Listen, I think he stinks but let’s give him some credit. He can get open on a fly pattern in the NFL. That means you’re fast. It’s just too bad he can’t track the ball and catch it. Of course, he wouldn’t have been a low round draft choice if he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a chance, it was more than likely just nerves, I think Watkins was the Eagles best WR last year, unfortunately no one knew it but me.

CouchKing Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Maybe they aren’t signed yet. Maybe we are against the salary cap and need to shut down the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philafan4o8 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I would say it’s official for Grimes. Maybe just waiting for official announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we will sign at least one vet CB, otherwise just rolling with Slay, McPherson, Maddox and then have the likes of Houston, Seymour, Jacquet, James, Hill etc battle it out for the backup spots.

kiwieagle Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I’m guessing they are waiting on clarity re training camp roster size and rules around that. Not sure what number we are upto now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because you’re the center of your own universe. Thank God you’re on these boards, your posts are ALWAYS entertaining at the very least. Accurate? Not so much. But definitely entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB52 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Under Andy Reid, there was a time when UDFA were really given a chance (as long as they weren’t named Danny Amendola). This doesn’t seem to be the case lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed me more with his limited appearances than did Reagor, the other guys aren't worth speaking about IMO.....Fulgham included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Agholor-lite. (The comparison here is Agholor in year 2...Agholor improved, so perhaps Hightower can too, but I'm not waiting around for it). He's fast, but he's not THAT fast. Whereas Agholor had quicks, Hightower has none. He's leggy and only gets open on linear routes with a runway. The problem is that he can't track the football. Not tracking the ball and only getting open on go routes are a bad combination. Watkins, however, has both deep speed (better deep speed too) and short area quicks/explosion. He's similarly raw, but he's got far more to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! 1) I presume that Howie had a bet with himself that he could produce a worst group of corners than the Eagles corners in 2020. 2) Already feels that Grimes is leading the race for the Nasty Nate award.
