Annnnddd just like that Jordan Mailata's determination to be a dominate LT just went through the roof.

Pretty straightforward, I think. Play both sides and you will play a lot.

Makes him more valuable and likely to get a bigger contract

Yup. This team continues to be loyal to a fault.

Loyalty is great. They just don't seem to be loyal to the right people.

Ok, if that happens the Eagles deserve to be ripped to shreds. 

Oh for Pete's effin sakes Doug.  It's clear that Mailata is only going to learn from being in the game.  He doesn't sound like a practice player.  This is absolute trash.  What the heck kind of answer and mindset is that??? 

Mailata has been the 2nd best lineman behind Kelce.  You don't sit him. WTF

I'm surprised JP isn't trying to renegotiate.

Or is he?

maybe he will hold out this week for a bigger contract so we can have Mailata at LT?

Partially because I don’t think they want the questions as to why they paid Peters an extra $3M only to put him back at RG — Johnson starts at RT, Peters starts at LT — both are huge question marks to finish the game — and Mailata gets inserted into whichever starter taps out first.

Keep in mind the money they paid to Peters could have (should have) been used to shore up OL with Cordy Glenn, or RB with Fournette (granted, might have signed with TB anyway)

And there's people who don't want Howie fired

No excuse for our front 4 not to dominate this game.

So does that mean they aren't going to be able to stop anything?

Being angry at Doug for benching Mailata: justified.
Being angry at Doug for using an analogy: stupid.

It’s a dumb analogy and doesn’t compare at all.  Which tells me he’s flat out lying. So yes, we should be angry at him.   Benching Agholor in 2016 DIDN'T WORK.  Also his struggles were mental.  JM struggles will be fixed with playing time, not a mental break.    So the two scenarios are nothing alike.   

Maybe mailata is fatigued like miles sanders.... or perhaps on a snap count

Ugh. Don't go there. I'm still upset about that comment.

If it's true then how can we depend on Sanders?

I’m of the belief you need another good backup with sanders. He left some games early last year with injury. Missed 2 and looking like 3 so far this year and left early from a game. Love sanders but we could use another back. I’d be for trading for kerryon Johnson if the price was right as the lions seemed to have given up on him. Then again he’s also not been the epitome of health 

Quinton Spain is a practice squad player for the Bengals.  Doesn’t sound like there was much of a market.

I haven’t listened to a word Doug has said since that week he was asked about Sanders and Lane Johnson’s status, and he said both were doing "extremely well " — then neither of them even dressed for the game that Sunday.

I’m not sure if he flat-out BS media guys, or if he has no idea what’s actually happening at NovaCare.  Either way, his pressers are a waste of time.

Could be a temporary stay on the PS. This close to gameday it makes sense to put him there and elevate him and keep your 53 intact.

Compared to what he would have made playing Rugby in Australia, even what he's making now is a homerun.

So why didn't we get him?

Excited to see Reagor, especially with the emergence of fulgham.

Wonder if reagor will be on a pitch count or they'll slowly work him in the offense with a few designed plays or just toss him in the fire and let him go.?

 

This guy needs to hit the ground running. He's the fourth WR off the board this year, quality draft slot and guys drafted after him are producing. I really think he may be best out of the slot but I guess we shall see. 

How do we know Carson didn’t want Peters over Jordan?

He has the best possible chance to hit the ground running dallas secondary is awful. I have a feeling he has a big play in this game. 

It's going to be fun after the bye week when Alshon is starting so Fulgham can take a step back to get a different view point of the game.

Yup. Match him up on Diggs and bombs away
