Posted April 23, 20205 yr First he was rumored to be available. Now we’re being linked to have interest in Trent Williams. Today, PFT discusses how Howie never met him face to face and was shocked Dillard dropped. Says he’s having trouble adapting to the city of Philly as well as adjusting to an NFL locker room. He was decent I thought in relief duty and we all know OT take time to develop now a days. So what’s the consensus. All nonsense or where there’s smoke there’s fire? I’m not gonna lie I’m a little worried.
April 23, 20205 yr The rumor was a hoax. Dillard was showing promise at LT, it was when they moved him to RT that his play fell off a cliff. They didn't like that, because they want their guys to be flexible - but in the end he will be LT and play just fine over there.
April 23, 20205 yr So many rumors because the media has nothing substantial and needs something to talk about. "Oh he’s bad because he struggled at a position he never played before”. Our media is a joke. If we trade him I’ll sheet myself.
April 23, 20205 yr So I think there's some truth to the organisation being unprepared on Dillard. They didn't expect him to drop so I doubt they put a lot of resources in to him. But I don't think they are going to give up on him after a year. Not having let JP walk. And Dillard played well at LT when he was asked to step in.
April 23, 20205 yr I think it's a mix of half-truths. Maybe they weren't prepared to have Dillard fall to them. But he was, he was on top of their board, so he's the pick. I think the team is working him up to starting LT. Even if they get Trent Williams, how much is left in his tank? He's not the future. I don't think they're moving Dillard.
April 23, 20205 yr Author I have to think there’s poor value in moving him now. Unless he’s a complete wacko behind the scenes you have to stick with him at LT Also Williams will be 32 when the season starts.

Of course he was bad at RT and I blame the coaching staff for putting him in that position. They wouldn't have let JP and Big V walk if they weren't OK with starting Dillard at LT. He was a rook and on a new team last year. He'll be fine.

April 23, 20205 yr Uggh. he's our starting left tackle. Better get used to the idea. No way he is going to get traded.

April 23, 20205 yr I don't get the worry. He played terrible at RT. But, when he played at LT, he played really well to the point that I wasn't sure if I wanted Peters back in there.

I felt they should have kept with the hot hand in Dillard. Give him the experience
April 23, 20205 yr I even saw an article which said a source suggested the Eagles had no interest and it was a Skins leak trying to drum up interest.
April 23, 20205 yr Only way I would trade him is if we got Jets 1st pick, and all we gave up was Dillard. I would ONLY be happy if we got Lamb with the Jets pick, and another potential stud LT with our own first rounder.
April 23, 20205 yr I don't buy its an issue, yes he played badly at RT but has Lane ever filled in at LT? There's no way they'd trade Lane, the league is full of specialist one side tackles and tackles that can play both sides at all pro level are as common as unicorn crap.
April 23, 20205 yr 2 weeks ago...writers told to put 10 unlikely personnel events on slips of paper and drop them into a hat. Each day since, they draw one out and write a what-if story as though it were a rumor. Clicks garnered...job secure...people discussing possibilities...job done.
April 23, 20205 yr Jonathan Martin 2.0. If this is true, ship him out. I have not been overly impressed with him but it was only his first season. This better not be true or someone needs to be fired
