A picture is worth a 1000 words. Need to trade Hurts, can’t have McKee always looking over his shoulder

He makes me think of Steve Smith although he's a bit taller.

I love the optimism.

Context?

The Eagles social media posted it today, showing Hurts being happy for McKee, I guess the pic was from a game last year they just decided to use.

'Danny' Tanner McKee

Because he's always cleaning up out there on the field...

A lot of the time he will. But can't control that on every play. And that's only a few WRs In named. There will be WRs Ringo will have to cover this season who are quick twitch.

I trust Fangio to scheme the best matchups. It is never going to be flawless.

Bo said the Browns and Saints tried to trade for McKee.

Thanks. That makes sense. I thought he had lost a tooth or some else oral.

I was hoping to see something more out of Cooper based on the reaction in here and his stat line. He doesn’t look fast, doesn’t seem to have much burst or wiggle. With an odd body type, maybe he would benefit from dropping like 10 pounds. Doesn’t need to be 210 at his height.

He's got a Deebo body type.

Is Patrick Johnson the best Eagles preseason player of all time?

Naaaaahhhhh! Nasty Nate holds that honor.

He's just a rookie, it's one game, preseason, all that stuff aside.

Mondon was pretty underwhelming for all the hype he was getting this TC.

I thought he played really well from a being in the right position standpoint. His tackling is what needs work.

Wrong:

"That's a guy who kind of exemplifies what it means to be an Eagle, so it's great character, captain, testing numbers, intelligence, plays the way it should be played, practices the way it should be played,” Roseman said when asked to explain the definition on a red star.”

It’s all about the intangibles. The fact that a scout would pound the table for this kind of player is self evident.

There’s literally a draft day video on Day 3 where one of the scouts was going to bat for Smith to Howie

My thoughts on the game:

McKee is a starting NFL QB, arm is nice, but what stands out is his vision and quick decision making. The next guy in showed he's not a NFL starting QB b/c he lacks those qualities. I'd try to extend McKee, as a late round pick he's gambling that he'd get a chance elsewhere (HCs and GMs tend to commit to higher draft picks) whereas he can develop here and make enough to set himself up for life then try to land a starting job in 3-4 years when he's got a bigger body of work - put it this way, if a team isn't offering a 1st or 2nd, McKee is better off staying here (i.e. a team isn't paying enough to give him a fair shot to start).

Shipley could start for a lot of teams, explosive burst, reminds me of Charlie Garner but more physical, doesn't bounce it outside, willing to put his head down and grind when there's no hole.

DIllon looked like he's 100%, no sure he's got the first step to start, but a solid change of pace who looked natural catching the ball.

Steen looked fine, Kendall is an "Eagles center," they been going with quick undersized guys (Jackson being the one exception) who can block on the second level since (brain fart) the OL coach before Stout.

Hinton and Williams are probably PS material, don't see enough that another team would claim them so Lamm, Pryor, Kinnard and Keegan for 3 spots. If Keegan can play C, he'll have an edge, but they need two who can play OT. Stash one veteran on PS if he's not claimed.

Cooper was a revelation, not his numbers, but how he got them. Don't think he has the speed to play outside on a regular basis, but really good body control, hands and concentration. At 5'11 210, he's a RB after the catch. Has a bright future as a slot WR.

Granson made a good case for himself, 3rd TE has to do more than catch the ball, showed ST qualities.

The 4-2-5 struggled to stop the run, not surprising give how undersized it was with Hall and Robinson at DT and two undersized edges. Hall was more physical than I expected, not sure he's a good enough pass rusher to ever start, but can rotate in and hold his own. Robinson flashed a little but needs to get stronger. Sykes showed well, and I want to see more of Evans at NT, looked OK when they went to their 5-2 set.

Mondon is going to redshirt this season, it was obvious he lacks NFL strength right now, even as a nickel LB would struggle against draws. Campbell looked raw, not going to read much into this game, Trotter can start in the base defense with Baun.

Jackson and Ringo did not look good, but as JR pointed out, this is a vanilla scheme where they were left on an island with a limited pass rush - in a real game Burrows wouldn't have that much time and they'd be getting more safety help and disguised coverages.

In the same fashion, safeties didn't show much, but they weren't give a lot of opportunity to do so.

I think DB may be the one position where practice matters more than exhibition games, b/c knowing your assignments and not revealing coverage are key elements, and you don't see that with vanilla schemes.

Nate is the best Training Camp player but stunk in the games. Patrick Johnson makes actual plays during the games.

Yes. If anyone offers even just a 1, you take it.

Some other backup QB from Cleveland or Giants will shake loose to be backup. I only see McKee being a one year "rental" here anyway.

The Browns just signed Tyler Huntley because their guys are banged up. He should be free at some point too. They aren't keeping 5 QBs on that team. I'd be fine with him even if he's a slight downgrade if it means they Eagles got a 1st for McKee.

His body type and movement reminds me of Chris chambers, about 5'11" but long arms, pretty muscular.

Hopefully moore can keep improving and showing out

1 hour ago, Sack that QB said:

The play Ringo got beat on are the exact type of plays I said at the time during the draft that I was worried about him from watching him in college, since Georgia is on practically every weekend. He is not a good lateral mover, and he's not fluid. I actually don't think he sold out on that play as much as it looked like initially. I think a slow twitch CB just got beat by a quick twitch WR. I think Ringo will have more success with WRs like Mike Evans, Keon Coleman, Odunze, Drake London, etc. Bigger guys, straight line speed guys, or possession type guys who are great vertically and aren't sharp cutters. But unfortunately WRs in this division like Lamb, McLaurin, Nabers are the fast, quick twitch types.

I don't know why they let Rodgers go. He was good insurance in case. But I don't think Howie would have unless Fangio vouched for Ringo.

Which begs the question, why hasn't he been tried out at safety yet? A lot of folks projeccted him as a safety during the draft. I was shocked last night at house slow and just unagile he looked.

It's the Browns. You can never be too certain what hair brained moves they will make. It seems unlikely, but giving Watson a fully guaranteed contract and paying crazy draft capital for the right to do it was pretty unlikely, too; as was drafting Sanders after already having traded for Pickett, resigned Flacco, and drafted Gabriel.

Nasty Nate was a product of fan hype. I don't remember him ever really performing over the top. Patrick Johnson is a monster every preseason and we'll argue about how to keep him on the team just for him to be a ST player. When I saw that was him getting the sack and the INT last night I didn't get excited at all. We know who he is and what he is. Had that been APR or Mondon, I would have been pumped knowing that their potential is showing.
