    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

On this point, Lurie has never hired a HC with previous NFL HC experience, 1 college HC and the rest were NFL position and coordinator coaches.

Years ago when people said AFAN, I thought they were talking about Afansincebirth   he had the Hans solo AVi. It was just maybe 2 years ago, I figured out it was Austin.   

Even back when he was arlingtonfan Ive never seen him be rude or disrespectful to anyone.

I respect him for that and cant understand why some people react to him like hes an Ahole. He just has an opinion like anyone else.

Having good natured dialogue with differing opinions is something we should want in here.

How many wins do you get for social justice initiatives?  Im sure the NBA could find a spot for him

Absolutely correct, he takes too much abuse for having an opinion. I respect him for always having a thought out response, even when I completely disagree, which is the whole point. I find the people who take the most swipes at him are the ones who have the least to contribute.

Ok.  First, I now live in NC.  I’m originally from Cape May NJ.  Hate the Steelers and other black and yellow teams because I lived in Altoona Pa, for a decade because that is where my job moved me. See that’s what people do, they grow and find opportunities and move.  But never switch teams, regardless of where they live or if a player they like leaves.  
 

 

I’ll assume your lack of denial, means you have worn black and yellow in the past.  

Thought that was you, you lived in Altoona, where they say things like Youins.  I kind of remember you had a different screen name,  and had a webpage or something. 

 

and I never switched teams, but keep driving that Narrative to try and make it stick. (Are you a liberal?) :roll:

Agree, I never saw him be disrespectful. Got no issue with him.

I don't see what grains have to do with the situation.

If Arthur Smith had anything to do with bringing Tannehill to life, then he is definitely someone the Eagles want to talk to about reviving Wentz, maybe not as a hire. 

Not sure if posted

If Howie and Jeff plan to build around Wentz, I wonder if they involve him at all with these guys to see if they will mesh. Maybe it's something that would happen on a 2nd interview, but I think if you're truly committing to the guy, at least let him have a voice (and by extension, possibly repair the alleged fractured relationship)

Can't listen at work, can you give us a summary?

He should hop to it then!

That would only be possible if the "brain trust" was sold on Wentz. Wentz may be allowed to provide some feedback at some point, but I think they are still trying to figure out what to do with Wentz. Of course there have been some hints in the past 48 hours for his future with the Eagles...not sure how credible they are...if the "brain trust" is smart they are still fact finding...

I mean what is really there to know from Smith. Its basically as simple as getting a rushing leader and arguably the best RB in the NFL.  Being a physical run first team and designing the passing game off playaction and RPO's.   Hit big on a second round pick receiver  and Voila Wentz is revived.....  Easier said than done with Howie still there ofcourse 🙂

I know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but Moore doesn't even look the part to me.  I could see the DL giving him a swirly on the 1st day of voluntary OTAs.  

Well that's why you would bring in an experienced DC and assistants.

I think Wentz is safe for at least one more year till the "out" year of his contract. They are going in the direction exactly what my suggestion was a month ago. Give Wentz one year under a new coach to see if he can get back somewhat the level he was in 2017. Not MVP, but star level. We all know Doug and his offense/coaching was a major issue and was holding back a lot of players success. If Wentz keeps struggling then you have your out next year and begin to move in a new direction at QB. To me its all about the coach they bring in and the scheme. But I think in the right situation Wentz can get back to a very successful level.

yeah, I think you missed the point. We know what he accomplished as an OC given the personnel...the Eagles would want to drill down their questions on the specific steps Smith took to refocus and develop Tannehill. Such information could be very valuable

Eskin was on WIP and "broke" the story that Howie was telling Doug who to dress or sit on Sunday's.  WIP guys are blown away, but I thought we knew that or it was at least reported previously.  Either way....it's more confirmation of the disfunction.  

That was reported sometime during the second half of the season.  I specifically said if that is the case, Howie needs to go immediately.
