nipples Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Honestly Sweat should have been getting the majority of snaps out there with DB coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Howie trades everyone for a bunch of picks I doubt he’s good enough to make the right choices. That's what is so "hope killing" for me. We can't even get excited about draft picks, because we know what is pretty much going to happen. I am glad the eagles won a Super Bowl in my families life time, because we may never see another one with this FO in place. I feel like "Thank you, Howie and whoever for a Super Bowl, but.....NEXT!!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to lose GM of the year when he just need better scouts. I think Howie is so power hungry he doesn’t want to hire someone who will threaten his job. He wants to be the man in control. That’s why any job in the Eagles FO is so undesirable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if Schwartz & ultimately Doug take the fall this time or if something finally sticks back on Howie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 5 years of horrible drafting and y’all wonder why we are 0-2 heading for a top 5 pick which howie will use to trade back for a 2nd to draft a project guard and bag of potato chips.

Sanders saves a C- grade for now. Otherwise it's an F like 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBirds2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 He’s been Derek Bustnett for a while now. People just didn’t want to accept it, constantly making excuses. I get it, hope is a powerful thing. I wanted to hope too. But pretty early on I could see that he just didn’t have the physical tools to be a factor, consistently getting swallowed up by OTs. Granted there have been other successful DEs that have overcome the lack of one physical gift or the other with technique or guile but Barnett hasn’t shown this. He’s far from the smart, wily player with his dumb offsides and personal fouls. In fact, it’s just the opposite. He’s so way in over his head physically that his body is fighting back with one injury after another. He’s just not built to be a successful DE. You could see it from the start, he looked like a boy among men. Even TEs have no trouble handling him one on one. I’m going to try to do some qualitative analysis on his Tennessee numbers. Did he rack them up against completely trash teams? Are they heavily skewed toward just a few games or are they evenly spread between all his opponents? Did he benefit from another exceptional talent on that line that commanded a ton of attention? Because right now any continued mention of this dude in the same breath as Reggie White is downright blasphemous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he's as good at selecting scouts as he is at selecting players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thank god for graham who was much maligned in the past. He has lived up to his draft pick - even if he has not been an all time great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Btw, howie should be demoted just for that stupid avery trade. A high schooler could have seen a 4th was way too much. 4th rounder are important for teams that are trying to pay for big second contracts for their starting qb.
