Yup.  And that's part of why he dropped a bit in the draft.   He was old on draft day.  Lots of folks around here negatively grade 24 year olds in the draft.

 

Smith was 23 when we drafted him. Does the 1 year make that much of a difference on draft?

This opening night has a weird vibe compared to years past.

How so

Milton Williams gets single-blocked a ton + has an elite coverage group behind him. He's a good player, but at best the 3rd best player on our DL. Ojomo can take some of his snaps next year and we should be ok. We could also kick Graham inside next year (assuming no retirement).

Garrett is a different animal. You have to double-him. If we add him + Carter, either one gets singled-up OR we're playing 7 against 4 receivers all the time. Advantage us.

The wild card may be how much Schwartz likes Huff.  If he likes him enough, then the Browns "ask” in the trade will be substantially less.

Wait why isnt sirianni shaving his head??

Wishcasting, man

What are the odds this was an ESP question?

Yup. I’m actually more optimistic than you. I think we can replace 100% of what Williams does in year 2. He benefits so much from being sandwiched between Carter and Sweat, I think a first or second round guy with a year of coaching will look just as good.

Also, speaking of Garrett…

 

The Eagles swallow $29+ million in Dead Cap if Huff is included in the trade.  That balances out the $36 million for the most part.

I don’t disagree.

 

NFL network coverage blows 

It'll be interesting to see if Fangio just sits in zones against Mahomes. It feels like a recipe for a slow death unless our DL just dominates, which doesn't feel likely against their OL. I don't know if blitzing is the answer, or if we need to dabble in some more man coverage.

Landon Dickerson didn't get an injury designation on Friday so he's playing in the SB, but curious how he's walking around out there on media day. If he looks ok. Haven't seen anything yet.

Didn't a period of time exist where we were going thru a new doctor staff every year?

Was a period of time from 2017-2020 where it felt like every year we were getting decimated by injury 

Random scenario:

Eagles up 6 with a minute to go. Chiefs have no timeouts left. Eagles have the ball. 4th and 1. From the 23 yard line. 40 yard FG makes it a two possession game, essentially game over. Tush push also = game over.

What do you do? Attempt the 40 yarder with Elliott or do the tush push?

Tush push 

FG feels like too many variables that could go wrong.

Also keeps the ball out of Mahomes hands.
