So it's Mailata Lampkin Kendall Steen Bell ?

Gonna be interesting to see it play out, growing pains seem inevitable.

So if Lampkin sucks at LG, then what? Do they continue to run him out there until Dickerson comes back? Swap Kendall and Lampkin? Try Morris?

Morris unless Fred Johnson is healthy.

I think Johnson has probably aged out at OT, but could fill in at LG.

Though they're getting awfully thin.

Have to think if Eagles don't make a run that Howie writes off 2027, trades players for picks, eats a lot of dead money and starts the next rebuild in 2028 when he has (2) 1st, (2) 2nds and other extra picks.

Drafts may be stronger next few years as tranfer portal levels out (and more talented players get a chance to start, so deeper talent pool).

Thing with Howie is he keeps his options open, so wouldn't suprise me if he flips that 5th for a veteran backup OL.

The Jurgens trade is the first time an interior OL has been traded for a 2nd rounder or better since 2011.

Howie.

Morris or Majors

I think we will see the most effective run blocking Sunday that we have seen all year.

It will have people calling for more Shipley going forward.

Howie.

It’s an outstanding trade, but trading an offensive lineman of any kind either requires brass balls or quitting on a season.

Shooting a DE or CB into the abyss at the trade deadline for picks is no big deal. Trading an OL concedes protection for your franchise QB. That’s why offensive linemen dont usually move midseason and the Ravens probably knew they had to pay a premium for it.

I am choosing to be optimistic until they go 3 and out. So, I imagine I will be pretty pissed at about 9:38 am on Sunday.

Is this a 9:37 am kickoff??

Jurgens was playing his way to the bench. He was unplayable at Guard and Kendall has been outplaying him as Center.

Not everything requires the most pessimistic view.

At least they're ripping the bandaid relatively quickly so far. They didn't let AJ turn into another Alshon. Put Dickerson on IR quickly. Got value out of Jurgens when he showed he's clearly not a fit at OG. Better than letting it simmer and kicking the can at least.

Trotting Jurgens out there week after week is conceding protection for the Qb. As well as telling your team and fans you’re not in it to win it. We got better today

Seems like a tank move to me. We'll see I guess

I'd argue keeping Jurgens in the starting lineup seems like more of a tank move to me.

To use one of your lines, have you been watching the games? This was a no brainer. This ran its course. Starting from last season. Moving on with more athletic and talented young players at this point that fit the scheme. This line was absolutely broken and a big cluster F. We start anew now and look for progress.

I think Howie will almost always stick to his philosophy and that is if we get a trade where we clearly win the trade, we will make that trade regardless of circumstance. Now I don't think it's a golden rule because apparently they turned down trades for McKee the last couple years. There's no concrete reporting on what they turned down, I've heard some writers speculate a 3rd rounder. So there may be exceptions. So I think how Howie views their chances this season factors into that as well. I don't think they've totally given up on this season, but I also think Howie is probably starting to get "Yeah this could be one of those years" vibes. And also they probably view Kendall is just as good, if not better right now.

If the next 4 games go like I think they're going to then I do think they'll be deadline sellers. And they'd be smart to do so, especially guys who definitely wouldn't be back. I think you could get quite a bit for Woolen and Ojomo.

Raiola should've stayed at Nebraska. He would've been a 1st rd draft pick this year. He still might be in 2028 but it was a wasted year for him sitting behind Moore. Talented kid

From what I read he wanted to be a backup behind Moore this year then be the starter in 2027. He probably could have went elsewhere and played right away but Oregon has really good offensive weapons and get top recruits just about every year.

Was he any good at Nebraska? I dont really remember him being anything special outside of looking and playing like Mahomes.

If they called about Trotter, what would you be willing to trade him for?

I give credit every time when Howie corrects his mistakes. Or tried to. He does make some bad ones. But he course corrects well and usually figures things out. And knowing when to pull the plug on older players is something he's getting better at. Sometimes you have to eat cap and cut guys you drafted or traded for (I.e. Dalton) etc. But on the whole this is All- Star GM'ing. Showing no panic in his game. And stellar decisiveness. It gives you faith that the Eagles will right the ship.

Hopefully. Decent chance that Big Mo was drafted with an eye toward him replacing Steen, who is a UFA next offseason. That said, Lampkin is like a fire hydrant. He may fit this offensive scheme better than either Cam or Landon.

From all the positive things the coaches and teammates have said about Bell, he may be the ideal guy to influence Morris, sort of a Davis/Carter situation.
