It's up to him to put the work into fixing the flaws that the league exploited in slowing him down (handling press coverage, focusing on using his hands, etc.). You don't have a stretch like that if you lack talent, you don't get shut down like that unless you lack fundamentals. I thought this was due more to Doug's pathetic use of personnel last season. After the 4 game stretch where Fulgham was on an amazing hot streak, Alshon is suddenly healthy so Doug gives him over 1/2 of Fulgham's snaps. I'm not optimistic on Fulgham's development regardless, but this seemed to be one of many egregious personnel decisions by Doug that surely had to impact Fulgham's confidence mid-season.

LeanMeanGM Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Mailata was first team LT, with Dillard on the second team. And Davion Taylor is third string MLB, for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuManu Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Reagor’s best role was always going to be a Z that moves into the slot from time to time. I’m glad Sirianni wants to move his WRs around and make them interchangeable. It’s smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike McCormack. Dick Vermeil. Marion Campbell. Buddy Ryan. Rich Kotite. Ray Rhodes. Andy Reid. Chip Kelly. Every one of them. Even interim head coach Pat Shurmur got another gig. Kotite, Rhodes, and Kelly were even hired by other teams immediately after being fired by the Eagles after losing seasons. In Rhodes's case, even after a 3-win season. Yet their only coach to ever win a Super Bowl apparently doesn't even merit a sniff. Bizarre. They fired him a week late... he'll get sniffed next season.

Instead we got the worse player who's now being shifted to the slot while the original "slot WR" is a much better outside threat than our "dynamic WR" Sounds about Eagles. The salt in my wounds hurts more each day it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggles_Phan Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 3 hours ago, RLC said: When it comes to evaluating college WRs, the biggest question is whether they can beat press. If they can, they can win inside/out. If they can't, then they're likely slots or movements Z. Jefferson struggled with this in college which is why people weren't sure if he could play outside. Clearly, he could. If people thought Jefferson was this good, he'd have gone ahead of Jeudy, Ruggs, Reagor, etc. Multiple teams passed on him with WR needs. Well, some people (cough cough) had Jefferson ranked above Jeudy, Ruggs, Reagor, etc. But, that doesn't matter now, I suppose. The NFL has spoken, was proven wrong, but they are always right. 3 hours ago, eagle45 said: I absolutely didn’t want him. True. And I absolutely did want him.

RLC Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 If we're giving Mailata first-team reps over Dillard, we should trade him Dillard and/or extend Mailata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utebird Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 2 hours ago, eagle45 said: I'll be satisfied with any WR alignment that features Smith/Reagor/Watkins on the field. Moving them around without rigid roles while maintaining some level of a comfort zone for them would be a bonus. I have no interest in seeing the continued development or evaluation of Fulgham and Hightower. Ward is a crutch. If he's on the field, it means an investment has failed.I I think you're giving up on hightower too quickly. The guy shied away from contact and played scared but he also showed the ability to get behind a defense and run more than just that one route. He was just a rookie last year playing in a horrid dysfunctional offense If he comes out and plays scared again I say cut him loose but if he shows he wants to compete and get dirty I think he can be an asset as a deep threat Z.

The issue I saw with Hightower being a concern was his inability to catch the ball, and it wasn't out of fear. He doesn't know how to catch. That needs to be fixed.

schuy7 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I don't think we should give up on Fulgham. That 4-5 week stretch wasn't a fluke. He needs to get better at the LOS for sure, like most young receivers. I have way more hope that he can be a significant contributor than I do Watkins and Hightower (and maybe even Reagor).
