Perhaps it would be honoring the legacy jersey player if the 1st Round pick each year chooses one of the retired numbers to wear. Retzlaff’s 44 and Brookshier’s 40 and Wistert’s 70 would be logical honorees. Picking players who are no longer alive to be honored in this way could avoid the kind of LT vs. Abdul Carter kerfuffel that happened earlier this year.

#5 - Donovan McNabb

#15 - Steve Van Buren

#20 - Brian Dawkins

#40 - Tom Brookshier

#44 - Pete Retzlaff

#60 - Chuck Bednarik

#70 - Al Wistert

#92 - Reggie White

#99 - Jerome Brown

I would have LOVED if BG said to either Nolan Smith or Jihad Campbell. 55 is yours now. Keep it going. 3 on a DE and 30 on a LB is just pure garbage.

I believe it. I’m mostly joking. Surely he just wanted to diffuse the situation and keep his kid safe from what appeared to be a total weirdo. But… I kinda think he looked like a punk too.

I go to a lot of baseball games and usually the rule of thumb is unless you catch the ball it’s nobodies until you actually have it in your hands and showing it. It’s a mad scramble for a ball that is bouncing in the stands.

At my age now if I got a ball, I would probably just give it to kid in the crowd to make their day. Because they’d be more appreciative of it than me. Unless it was like a home run ball that was historic like Bryce Harper hitting his 500th home run or something. I don’t really need the ball that bad. letting a kid have a Harrison bader ( and i love that guy as a player) homerun ball isn’t something to meltdown over.

I think this is something that’s done with and everyone should just move on. Karen got her ball, got booed out of the stadium and was publicly shamed by millions.

The kid got a ball, got an autographed bat, got to meet Bader in the tunnels after the game and got stuff from the Marlins too.

She doesn’t need to lose her job, he doesn’t need anything else and got his cool memory moment.

Just watched it. That father was a lot nicer to her than I would have been. "Get lost” would have been said over and over until security arrived to show her out.

He looked scared out of his mind.

Looked more shocked than scared IMO. Someone randomly grabs him and he put his fists up for a split sec until he realized who it was and what was happening. People react differently

Not focusing on his coverage for a moment, his angles to ball carrier on runs and his basic attempts to help in run defense were not good.

Correct, he couldn’t even be a speed bump

This sequence is about the toss play to Saquon but there was a lot that went into it. The Eagles lined up in this formation four straight times with slight variations. On the first play its two TEs to the right with Devonte in tight.

The play is a simple inside zone but Lane blocks no one. It sure looks like Steen expects to come off a double with Lane and block the MLB. Jurgens and Dickerson are doubling the DT.

But

But no. Nobody blocks the MLB. Lane is blocking empty space and Steen is going to be too late to block the MLB. Except...

...Saquon breaks the MLB's ankles.

...and gets five yards.

Gronowski from Iowa better be in the Heisman race…he’s on pace to throw for an NCAA record of 700 yards this season!

Next play. Again the Eagles line up strong right. Same two TEs to the right and Devonte in tight. They motion Calcaterra in but...

...he resets inside Goedert.

Play action to Saquon

...becomes a bootleg,

Jalen sees the middle open up...

...and gains 10.

Saquon is pretty good at sports.

Probably bodes well for Dickerson for next game.

Oregon is on vs Oklahoma state.

Oregon has 2 solid OTs, Maybe worth watching since Lane is a jerk and doesnt want to play forever.

woah. I just accidentally changed to the Kansas, Missouri game. Jalon Daniels, the Kansas QB has a nice arm!

Surprised they are keeping all the DEs right now

Might be for Epps but I can see them using all the elevations first. Any fullbacks out there lol?

The second she grabs his arm she should have gotten told to F off.

I saw the overtime for Baylor-SMU, Sawyer Robertson had a nice day throwing the ball.

I think Daniels has played like 6yrs of college football but is only turning 23.

Brad Sham is such a pro and started calling Cowboy games as color analyst in ‘76 with Vern Lundquist doing play by play. Lundquist went to CBS in ‘84 and Brad Sham took over play by play for DAL ever since, 40 years.

Guessing it's Green for Epps. Green just hasn't shown enough.

Something Ive been thinking. Im surprised, if this OC wanted to run 2 TE sets more frequently and even 3 TE sets that

a. the eagles played hard ball with Goedert so long.

b. That they didnt draft one.

c. That they went so cheap on both free agents instead of someone better.

We barely had a starter, let alone enough to run 2 and 3 TEs.

Something I just thought about right now.

I wonder if the eagles will try to convert Estime to a FB in the wake of yet another season ending injury for BVS. Estime has the size, and the feet. And is likely never going to be a good RB. I think Granson has the versatility but Estime might be a better option if he can block.
