Conflicting report on Dickerson

Been here before, unfortunately it’s up to coaches to adjust for deficiencies with the line they got. TEs, extra lineman. Not just for run plays, but getting ball out quickly on short passing routes too.

So we only have 7 healthy lineman going into this game on the 53: Mailata, Toth, Jurgens, Steen, Big Fred, Kendall and Pryor. The only guys on the PS are Hollin Pierce and Jake Majors, neither of whom I know a thing about. We likely want to dress 8, so gotta think one of them will be elevated.

Man we gotta hope no one else gets hurt.

EDIT: Just saw the above on Williams, so maybe he's the 8th. Odd to open a practice window on a Thursday. Guessing Dickerson had a setback they didn't anticipate.

Eagles 27, Raiders 17

I'm pretty sure the Raiders will be under 20; not sure at all if the Eagles will get over 20. The Raiders have a very real chance at the #1 overall pick; if the Eagles don't keep them in the game into the 3rd quarter, they'll be on the plane home in spirit.

Bonus -- Hurts 70% or better completions this week.

The giants baby!!!

Can you imagine? Patullo leaves, meaning Siri doesn't have to fire him and the Eagles can hire an experienced OC to fix the offense. Meanwhile, Patullo ruins the promise of our division rivals young upcoming core of Skatebo, Dart and Nabers. Win-win.

@mattwill

Well, I avoided predictions all season because I stopped after the bye last year and well, we won everything. But apparently it's not working this year, so here goes:

Eagles 29

Raiders 10

Bonus: Eagles don't turn it over, but end up kicking 5 FGs as red zone struggles continue

Unless he's set for life, he's doing it for the same reason many of us do things are are not fun fun fun all the time. $$$$$. He'll play hell and find a job that pays as well as the one he has now. Though I imagine being a tackling dummy gets old.

It’s his fault…he wanted this team and the money spread the way it is. He has made his bed and he’s now laying in it. I have little to no sympathy for him. Ya the Bengals are dysfunctional but it’s not like they aren’t trying to add talent around him like Indy did with luck.

The 2025 season is a setback they didn't anticipate for Dickerson.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

DeJawn is almost on Myles Garrett level this year…this also a product of our LB and S play as well.

Hunt has been amazing the past few weeks.

He was really something the other night. Locked down Ladd.

I feel like it's a 1a and 1b with RT and DE

That sounds right

Looking at this defense moving forward, here's how I think they should be prioritized:

Absolute must retain for long term: Jalen Carter, Q, Coop and Jordan Davis (yes, Jordan Davis)

Would be nice to keep: Smith, Phillips, Hunt (likely one is a must)

Wish we could, but won't be able to afford everyone: Ojomo, Dean

Not getting another contract given age: Baun

TBD: Campbell, Mukuba

If cheap enough: Reed

Yeah I think if they let Goedert walk (my expectation simply due to shifting salary cap over to defense in the coming years), they keep Calcaterra (ew) and Latu and bring in a free agent so that position isn't a "need" going into the draft. I'd still like to see them draft a TE but with other needs I can see that being a day 3 pick as you said.

Latu impresses every time he's on the field, whether it's on special teams or offense as a blocker. Not sure why they don't use him more.

I wouldn't read too much Into Dickerson. It's probably just rest. They did the same thing last week where he did the first practice, sat out the second for rest, and then practiced the next day.

Not sold on Toth as a guard - doesn't have the bulk.

The lack of depth at OL has shown up all year and was Howie's biggest miss this offseason.

Then again, I spent most of last week bashing Byron Young and he played a game so maybe Toth can follow.

Carter is a huge part of that D but we saw them get what 7 or 8 sacks without him? How many picks would you take for him along with the $45 million in cap space? My preference is to keep him, but he could fill a lot of roster spots and they wouldn't have a loose cannon. I'm not sure if he's an absolute must IF they decide he's not worth a huge contract along with the liability.

Just kidding sing the SOB

I'm curious about that Carter contract. This was supposed to be his breakout year but it didn't happen. Sure he has that agent that will want top dollar but he missed a lot and his production wasn't what we expected. Howie does make contracts based on potential though. I figure that contract will determine a lot of things
