He better sign his contract quickly. He needs to get a phone charger!

He also has 322 unread text messages. He’s giving me way too much anxiety between that and the charge.

It would be quite a massive thing if it works out.   I'll take a more cautious approach though.   It would be nice, but I thought the same thing about Chance Warmack.   That didn't work out so rosy.  

Seems to me that as an asset he is an option with extreme convexity.

You pay a few million up front, the payoff is worth literally tens of millions, and you can wash your hands of him after a year if it doesn’t work out.

I do think there is a pretty good chance he works out. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but I like our chances.

There's no downside to kicking the tires on him, literally.  Great deal of potential upside, minimal cost.  But, I will wait before I contemplate the impact he could have long term for a while.  No need to rush to judgement.  Good move that could be a great great move.

The thing about Chance is that he never had good tape. It was all projection. Becton at least had some good reps in NY.

Yeah, I just look at it as a basic risk/reward:

One year commitment at low cost. If it doesn’t work out, you have no long term liability. If it works out it’s a massive win.

Very small opportunity cost that is potentially has a massive impact on the team over the next 7 years or so.

So just from that perspective I like it. Then when you put it in the context of our coaching and organization, where the odds of success are greater than it would be with other franchises, I love it.

Bad bet

he is a lotto ticket. But if anyone can revive his career its Stoutland

It would take a lot or an unexpected scenario for Becton to become Lane’s heir or a long term fixture here. He signed a one year deal, and if Stoutland can get him right and he fills in decently for some spot starts or limited playing time, he’s going to have a huge market come free agency. If he’s just a backup for the next three years without someone trying to poach him away, he’s probably not that good.

Add in he prefers LT, I don’t know how willing the Eagles would be to accommodate that after Mailata has been there for so long and developed a consistent relationship playing next to Dickerson. 

I don’t really see a path outside of Johnson having a career ending injury this year. 

I'm high on Becton with actual coaching, but he has a TON of work to do even with Stout. 

Baldy said that the team is very happy with Steen this off season and that he has an excellent work ethic and has gotten much stronger.

Maybe he would be better inside where there's not so much space for DE's to use against him. Working in close quarters with a good player on either side of him may be a benefit and help with some of his weaknesses, just a thought.

This just really hammers home how bad the coaching was on offense last year
 

 

I'm looking high and low through that table and see no Eagles numbers.  Am I missing something?

Very curious to see if and who we keep for RB 4. The first three backs are obvious, unless Kenny is moved, which seems highly doubtful. Ty Davis Price who was guaranteed some money, has better size then the other guys and runs with power, same with Kendall Milton. Really hope Ty can make the team and maybe get Milton onto the practice squad or if he looks better in camp than just keep him as RB 4. Both seem much better than Kennedy Brooks who never seemed to bring much to the table. 

RB4 will be on the PS IMO.

Getting bull rushed by a smaller guy is bad but a sign of playing too high and bad balance

Seems to be a pattern with him, really big guy doesnt bend well ...☹️

Get him running under the cage.

Lose weight and improve core strength

get him in the barn with Lane

Well…Chance Warmack was disappointing for those of us who figured maybe he reaches his immense draft hype with a second chance in Philly.

He didn’t do that.  But he wasn’t terrible either.  He started some games, rotated some games, backed up too.  

The lottery ticket didn’t hit, but he wasn’t a waste of a roster spot either.  I’d take Chance Warmack 2.0 over essentially any backup OG we’ve had on the roster recently.

Didn't you see how the team collapsed once Dom was banned from the sidelines?    Who else could have had that deleterious effect on the entire team so immediately?   

 

Dom might need to be elevated to Number 2.

It was also when Goeddert got injured and we had no viable pass catching TE.

He was 1000% a waste of a roster spot. No team bothered signing him the year after he was here and he never played another snap of football at all. 

He was out of the league at 27 despite  being a top 10 pick and only in the NFL for 5 years. Even Opeta lasted longer than him. 

Watched maybe 20 minutes of the tom Brady roast, the way people were talking about it I thought it would be way funnier. There were more jokes about the audience than about Brady, and none of them were especially funny. Overall no idea how that got the hype it did

Isn’t that most roasts?  The roasters and the audience get heat too.  
 

TBF, I haven’t watched it. So if it was WAY skewed away from Brady, I’ll take that back. (And the dude doesn’t have a personality so I could see it going that way)
