They both have guys in front of them who aren't great, and if they can't outplay them in the preseason, then it makes no sense to keep them. Edwards had a nice INT today and is a pretty solid backup. I haven't heard much about Avery, which is a sign he's not really standing out. Jacquet hasn't done much either, whereas McPhearson has flashed a little bit. We will see how things change once the pads go on, and it is tough to tell what's really happening from only reports from beat writers, but it's tough to make room for a rush LB like Avery when Kerrigan is already in that role and they can stash someone like Johnson on the PS to develop. Can only go white what the beat writers give us and for now I’d say rush LB and a guy that can give us multiple looks like Avery would be more valuable then a 5th string traditional tackle. My guess is Wilson/Singleton/Taylor/ Avery with a battle between TJ and Bradley at least that’s the sense i got from the early reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 As for Avery I have actually read a few things on him making plays good in coverage etc. the only thing i can recall on TJ was a missed int. Though I also haven’t heard anything negative for either guy so I don’t think either has been terrible either. I did read that TJ was we the 3s though at one point.

Always felt like all we got was a second rounder out of the deal. Pretty sad for a guy that some people seem to think is so incredible. Screw it! I’m fine with him crashing and burning. Is what it is. We are moving on! The second 70% is off the table I’ll join you. But I’m glad this is no longer us having to deal with this.

Stance you have to take on Wentz. We are 6 weeks away from the start of the season. Even if he were to miss a month into the season if he finishes the season he plays more then 70% of the snaps. Hell last year sitting final 4 games he still played what 72-77% somewhere between those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunninghamtheman Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Having The Jags and Texans in the Colts division clearly helps them out to make the playoffs. I think the Titans are better though. Not sure what it will take to earn a Wild Card in the AFC. Colts have a good team. But they aren’t a lock for the playoffs.

No team is a lock to make the playoffs… Plenty of safe bets though. Gotta like the Colts chances as much as you like the Titans who have a weak defense or the Browns who give out a mix bag most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb235 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 This may be nothing (and it probably is) but here's an interesting comparison based on stats meticulously compiled by Eagles beat reporter Elliot Shorr Parks. Wentz training camp 2017, 227-330 (68 percent), 31 TDs, 5 INTs. Hurts numbers so far, 47-67 (70 percent), 7 TDs, 2 INTs. That projects to, 230-328, 34 TDs, 10 INTs. It's not a perfect comparison as it can be impacted by red zone work and situational play. But for all the talk I hear about how inconsistent he has been, he's putting up decent numbers. More importantly, Wentz had Jeffery, Smith, Ertz and Agholor as his targets, which is a much more talented group of wide receivers. Also, the defensive backs were so bad (particularly Patrick Robinson on the outside) that no one knew who was going to start at the beginning of the season. Also, Wentz was going up against a defense he knew for the second year. Hurts is playing with much less talent at WR, against a new defensive scheme with much better corners. A lot to be excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've played a lot of red zone haven't they? Which to me potentially makes it harder to put up good numbers. Everything is tighter in the red zone and the play book options are reduced.

A lot to be excited about. I would disagree with the top statement… Alshon might have been a better #1 then anyone we got now…. It Smith was at the tail end of his career didn’t do much and AG was a nobody going into camp…. I’d say Fulgham is just as good as either of the later two. Reagor seems to be in the same boat as AG coming into camp. Hurts also has two TEs one being the same as Ertz and the other easy top 10 talent. I’d also argue Hurts has more chemistry with the players then Wentz going into 2017 camp. Wentz didn’t play with either of his top 2 WRs before or his starting RB. Hurts spent a season with Smith and got reps with the other guys played in 4 games with them Id also argue that Hurts has more talent at RB going into camp. Lastly and it’s no fault to Hurts but I’ve read a ton that the QBs have dinked and dunked a lot because that what the O is. All and all Tc stats are pointless but I do hope Hurts has a good year. Its not hard to know that the best possible outcome for us would be Hurts being that franchise QB not having to use our picks to get a new guy.

Bleedinggreen93 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Wentz out 5-12 weeks so best case scenario he is ready to start the season in 6 weeks worst case scenario he missing 6 weeks into the season Though if I’m the Colts I’d take my time for Wentz to come back especially if we are in a good spot after couple games into the season.

Hurts is a career backup. Wentz is a pro bowler in a league that almost requires a stud QB to compete in the playoffs. If Patrick Mahomes is waiting behind Wentz then who cares. Hurts is no Mahomes! Although I would have agreed with you a week ago, I now believe we did the right thing. Wentz already out for 3 months. This dude is made of glass. Getting a 2nd and 3rd may have been a steal at this point..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Reagor was more about his measurable talent than coming in polished. So it affected him more than I expect it to on DeVonta. Can Smith hold up to the workload we want out of him for a full season(and hopefully postseason)? Seemed like the only reason he fell to where we took him.
