I absolutely believe he can.  What I saw from him as a rookie was legit.  He's got speed, he knew his gaps, and he wasn't getting washed the way Nate Gerry still does.

Hopefully he's spent this break getting stronger and quicker.  #HowiesUDFAgems

Dante Olson is another potential steal as an UDFA. He tested poorly in the 40, but was off the charts in other categories. He also had an absurd number of tackles, albeit at a lower level of competition.

If you compare his combine results to Bradham, he was better in every category except the 40 and the bench press. He also compares favorably to Edwards.

It's not because they are clearly going to lose money in those seats they will be covering up.  What is outlandish is how the league is not going to mandate how each stadium decides on how many people they allow in their crowd.

 Not a free pass for everything in life. Couldn't even make it through them.

Another reason Adams would make alot of sense.  The SS is so important for those cutback lanes.

Malcolm was particularly efficient at getting to those spots.  Regardless of the LB play, losing that element at the SS position will be a problem.

Though I do like what I saw out of the Will Parks tape...

In theory, Gerry and Adams should be playing the same position, as they are almost the same from a size/strength/quickness aspect. Gerry is playing a position that he isn't big or strong enough to play.

I mean this respectfully and not at all harshly, that content from BLM  reads like a manifesto written in high school elections. It's well intentioned, but filled with so many buzzwords and repetitions, most people will read it and think WTF are they going on about?

For everyone to understand the intentions and the message, it has to be really simple and written for the outside world, and not the supporters.

Training Camp cannot come soon enough.  The world needs a break from COVID-19 and BLM/Politics before we all go mad...

Oh I get it, I was just responding to the poster, since he said he had gone to their site to see what they believed, so I just posted it to emphasize the point that I was making.

Nah, you are. You have a voice, discuss stuff. If you don't have anything and you don't want to participate in the other discussions then stop whining and do something else. It's not our job to find Eagles related stuff 24 hrs a day to keep you discussing things that you want to discuss. I mean there is really nothing much else going on.

Nor did I say it was, ever. Calm down sally. My point is the blog was run for YEARS as a safe haven from political talk, mattwill ran this thing like clockwork. Evidently you don’t remember, don’t care, or both.  The point is there are plenty of forums where we could all go to discuss politics. This board even has places for that. The blog was not meant to be that and for years we strictly kept to that standard.  Nobody is whining. Nobody is telling you to go find eagles content for me. Maybe respond to what was said and not what you incorrectly interpreted it to mean.

I appreciate it but he doesn’t owe me any respect and probably doesn’t have any. He’d rather pretend he’s incapable of understanding a post that engage in defending the indefensible and confronting his own dissonance. That’s on him. All good. He’s leading the pack of where discourse in this country is going, unfortunately. People dug into extreme positions who cannot critically examine themselves and just respond with as hominem attacks (you’re too dumb for me) and defense mechanisms (didnt read, etc).   He didn’t start it but he’s thriving in it.

I was dead wrong on Gase. I thought he would be a good head coach...

lucky we didnt hire him

But selling ad space to the tarped off space would help them recoup some of that lost money. I'm sure they'll come up with some sort of cap on the amount of people they'll allow. I don't think the NFL needs to come out with a mandate today or within the next few weeks. The season is getting closer but they still have the advantage of time to figure this out.

Gase has zero emotional intelligence and ability to relate to players. Lurie deserves a ton of credit for going that route with Doug after the Chip disaster. I think the Chip experience turned him off of that personality, so we probably have Chip to thank for giving that impression to Lurie. Doug has his faults, but you get the feeling that the players in the locker room would step in front of a bus for him. It's the same characteristic that Andy has and why he's been so successful throughout the years. If you can't relate to people, you're not going to be successful.

Yup agree 100% 

Dougs best trait is his relatability to his players and other coaches.

Chip alienated everyone from the top to the bottom of the organization.

From the sounds of it Gase is going down that same path.

So yes, thankyou chip for being a moron so Lurie wouldnt hire another.😊

But he was so fired up on the sideline with his defense...

In hindsight, we should have hired Gus Bradley even if the first half of Chip's run was fun.

The way things are looking in NC, I wonder if the Panthers will have fans at all.

Well Chip was fun for one and a half seasons.  Gus is a NDSU alum so I wonder if Wentz would have been his Mariota.

The NFL will be limited to limiting fans beyond what states and local municipalities allow.  They would be smarter, I think, to leave it up to the teams to set limits.

Mid August is the intention, I believe — resuming with a 24-team playoff.

Even as a Canadian I lose interest in the NHL playoffs by late May when the weather gets warm, unless the Flyers are on a deep run.  I can’t imagine tuning into it in August 

I don’t know why we have to wait that long. All these sports dropped the ball. Their resumes season won’t be interesting until football starts. 
 

but then again... football is a big IF

I've been seeing a bunch of crazy trade scenarios for Adams

I don't watch the Jets. Is he really that good?

Yes. 

So if the Eagles were to tarp off the first eight rows of the stadium, what happens to the season ticket holders who paid thousands of dollars for the seat licenses for those seats? Do they get to sit somewhere else, or will they be told "tough luck, see you next year"?
