can we ban RTK again?

Not sure why someone would not have him on ignore at this point. I put him on that list after his first week back.

I'm sorry, but the Eagles RB corps in 2017 was not "below average". Blount and Ajayi were both pretty good. 

Yup.  And the OL more than made up for any deficiencies they might have had.   Blount wasn't going to make any DBs 'miss', but he would make them pay for trying to tackle him.   And the OL was good enough to get him into the secondary untouched more often than not.  Ajayi absolutely added another piece to let Blount stay fresh for the playoff run.  And Clement was a revelation that year.  He was very, very good as a receiver on swing passes, screens, etc.    I highlighted quite a few plays where he showed great vision and patience, letting the big guys get out in front of him and create seams for him to exploit... and when the end of the run came, he'd get skinny right on the hip of a blocker and maximized the yardage.

Do you know roughly how much of a hit we would take to trade him? Just curious.

7.9 dead, 16 million saved in 2021.  6.7 dead, 17.1 saved 2022.

Someone gave me that advice one day after I went back and forth with him.  Best advice ever.  It makes the board so much easier to get through.

If we can learn anything from Zach Ertz in handling Fletcher Cox it should be to not hold on to him too long.  Like Ertz, Cox is an all-time Eagle.  IMO, overpaid but in his prime he was an absolute force and still can be.

I would gladly eat $8 million to save $16 million if we can get a decent draft pick in return.

Might make a lot of sense to trade Cox for a 3rd and bring in Geno Atkins on a 1-year deal for Milton Williams to learn under.

Unless we are shocking the world, I would try to trade him to a contender at the deadline.

Why do people who wind up writing for the New Yorker always love to describe "themselves" as having a lethal wit?

The only thing lethal about them is their aroma and it's effect on small sand crabs. 

I was just wondering about this exact same thing when I woke up this morning.  

I guess they are negotiating on some type of injury related protection with Dickerson. That would be my only guess why he's last.

Look if you get into this then that will escalate to you calling him sexist and the next thing you know he will be talking about all of the women who have put him in the friendzone.

Thank you. I have been warned and will go stand in the corner. Besides, it’s cooler there.

Top 3 offense in the NFC with Dak who spend the entire off season putting talent on the defense. 

Incredible weak schedule and they went 6-10 while playing with 2 QB's who shouldnt of been in the league.

I hate the cowboys but im a realist(which isnt allowed here) 

Yup I agree, I thi k it's their division to lose.

Dak is the best qb in the division, and while Zeke isn't as dominant as he was he's still a capable back who can threaten a defense.

I think Parsons could help that defense, he's a guy who can blitz play the run and the pass.

He seems like kind of a d bag but hey he's playing football not nurse so...

Their WRs are still a threat and still a solid I line 

I think the only challenge for them will be WFT,that defense is stacked, and if Fitzpatrick can be more Fitzmagic than Fitztragic they could take the division

If it weren't for the WFT defense I would say Dallas sweeps the division. Yes, their defense is bad. But to win this division you don’t need much. Dak, if he is the same player he was pre-injury, can squeeze out enough 35-31 victories outside of the division to win the East.

I wouldn't say the team as a whole is really good but they certainly should be favorites to win this crap division. Come playoff time though that 35-31 victory probably becomes a 36-28 loss

Medicaid pays into it( pay into that0, and grant is just a fancy word for saying Tax payer money. 

I would pay more in taxes if I got to choose where the money went(I believe most people would)

I also believe we spend too much money on wasted projects, wasted situations and things we shouldnt be a part of(post office and abortions come to mind) and yes I know they're both grants 

 

If one wants to limit abortion get a vasectomy.

The simplest way to decrease abortion and save taxes would be to regulate men's bodies not women's 

 A women during a 10 month period of time can get pregnant exactly 1 time, during that same amount of time 1 man can potentially impregnate 100s of women.

It's simple math, want to decrease abortions shift the responsibility the gender with the potential to lead to more abortions, men, and regulate their bodies.

Of course that would never happen because the majority of law makers are Men.

 

Wtf is this The View?

I think I like WFT more than Dallas. Dallas has a high powered offense with a still bad defense. Parsons helps a little but they lost more players in their secondary from last year and are going to be heavily relying on their rookie class to step in immediately. Dallas O-Line is overrated. Still good, but they are breaking down. If they lose Smith or Martin for stretches they are in trouble. 
 

Washington obviously has the elite D, but they also are pairing it with a decent offense. They seem on paper to be more complete with a better coaching staff. Obviously their weakness is a big one. QB. And that could be all that matters in the end. If they can get average QB play across the entire season it’s going to be a tight race.

Cowboys don't deserve and therefore aren't afforded realism.  They always suck.
