Oddly, he is not on the list.Keeping him actually seems like a good option.But I wonder if bringing back Jobe could be a possibility. Or Rasul Douglas.Maybe McCreary but thats probably more spendy.Same goes for Newsome, Ibginoghene, Ya-Sin, Taylor-Britt...I think Jackson was a subtle win this season. Vic figured out a way to hide him in the scheme. Sort of like putting your weakest little-leaguer in right field. (Although, I found that if you had good pitchers at lower age levels, you could also hide a weak player at third base. The opposition would rarely pull the ball.)I think the safety position got exposed a bit by both Johnson and Shanahan. That's where I would prioritize improvement.

I'm saying he shouldn't be immune to criticism and for as great as he is, I need to see more from a development standpoint. This is a big year. 7 OL were on the roster who were rookies. We need to see one or two of them become contributors. Can't keep depending on the highest paid OL in the league.

We need to see one or two of them become contributors. Can't keep depending on the highest paid OL in the league. I don't know about criticism but we did roster 3 developmental projects last year in Hinton, Williams & Lampkin and then Kendall wasn't even backup C (you could argue because he developed Toth). This year you'd hope that at least one of those guys shows real promise. I don't know that they'll cut Jurgens but he should be on a short leash to replace with Kendall, Lampkin or even Majors who is another C prospect.
January 17Jan 17 It's starting to feel like McDaniel will get a HC gig even though he's not a good HC. People are enamored with his offensive genius again and forgetting that a HC does more than that

January 17Jan 17 Rams can lose to plenty of teams out there. Barely beat the Panthers. Not impressed with their last several games. I got the Texans winning it all.
January 17Jan 17 1 hour ago, ManuManu said:Something I had never paid much attention to, but that 4th and 26 defensive call might have been the dumbest coverage call in the history of football. Four man rush with a fifth player near the LOS. A sixth defender is underneath. That left 5 players to cover downfield when the Eagles needed more than a quarter of the football field for a first down.You can watch this on YouTube.Take a look at the throw into the end zone and in the hands/gut of a Packer instead of to Pinkston.Luckily the Packer dropped it but its a bottom 100 all-time throw from a guy who has at least 5 on the list.

Darnold could be a Jim Plunkett redux.The Bears remind me of the Commanders last season. At some point they'll turn back into a pumpkin.No one deserves anything and the Rams are 4-3 in their last 7.Three of the wins are to non-playoff teams and they played an 8-9 Carolina team even in 2 games because Carolina choked at the end after they lost their best CB.They are the 5 seed on merit and they should have lost to the Seahawks in a game where Darnold had 4 picks but Seattle missed a long FG.Stafford's specialty this year is putting up something like 5 for 17 in the middle of games as the other team boat races him.Jared Verse isn't half the player that Donald was but the media wants him to be Donald 2.0 so much.He was DPOY and pro bowl as a 2 year pass rusher with 12 whole sacks.Mamula had 13 1/2 after 2. Dante Fowler had 12. Stafford is an Eli Manning level winner in the regular season. He is less of a winner than Eli in the playoffs.He has skills like Eli and he makes mistakes like Eli.So far he has 1 Eli SB, the one where the defender dropped a pick (Jaquiski Tartt instead of Asante)

We need those projects to take the next step. That's what I want to see.It was clear as day that Jurgens was hurt and as soon as Toth was put in at Center the OL played better. Stoutland gets credit for making Toth an NFL lineman. But the reluctance to play him where he played best, Center, was infuriating. Is that a Stoutland decision? I would think it is. They kept rolling him out at LG. They should have sat Jurgens and put Toth at Center. Maybe they didn't because none of the other OL have developed? Who outside of Brett Toth was playing OG? Matt Pryor? No, they kept him at RT where he was a disaster. I'm sure we'll see an investment in the OL this draft. Hopefully they bring in the next generation Eagles OL.
January 17Jan 17 The only game I’ve been to in Philly. A friend of mine, a Vikings fan, was in the Air Force and could volunteer to work security at the games. He said he could get me in if I wanted. So I worked security at the gate (a miserable experience) and was in the first row of the end zone where Mitchell caught his TD. I was a terrible security guard, watching the game instead of the fans.

This game is 23 years old and it just feels like a completely different league, a different sport. 2003 was the middle of my college career so it's also easy for me to relate to this era. It's what football was to me. But I guess in 2003, a game from 1980 looked a whole lot different too. Just wild to see how things have evolved and changed.
January 17Jan 17 57 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said:I forgot Dawk's pick was on 1st down. It's one thing to throw an arm punt on 3rd down, but on 1st down in sudden death OT? Man, Favre made some absolute awful throws in his career.I was at that game. Not only was it 1st down, but it was their only offensive play in OT. We won the toss, went 3 and out, then the Favre "punt". Then as I recall, that was the last game of the 03 season, as no other games were played the rest of the year, and any evidence to the contrary is falsified.

Losing to a banged up 49ers team in the Wild Card just has me so bitter about the ineptitude of our offense and our coaching staff - Patullo and Sirianni. This really is one of the biggest wastes of talent in Eagles history. .It was, but the offensive line injuries really were going to hold us back in the end I believe too.
