Peters right now is still better than Dillard and Pryor at Guard pretty much equals Dillard. The only way they could screw this up would be to keep Peters at Guard. I tend to agree. I don’t see a better option for LT right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Eagles- major injuries to major players- every year. It's nothing short of a dark curse. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliEagle Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm hoping that Howie tries to trade for some solid depth. We probably won't get a starting caliber OL in a trade, but we could possibly find a good quality depth player that could start, if needed. With Brooks and Dillard already out without even getting to the regular season, we need more insurance to protect Wentz. We don't know what Driscoll is yet and even Pryor is a little bit of an unknown over a longer stretch of time. Mailata still looks like a project.

Maybe a spot start but for the full season? Only a matter of time now they announce JP back to LT and a competition (likely with Pryor in the lead initially) for the starting spot at RG.

You mean since the playoff loss to Seattle where he played every offensive snap or the 4 previous games where he played all but 3 snaps? Nobody on the Eagles has played a full game since then and they are all a year older!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP is a pro and it’s not going to take him much time to get to where he needs to be, but it could take some time with Pryor. Still they BETTER put JP back at tackle.

Our next best LT now is Sem. If Peters goes down, I'd move Sem there and plug in a vet LG to be acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any of the guys who will be available this late will either be not any better than what we have or too expensive. I don't think things are that bad. Obviously if you are of the opinion that Mailata can't play, then you are going to feel differently. But to me, he has been just as good as Vaitai in the preseason games he's been in, so I am not worried about him. He's played against Josh Allen and Matt Judon, who both made the pro bowl last year, so it's not like he has never seen a quality defensive lineman in a game situation. Herbig and Opeta are probably in the same ballpark as Pryor, so it gives us some depth there, and Pryor can move to tackle if we need him. Plus, Driscoll and Tega might be ready to step in after a month or so. Driscoll has gotten some favorable reviews, so I think with a little bit of time he might be ready. You have to remember that these guys are facing Brandon Graham, Malik Jackson and Fletcher Cox every day in practice. I have a feeling that games will actually be easier for them most of the time.

You have to remember that these guys are facing Brandon Graham, Malik Jackson and Fletcher Cox every day in practice. I have a feeling that games will actually be easier for them most of the time. The problem is that we will probably lose another couple of them for at least a few games when the season starts and there is actually constant physical play, so at that point we would be on fumes. Wentz can't afford another injury. The Eagles need to go OL heavy now on the roster. It might mean going less on WR, RB or somewhere else. It would suck to go less on WR because it looks like we finally have some young talent that could develop, but with these OL injuries...maybe we go 5 WR, instead of 6. But, we definitely need to go OL heavy now. Herbig and Pryor show promise at times, but we really don't know what we have in them over the long haul. And, we know that Peters, at his age, is constantly getting nicked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Jack Driscoll baby! Seriously that guy is going to play and contribute this year. But hey, whatever, Peters was probably going to be the LT eventually anyways, Dillard was going to get trucked week one by Chase Young. Howie just needs to go find a vet depth guy and that isn't too hard to find. I actually like Pryor, dude's a mauler and flanked by Johnson and Kelce he will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
