Jonathan Gannon. In fact, his defense is expected to be very similar to Mike Zimmer’s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Meh we shall take it. We need all the help we can get at LB and it means we don't have to force anything in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we drafted a LB worth a damn was Chip in 2015 drafting Jordan Hicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltpeter Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 His run defense was supposedly awful last year. I saw a couple of clips on Twitter that were kinda rough. But he's a major upgrade if his snaps are managed properly. Gives them more athleticism at that position than anyone other than Davion Taylor and will be that guy in the LB room that knows going in what the coaches want (experience with Gannon/Rallis).

Texas Eagle Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I like this move a lot. But not at the expense of drafting a quality LB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrfierce Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 He’s got to be an upgrade on Gerry surely ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliEagle Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. But, the reality is the Eagles can't fill all their needs this draft. This move probably means that LB isn't going to be taken with the 1st pick, but we all knew that already based on the positional priority of the FO. I like JOK and Zaven Collins, but no chance Howie goes LB in Round 1 and probably not Round 2 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Philly Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It’s a start but they still need a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Eagles are also brining back Jordan Howard. Maybe they actually use him this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Dude actually had a pretty good season last year. Definitely an upgrade over Gerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I was holing we’d give him another shot as he was very good. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we upgraded over Gerry and we have 3-4 serviceable linebackers. We’ll need to draft a LB but can be strategic about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchew88 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Watched some tape. In some that he gets "blown off" on a run, its against a Jeff Saturday clone. But he set the edge against the Bears. That's 2 really good Viking players signing for cheap for Gannon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
