What? 

The Eagles PR sent the media two notices. One just said "Alshon Jeffery has declined to talk with the media"

The other said "Wentz politely declined to talk with the media"

170lb, not tall, not that fast.

Great route runner, huge production in a year in which he was surrounded by an NFL team playing against college teams that barely practiced.

Was behind guys his exact age on the depth chart who went much later than he will go this year.

Just not seeing it.

Hes 6'1", which is taller than your "value" guy Waddle. And he is much, much more polished and its not close.

And if his historic season this year doesnt impress you, then how about 2019?  Look what he did to LSU for god's sake.  He even clowned them again for 200+ yards this year in baton rouge.  Show me anyone else whose done that. 

I count FOUR 200+ yard games in the last 2 seasons....does anyone else even have 1?  I honestly dont know

And Im not sure where youre getting this "sat behind guys his age on the depth chart" thing.  He was ahead of Ruggs last year and outproduced both he and Juedy. All hes done is produce from the time he got to Alabama, he just chose to stay for his senior year because the draft was loaded with WRs last year.

Damn i was hoping the reporters would ask him if HE is an inspirational source of motivation for him. Now I’ll never know.

Rick Lovato will also decline to talk to the media. 🤫

Meanwhile giants players be like 

 

My wife doesn't watch or pay attention to football even a little, I told her the giants are mad at the eagles since the eagles losing put giants out of playoffs after they only won 6 games.

She replied" well maybe they should have won more than 6 games"

This has become a clown show.  I hope the owner is happy.

Could not be less enthused about the #6 pick and the offseason.  I would have accepted leaving Doug in place for what will be a non-competitive rebuilding team next year, and getting a new coach the following year... but keeping everyone responsible for this debacle of a roster and cap in place has taken the wind out of the sails.  It takes away the hope that smarter people could be brought to bear to set a better course.  I can't wait to talk again next year about some insanely stupid draft pick we made when an obvious better choice was there, or how great another team's draft pick is, or what free agents the Eagles can't sign because they have no cap space, or what veteran is breaking down for the 3rd year in a row because his contract has been extended to 2028... etc. etc.

Nice job Jeff.  Gold standard, for sure.

He's becoming a free agent this offseason right? So I guess that makes sense

Anyone have some mid round to Late round tight ends to watch? I’m guessing the eagles look for one in round 4-7

Jeremy Ruckert from Ohio State has a chance to make some money against Bama.

PSU's Pat Freiermuth is a stud but coming off an injury.  

I'd be happy with either one of these guys in my proposed DG trade scenario.

Don't we need to clear more cap than just Alshon and Jackson to trade Wentz? I seem to recall @Iggles_Phan going over a lot that needs to happen

Yeah... that's not even the first shoe to drop.  Those two plus Goodwin "saves" $18M.   They have to drop between ~$35M (if the cap stays flat) and $60+M (if it drops to $178M).  So, thats only about half of the way to where they need to be... Wentz, if traded is basically a wash on the cap, but they need to be under the cap before trades are allowed under the current rules of the CBA.   (Now, all bets are off if the NFL and NFLPA start writing addendums and amendments to the CBA due to Covid... we'll see what happens with that.)

Chase had 3 in one season, and another game with 197 in the same season.

He'll be on his 5th year option next year, which becomes fully guaranteed in March.

I got one back. It’s a start lol 

Can I get a translator for what Chris Long said?

I don't think it's any coincidence guys like Barnett and Alshon are two guys who declined to talk to the media and also are two guys who leave every game with some type of nagging injury.

Aside from being devoid of talent, the Eagles are soft. I hope they get rid of every damn player on this roster who leaves every game with some type of injury. Barnett, Maddox, Peters, Alshon, DeSean... hell even Reagor appears to be one of them.

I've said it before, the Eagles being the most injured team every year is virtually an impossibility from a chance perspective. I just think we have a roster full of a bunch of soft players who can't play hurt so it just appears that way. I'm sick of all the dudes who limp off the field 3 times a game, get rid of all them.

The one I posted is him just being sarcastic about the Eagles tanking. 

The one e-a-g-l-e-s posted is just him saying Doug doesn't have total control, its coming from above him.

Could be the biggest coincidence that all the players we have are soft or just maybe it’s the culture set by the soft coach.

The Eagles are one of the most physical teams in the NFL, year in and year out. I'm not saying we're good, but we're definitely physical. 

What type of value could the Eagles get for moving down from 6 to 9 with Denver. That might be a good place for teams to fight over moving up and drafting Zach Wilson, and by moving down to 9 they aren't going down too far. Since they wouldn't be drafting a QB it would essentially only be two spots for the Eagles. Also, that's exactly why you tank last night.

We don’t know about all reporters.  alshon and josina may or may not be on a break so there’s still that hope 

Ya know, in all this bad sportsmanship talk around yesterday's game, there was a player who stood out as being a pretty good sport. Ertz and the rest of the Oline were playing matador with Chase Young and he could have totally wrecked Sudfield a number of times. Instead, he just kind of knocked him down. Certainly appeared like he knew that he wasn't' being blocked and didn't use it as an opportunity to blast another player. The opposite of players like Clowney, Suh, Harrison and to some degree our very own Barnett. Young looks like a true superstar, talent and leadership-wise, in the making. Very unhappy that he is on the WFT.
