I think his lack of speed is starting to show up. His anticipation and intelligence makes up for some of it. But not all of it.

Meant say KC. Oops. Fixed it.

Am I the only one who is low key excited to see Kelee Ringo play on Sunday? I realize it was rough in pre-season and he kind of got buried on the depth chart but I am still a sucker for his size, speed, and athletic ability to play the position. With Evans out and Godwin likely in the slot primarily he should get good matchups too if they have Q shadow Ebuka. I still think CB2 isn't currently on this roster and will be before the trade deadline but this is a real opportunity for Ringo and might be his last shot with the Eagles.

Also, I realize hindsight is always 20/20 and he wasn't very good here at all but Josh Jobe has become a serviceable starting CB for the Seahawks. It kind of reminds me of Rasul Douglas who struggled here early on in his career especially with getting beat deep and went elsewhere and became a solid starting corner.

Not sure I’d say "excited”, low key or otherwise. More intrigued and interested to see if he can turn it on when it matters most. I’m certainly over Adoree. Not Bennett, at least not yet, but that’s a moot point for now.

The low key problem in secondary is Reed Blankenship. PFF rating of 33. Ranked 121/123. He seems to be a leader back there, so maybe that's getting masked. Howie may have been smart with waiting on this contract. Got burned waiting for M. Williams. Can't win all of them.

Word is out. If you can isolate him, can be beat. Especially a master play caller like McVay.

I actually have 2 assistant coaches and our team is Green and are called "The Green Machine". Maybe that will be good luck for Sunday since Birds are going green.

I'll probably be trying to do some crack streams or something else during the actual game. Anyone have any good free stream sites?

At least you live in the age of DVRs and NFL+ (which airs games immediately after they end. When I was coaching soccer and basketball and it conflicted with Eagles games, I was recording on VHS. But don’t miss any of his games. You can’t ever get those back.

I think Rasul Douglas was a better player for us than he's being remembered as being. Especially his rookie year when he was forced to start when Darby got injured and held up pretty damn well.

He was just a bad mix for how Schwartz liked to play his corners. Funny thing is, he would have fit better with the Fangio system.

Oh no

This is taking too long. I need the Bucs slaughtered asap. Please and thank you.

@mattwill Eagles 27, Bucs 17. Bonus: Will Shipley with 3+ catches

You and I often differ, but on this one we are in sync. Low-key excited is a good description ... maybe even a bit more than low-key.

Makes me think of the "Green Machine, Green Machine, Green Machine" cheer from the The Longest Yard (original).*

Edit

*Am aware it was "Mean Machine" in the movie and meant it reminds me of that cheer.

I'm rooting for him. Like I feel personally invested in it. No idea why, lol.

Game is Sunday at 1:00PM. And in my denial of all stupid trends the NFL is currently undertaking, that's the soonest a game can take place on the NFL calendar. So, that truly is "ASAP".

I'm low key concerned. He was basically handed the job to start in TC... and lost to Adoree Jackson AND a guy they just traded for a few weeks ago. He went from CB2 to CB5 real quick.

To me, this game is far more about how the offense does than the defense. I think the defense will be fine. The Bucs are a good team and Baker has been clutch for them. It would be great if they could come out and be productive from the first quarter against the defense.

Fair enough. I’m just a cockeyed optimist.

@mattwill

21-17 Eagles…another nail biter win.

Bonus: QB2 plays a few meaningful snaps because the heat gives us all heart attacks, only for it to be cramps.

Yea but you’re just a slack jawed yocal

Jordan Davis is still trying to figure out what is up with traveling on a Friday. Jurgens thinks he has Baun's bag, but it is in fact not Bauns bag. I suppose it must be Jared Verse's bag.

Eagles are gonna win this one.
