Eagles sign AJ Dillon

[ManchesterEagle]

Will immediately slot in as starting safety while playing some edge.

 

Seriously though - good move. Coming off an injury but should be ready and only 26. Punishing runner and not a bad receiver. Should allow Barkley more rest.

Why did this need its own topic when it’s clearly discussed in the 400++ pages of the blog! Hahaha

i like the move wanted him last year before we signed Barkley… might do something might not but I like his size and he is decent catching and blocking. 
 

good be great for those 2 fullback sets we run all the time now because the emb trolls say Jalen can’t throw a football.

TRY TO KEEP UP. Its now- Jalen can not throw a football, unless its in the NFCCG and super bowl.

I get enjoyment out of watching him torch the Steelers

This is a loaded offense now. Barkley, Dillon & Hurts to run the ball. They also bring back the FB, though he can contribute in ST.

Defense has lost more players.  Look for more action in the draft & FA by FO.

Because it’s standard to create a new topic on new signings and not everyone wants to trawl through a blog.

Agreed - if he’s healthy opens up a lot of possibilities. I still think they draft a RB at some point as well, but not early!

We needed a punishing bruising back to help salt away games. If he can help fulfill that role and take that wear and tear off Barkley, then this is a great signing. Think of how Legarrette Blount used to get 6+ yards per carry late in games and just drain the clock. Having a 250lb bruiser means even the best run defenses can be cracked.

I guess if the Eagles can’t tush push then they send this guy at you. I do wonder if this guy makes the roster though.

Damn Saquon always breaking 60 yarders when we're tryna ice games away. Can't be having that sheet next season 😂😂

Just busting your chops I come from when people used to race to start  a topic in here! Now it seems everything is hidden in the blog!! Even stupid stuff on the Phillies and sixers! I venture in their more often to look around these days but I used to hate that blog with a passion!

Yea the neck injury is a bit concerning. Still hoping for Donovan Edwards from Michigan day 3 in the draft
