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.

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 had to look up centers salaries

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. 

 

 

If LJ retires, we are either moving Becton to RT or drafting a guy. You can’t be a run first team without a dominant offensive line and, all due respect to Johnson, he’s not the guy.

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.  

good to know you think its ok to pick on the successful owner. But no one can pick on your QB crush who actually stinks.

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.

So many good things aren't the same as they were before.

Ive always liked butterfinger, but really was never my choice. Probably only had it if it was given as halloween candy.  Very seldom bought one.  So, I havent had them regularly enough to say I can notice a difference. But Ive had them recently. Halloween wasnt that long ago. And I cant imagine complaining. 

I do notice a difference in the crunch sometimes. But I assume it depends on how fresh they are.

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.   

Saved it? That guy screwed it the hell up caving to the league by firing his GM, bringing on a league appointed idiot to run things,  who hired his even more brain dead son who made horrible trades and blew #1 after trading up, only to hire DM who only knows how to get washed up names, and extended him to reward him for ineptitude. They have never made it out of the second round. He is a POS.

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.  

Listen, Bob Marley, you need to slow down with TWO half ozs and an 18 pack with a champagne kicker.  You will be comatose by halftime. 

Also please dm me your address. I'll be there by 11.

Your dog won't mind. You KNOW (s)he will be hiding with all the screaming.

That's such a non-human response.

did you guys all tl;dr my post recognizing Clint Hurtt? I need a couple likes on that. 

We got guys trolling me about post count, gaslighting me about trolling when Ive said nothing wrong, RTK arguing with me because hes allowed to troll. I made a good post. I know its a bit long, but I give it a 10/10 and I want some likes dammit.

Theyre still a solid 8-10/10 depending on the consistency.

taco bell just brought back the carmel apple empanada for their decades menu. So sad they couldnt bring back the chaco taco. Have to imagine they would have to call in police to control traffic if that were to happen

My guess is Williams is out of our price range, and with how deep the draft class is at DT, finding a replacement on a rookie deal should be relatively easy.

Sweat didn’t get much interest last offseason. He could be cheap enough to bring back.

If not, just double up on this absolutely LOADED draft class at edge. One early and one in the mid rounds. We have starters with Nolan and Hunt. Hopefully Huff can give us something. Add in a pair of rookies and we should be good for a long time.

Wish they'd just keep the damn tostada, they have all the ingredients already and continuously stock them because they use them to make various menu items that they keep on the menu (the shell they use is inside every crunchwrap for example).
