Need guys big enough to anchor in the middle. So Kelce being undersized obviously has more speed than the bigger ordinary C. yeah he sucks,we should traded him before the SB. WTH were we thinking? also we had an undersized RB we should never have signed in Sproles. These tiny guys never work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much lighter is Kelce than the " ordinary center " you make it seem like it's 50 lbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive in your race. I could have also been only two minutes behind the leader….of the next day. Ouch! You think the best player on the team is the kicker? What do you think about the rest of the roster then? Anybody else have an opinion of who the best player on the team is? And thank you for the accolades.

Senhorcook Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I know it is arbitrary and maybe even one person’s opinion, but it is interesting to note where they rank the Eagles’ players at their respective positions. Hurts at 21 - about right. Just below Mac Jones and 3 spots below Tua. P.S. Wentz is listed at 27…interesting. Sanders - 26…behind Hunt, a backup. Ouch! AJ Brown - 8 and Smith at 28. Big step up from what this team has had recently. Goedert - 7, 2 AHEAD of Ertz. Not sure about that, but he does block better. Mailata - 5 and Johnson - 8 clearly the strength of the team. NO GUARDS ranked in the top 20 of that position. Kelce - 3. I think he is #1 center in the league. Edge Rusher - Reddick at 21 and Sweat at 23. If Reddick is only slightly better than Sweat, that would be disappointing. DT - Hargrave at 10 and Cox at 21. Hargrave earned the recognition. Not sure he gets it without Cox next to him though. White at 22; 2 behind Alex Singleton whom I liked. Slay at 5. Maddox at 5 as SLOT DBs. No safetys ranked in the top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asg 15 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 13 hours ago, Senhorcook said: Thank you! I finished 8th. Brutal race! Top 50 qualifiers from last year and 12 did not finish or were disqualified. Started at 6,000 ft above sea level and climbed to 9,000 ft in the first three miles of the race. 30 obstacles and 6.5 miles….I just could not duplicate those conditions for training while carrying a management job. So I was pleased with my race. Unbelievably, the winner of the 50-54 age group had the fastest overall time as well. And the 2nd place guy in the age group had the 3rd fastest overall time. I was 2 minutes 23 seconds behind the winner. I am really excited to watch AJ Brown and D Smith play together. Reading an NFL magazine and the only Eagles player in the top 50 overall is……Jordan Mailata. Whoa! I love the young man, but that one surprised me. Good for him! Keep improving young man! Who do you think the best player on the team is? I am a big Jason Kelce fan. The team loses when Lane Johnson is out. Fletcher Cox dominated for years. New talent added is impressive…Reddick, Brown, and even Slay….last year. RB is the weak link on offense now, right? DE doesn’t look so hot either. Barnett is not a bust, but he is a disappointment. BG is a stud, but after his injury, he is a question mark. Josh Sweat played well, so maybe he continues to flash. i subscribe to the Finite Heartbeat Theory You only have so many heartbeats and when you use them you die Races like this use up heartbeats innecessarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure a guy like you " smartest guy on the planet type" would see the difference in Elliot? But looking back at the last playoff game... down 5 scores, if we could have only averaged 5 more net yards on the punts, would have made the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkline1958 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 seems I remember certain peeps like GB saying Kelce was too small etc a few yrs ago. I was always a pro Kelce guy as he has the intelligence and the heart. He will defy anyone to beat him on a regular basis. He will never say he's the best, but he's up there. Now if Jurgens can pick that up, we're golden at C for the next decade. The greats have the heart to do it. Heck, same in anything we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunninghamtheman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I’m very high on the AJ trade and have high hopes for him as our best player. Thought Slay was our top guy last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
