January 15, 20251 yr Buckley wasn’t a bust at all. He may not have been the star player we all wanted early in the first round, but he was a very good run defender and started for a lot of years in the NFL. People forget how good our defense was in 2008 when we went to the NFCCG — he was a huge part of that.

Jordan Davis for example has definitely been disappointing for the 13th pick but is far from a bust.

He’s not lived up to the hope and his draft position but he’s a good and a solid DT who has made plays in the league.

January 27, 20251 yr Take Howie Roseman. Howie was sent to the basement. When he came back to the building, he was a new Howie Roseman. A hungry Howie Roseman. To paraphrase you know who and when
January 28, 20251 yr Author Shades of 2017 all over again when Howie hit on all his free agent signings/trades (Ajayi, Blount, Chris Long, Patrick Robinson, etc.) and got instant contribution from that year's rookie draft class/UDFAs (Barnett, Rasul, Hollins, Clement and Jake Elliot). Seeing that now with Barkley, Baun, Becton, Burks, etc. (All B's!) and getting instant contribution from the rookies Quinyon, DeJean, Hunt, Shipley, etc. Hoping we get the same result again...

I think a big difference is we are getting tremendous help from the other draft classes over the last 2 years. Where the draft class in 2016 and 2017 were not as good or were terrible and there was not much of a future going forward ( other then what we thought we had in Wentz) . This team is loaded with young talent going forward and looks to get better and better each year as they develop and gain more chemistry.
February 12, 20251 yr The EMB... Post something stupid 5 years ago and its coming back to the top of the list.
February 27, 20251 yr Howie's interview at the combine. Notes that moves he's made in the past were from a place of disappointment (like trading Bradford after drafting Wentz) Admits that his weakness is drafting inside Linebacker Reaction to Fangio saying the 2nd half was unacceptable to the defense: Jalyx is a rookie, may have exaggerated. Fangio was excited and celebrated the good things too, and that he was kind of joking about it. He also said Hunt is the one who called him "Big Pimpin" so take that for what it's worth. We're not gonna be able to keep all the free agents, need to play younger draft picks.
May 26, 20251 yr Anybody know how long Howie's contract with the Eagles is? I can't imagine him leaving. Shudder the thought.

September 29Sep 29 Author Bump. Terrible draft picks, horrible safeties, no legit backup QB, and possibly another lame duck OC that gets canned after 1 season. Not saying to lock him back in the basement just yet, but the door is open.... Time is yours Howie Humpers.

Not saying to lock him back in the basement just yet, but the door is open....Time is yours Howie Humpers.You can go back to last year too. Campbell may not be a bad player but Dean was the key and we had to let him go because we drafted Campbell. I don’t think he drafted any difference makers last year? And so far this year it hasn’t looked much better. He’s ignored Safety to the point where it’s a huge hole. He’s ignored OL to the point that it’s imploded.
Tuesday at 06:21 AM5 days Next to ZERO production out of your top 4 players drafted last 2 years. Campbell MUKUBA lemon and Stowers.Bad free agent moves. Counting on 2 guys who literally had to go out of the country to get stem cell injections.Doing nothing at Safety.Bound to catch up to you

He was always going to regress because every GM misses. But the way in which he’s drafted the last 2 years is bottom of the league stuff. He’s not addressed major needs. He’s given big contracts to guys that he probably shouldn’t. He’s just not done a very good job of restocking this roster.
