Looks like the defense won us another one.

Unanimous consensus from the reporters so far that AJ Brown is struggling yet again after struggling yesterday. He might be washed.

BLG is slobbering all over him

18 minutes ago, Sack that QB said:

Practice is over. Just like day 1, unanimous consensus that the Eagles dominated the practice.

Not feeling great about this upcoming season(not feeling bad either! just meh) but this is super encouraging. This could change the course of the season.

Bunch of idiot reporters giving us their opinions on who "won". The defense is going to be dominant and the offense will click after a few weeks of ups and downs. They have more talent on paper than the SB team two years ago. If they stay healthy it will be a good year.

This combined with the OL looking better are reasons for optimism

Yup...he is very twitchy with quick feet. He definitely can be effective is small spaces.

Do I always have to throw to number 11 or can I pass the ball around.

Jalen: if you can't keep him happy good luck

I can see a coach who calls plays delegating it to someone else just to take a little off their plate. Coaches mostly just listen to someone in the booth who tells them what to do anyway.

But when it can cost you a timeout or it's your last challenge, they still would want final say to stay with themselves I'd imagine, so they're not likely to delegate the final decision to someone else anyway.

He's always been a great route runner, it's the hands that were an issue.

Yup...it all means nothing other than good opportunities to evaluate. Fangio is entering year three with basically the same group of talent and I can guarantee he is revealing nothing, especially disguising coverages etc....the kind of stuff that would confuse and overwhelm a young QB like may. The offense may struggle a little early, but this should be a really fun team to watch come the middle of October or so.

True. The head coach would still have final say as it’s all between headsets he just doesn’t physically grab and throw the flag.

I dunno, it seems silly but I’m guessing someone made enough of a fuss to change the rule for whatever reason.

Pretty obvious that it's a TD

It's weird how desperate you are for a dude that's not on our team to succeed.

Yeah that's what I'm curious to see, which coaches are actually going to delegate it now, since they would've had to be the one(s) to have pushed for such a strange rule change. I'd be shocked if it's more than 2 or 3 at most.

Feel like the light is going to turn on for Campbell this season. If it does, he has the physical traits to be the dynamic player we all hoped for.

Apparently, it's Zac Taylor, or at least a big reason for it. He claims he hasn't thrown a challenge flag since becoming HC and he had someone else do it for 8 years and never knew it was a rule he couldn't.

The Patriots must have submitted that idea.

Vrabel has trouble recognizing what should be a red flag.

I’m one of the Jihaad Campbell skeptics, shoot me. His instincts are average at best, and that’s the most important trait for his position. Hope he makes me look stupid.

thank god aj ran over to give jalen a hug today. now the world can sleep better at night.

It may be a deal where he is thinking more than just reacting. With reps he should be able to get past that and show more of those instincts. Plus, he played with a shoulder injury last year so we dont know how that affected his aggresiveness

Biggest concern i had last year when Dean was out was his run defense. I think he will be good but i thought (eye test and don’t remember the analytics on it) our run D got better when Dean came back.

Tbh it’s an overblown story at this point. Whether he wanted to be here or not for various reasons. I still expect Aj to have a good season then have issues with the patriots as he wants an extension and more guaranteed money. I think that aspect in all of this is swept under the rug right now. I tend to believe Aj knows the eagles were never restructuring that deal or giving him an extension after 2026 due to who they have to pay and the direction they were going. So he didn’t want to be in a potential offense that struggles to pass and "hurt” his stats when he goes to try to get more $
