GDT Preseason: Philadelphia Eagles @ New England Patriots, 8-22-26, 7:00 PM EST

Much easier to make those throws when you're 6'7.

Trotter looks for real. I wonder if Robinson will be. Would be a huge boost if he is.

Trott Jr. just needed to bide his time. I had a good feeling about him when he was drafted.

I also had good vibes about Shipley and Robinson. That’s TBD though. Both still need a lot of work.

At least this week, the team has some life to it. I can see some of what Mannion wants to do in the running game.

That outside zone- with Barkley in it?? THAT is going to be lethal. I can't make out what he wants in the passing game,

because he is playing it close to the vest in preseason. Bell looked good. Shipley and Steele looked good. The 2nd

string line had a nice night. McKee looks better, at least. Dalton has to be let go.

Zion Wilson is making a big impact out there

Jenny seems a little loaded out there

Not bad for a preseason game....they actually made a game out of this.....last week's game must have been REALLY bad....

Time will tell whether McKee is any good, but another example of why size matters at the QB position. He hit a big throw over the middle on 3rd down and then he made the screen look easy on the score.

Cole Payton can zip it. He should be getting Dalton's reps.

The refs practicing their reps on Fing the Eagles.

Weru had a nice sack and a nice hurry. Guy seems like he may actually contribute this year rather than just have a red shirt year.

Dalton has played preseason so far like he doesn't fancy playing another season and he's trying to get cut and bank his years salary while sat at home watching on TV.

6 of 16 is an absolutely horrible level of performance if you're really fighting for your spot on the roster.

Yeah, it's gonna be hard justifying keeping him on the roster with McKee and Turner both showing promise.

We're not keeping 4 QBs on the roster and I think Turner has shown enough that if we try to cut him and sneak him onto the practice squad, someone else will sign him in as their QB3.

7th round picks are a shot in the dark anyways so not a big deal if we burned one on Dalton.

Really hope Darius Cooper gets serious consideration with our new look WR core, another good preseason for him, made the catches needed to move the chains. Also was impressed by Carson Steele, think he should find a way to the final roster.

Agreed....Cooper is the exact same player AJ was....big and strong and makes contested catches....I really hope he gets more consideration.....

An extra factor for Dalton:

Words can't describe how bad he is in big games. You have to look at the numbers.

Cooper is only 5'11". I think Brown is at least a couple of inches taller than that, and maybe 20 lbs heavier. Either way, Cooper plays big for his size.

Ah ok...then I was mistaken....he certainly plays like he is AJ's size.....thanks for the assist....

Very close.....that 13 pounds make a difference, I would think.....
