Mahomes is a Hurts Hugger.

Yea I was wrong about Johnson. 
 

Still with Mathis, his only AP and PB seasons came under Stoutland. That has to count for something. 

Give them both credit. Mudd discovered Kelce and Mathis, Stoutland finished the job.

Castillo was a pretty good OL coach as well, from 1998-2010 until Reid did something stupid (if he wants to move to defense, start him as DL or LB coach, and work his way into being a DC over time). Developed Tra Thomas, Welbourn, Mayberry, Runyan, Bobbie Williams, Shaun Andrews.

Eagles will always have one of the highest paid OL coaches, same with DL - Lurie prioritizes line play and is willing to pay to play.

He’ll be there, and eww. No. 

I’m curious about his speed. If he’s low 4.4s I’m interested. He produced with a bad OL, seems to have good strength, speed, balance and vision.

Has Lane Johnson passed Jason Kelce as the eagles best OL of all time?

Lane has always been a more consistent player with no real weaknesses.  Kelce had struggles at different times with bigger DTs and with holding.  Jason Peters is still probably the number 1 OL.  Lane probably needs 2 more very good seasons to move past Jason.  I think he's probably at least even with Kelce already.  Of course, it's not exactly apples to apples. 

@Joe Ball your boy had some words for Cowboys fans. 

Somebody check on Micah Parsons too.

Hard to compare, Lane was the better athlete (maybe the most athletic OL ever, HS QB, college TE then to OT, ran a 4.7 40 at 300 lbs at the combine).

Kelce however made all the calls and was the leader of the OL.

Both are HOF locks at this point.

Hurts Mom confronted Nick Wright about his criticism.

I'm starting to dislike Travis Kelce more and more.

AP’s last great season was age 30. He only had one more 1,000 yard rushing year after with Washington which anyone barely remembers at 1,042 yards.

Saquon just finished his age 27 season. AP had that "forgetful” 1,000 yard season at 33. If that’s what Saquon is 6 years from now then that’s a slam dunk 

And more through the season, growing appreciation for CJGJ.

I have a feeling Barkley is the exception to the rule…will have 4-5 more great seasons barring major injury.

A lot of carries, but barely gets touched behind this OL.

Wow… That’s asking a lot.  I really hope you are right, but I would not count on that. I would not be surprised if they targeted another running back fairly high in this coming draft.

I wouldn’t go DT at 32 other than Nolen.  The depth at Edge is too strong, and if they need another DT both Day 3 and Free Agency are better resource optimization IMO.

There are others I like — TJ Sanders isn’t the 32nd best player but I really like him and don’t think he’d last to our 2nd. A trade down for him would make sense.

Derrick Harmon would be another guy I’d like at 32. Probably more of a high floor, lower ceiling than Nolan, but I think he could plug and play for Milt from day 1 and replicate most of his production.

I’m actually not super enthused by the EDGE players projected to be available at 32. Most seem to be tweeners, and Green sounds like he has massive off field red flags.

Over the years, Dak has had some great talent to work with, multiple all pro/pro bowl talents at WR and OL.

2016:  Elliott, Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, Federick, Martin, Lee LB

2017:  Witten, Smith, Federick, Martin, Lawrence DE

2018:  Elliott, Cooper, Smith, Martin, Lawrence, Van Der Esch, Byron Jones

2019:  Elliott, Cooper, Smith, Federick, Martin, J Smith

2021:  Lamb, Smith, Martin, Parsons, Diggs

2022: Lamb, Biadasz, Martin, Lawrence, Parsons, Diggs

2023:  Lamb, Smith, Martin, Lawrence, Parsons, Bland

2-5 playoff record.

Eagles aren't drafting for 2025 starters, they want rookies who'll sit half the season, play part-time down the stretch and start in 2026-27.

So Howie will probably go for upside over need, before they get to draft day he'll have signed veteran backups for every spot and kids will have to earn PT.

If Sweat and Williams leave, Smith and Hunt start, Huff pass rush specialist, if Becton leaves, Steen and Keegan fight it out, if Baun leaves, Dean, Burks, Trotter.

If Slay retires and Rodgers leaves, Ringo steps into the starter spot.

Ok. That’s not good "well into their 30’s”. There were also two bad years between his last great year and good year. He was on 4 different teams in the span. Sanders also retired at 30 so not sure how he fits either.

This is silly. No, they do not WANT rookies who will sit.

We drafted 2 starters last year. If they can play, they’ll start. It’s just that the eagles roster is so deep that it will be difficult for a rookie to break into the lineup.

But we could easily draft a DT, DE, CB, or slot WR who will get starter level snaps.

Thankful for the other teams that contributed to the Eagles win.

• Giants: gifted us Barkley and DeVonta (partial credit to the Cowboys)
• Commanders: traded to give us DeJean, and allowed us to dominate them in the NFCCG
• Titans: traded away AJ Brown, which got their GM fired
• Saints: Gave us CJGJ the first time, Baun, a 1st round pick used to get Jalen Carter, and hosted us in their stadium for our 2nd Super Bowl win. Previously Sproles and Malcolm Jenkins too. Now they get Moore from us, good luck you'll need it.
• The Bears for trading with us so we could draft Jalen Carter
• Jets for taking Reddick and his contract and Betcon, makes up for Huff
• Every team who passed on Q and DeJean so they fell to us
• Dolphins for partying and whining about hard work, sending Fangio to Philly

Any others?

Dickerson's parade speech will probably be all time based on his pre-game speeches. He might be this year's Kelce from the SB52 parade.

Freaking love him...just says it like it is. He is as frustrated with FO as a lot of former players are, but Emmitt was never about excuses or talk. You are what you are, just do better, fix it, don't talk about it or any other team, everybody has to earn it, professionals understand and respect that, common fans just run their mouth and make excuses. Got to own it.

Depends. They've typically had rookies sit and learn, especially when specifically grooming as a replacement. But Smitty, Dickerson (by way of injury), Q, DeJean, Blankenship (injury) are recent picks who started. 

Depends on the position but say they lose Sweat to FA and BG who is retiring, a top prospect DE could be another rookie starter.

I am a Benjamin Morrison fan and he is top half of the draft pick he didn't have his hip issue.

That "I choose violence" pre-game was epic.
