Then again, our young players like Dillard, Reagor, Goedert, Driscoll, Watkins, Sanders get hurt too. There is a pandemic...of injuries on the Eagles. And they just got new staff for medical and conditioning. Yeah I’ve hated the idea of moving on from many on the 2017 team, but I’ve come around to the reality that it’s time for many. But damn, I sure miss the days of having a great line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn, I sure miss the days of having a great line. The good news is they have Stoutland who does a great job preparing the backups because they always need a next man up. Brooks, Peters and Lane have had injuries multiple seasons. Each of them would get contract extensions and then get injured and they have to rely on a backup. Seumalo and now young players Dillard and Driscoll have been hurt. So you see young guys stepping up in Malaita, Herbig, Pryor, Opeta. I do think there is something causing the injury problem, they need to overhaul medical and conditioning (again) and really examine what the hell is going on. Because it's not just 2 seasons, it started in 2017. But there is hope for the future of the O line with some pieces Stoutland is working with now. I would purge Peters and Brooks after this season. Lane should return next year but he's the new Peters: great player but you have to prepare to phase into his replacement due to age and injury. Kelce is a beast and I've been impressed his durability and continuing to play at a high level. But Kelce and Lane should be the returning veterans and everyone else needs to be young and hungry guys to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYBODY would get hurt on that play, old or young. That was an ugly cheap shot that could cost a guy a season... or career. That guy should be punished by the NFL. It was sad to see. I heard he was in a walking boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figure he will be a non factor regardless. Someone might have said it, but Lane went down with a leg injury not related to his ankle.

EazyEaglez Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Ike Reese just said that it would cost the Eagles 8 or 9 mil to cut Elliott. Another great move by Howie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think most of us slept through that one but what a terrible freaking move that was. And just completely unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of those who wanted him to move on, but like you said- NOT like THAT. That was pure BS of the defender and DJax had no way to avoid injury there.

There are more negative things he’s done that have put the Eagles in the position they are in now than positive. Just now, Talonblood said: I am with you on that one.

Yo, I am glad he "only" has a high ankle sprain, so out 3 weeks. Good news for him. Glad to see it wasn't worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get what you are saying- the high ankle sprain can take longer to heal if you don't rehab it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and we are talking about Jackson so it’s a pretty good bet he won’t do what he needs to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it looks like it's a small fracture as well. Fractures usually take take longer to heal than breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I broke my ankle in high school. It took 8 weeks to heal. He’s done for the year. He knew he broke it. That’s why he was so frustrated on the field.
