Yes. Me. "Nobody is giving him hate" mostly meaning beat writers and actual media. I didn't know you were crying about posters expressing opinions which is more beyond silly considering the stuff that gets posted here every game day.

I've brought it up before and it's not the first time the media has been on him. Yeah, their negativity along with people on here labeling him a bust is frustrating.

Who did Dallas lose?

Guyton was nursing a sore elbow a few weeks ago...other than that unless something happened today in practice I think everyone is healthy. Trigg has a toe problem and missed PS G2, I am thinking he will start the year on IR, they don't want to subject him to waivers and Schoonmaker would be the guy they would likely release to keep Trigg.

Dallas had a relatively injury free camp, as far as long term significant injuries go anyway.

Too rational. WIP and ESP say it's a disaster.

They keep asking about Hurts which is odd. As a DC he'd want Hurts to get picked and sacked all the time in practice

The crazy hype that Eagles beat reporters had collectively for about a week there earlier this month when he will be at the bottom of the depth chart l, and I can't rule out being cut, makes him the ideal Nasty Nate.

Are you talking about Cooper? No way he is cut and he should be WR3 based on performance. Kempski is speculating that Lemon will be #3 because he was the #1 pick. Lemon hasn't practiced literally the entire camp and he is not ahead of Cooper based on performance because he hasn't performed.

Smith, Wicks, Lemon, Brown and Cooper seem to be locks. Question is do they carry 6 WRs, which creates a space for Moore.

Larry Allen.

All this talk about a backup rookie TE...

Sept. 13th can't get here soon enough.

I think Lemon being WR3 is more about him being a prototypical slot WR where he will probably live all this year. Cooper isn’t going anywhere.

Must have been a light day because there were no updates

I think he's worth a spot but not at the expense of a good player on either line

Yes, I can't wait to start with the real complaining.

I am guessing they would think Moore will get through to a PS spot. He was on the PS last year with the Jets. He's not done a lot in games in the pre-season. Also, you are leaving out Covey who certainly hasn't been replaced as a punt returner yet.

Yup. I think Moore being a vested vet can come back after week 1 if they like him. See 5 on cutdown day. Going 11 offensive linemen with 3 starters who are fragile at best currently.

I kind of hope they consider sitting Lampkin on Friday.

Stowers has alot to prove. Better choices at that pick. Howie cannot be a wizard every round of every draft.

I think Goedert and Mundt hold the fort down until he gets his sea legs.

I expect they will. No one whom they project for the 53 should play, save for Lemon (briefly) and the foreign players.

I have him on the PS and elevated. I also have the long snapper on the PS, so that means your 2 elevations are locked in. But I have Greenard and Stowers on the 53 and 11 OL because I want to keep Majors.

I'm more concerned about the inability to move the ball than turnovers. I don't think the offense is as talented as other people do. But even if it ends up being a disaster it's not the end of the world because then the Eagles will know internally how to proceed going forward and will save themselves a lot of money at the QB position. Aside from a championship the most important thing the Eagles can get out of this season is final clarity on Jalen Hurts. Because he's going to want a raise. And I don't think he's going to get it, let alone be worth the money he's currently making if he doesn't operate this offense at a high capacity.

Seems like players are dropping a lot this year

It happens every year. I don't think its more than the usual. It does suck though. Football is such a great sport... and losing so many players before the season even starts every year is just horrible. If only there was a way to get rid of the injuries and keep the awesomeness of the sport.

I don’t care if we have Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss at WR, this offense isn’t doing squat without better OLine play and a better run game than last season.

The SEC did indeed do the right thing and then some.

"During an in-person meeting with league presidents, chancellors and athletic directors, the SEC took it even further than the Big Ten, prohibiting anyone who has previously declared for professional basketball from rejoining college athletics without appropriately withdrawing. Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel the vote to implement the policy was 16-0 -- an important show of unity from conference leaders at a time when some of their own coaches are attempting to add players who were cut from professional teams."

I would expect the ACC and Big 12 will follow suit in the next few days. Big win for student athletes and college sports.

Does it make it better for the student-athlete? NCAA now limits players to five years. NFL eligible after year three, baseball eligible after high school, NBA after one year, NHL same, and soccer doesn’t even seem to have an age limit. So a kid decides to give professional sport after becoming eligible, realizes no future there or that they are not ready, but having eligibility year(s) left. Why not let that kid play the sport he loves and work further on a degree? Now the cutoff would have to be established as to when they can’t come back, how pro is too pro. NIL money really has taken away the amateur from college sports. I would also like to see an NCAA rule against a returning athlete not causing a scholarship to be withdrawn from another student athlete.

Only took 20 years for them to finally have the balls to do this.
