Howie really should go invest in Laporta if he becomes available this offseason

Yes please. I actually think woolen could have a bidding war cause the lions badly need corners. I also think teams like KC, Carolina, jags and bills would all be interested

Only thing with Woolen is he was on the block last year and didn't have much interest. I don't think he's done a whole lot this year to change peoples minds.

Crazy denver is 3rd

Joe webb was a leading candidate for head coaching jobs and they have Payton

Also they were just in the conference championship and probably win if nix didn't get hurt

Nix has been more trash than Maye this year

I think people have written Greenard off too soon because they're allowing their misery on the season to snowball. It's gotten off to a bad start, but I still believe in the player when healthy. He just needs to get healthy, but when he is he's very good. The health stuff is unpredictable.

This isn't some out of nowhere run of bad injury luck for him. He's been injury prone his entire career and is now quickly approaching 30. This health stuff was entirely predictable and won't suddenly get better next year once he is 30.

Why do we keep bringing in ocs that have no experience?

The 2 experienced OCs they hired got hired as Head Coaches because they were successful. The 2 without experience Siri promoted from within rather than interview experienced outside guys. The sell was supposed to be consistency.

Mannion is an outside hire with no experience because they scrambled to change schemes and went with someone they thought was an up and coming NFL coach with good ideas, and they hired other offensive assistants with more experience to aid him.

Tbh I had a harder time believing that Seattle was actually gonna trade him considering the fact they were contending and could use him depth wise. I think he was more of a valuable commodity to them on the field than what they were likely to receive. I tend to think it’s a 3rd rounder the eagles ask for. Maybe conditions on it

Greenard is pretty predictable. He has played 13 games or less in 4 out of 6 seasons in his career. Probably will repeat this impressive stat again this year. He's like Goedert on defense, where you pretty much know he won't play a full season in what is a rotational position. Not acceptable. Howie takes the bait and gives up the farm and excessive money. This is like the Jurgens trade Howie just made, but in reverse. Where we got taken to the cleaners here. Jurgens looked good just a year and a half ago. But he's trash now at age 27. Should have just kept Sweat then, who is same age as Greenard. Howie's been spinning his wheels in many positions, giving up draft choices to correct errors and has also overrated his drafted talent. All the errors are coming to roost right now.

Is it possible to wear out a punter?

Didn't he get injured during the blocked punt?

Lets not be that team that does the "he's great when he's healthy" but he's never healthy

Dallas did that with their LBs for years

"Had a terrible lapse in judgment. I recognize it as a call for help. Not a criminal act"

He was 30 seconds from putting a guy in the ground 🤣

This(along with all the other damning offensive stats) is why Sirianni is 100% going to lose his job this season barring some miracle run that's never going to happen. More so than what their record will be. Lurie loses sleep over this crap more than he does for just having a bad record.

I think he’s played significantly better this year, but Howie getting a 2 for Jurgens has warped people’s minds. I’d be equally stunned if we somehow get a 2 for Woolen, even if we’re attaching our expected comp 3 for him.

No offense I take Jim Schwartz. When they gave him talent, he maximized it. 2017 he did a really good job outside of that Super Bowl game. They dealt with some injuries at corner that year and frankly their corners weren’t nearly as good as what they eagles now have. Furthermore, in 2018 they had a bunch of injuries. They had guys off the street. They brought in who wound up being competent players to the point that that defense by the end of the year was at least playing at a high enough level that they had chances in both of the playoff games. Against offenses that were good that year.

Like the fact of the matter is Jim Schwartz had a solid defense with the Browns. The Browns offense was so bad like ours now it skewed the defense. But analytically they still held up really well. Nothing wrong with Jim Schwartz. I love fangio and prefer him but Schwartz is also fine if Fangio retires.

if you could redo the 1st three rounds of our draft this year what would you do?

Hate to see Moro go, but if you can, get ANYTHING for him.

Riq is a nothing to this current team, or its future, so PLEASE dump him ASAP.

Goedert, still a good player. I’d trade him in a second for a 3rd or 4th round pick. He has NO future here. Always injured too.

Goedert has been available to anyone and everyone for two off-season and no team has wanted him. 0.0 chance they can find a partner to trade for him.

All this PR spin is because Hurts already acquired part ownership of the Eagles. Of course he’s not going to bash his own business

TBF, when you are as cash strapped as Lurie, all you have to pay your talent with is shares of ownership.

Plus, Howie wants to keep a job under the new management.
