Dean is a terrific downfield player. He lived in the backfield. He might not be better than Campbell, but man he's a VERY good LB.

I agree with this. Dean doesn't provide the same advantage in coverage that Campbell does. So moving Campbell to the edge negates the value he provides over Dean. It makes the defense worse not better even if you assume that Dean will be 100% back to where he was.

Not Toth or Pryor.

It's not so much a replace Landon, it's a let him get healthy. If that's Toth, so be it. I'd rather sacrifice a few games of Toth to get Dickerson closer to 100%.

Yea, these situations of a RB and a DH are completely comparable.

Well, he might get tackled at home plate by the team.

I don’t get the hate for saying the Eagles are a boring offense. 95% of Eagles fans on game day say the same thing.

Only we get to complain about the team.

The irony there is that the Eagles may have pioneered that kick. They just don't use it because they had to go back to Elliott on kickoffs. Mann was doing that style of kickoff last year before anyone was talking about it. And there was someone in youtube that talked about it like it was something never seen before, so the Eagles may have been 1st.

It's a combination of Dickerson not being healthy and playing Chris Jones and then one of the best 3-4 D Lines in the league with Forde, Fiske and Turner at the Rams.

Also Dickerson at 80% is still way better than Toth at 100%

Dickerson at 80% this week is hurting the team and it probably means Dickerson is 77% next week and 75% the following week.

Give me Toth, Pryor or hell even Kendall at 100% to get Dickerson as close to 100% as possible. Dickerson at 80% is a liability.

Part of me wonders if Mailata's condition isn't also impacting Landon. They could start Kendall at Center and move Jurgens to OG. I think Pryor would be better than Toth but I think Kendall/Jurgens may be a better combo than Toth or Pryor/Jurgens

Both Mailata and Dickerson are not playing up to their capabilities. We know Dickerson is hurt and that he had knee surgery and a back issue. Mailata has been hobbling since TC but never on the injury report. Something clearly isn't right with him though.

Yep. And as I said at the time of the video, it wasn't accident. He kicked it repeatedly in pre-game warm ups when I was at the Atlanta game last year. It was very much by design.

No, he’s not. Nor is he at 80%.

I don't think the Eagles have to list anything if he's not limited at practice. I do wonder if it was something that is a NFI that has lingered.

This isn’t about Dickerson vs Toth. It’s about Dickerson down the stretch if he doesn’t rest vs Dickerson if he does.

We’ve got an all pro LG playing at a replacement level right now. If that continues, we aren’t winning the SB with how our offense is constructed. If extended rest gives him a chance to get back to normal, then you throw Toth in there for as long as you can, even if he is worse than this version of Dickerson.

Man how bad is Kenyon Green that were genuinely discussing starting Brett Toth and his name hasn't even been mentioned. What a scrub.

He's not even on the team, so.

Ask that question again around 4PM when he's re-signed

I agree with this but it will likely take Dickerson being told by a team doctor he needs to rest. It seems like Dickerson isn't going to engage in that conversation.

I know we're all still scarred by watching him try to play RT, but Pryor is an adequate player at guard and has started games in this league. I'd go to him at LG, but Stout seems to love Toth. Either way, it seems like they have no plans to shut down Landon.

It's really just a matter of does he get healthier as the weeks pass. 75% now, but 95%+ after the bye.

I'd rather Landon be on the field. Even though his execution is compromised, he is less likely to miss an assignment than a backup would.

Dickerson will play until he heals up. I'm sure he's gradually healing more each week. Though I suspect the back is more to blame for any struggles than the knee.

It’s the knee. He was beaten to his right several times Sunday. He can’t step and plant on his right leg.

Not being snarky with this comment, but what have you seen from him that suggests he's gradually healing? IMO, his play is declining which tells me his health is deteriorating by the game. I don't think I've ever heard fof a lineman getting healthier by playing more.

Nice article on Ringo. I like where his mindset is. I hope he gets a chance to prove us all wrong.

I don't base it on what I see. You can't determine health from game anecdotes. If he was that unwell, they wouldn't be playing him.

I'll disagree with that. I think they will play through things we "normal" guys can't even comprehend. You hear about injuries you never knew about after the season. Dickerson is wired completely different too. You better believe he's pushing himself through whatever pain he can manage. You have to love and admire it, but at the same time you've gotta be able to say OK Landon, we know you can tough it out, but let's get your body right for the long run.
