A couple of changes were made on the server today, unrelated (as far as I know) to the recent sluggishness that we've experienced. But the changes could potentially help. So let me know if you notice any differences. Also with the embedding issues.

It's why Johnny Wilson is so good

Thoughts?

All good except the 1st

Imagine the NFL banning the forward pass back in the early 1900s because it wasn't a true football play. 

The NFL would rather this than the tush push.

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.

Sounds like alternative facts 

So 16 teams are trying to stop the shove by other means and 16 teams might embrace it and should be trying to perfect it themselves. Stock up or stock down day for NTs?

Debatable.

Strength.

Weight.

Speed.

Quickness.

Intelligence.

Rabadi: The #Eagles have 30 visit with Texas A&M DT Shemar Turner, per source. 

Turner, played four years at A&M, including eight games as true freshman in 2021. His hand usage is really awesome and helps make up for lack of arm length. Extremely high and consistent motor with great pass rush move set. Has such quick first step to compliment his repertoire. 

Turner was excellent in 2023, but took a slight step back in 2024. I’d bet on his best coming out in the NFL, however.

He’s in the wrong corner, but I assume Shemar2 had a better 2023. Tyliek is with him (so what do I know… unless I’m Tom Donohoe).

Lurie with an interesting comment on the brotherly shove.  Basically, said that they feel is a lot safer of a play for the QB than the traditional QB sneak.  In fact, he said that was big part of the reason that they developed the play.  Said he thought it was ironic that teams we trying to ban on the basis of player safety.

Majority of your owners oppose a ban so yeah, Roger, rebuke them.

Kind of like Mike Tyson you need a bit more talent in other areas (footwork, head movement) and better technique to overcome a skilled opponent’s reach.

Well that’s kind of what Goodell is saying.  No to Green Bay’s proposal but how about going back twenty years to what the rule was.  Being short of memory about history is rampant these days and obviously extends to this.  The old rule was discarded because it is so hard to consistently enforce.  What an absolute dumbshit. 

If they ban the tush push it's just going to give every other fan in the league ammo and justification to put an * on the Eagles Super Bowl win and Super Bowl trip in 2022.

Word is that it's an even split of 16 right now.  With Goodell and the competition committee now actively campaigning for it I would say chances are the league gets its 24 votes by May. 

So basically the news we got today is they're banning our play and getting rid of our starting TE, great!!!
