Pretty good for probably the biggest human being in the NFL. When we got him and I saw this vid. I thought FB or TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has done better than Dillard when given the chance in my opinion. Wonder what happens next year when Dillard comes back Maybe we won't need to bring Jason Peters back again. It'd be good if the loser of the Dillard-Mailata were able to play both tackle positions but Dillard's efforts on the right side were .... unremarkable.

beto_eagles Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I would like to see him as a FB as the Chiefs some times do with Kelce. Sanders running behind him would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe he was one of the coaches at the International Camp they had in Bradenton, FLA that Mailata was participating in. The story is that Stoutland was pounding the table for the Eagles to draft him since he had an up close and personal coaching interaction with him.

There is a reason no one does this. I do think it is slightly different though. Mailata having been a rugby player is a slightly different approach to say JP lining up as a full back. That said, yes I appreciate that the likelihood of someone causing him a serious knee injury is a real threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 have a better chance of doing something with the ball or being a lead full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 2-3 times he got beat by a speed rush and there were more than few plays he got walked back into the pocket. He was so solid the first 3 games, so what changed tonight? Was it because he had Opeta next to him for the first time? Was it because this was his first game coming off a short week and he doesn't have the stamina for it yet? A combination of the 2? I will reserve judgement until the next game when he has 10 days to prepare for the hated Cowgirls. Willing to see if he goes back to being the solid wall he was vs top Ds like PGH and BTL or if after having a few games of tape on him that teams have discovered how to attack him with success and he has to adjust. I hope tonight was just a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope tonight was just a bad game. Could just have been a bad night for him. He will take his lumps over the coming weeks and bit by bit he will learn from it. I guess a bad performance like this might actually help him more because perhaps Stoutland will pull up the tape and really get after him for this one? He may learn more from that. Who knows... Perhaps his weakness is speed rushers and needs to work on that? Or maybe it was just a mixture of reasons like you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seengreen Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just imagine where his development and game experience would be if they had opted to go with Jordan the last 2 years and let him play through the fire? Just like DE's/DT's, LT's have to develop a repertoire of counter measures to moves. Their position is inherently passive aggressive, unless run blocking in most cases. Jordan is going to have to study players and a lot of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoconoDon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Progress is a process. It comes in increments. So far, overall, I think he's doing pretty good. He has a lot of room to improve and I expect him to as he gains experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seengreen Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hanna-Barbera Chin Ass Doug and Howie better not screw up his development, by putting Jason back out at LT and benching Jordan. That would go against the entire movement of youth, trusting the players and coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
