Getting Isaac back would significantly help the screen game.

Herbig and Pryor do not have the necessary movement ability.

 

For what it's worth, Todd Herremans may have been one of the best blockers in space we've ever had here.

As a OG... I'd put him just a step behind Andrews.   In his prime, Peters was easily the best OT, and Kelce, IMHO is the clear cut #1 overall.   But, I'd take Herremanns on this OL at any position but C over our current lineup (with Lane still out).

Fipp said that Reagor could see some work as a punt returner. I'm not sure I'm for that. Reagor has been nicked up all year. I would just let Ward handle it for the rest of the year.  

Or... mishandle it, as the case may be.

Looking back, yea not having a score bug or even a first down line.  So many advances.  I think they are adding too much to broadcasts now .  The new shaded green area of yards to first down throws me off.

Randall wasn't a great passer but even watching Chris Simms it's just crazy to look at how much the passing game has changed and how skilled quarterbacks are now.  He looks like he just has a noodle arm.

I'll add one more thing.  Seth Joyner should be in the HOF.  

Phil Simms.  He was a much better QB than his son... much much better.

I would agree with that to an extent.   I thought he was used fairly well against Washington.  Should have had 2 long receptions, but Wentz missed him on the second one.

Saw a discussion last night and I have to chime in.  Anyone who thinks Lurie is a good/great owner is kidding themselves or just a blind homer.  He's a good philanthropist.  But how can you take anyone seriously, when it comes to football operations, when you have Howie Roseman as your GM.  Sure, he's great with social issues.  And the team has made money and sold a lot of merch.  If that is the metrics you are using, then sure, he's awesome.  But since we won the SB, the team has done an about face on how they handle the cap.  The drafting has been pretty bad and they have easily been the most injured team in the NFL and coaching staff decisions have been curious.   Not to mention the skyrocketing prices and less than fan friendly approach to access.  But hey, they kept old guys around and put wind turbines on top of the Linc....

The games he's been in, he hasn't been used properly.  

 

I'm glad others see this.  I posted about this over the last few weeks that the problem doesn't start with DP or Howie.  The problem starts with Lurie.  The Philadelphia Eagles are a business for Lurie to make money first and foremost.  He got his SB.  Can't take that away.  As you said, since then what has been done?  Nothing.  He knows how to pander to Philly fans just enough to make them happy.  He put the Kobe Bryant mural up (which I think is silly but I know a lot of people like it).

That is my point.  He cares about the bottom line and philanthropy, now that he got his trophy.  There is no such thing as EBITA on the field.  On the field, they are sucking.  And will be even more once they have to purge the roster because of bad decisions and drafts.  

Eh, considering where the Eagles were under Tose and Braman, Lurie has done an admirable job of keeping the team mostly competitive for 30 years. He took a chance on hiring AR, and that worked out really well. After AR, he threw a ton of money at Chip, which was widely regarded as a great move at the time. He cut bait on Chip relatively quickly too, then came Doug and 52. Doug has the team in the playoffs the 2 years following the Super Bowl win, and looks to be 3 in a row, was Lurie supposed to just dismantle the entire organization? That would be kind of insane. Howie has made mistakes in contracts and drafting, no doubt, but nothing so egregious that Lurie should be dismantling the organization over it. 

Lurie is a business man ultimately, and the brand of the team is incredibly successful. Look at a team like Cincinnati, with a horrible owner who refuses to spend money. Or Detroit, who fired the only coach who has a winning record with them over the last like 40 years, to hire another Belichek disciple which never works out.

@justrelax

The OL play this year has made me think G or G/C is a priority in the draft.  I think Driscoll will be a fine G but we need more.   I am wondering if Tyler Linderbaum might be a solution.  He reminds me a bit of Kelce.  Would enable them to leave Seumalo at G and, if Brooks returns to form give them depth on the OL with Mailata and possibly Wanogho as swing Ts, Driscoll and Herbig as G/Cs.  

I can see the comparison. Even though I have something of a prejudice against Iowa OL, I do like this guy a lot. The draftniks in here will have a much better sense of where he will go in the draft. I see him as a Day Two guy. Since that's 64 players I'm not being very insightful. Yes. I would be very happy to get him.

That fourth down pass against the cowpads will soon find a splintless Reagor. 

Yep.  His vertical leaping ability and coordination is outstanding.  A lot of guys have "eye popping" verticals at the combine (Just like Reagor had) but it rarely translates to the NFL like the way we witnessed with Reagor on that play.  I hope to see much more of that from him.

His production isn't what scares me, it's the 2 injuries causing him to miss the 5 games and training camp time in his young career (one in training camp and one during the season) 

I am conditioned to believe from the past 3 years with this team that once a player starts having injury issues, they cannot stay healthy. I know it's unfair, but I give you this list to ponder:

Brooks- (how many serious injuries now?)

Sproles

Alshon

Djax

JP

Tim Jernigan

Darby

Sidney Jones

Sanders

Clement

 

 

I know there is more, and yes I know this is unfair, but it is my concern. 

 

You Penn Staters out there, tell me about Pat Freiermuth.

Just looked him up.  He's a 6'5" 258 junior.  His first 2 seasons he caught 15 TDs on 69 receptions. 

There's an article on TDN (The Draft Network) where the writer calls him the most complete TE in the 2021 draft, the one he'd be "pounding the table" to draft.  Here's a snippet from the article:

That's (the TE who deserves to be drafted first) reserved for the tight end who puts opposing coaches and players in the most conflict. How many potential boxes can you check at the NFL's newest "chess piece" position? I believe Freiermuth checks the most between his run-blocking, pass-blocking, red-zone receiving, route-running, hands, yards after catch ability and his ability to execute from the slot, from the 'Y' alignment, and from an isolated alignment outside. And because of that, he'll be the tight end prospect who I end up pounding the table for.

I hear ya on the injury front... but the thumb thing is a fluke to me.  And he's young, unlike many on your list... so it's a different story.   And... as far as I am aware (someone more knowledgeable can correct me), but I don't think that these injuries have a lingering affect once corrected.   So, I think it's just a case of some bad luck.  Some of those others should have been foreseen as an issue.  I think Reagor is in a different category, but I could be very wrong about that.

I can't.  Haven't been following them much this year.  But, PSU TEs are generally very reliable at the next level.

My logical side would agree with you, my emotional side has been conditioned to fear the worst. LOL   I do think he is the real deal as far as ability is concerned.

To be fair Sproles and Peters were/are just too old and done to be playing

Jones came into the league with an injury

Brooks is a big worry IMO. He's one of the best RGs in the league when he's healthy but he's often not healthy anymore

There's also Lane who keeps getting injured now

Before Sanders was injured he was being sidelined because he was fatigued

Thanks. I was very impressed with him in the Indiana game. He can catch, he can block, and he moves well. He and Goedert would be a helluva pair.
