JP HOF Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 with Dickerson and Dillard as backups, damn. PS Last time I was here, I started a nice thread, and the same thing happened that happens every time I post here. Downundermike trolled my thread, I got into it with him, and then I got suspended for a long time. That's surely what's in store for this thread too because that's what happens in the messed up land of Eagles message boards. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yea health is the main factor. What I would give for just one healthy season, the disparity between us and the rest of the league is too large to chalk it up to bad luck anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were suspended because the mods told you to tone it down, and your next post was inflammatory. As for the topic, Lane and Brooks are coming off multiple seasons of major injuries, Kelce is old, and the left side will be a huge question until they prove they are not. Top 10, maybe, best in the NFL, not a chance. Edited to add : Mods please move to R&R. Not because it is a bad or duplicate topic, just don't want JP HOF to think I have lost my overwhelming influence over you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fully recovered now and we're acting like he's always getting hurt. Brooks has been 100% healthy since the end of last season. The injuries last year were a curse (on our team's success), but also a blessing as Mailata was given the opportunity to really grow and develop into a legit NFL player in only his 3rd year of American football. Herbig, who gets a lot less fanfare, also played extremely well for us and was very consistent during the last half of the season filling in for Brooks. Driscoll was looking pretty solid filling in for Lane until injuries derailed his season. I believe we really do have one of the best O-lines in the NFL and we are in much better shape this year to deal with injuries there than ever before. It will be interesting to see what the Eagles do with Dillard. As a rookie he played okay at LT, but was a disaster when moved to RT. You typically hope your depth will be composed of swing tackles so one injury won't cause two positions to change. But Mailata, so far, is the more versatile player. Assuming Mailata is the starting LT, the Eagles still might work him some at RT if they are afraid Dillard loses too much in the switch. Then again, as long as Driscoll continues to develop it may not matter as much. I can't wait to see what the team's plan is with Dickerson. We have a lot of versatility in Dickerson, Seumalol, and Driscoll. Clearly the O-line is the strength of this team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 10, maybe, best in the NFL, not a chance. I'd like to see your list of top 10 NFL O-lines (not including the Eagles). I'd be willing to bet each list will have some players over 30 years old and also players either returning from injury or having returned recently from major injuries. No offense, but it's comical how fans act like things only happen to the Eagles and no other teams ever deal with injuries or age. All I care about is performance and effort. I'm not going to lose sleep about some nightmare scenario that might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Peters who seemingly gets hurt and helped off the field in every game, who has had a few seasons ended early with injuries (some major), still managed to have a hall of fame career and play in 213 regular season games (starting 203 of them). I wish people would quit acting like players are hurt more often than healthy and always expecting the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the minor surgery before 2020 in the hope he could make it through the season before getting it fixed properly. Now he had the proper procedure and is fully recovered.

D-Shiznit Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm not sure how much of a hot take this is, if at all, but I think Dickerson will start over Isaac. There's optimism that Dickerson will be ready to go by TC. I think the kid beats Isaac out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOORDA Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The talent is there. The veteran savvy is there. The nastiness you want in an olineman is there. The motivating factors are there. just need the health and stability and we will have a the best online in the division. Don’t care about league right now.

QBs who look to run first tend to get sacked more cause they don't stay where the linemen set the pocket and break containment and run into sacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t have a stable line in front of him last year. Plus he was a rookie thrown into the fire literally bro. And you don’t think he wasn’t watching from the sideline and in film Wentz get destroyed because of protection break downs nonstop? He head was surely spinning about how someone on d was coming free every down To take his head off. Give him a mullligan already for last year is what I’m doing How about we wait to see if: a) our starters on the online are even healthy and starting week #1 and b) how hurts looks behind that healthy starting oline after a whole training camp with 1st team reps under his belt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
