This week, I would actually like to see Driscoll at RG against Donald. I think his athleticism give us our best chance against him since his strength is blowing past bigger guards who can't match his quickness.

Donald will demolish Driscoll can’t kill the kids confidence like that getting crushed in back to back weeks we just setting him up to fail...I’d take my chances with a guy who has played G Brown or Pryor

Personally I am hoping they see what they have in Mailata. His first game was encouraging. He went up against Kerrigan/Sweat in a crucial situation and was never beaten cleanly even though he was playing on his weaker side. The one time he lost leverage, he was still strong enough to keep Kerrigan from getting a free shot.

I’m not praising or knocking Mailata yet he hasn’t played enough... I’d like to see him get reps whether we will not sure....But he seems to be down the roster

He will have help as they will almost always double team him. The key is going to be getting the protections right, which hopefully will improve if Lane is back. Donald is usually quick enough to beat double teams, but having Kelce and Driscoll work together should be ideal as both guys are super quick as well.

Don’t like it Driscoll at G in this game think Rams feast on him just my opinion though 

Man, we want to just keep moving this Driscol kid around .... yet have guys who have been here for 3 years and not give them the opportunity????   so these guys have been here 3 years so they could be 3rd string????   3 draft picks used for Pryor and Mailata... 3 years of taking up roster space ... and we want to put a rookie in vs Aaron Donald?    Moving the rookie from T to G?

IMO, if Dillard got injured last minute... Pryor would be your starting G.    This is what I was saying to you BG about just playing your best guys.... don't sit out a guy because he is your " best 6th man"   If we sat out Pryor and got Wentz killed and lost that game vs Washington ... because of his " versatility"  that's not smart.   

But IDK... it's worse if we sat him out because he is behind guys who have been here for less time.  Either way, not looking good.

Again what your missing is at the time of me posting that I put Pryor and Semaulo at about the same(now hindsight was I completely wrong on that evaluation yea looks that way)

So ultimately figured it was for the best of the team overall because well you seen what we had as backups.

Then Dillard got hurt JP had moved to T and everything changed 

I see the BS has started in Philly,hope you guys are OK.Hate to mention the draft(but I will).Not many OT prospects although I hope someone emerges in this messed up college atmosphere.I would be looking around for a possible DECENT BU to Dillard in the coming off season.I want to see who sandbags on purpose to get QB Trevor Lawrence.He is the best college QB I have seen in quite awhile.Depending where we pick I still would like to have RB Etienne in here(aka the pipeline we never keep going lol),but I know we need linemen desperately

As i remember they drafted Dillard because he hadn't given up a sack his entire senior year. The concern about him was run blocking.

No one could have foreseen Brooks AND Dillard being out for the season before it even started. I don't think ANY NFL team could have enough depth to make up for losing 2 starters this early.

IMA say THIS again also,they(meaning the FO staff) need to look at our board at draft time.I think we all have chosen better guys than what we got.MS2-bust ,Jjaw-on the road to bustville, Dillard? jury still out.Don't claim to be a pro picker but CMON MAN!!!!! I still say buy us beer and pizza and stick us in the war room.We will fight and throw pizza,but we will come up with better draft picks IMO

Fact remains JP's last year,and we have no viable BU even if Dillard starts playing.I'm not talking about getting a starter,I'm talking about an adequate BU instead of playing musical chairs

In other words,we need a clear 1,2 at every position while the rest fight it out

Without really doing any research i'll bet the Eagles backups are no worse than any one elses backups.

I'll bet they are. Some of the starters wouldn't be starters on other teams and as a result that shows how bad the back ups are!

Well,then we're back to the lousy strength and conditioning staff who can't keep guys on the field.It's like a freakin SIEVE

2017-SB win.Since then we are back to the annual and constant pressers of "we need to do better".Yeah,I think we got that by now.How about you actually do it?(in all phases).IDK I would never have dreamed the no namers lead the division HAHA(this is sad).SO 0-1 not the end of the world and getting some guys back,so we shall see if we respond and see if Wentz learned anything about throwing balls away and if Doug/Wentz can manage a game.Rams are pretty solid,we WILL need to do better,not talk about it

Pretty easy to see the OL will need to be addressed as well as the DL both are old.

Lane is what 30

Kelce 32-33

Brooks 29-30 coming off now two major injuries 

Even if Dillard works out and anchors the LT the rest still needs addressing.

They've been talking about this since the SB though as you say. The new norm? Is the new norm marginally above average?

IDK,seems to me the SB was a fluke now.We were SUPPOSED to be BETTER after that,yet we are back to .500 like usual

Who? Since the only starters right now are Lane, Kelce, and Seu.

The other 2 starters are laready backups.

I'm talking across the team not OL specifically.

IDK we can't keep guys on the field long enough to find out,we rush in 3rd stringers because that is our only option

IDK we could go 0-2 this week.We have to consider that.I think we can beat Cincy,then it gets tough again.Just beat Dullaz,that's my only dream now lol

One thing I would note about the offensive line is that Washington generated pressure because they blitzed relentlessly, not because their front four was better than our oline. To me, that is more of a coaching issue than a player issue.

We will see what adjustments we make this week. The one good thing is that the Rams dline lost two of their best pass rushers, and while Donald is still a force and Brockers is really good, the rest of the line is pedestrian.

It sounds like Lane, Miles, Graham, Barnett and Hargrave will all be available this week. Barnett and Hargrave, if they play, will probably only be out there for a few series, but getting them back is a real plus.

I would also expect Miles to play limited snaps. We should see more of Huntley. I think Clement is going to be used sparingly.

I don't see them needing to make any callups if all those guys can go. Toohill, Jalen, two linemen and Alshon are the likely inactives.

Right, but you always play your best 5 from the start.   You owe it to the rest of the team.  If Semaulo is one of the best 5, he belongs on the field.   you start with your best combo of 5.   An injury happens and then you gfo to your next best combo.   If that means that its a 6th best player regardless of position, and you have to move 2 guys, then you do it.   If it means one guy for G and another guy for T, and you keep the other 4 the same... then you do it that way.      Basically ... as Sunday shows ... you keep whatever the best possible combination of 5 that is available... on the field at ALL times!.    

If you want to bring in a 6th man... for an extra linemen... you can move one of the starting 5 outside or line them up however you feel is the best combo for that play.   

I absolutely see what you were trying to say.... but for me, if I dress 8 OL ... I start with the best combo of 5 out of the 8.   One guys gets hurt.... then I lineup the best combo of 5 out of the remaining 7 ..etc.    Always have the best lineup out there that you can.
