2017 looked pretty easy before Wentz got hurt, and the Saquon offense looked easy in a lot of games also after they made the switch to a ground attack offense

I don't know if 2017 looked easy, but it sure was fun. I remember being at the Rams game and thinking I don't think I've had this much fun watching an Eagles team, ever.

Edit 2004 was crazy fun, too. I was at the 49-21? game in dallas. That was a good weekend trip.

I'm more upset they didn't give the kid time than anything else but maybe they think they can get him through waivers?

I think they can get him through waivers tho him playing on ST was interesting. Maybe they see a specialty role for him.

It honestly feels like they don’t care about these games at all except to get a few guys used to contact a bit

Losing shoe on top of it. Reminds me of my friend who from middle school to through high school that every time he got into a fight either his shirt would get ripped off or his pants would fall down and despite what happened in the fights, those were always what people remembered about them. And it happened every time. We are talking 3-4+ times over 3 years. That is what is happening to McKee right now. Instead of 3-4 fights over 3 years, it is 3 games in the last 4 he has played in.

Was he getting in fights wearing the clothes or were the clothes getting in fights with him in them?

Sounds like the clothes had a little moxie and weren't afraid to mix it up. You got a problem with haberdashery, m******f****?

Probably can get both to the PS… will they get poached at the end of the season, maybe.

They can only get "poached" if they choose to sign with another team. They may want to stay here with Hurtt and the team that gave them a chance

Youd like to be able to see those projects through to completion but if they are not as protected as Mailata was under newer rules, thats tough. Not exactly worth roster spots. Especially being that there are 2 of them.

It's stupid they got rid of the protected spot. You have this whole setup and then punish teams that use it

Well, I see the value in bringing in a veteran presence but Andy f'n Dalton. The guy has literally done jack ish in the league besides suck and as far as I know has no previous experience in the new scheme. At this point, idk what they do at backup besides keep McKee cut Dalton and hope that someone cuts a backup that is worth a crap. Like, maybe, that McCord guy they cut last year...

Dalton took his team to the playoffs 4 years in a row. I know it’s been awhile but it’s really stupid to suggest he’s done absolutely nothing in the league.

McKee and Dalton as 2 and 3 is better than what most teams have as depth.

Seems like none of the bubble players want the job.

Glad preseason is over. Sirianni is 5-0 in the season opener i think. Does he go 6-0 this year?

Fair enough - I figure if given a chance to get on a 53 somewhere, and the bump in salary they likely take it.

Anything can happen and I’m in the preseason is meaningless camp but from all reports the Commanders are really really bad so I like our chances

Yep

Thought we would have made a few trades by this time today before cuts tomorrow.

Maybe when the league drops down to 2 preseason games, it can be paired with 2 sets of televised joint practice.

Just dump dalton and work on the kids

If Hurts get seriously injured we are hosed anyway

Commanders beat reporters are saying this is the worst Oline in team history

Oh, pardon me. I must have forgot since that was forever ago in football terms. And, no neither is better than what most teams have because both of them are dog 💩

Sounds like a lot of #5™️ running around, good opportunity for Campbell to mop up when/if he escapes the pocket.

No an ideal performance from our backups. I think we'd all feel better with more secondary and TE depth. McKee seems to have the yips playing with the backups OL going back to the DC game last year. Still a lot of reason to be excited about the starters and the depth on both lines. I don't think we'll be able to fully judge this team and what they can become until week 6 or 7.

I want to believe that late in the season McKee can come in and surprise everyone as he will be so much more comfortable in the offense by then.

But much of his struggles have seemed to be mechanical. Youd think that would be fixable. Then again, they shouldnt have broken in the first place so its obviously not so easy to say what went wrong and why or how to fix it.

All those limp throws where he isn’t stepping in after the overthrows in the 1st game and the Covey miss… then he throws a quacker outside the numbers because he’s off platform, just a bad habit to get into. The bad mechanics, hesitancy and shaky decision making is rough combination.

Didn't realize this was a thing. McCarthy is cooked

The wr corps yardage totals this year are going to be some of the lowest we’ve seen in many years. I think we are going to see a lot of throws to the backs, specifically Tank and Shipley. They may use Lemon in that role too to get him involved.

I can’t help but wonder if we made a mistake by taking Lemon over Concepcion…
