Wonder if Foles still got it? Bring him in for a tryout and sign him as QB 3. Make Lemonade give him #9 back

My guess is Mannion wanted someone familiar with his system? I’m not sure when or where they crossed paths but that was my guess.

The only reason that makes any sense is that they wanted Dalton to help teach Hurts the system...even if Dalton doesn't necessarily have the requisite experience in it. In essence, he's an experienced voice in the QB room who could help Hurts understand things better. Even still, I never thought the trade made sense. McKee didn't help himself last year, but I'd still bet that he'd perform much better with the starting offense than would Dalton.

Stoutland is a philly legend but I always thought the notion that there would be a huge dropoff because of a position coach change was overblown. If anything the young guys seem to be doing better. Of course it's early.

It wouldn't surprise me if Stoutland got a little stale in the role post SB win - no harm in that at all, a human reaction. The OL dogs seem to be hungry again and are running faster.

Stowers hasn’t done anything but they seem pretty set with Goedert and Mundt as 1 and 2 so I’m not sure from a roster construction angle they’ll want to keep 4 TEs especially if you keep the IPP guys on D. Secondary definitely could use depth upgrades. Especially if you don’t believe in Jonathan Jones and/or McWilliams

I suspect they will play Mundt at the in line Y and let DG play the F where he will be less Prone to injury…hopefully…and can teach Stowers

Ty Robinson had a good game ,but he needs to learn a lesson from loitering around a pile while the play isn't whistled dead. A Pats OL took a decent shot at him early on when he was admiring a tackle - John Runyan (the player) would have approved of that shot.

Bell made enormous progress in his run blocking. Instead of reaching he was striking his target. Kept his head up too and exploded through his knees and hips. There was some good coaching and mentoring there and he absorbed it. Very encouraging.

I forgot Mundt was on the team. Good point.

Does training camp resume today or is it basically done by this point?

Lmao, what a FU to the fans.

I didn't understand the trade for Dalton when it happened. They basically looked at their 2027 7th round pick, crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.

I think Howie thought he could flip him for something else of higher value.

Looks like a definite no on that one now.

Practice today, open practice at the Linc tomorrow night, then practice Wednesday and it's done. Cuts are due by Sunday, for some reason.

Now, if we can only have the coaches succeed in having Williams make similar progress in both run and pass blocking .,.

Mannion was a QB who played like 3 years ago, he's only been a coach 2 years. They have a QB coach. I don't think they brought in a backup veteran QB to teach. Howie just likes to collect backup QBs. He brought in Pickett, Flacco and others over the years.

When it works out as well as it did in 2018 then you get some grace to keep doing it

I like Zion Wilson as a better developmental DT than Uar Bernard. You know Bernard's story and Wilson is two years older but Wilson has only played DT for one year. He played very well against the Pats. Watch the tape. Some bottom feeder team will claim him on waivers.

I consider Jake Elliott a sunk cost. Howie is not afraid of dead cap hits, as demonstated with AJ Brown. And we are still taking a dead cap hit of $7M for James Bradberry this season, who's been off the team for over 2 years. If a guy stinks, he stinks. Already put up with this carcass for 2 straight bad years. A new kicker will cost you a million or so. Not getting that logic, based on what we've seen Howie do in past with eating dead cap space. The guy still has to perform to a certain standard. Ranked 32nd last year in NFL. I am scouring the waiver wire this Sunday and at minimum signing someone to the practice squad.

My 53-man before the first preseason game. A lot of the backend depends on who flashes or flames out in the games. And of course, injuries. Although listed, I agree with Franklin that they may carry their long-snapper on the PS at first. Yes, 10 OL - I believe Lampkin and Morris have more upside than Majors and Jordan. The choices among Ringo/Mondon/Latu would be special teams influenced.

Updated after two games. Significant changes in bold.

Lots of tough choices. Putting Covey and Underwood on the PS. Couldn't find room for Hall or Wilson at DT. Maybe they waive Calcaterra to save one. We are going to lose a couple guys next Monday through waivers.

How? Did you not see his post gsme PC after their last preseason game where he went after the fans for booing him saying it is disrespectful and goes beyond football?

Should of cut ties with him when we had dicker

Saying he felt disrespected by the fans booing was a FU to the fans?

I'm not arguing against bringing in QBs just explaining that it's Howie's MO.

I think Dalton is the 3rd QB if he doesn’t get traded. Payton is a practice squad player with low end QB2 potential imo.

Side note - that’s a blah roster. Looks like 10-11 wins of everyone stays healthy. Maybe 1 playoff win.

Browns naming him the starting QB after that PC is a F you to the fans. He is horrible and has been nothing but horrible since the Browns traded him and the. For him to throw a tantrum attacking the fans on top of it was disgraceful. I'm not sure if you are living under a rock but it has pissed off Browns fans tremendously and them naming him the starting QB on top of it has just thrown gasoline on top of it all.

Good point, but if he ends up on the Practice Squad and eventually back on the roster, that money isn’t actually lost. Howie will just shuffle it from one bucket to another.

Um...huh? You take the charge, then you need to resign Jake to a new contract. So it adds even more to the cap.

There's no shuffling - you just take the hit and then need to spend even more to either resign Jake or another kicker.
