That article was fair. I expected a lot worse when I saw it. Sirianni, Johnson and Hurts all have a piece of the blame, but the HC is the tone setter for a lot.  What wasn't covered in detail was Hurts injury nor the exit from the staff of coaches to other teams and how it impacted Sirianni.  Very player focused.

I'm gonna throw out a take, tell me if you disagree.

As good as some cuts of steak can be. Even if they are cooked perfect. Juicy, tender, melt in your mouth, etc. No cut of steak, no matter how high quality, tastes better than a top quality cheeseburger.

The grease, the melty gooey cheese, the way everything comes together, it's something that no steak can ever match, as good as some steaks are.

(I don't mean cheesesteak btw I mean a steak steak)

Completely different culinary creations... and I disagree.   A great cheeseburger is a wonderful thing.   But a perfect steak is light years ahead of a cheeseburger.   A cheeseburger is just a wonderful way to use the less desirable parts of the beef.

I said since the draft that Keegan is the kind of guy who won't start right away but once he gets his feet wet and in to the lineup, he's there for good. I think he can be a very solid G in the NFL. 

Agree.  Keegan is a grinder type and he'll find a way to have a long NFL career.  Reminds me of Jon Runyan in mentality and grit, obviously different positions, though Runyan's mentality was more 'guard-like' than a true OT.

So if I have a gooey, tasty cheeseburger in front of me and suddenly a well-prepared steak is placed next to it, am I "down" on the cheeseburger if I choose to eat the steak?

Yes.

Eric Lindros.

Any word on how some of the UDFA's are performing (Gabe Hall, Anim Dankwah, Milton, etc.)???  I think Castles and Ayedze are both already gone.

If you like the cheeseburger that’s in front of you you don’t leave the house to go eat a steak. 

What if I eat the cheeseburger, and then go out for steak and ice cream afterwards?

Can Keegan figure out how to play RG?

Then your Mekhi Becton

The downside is having a former 1st round pick at 360lbs play G?

The downside in 2017 was having exactly that... and Chance Warmack was a waste, sadly.  Then they turned it over to Wis... after they gave up on Seumalo for that season.

I'd all but lock up the Eagles starters not playing. It would be pointless if they aren't playing against starters anyway. And if Harbaugh isn't playing them, the Eagles definitely won't. Harbaugh cares way more about preseason than anyone.

I would have gone with the Eagles greatest ever mack daddy, but he passed away 6 years ago and it feels disrespectful.

I keep forgetting Wentz is the backup there now. Curious to see what Big Red does with him.

Chiefs get off to a blazing start, Mahomes tears his ACL in week 14, Wentz comes off the bench to lead the Chiefs to a SB victory.

@just relax is a Michigan fan and OL guy.   He can likely answer better than me.   But, I do believe that Keegan played exclusively at LG for the last 3 years at UM.   Switching to RG is a bit of a challenge for someone that's been exclusively used on the left side for so long.   It can be done, but I don't think its as easy as many people think.  Switching sides involves doing everything backwards to the way you have been doing it.

 

BUT, I also think that there is enough of a shuffle at RG right now with Becton and Steen that they don't need to mix in another guy there right now.  But, I think Keegan will be an NFL fixture eventually.  Just my two cents.

Can I get a little of his rookie deal?  Just $2M will get it done for me.

Becton has actually shown he can play in the NFL though. Warmack never did. 

Uh oh, 49ers already have the Aiyuk replacement in the works.  They won't miss a beat.

But he's never shown he can play OG.   He's a lottery ticket.  We'll see what pay off, if any, comes from it.   But, at this point in his career, his former draft status is completely meaningless.  There's a reason that the Eagles got him for peanuts at the stage of the offseason that they signed him.

DL depth on the way 

I always liked him and wish they would have kept him.

McLane kinda crushed Pickett for today's performance.

It should also be noted, he "broke the record" on a walk through day. 

Does anyone other than irrational Hurts homers get excited about a starting QB being able to go through walk through without an Int?

Asterick on that record.  I mean that's the worst record breaking since Favre bent over and took a sack from Strahan so he could "break" a record.
