I hope Josh Harris gets pelted with rocks tomorrow if he’s in that stadium. What a shithead owner @RememberTheKoy.  

 

Yeah such a shithead owner, has completely turned that franchise around far quicker than Hollywood Lurie ever did.

Josaiah is one of my favorites. I brought him up in here a few weeks back. 

You gotta love him.

Question is- is the talent transcending, or do you actually have to worry about the size as a full time player?

He certainly looks like he can set an edge just fine and be a 3 down edge. Im curious what his measurements will be to see how closely (or not) he measures up to Graham.

I really dont understand why you are even here. You are no better than the Seahawks fan who left, or the Buccs fan who was banned from the old board, or the Pittsburgh fan who was banned, or the Packers fan who just showed up to troll last week. 

You heap praise upon Harris for his ownership of a division rival when he is known Philly failure, and in doing so now, you tear down Lurie who is arguably the best owner in the NFL. Knocking Lurie to prop up Harris seems pretty indefensible. 

Its blatant trolling. On top of that, It makes it look like you are not even a Philly fan at all. So why be here?

yeah. But if they win the super bowl, will be nice for him to go out on top.

Honestly, I think theyd be alright re-signing Fred Johnson, and keeping Becton at guard. Might be the most economical. And then you can draft a RT to groom to take Fred's place. Hes no All-pro, but I think hes as solid as most starting RTs in the league. Especially if given even more time with Stout. 

 

 

I guess for him, but he's still the best RT in the league. I'd hate to see him go right now.
I like Becton at guard quite a bit, but he, Howie and Stout may have other ideas. I'm not as confident with him at RT.

He was an elite tackle prospect for a reason. If they think he still has it in him to kick out there, I believe them. Im just concerned if he keeps this level of performance up. Id like a team friendly deal with large bonuses for games played, and then accolades like pro bowl, all pro, playoff appearances, etc.

Im sure Howie will structure it right.

He plays similar to Nolan. There's others but he's pretty high on my wish list, as early as round 1 even if his stocks rises. I like the speed he and another player Mike Green would bring to the edge which I think will be very useful against a QB like Daniels too.

Hilarious.  I'm not a Philly fan because I like the Sixers and the owner that saved the franchise and made it relevant again.  This low life calls me a troll meanwhile he spends every day of the year constantly hating on the most successful QB in franchise history and constantly spreading his nonstop misery after every loss during the winningest era of Eagles football.   

All stocked up for tomorrow. 

Green chile huevos rancheros for breakfast (always eat green chile on gamedays), 1/2 oz sativa to get me amped for kickoff and coming out of the half, 1/2 oz indica to keep me calm if things get tight, 18 pack Miller Lite cuz win or lose I am tying one on and champagne in the fridge to spray all over the place when the Eagles punch their ticket.

Watching it at home with my dog because I'm too much of a nutter to listen to other people talk during the game. People they're the worst lol.

He does play like Nolan. Maybe even stronger and faster. Also, maybe even smaller.

Nolan looked like a man child on those Georgia defenses. Had elite pop in his hands to shock and then control OTs. Then, oddly looked too weak for his whole rookie year in the NFL.

Steward holds the edge well in the Big 10 which is noteworthy. But still a projection to the NFL level.

He just might be able to do it as a rookie too. I dont know?

Ill be out of this world excited to add a player with that kind of athleticism to this defense. If the eagles believe in the projection, Im all for it. They should be as cautious as anyone after little Huff busted here. So if they still think Stewart is capable, then I trust the work they put behind coming to that conclusion.

Baun has no shot of returning.  Although maybe they will do the very rare franchise tag on him.  

I don't know how much he's going to get after playing like an all pro even into the playoffs but for years I've been told Howie is a cap wizard

Howie better bring back Baun, Becton, and Williams or I don't want to hear that cap wizard BS again

still trolling I see. Tell us more about what a big Commanders fan you are in the week where the eagles about about to face them in the NFCCG. Talk about the most successful QB in franchise history while you let us know about the owner's shortcomings despite all of his success.

Yep to both. Becton stays at RG for one more year. Lane play 2025 and Fred is the swing T. Come 2026, Steen moves to RG, Becton to RT.

Lost me with the miller lite but everything else sounds like a blast

Im just quickly scratching the surface on this DL class and man people arent kidding when they say its a great one. Heres another beast on the edge. He plays a bit high, but these are junior highlights. Maybe hes gotten even better.

 

I mean, come on...

 

Howie can close his eyes and pick a random DL name out of a hat and he will be making a great pick this year. what the hell is this?

Oof, that might be a rough transition albeit necessary - imagining this team without Lane (ie w/o a dominant OL)… the Cleveland browns come to mind.

Do you need me to send you some tissues to help with all the crying you are doing over your little meltdown right now?  I'm not even the one who brought up Harris, your little trolling buddy did.

If we win it all i fully expect lane and BG to hang em up, maybe even slay too.

I don't think he can bring back all three.  Jurgens and Blankenship likely getting new deals this summer too although they shouldn't cost as much.  Whether it's through a trade or free agency I think they end up targeting a veteran edge rusher that could be costly.  

 

I just found out that in 2019, Butterfinger got a new recipe. I bought one today because I was craving it and immediately noticed a difference. So, of course, I did a little research and found out Ferraro changed the recipe. I hate them now. Being an adult sucks.

Really kind of weird comment by Baun this week about being 2-2 and then at that point, players decide to start buying in to Fangio's scheme and really start trying to understand what he is asking of them.

I know you all remember being critical of the Nolan Smith pick even this year. He turned it on around the time of Graham's injury. Early on, looked like more of the same from his rookie year.

Im not sure how many will remember or admit to being critical of Jalen Carter this year. First few weeks, many people expressing disappointment in his inconsistency. And Im not here to tell you guys that you were wrong in that moment. 

Same, for Vic Fangio himself. This is one I am guilty of. I think I was one of them in the first few weeks who was already disgusted with this system and the way it looked after previous failures of Fangio disciples. 

 

So.... who among them in the locker room wasnt doing their job? Who wasnt buying in at first and why? Who was at fault for making it look so wrong? I guess we are past the point of that mattering. We shouldnt look back and open those wounds. The team defeated those demons. Leave them in the past.

At this point the players have bought in. Fangio looks like a genius- living up to his reputation as an upper echelon DC in the NFL for years.

 

Finally coming around to my point- do we really have something here in DL coach Clint Hurtt? Its not JUST Fangio, right? Much of the early defensive struggle was due to absolutely no pressure from the DL. 

At one point very early on, Ojomo and Booker looked like our best DTs. Not Williams, Carter or Davis. Ojomo the rookie, and Booker a UDFA a year ago. Since then Carter has not only come around as a more consistent version of his pretty impressive rookie self. But, he has reached new heights far exceeding that. Nolan Smith has become an NFL player who should be a double digit sack guy next year with the full season starting. Jalyx Hunt, such a raw prospect, is NFL ready. Getting playing time in post-season games, and making plays. Players across the board at all DL positions are making strides. 

Clint Hurtt- future assistant coach of the year? Future DC candidate?

This came to mind because of my comment about Howie being able to pick a DL out of a hat in this draft and it being a great pick no matter what. And you know- its probably time to say we can be more confident in that because we have Clint Hurtt to coach that rookie up.
