If Cooper Dejean has to play safety full time (due to injury or what have you), what happens? Do you want Michael Carter to play Dejean's current spot and play a ton of snaps?

That is a hypothetical that goes beyond the current situation. You never qualified your comment to say it isn’t about present reality but rather about a hypothetical possibility.

To answer your question, DeJean’s utilization would not change at all. Carter would slide into the Epps role whole cloth.

@mattwill

With that said, give me 14-3 since so many are at 13-4

Bonus: Eagles make the NFCC...and the Rams do not.

Got it. Thanks

@mattwill 12-5

If they finish the first four 3-1 even while they put things together offensively 13-4

Got it.

Can someone explain to me how anyone can doubt Hurts as a franchise QB and as one of the top QBs in the NFL?

All he does is make the POs every season and win PO games. And score TDs (combined passing and running among the top in the league).

Sure, he's not as pretty a passer as Allen, but he doesn't choke like Allen - (Brett Favre redux, makes plays for both teams).

The offense struggled last year, the OL was a shambles, Brown's brain was MIA, and they still went 11-6.

The three previous seasons, 3rd, 7th, 7th in points, with Sanders, Swift and Barkley as your RBs.

A new play caller and OC every season, going back to his college days.

The man doesn't whine, complain, make excuses or hold out for a big new contract.

Frankly I hope he can last like Montana, at least until 35 and maybe longer.

When he's gone, you'll find out how hard it is to find a SB caliber starting QB.

Good

Seems too harsh. Strongest punishment I've ever seen laid out against a team since Penn State punishment for Sandusky. This is just going to kill this franchise for the next decade. Completely screws over the fans. Not that man LA Clipper fans compared to Laker fans, but still those Clipper fans are screwed. Make Balmer sell the team if anything to punish him or hit him with a larger fine than $30M and take 1-3 of their 1st round draft picks. 5 is just excessive use of a franchise destroying punishment.

The current situation: Epps, is basically a starter in regards to snap counts. Think we need someone ready for alot of snaps at the safety position. Carter is small and also has injury concerns. I like Dejean exactly where he's at with split duty (80/20 at CB). Also, Makuba holding up for 17 games remains a big question mark. We are one short here. At least!

NFL is officially back. NFL dropped it's 7 minute week 1 preview of the Eagles and Washington.

@mattwill 17-0 League most all-pro selections (1st+2nd team)

DeVonta Smith with 1,400+ yards.

@mattwill 11-6 for me please

I don’t think the division is as good as the media seems to and the Eagles will be 11-5 going into week 17 resting their starters.

Yes playoffs

@mattwill a better 11-6 than last season.

I agree, and having him there locks down the slot coverage. So how does Epps getting injured in your hypothetical cause a degradation in slot coverage?

I can understand belief that 2-deep coverage might suffer, but even there I don’t think Carter’s small stature will be a problem. He is a solid tackler. Size is nowhere near as much of a factor for 2-deep Safeties as it is for Boundary CBs or Nickel CBs.
