We've got 20 picks in the next 2 drafts as of right now. I highly doubt we make 20 selections. So I imagine Howie will do a lot of his usual little moves up and down, but overall I expect them to move up more than down. 

*19.  Only currently projected for 3 comp picks

WOOHOO 10,000 views on YouTube! Still only a small drop in the bucket of what's needed to get monetized, though. We only have 6 eligible hours of viewing, out of 4,000 needed and 95 subscribers out of 1,000 needed.

Add up the draftees plus UDFAs over the last few years and how many total rookie players do you get each year on average? Does it matter whether they are drafted or UDFAs?

Sure, but I guess that's a matter of whether or not they feel as if there is a major difference between the round 6/7 guys and the top end UDFAs. They could go any way really. But historically Howie makes a fair number of moves and historically we seem to cast a pretty wide set of UDFAs. So IMO some trade ups seem most likely to me. 

Yea, it's getting banned

That's Fn bull&^%. There's no data. All the other teams that can't stop it and/or suck at it on offense just want it gone.

I hope Sirianni tries to run up the score on every team that votes against the tush push. Just embarrass them.

After hearing Lurie's comments about Goedert...

yea, he's gone too.

What a lsoer Bo Wulf trying to make Lurie make a political statement about the White House visit.  

Why is it so important to get rid of goedert if he doesn't have any guaranteed money and he's still playing at a high rate.  Don't we save more against the cap if we release him next year?

So why was he at 50% the first four weeks and everything magically changed after the bye week? Are you suggesting his decrease in snaps from week 5 onward was only due to the opposing team play calls? 

This is silly Matt. Either you trust Vic Fangio or don’t. It’s pretty clear that Fangio decided after the first four weeks of the season that there was too much Jordan Davis and not enough results. So he changed that by limiting his playing time.

Look at the scores of the first four games.  In all of them the opposing team had access to their full playbook.  Then look at the Super Bowl.  Did Andy have access to his full playbook?

I trust Fangio explicitly. He clearly knows how to both create advantages, and leverage those advantages once created.

Why do you think Fangio went with a light box and no blitzes in the Super Bowl?

If you have to search for the data that hard, then there can't be that many safety issues. It's like telling a person you don't like them before you meet them and then trying to find a reason to justify your thoughts. This is beyond ridiculous. If it doesn't get banned this year, I hope the Eagles open up the season and run the play 4 straight times to get a 1st down. Then run it again until they stop them.

Why did Jordan Davis play 13 snaps in the Wild Card round?

Don't look at a snapshot of last year. Look at all the games between the bye and the Super Bowl.

I'm just confused. Why do they need data? Why can't they just use their own common sense judgement. Can anyone recall an injury sustained because of the tush push? I sure can't. You're telling me that a 340lb OL pulling around the edge and obliterating a 190lb CB is safe, but players leaning and pushing on each other from less than 1/2 yard apart isn't? There should be no argument for the play to be banned. They should have laughed in the Packers face.

Packers: We want the tush push banned.

NFL: Show us the data as to why.

Packers: We don't have any.

NFL: That's a compelling argument. 

Packers: Right?

Ok, which one of you dressed up like a bird and took a dump on him? Fess up... so we can award you a special EMB badge!

Rogey boy doesn't have the votes. The majority knows the pleas to ban it are lame and weak, but keep whining Roger.

Eagles should run it on 1st and 10 on the first play next season just for spite.

They already have the vote of half the league in favor of the ban.  Its not majority one way or the other.

Ywah it's stupid.  Catastrophic injury could happen on any play.  The fact that no injuries have happened on it at all for the plastic 4 seasons means it's actually probably the safest play in football.

The question was something along the lines of "How hard would it be to have a team without Dallas Goedert on it this upcoming season?"

Paraphrasing, but Lurie reiterated what he said earlier about players leaving, how they have to have a strategy to win big in future years which means making business decisions in the short term. He then said how much he cares about players "like Milton Williams, Josh Sweat and CJGJ" and how he gets to know players personally throughout the season and how they can't resign everyone. Then he ended it with something along the lines of "with Dallas it's pretty similar to Zach Ertz". 

The whole answer basically revolved around people already gone and compared the situation to shipping off Zach Ertz a few years ago. I guess things can change but I was pretty surprised with the answer and reasoning he gave. Howie and Nick both kind of side stepped the question and said things like "he's on the team right now" but Lurie seemed to hint pretty hard he's likely gone.

Because they would have to pay him $15M for this year and they don't want to.

I respect the opponents of the tush push who just flat out say they don’t like it. All the other morons searching for a pseudo legitimate reason are pathetic.

Say it gets banned, how exactly do we legislate that?

You’re worried about other players pushing ball carriers forward? You better ban all instances of that.

You're worried about OL posture? Pfft, good Fing luck defining/legislating that. We can’t even get Fing holding right.

You’re worried about "football plays”? Ban spiking the football and kneel downs.

It's all just talking points and lies so they don't come off as sore losers. Teams can't stop it so they want it gone. It's not a coincidence that the Packers and Rams are two of the biggest voices for banning it who both lost to the Eagles twice. Then you have everyone from the McVay tree pushing to get it banned "coincidently" and the Cowboys who are doing just out of spite.
