JP hasn't been ok to play since the middle of the 2018 season. They need to move on. I get putting him at LT and flipping Mailata to RT if Johnson can't play. But, if he can, then put Mailata at LT and Peters either kicks inside to get Opeta/Brown off the field, or goes to the bench himself. Mailata is currently the second best healthy OL on this team... behind Kelce. If he's not on the field, then this team is criminally stupid, not even considering the long term future of the team, but just the immediate moment, Mailata is better than JP right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with any of that. I think it was dumb to bring him back, but also think they did so more so as an insurance policy should Dillard not cut it not knowing what they had in Mailata yet (they disguised the move as a need for him to play RG). It was just dumb all around - they should have focused their attention on searching for someone younger that has played OG and still had something left in the tank if they didn't feel good about Pryor (and if they don't want to give Pryor a shot, why waste a roster spot on him?!?!). The roster mismanagement here over the past few years is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 From Les Bowen's piece this morning - it sounds like Mailata couldn't handle the short week physically and got manhandled, putting Carson Wentz in peril. Which understandably freaks people out. "I think it just got to me,” he said. "My legs were gassed, and I just kept trying to push through it, push through it, push through it.” Having never played a string of football games before, Mailata might not have expected the soreness that other players take for granted. Asked how he was holding up, Mailata used an expression that the Outback Dictionary defines as meaning "sick or badly made.” "Mate, my body is crook. Crook, mate. It is so sore,” he said. "I have to come in every day to do recovery, that’s how I stay on top of things. I wake up at 6, get in here at like 6:30, 7, and then start doing recovery straight away before practice and even after practice. It’s something that’s making me feel better every day and that’s how I’m staying on top of my fitness.” https://fusion.inquirer.com/eagles/philadelphia-eagles-week-8-dallas-cowboys-jordan-mailata-australia-jason-peters-20201029.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tarnished his reputation 2 years ago. This strong arming of more money to switch position just solidified it for me. Jason was my favorite player on the low since he got here. But, I really began to see him differently 2 years ago. Now, I just want him to retire, get his induction(s) and be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems silly to have Jordan move to RT and try to focus on that position and the answer to learning LT is to sit back and watch JP. Well, he's playing RT it's not like he's benched. So he's practicing and prepping for RT and watching film on himself playing RT to learn, then he also has to watch film of JP playing LT to learn more about LT for when he moves back to LT in the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToDie4Eagles Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So lets say JP goes down and then Maliata goes back to LT mid-game. Then who's backup RT now with Lane and Driscoll out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lane starts and they play JP then that is quite alarming. Because either JP has too much clout, the owner is involved in that decision or the coaches don't have the balls to bench JP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Zealand Eagle Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This situation has been handled terribly. The Agholor reference is screwed, Mailata has been one of our best 5 then you make a call about him being like a guy who couldn't catch a cold in '16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Zealand Eagle Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm really getting over this coaching staff and FO. If it wasn't for the outlier '17 season these guys would have been on the hot seat after last season already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 They can put Peters at RG, but instead leaning to play him at LT. That move signals that they would rather let Herbig to get his snaps and game experience over Mailata. IMHO, that is not smart. By all likelihood, Peters is done after this season. They need the young OLs to take the starting positions next season. This is time to get them PT and prepare them. Peters can be the back-up for the rest of the season. Let the young OL play now. Dillard is at IR and he is not a factor this season. If and when he is ready, mix him in the rotation then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi I'm Your Uncle Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Disappointing but not surprising. Doug still probably calls Darren Sproles twice a day trying to talk him out of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
