If that's the case then why didn't Siri "unleash" his "Indy offense" when McKee was in? I'm sure he would have kept at least a few dozen plays in the back of his playbook, no?

And like I said earlier, the gameplanning, play design and play calling was even worse when McKee played.

Plus they passed 40 times. And couldn’t do crap.

Jalen Carter's next contract should be 5-7 milly less a year now, right?

Exactly.

Just now, Sack that QB said:

Don't think we want Kingsbury. I think he will be overrated because of Washington's fluky offensive 2024 season. Have not heard great things about him from Cardinals fans who saw him for years and national guys who've followed him since college.

Doesn't use a lot of motion or innovative concepts.

Abandons the run.

Seems to be a big of a dope.

I don't know, just get bad vibes from Kingsbury. I'd take Daboll over him in a heartbeat.

I thought Kingsbury hung in there under bad circumstances this year. He’s not great by any means but a clear upgrade.

His time in Arizona probably deserves a little better shine after seeing Murray without him.

We better not be trading that third round pick to move up in a weak draft at the top.

I know he has a broken arm or something but I was BEGGING for Washington at the trade deadline. Id like either him or Isaiah Likely from the Ravens

Would love Likely too, but he’s gonna cost a ton and they don’t have the luxury of paying top TE dollar right now.

Bain is going top 5 right now. Would love him though.

How about either Bailey or Height from Texas Tech then ?

Someone earlier mentioned our first round pick plus the Jets pick we have would get the Eagles to around pick 16.

Agreed, just looking at scenarios.

Now, if there’s a run on QBs and edge/OL drop. Maybe you move up, but even the OL group doesn’t move the needle.

I found these highlights of Dickerson from a couple of years ago. He looks much heavier now. https://youtu.be/ZcJRQcV7HTk?si=f7woqsk2TnLR5Rh7

Yup he looks fitter and better there and that was like 10 surgeries ago.

Dickerson didnt suck this year because hes fat, he sucked because his knees are held together by duct tape and super glue.

Would losing 10 pounds help his play, maybe, cant hurt but its not going to repair his destroyed knees.

Hes gotten worse every year since 2022, not because he got fat but because he got more hurt every year.

Maybe with a longer off season and rehab and training he can get a bit better but the Dickerson of the video you posted is long gone and losing 20 pounds isnt bringing him back, injuries stole that player☹️

Seems like he was high on their list when they hired Moore. Maybe even higher than Moore at the time. Hard to know

Cross your finger the Lions hire someone other than McDaniel so that's not even on the table for him. Apparently they were set to hire David Blough which is why the Commies promoted him. So McDaniel clearly wasn't their first choice.

Mentioned David Bailey. He’s a current draft crush of mine.

Just now, Diehardfan said:

If you like him I'm sold

I like him, I just don't know if I like him for this team. If he's going to be our Kellen Moore and it's going to be some collaboration between McDaniel, Sirianni and Hurts, no. If Howie/Lurie mandate that he's in full control of the offense, yes. I'm not sure how well his offense would look with Hurts though. It would very much be a prove it year for him next year.

He didn’t call plays in Indy. How do we know how much of that offense was his? I remember being so excited because the Colts the season before had dudes running open all over the place.

I’m not saying I want him gone. As someone else said, I’m fine with the CEO thing. He hasn’t shown much creativity as an offensive mind though.

2021 Week 3 Cowboys vs Eagles was the game I used. I'm aware he didn't call in Indy, and it it no way shows he's a quality play caller, so I ignored that. However, as I said, from a concept perspective it was literally night and day. It wasn't perfect, but it was at least average. (I'm not saying it's not above average, I'd have to study closer though).

Because Sirianni's biggest flaw with the 2021 Eagles was that he basically pretended the running game didn't exist, it lets you see the passing concepts - especially in that game because they had a total of 3 carries the entire game by running backs. 3.

Here was my reasoning for using this game, from this year:

  • Because it's the first year, and they didn't have quality tape on Hurts, it should be before the Eagles could tailor much to him.

  • It's the year that Sirianni started off as play caller, and hadn't really ceded much power yet, so it's the purest version of the scheme.

  • Jalen didn't have any power at all yet, and so he has less influence on the plays.

  • Because I'm watching before Sirianni even ceded play-calling, and because he started the year as the offensive head, it should be more things Sirianni wanted and picked too.

Has that been officially announced yet?

No but I imagine coming out of exit interviews he will be told. We will probably hear official news on moves in the next day or 2.

McDaniel will probably get a HC job. I don't think he's right for HC but there are a lot of jobs and not a lot of great candidates

The Eagles defense yesterday looked very similar to the 2025 Eagles offense. They had stretches of the game where they were locked in and looked great. You could even argue they were dominating in that stretch. But the first 49ers drive was the worst the D looked on an opening drive all year. The 4th quarter Purdy was carving them up and moving the ball at will. The pass rush reverted to what it looked like when Uche was the sack leader. Overall, it was a bad performance. I'm not going to assign blame % as we all know the offense is clearly #1, but the Defense had it's hand in losing the game yesterday. It's a shame because the D carried them to the WC round but they had an inconsistent game at the worst time.

Have to give credit to Shanahan. He had some plays in his pocket and dialed them up to get the matchups he wanted. All three worked for TD's and then some.

Dickerson should in Jordan Davis’s ear trying to learn everything he did to shed weight.

Maybe Dickerson should get a Peleton and really get in shape instead of trying to start a home renovation social media personality. I kid, it’s OK to have hobbies, but he really does need to drop 25 lbs or so.

Who knows.

I wouldn't be surprised if they go the 5th year option route with him now until they are sure he is committed and in shape for a mega contract. This past season didn't bode well for him. The defense played well (even better in some regards) when he was sidelined and with Davis as the focus at DT. And that could be a red flag for the Eagles brass.

His talent is undeniable but it's whether he can get it all together and perform up to his talent level on a consistent basis - without side distractions, health issues etc etc - is what will likely determine his future here and future contract anywhere.

I don't know if it would be that much. Over The Cap says his current contract is only $4.1 million so maybe 2 years $10 - 11 million tops ?

I watched David Bailey twice destroy any hopes of BYU making the college football play off, hes an absolute monster on a stacked D that like this team got let down by a crap offense

Dont think bailey drops anywhere near the 20s.

Elite college pass rushers with good measurables go top 15.

Yea, he called a good game despite turtling up early on. He got McCaffery on Dean a few times and always took advantage of that mismatch.

Daboll would be great.
