hyped up here. But was an obvious project. We should sign him back. We can use that upside at tackle.

He's injured with something. I couldn't find what exactly. 

Damn, he missed a lot of camp due to Covid and then was activated. He has missed the past few days with a non-Covid illness. 

That seems bad.

uh-huh and yet if he's asked to play that position it's because he's better than them. who knows maybe the team isn't planning on asking

Maybe not... and I've yet to see anything I'd call 'credible' saying that he's demanding more money to move.  

 

But, like I said, I'm not too worked up about it.  He came back because of the relationship here, and they targeted him over other players, because of his versatility.  I'm sure it came up at some point in the negotiation... but, I don't see him really playing more than about 6 games... if the NFL can even get that far.   The good news is that the NHL hasn't had any issues in their bubble; the NBA, despite some early concerns, hasn't really had any issues; and outside of the stupid Marlins, MLB hasn't really had any _major_ issues and they are the best comparison to the super-sized version of that schedule with the NFL.  We might have actually turned a corner... and the biggest issue exists with the youngest in the adult population (and I use that term loosely) with the college kids, primarily the freshmen from what I've heard as they are just getting this 'freedom' and don't know how to handle it. 

Anyway, good to chat about football again, and not have shirtless selfies all over the place. 

This is the ideal PS candidate. Athletic player from a small school.

Alright, I do this every year after camp.  As an homage to the popular baseball organizational top prospects lists, here is the Eagles "top prospects" list.  Since the old board is gone, I unfortunately can't dig up prior years' lists.  To qualify as a "prospect," a player needs to be 24 or under and can't be an entrenched starter from last year.  (ie, Sanders is disqualified and Goedert has aged out).  Basically, we are looking at players who have not "arrived" yet.

1.  Reagor (1st round).  Self explanatory.

2.  Dillard (1st).  Not much has gone right for Dillard since getting drafted.  He had a really nice 2019 preseason, was OK in spot duty during the regular season, and ended on an awful note in a disastrous start at RT.  The offseason was plagued with rumors of trade attempts and a lack of confidence.  Maybe it was fabricated by the media.  Maybe where there's smoke there's fire.  But those doubts climb on the shoulders of a critical 2nd season lost to injury.  Will the Eagles even be willing to leave such a crucial position up in the air as a question mark for 2021, which would be necessary to give him any shot to start for this team in year 3?  He's 24, he's a great athlete, he's a first round pick, and the Eagles have very little successful young talent.  So he doesn't have anyone to keep him further down the list.

3.  Davion Taylor (3rd).  Either he or Sweat is the most physically gifted player on the entire defense.  He's raw though...and LB isn't a downhill pure athlete position.  Schwartz will need to coach him up quickly and get creative to take advantage of that tremendous speed and explosion, rather than just using him as a typical read & react 4-3 LB.  But they drafted him for a reason.

4.  Josh Sweat (4th).  Again, tremendous physical talent.  He has been agonizingly slow off the snap, which has gradually improved with experience.  Sweat has quietly been on the winning end of every matchup that has caused OL destruction and panic.  So I guess we can say he had a damn good camp.  Barnett isn't going to be available for large stretches and Curry is way over the hill.  They really need Sweat to step up.

5.  Avonte Maddox (4th).  He flashed so much potential in his rookie year, performing admirably at 3 positions while thrown into the fire.  Year 2 was a huge step back; he was a complete liability.  The speed, quickness, and fluidity are there.  

6. TJ Edwards (udfa).  TJ Edwards may end up being the 2nd biggest contributor to come out of the 2019 class, even if he wasn't drafted.  He's a physical, instinctive LB who Schwartz clearly trusts very early in his career.  He's going to play.

7.  Jalen Hurts (2nd).  I had no idea where to put him on this list.  He has no clear path to ever starting here, so it's hard to rate him above guys that are getting penciled into the starting lineup for 2020.  But he's a 2nd round pick and a QB who the brain trust took a lot of heat to invest in.  I don't think you can put him any lower than this...and I'm sure many will argue he belongs higher.  

8. K'von Wallace (4th).  The only reason he's lower than other defenders like Sweat/Maddox/Edwards is because he hasn't had NFL experience and isn't as far along in the process.  Those guys will get starting opportunities this year, while Wallace will need another year of seasoning for that.  He's everything you look for in a safety prospect and has more upside than guys like Maddox/Edwards at this point.

9.  Hightower (5th).  Nice physical tools, sounds like he started off with a nice first impression in camp.  With our WR situation and Reagor on the shelf, he'll get his chance early.

10.  Watkins (6th).  His name will always be associated with Hightower.  Even faster, probably less well-rounded.  He stole some headlines in camp too.  

11.  Jack Driscoll (4th).  Drafted before #'s 8-9 on this list, but they are ultra fast WR's who turned some heads in camp.  So the speed freak in me needed to promote them.  He's going to figure into the OL picture sooner or later.

12.  JJAW (2nd).  Well, he's under 25 and he doesn't start.  That's all I have to say.  He'll be forced into opportunities this year.

13.  Shaun Bradley (6th).  A highly athletic LB used to poor competition.  He'll get his seasoning this year, may not even be active, and we'll revisit his status next year.  While there is upside here, not much to discuss right now.

14.  Prince Tega (6th).  See above.  

15.  Shareef Miller (4th).  See #12, but without the opportunity.

Jordan Mailata is under 24 and probably should be at least ranked higher than Driscoll.  He's certainly likely to have an opportunity to play.  This feels like a season where he needs to progress in order to become an NFL player.

It looks like there's talk of Arizona bringing him back for their practice squad.  https://www.azcardinals.com/news/cardinals-begin-cuts-hakeem-butler-among-released

Between Glenn and Peters we can cover 12 games at LT

Glenn has played his entire career at LT, so I would doubt he’s brought in to play guard at this point.

Cordy Glenn just sounds like an Eagle...

I think ideal scenario is put Peters back to LT AND sign Glenn to backup. That at least solves the "who will play when Peters pulls himself" question. Pryor will be fine at RG and you have Driscoll/Herbig as his backup.
