Maybe Howie can send some extra booze in the suite and get a deal done for cheap?

Dude.... Taylor isn't getting traded this week.  Unless it's for good compensation and he has the long term deal in place.

Still a decent chance he doesn't get traded.... Irsay is an idiot. You can't predict what idiots will do.

That's what I said it will go into the weekend

Never heard any report about Gains doing anything dynamic

Me neither.... just constant reports that he seems to be the lead RB out of the rotation.    The lead....as in first guy.   

Again...because it seems he is the guy that can do it all...and maybe they are focusing on Swift receiving and Penny short yardage....which doesn't translate in camp..not the modern version of camp anyway. 

Swift is wowing with the receiving as after 4 years of Sanders being blah... it stands out.

Yeah she gets to talk to him whenever. Very few are allowed that close of contact. She's not a groupie,but when she goes to his concerts her and my grandaughter have free access to all areas. She has some cool backstage photos

I know Sam and Karl Malone... heard of Post Malone... not familiar much with the modern music.

In that case I will say Swift and Penny unless you count Hurts as RB

We could count his rushing... but I say just RB so we can compare rushing and receiving.

Me either. He's very popular that's all I know and being deaf I can't tell you what he sounds like

The depth chart is in alphabetical order.... for the RBs.

I'll be surprised if it gets done by the weekend.

I'm hoping Penny can stay healthy. he is viewing this as a chance to get back into the groove. He was very effective in his last games. If he can stay out there I expect some big things from him. Also an alternative to the "tush push" and a goal line hog

right but they are all lumped together,there is no sequence like some other positions,so there is no clear 1,2,3. This was a composite of writers,so there is no clear lead RB as they see it

I wouldn't. If he is going to another team he will need a little time to acclimate and learn their playbook. So I suspect the weekend will be the agent viewing and comparing all the offers(or whatever comes in)

I love the QB sneak.  I prefer passing .. the entire teams engaged in strategy and physical battles...the lines and the coverage battles....the individual battles ...and the team strategies involved...  but my favorite run is the sneak.   Simple and common sense...you need less than a yard, the offense knows the snap count, they should get it every time.  No exchange of the ball and no QB going backwards to start the play.  Just right in your face and 1st down!

IMO he would really help the Ravens

The tush push was so effective they considered a rule against it

You are missing the forest because you see some trees here. Taylor is arguably the best RB in the league. So he becomes RB1. Moving Swift to RB2. Swift brings more to the receiving game. Penny hasn’t done anything for you to compare him equally to Taylor that has lead the league at the position. Just a terrible reach by you. It’s like you don’t like the idea of DeVonta and AJ both on our team. Almost like you are suggesting we need to ditch one of them for Quez to takeover their role. Makes no sense to me.

Why would Taylor get traded to the Eagles who have very little money to pay him? He wants paid!!!!

This is from the Eagles website... writers from the Eagles website...reflecting what the team wants to put out... I was referring to what the local media has  been saying all camp that Gainwell is taking first or slightly more reps.  Seemingly the lead guy.

I don't think Irsay will  trade him by the weekend... unless he gets wowed with an offer. Not sure a team is going to do that yet?

Anyway,with the bevy of backs plus Hurts,plus Goedert we have a great GL package and we can exploit the weaknesses week to week

We have money..  just doubt Howie pays it.    You never know.  

BTW I found this interesting. I understand it's fantasy,but the Eagles D is going off the board as the first defense taken

It's happened in all 3 drafts I have been in

They led the league in sacks.  Pretty good start to the schedule.  But it is weird though

Agree..but let's talk reality... do you think they offer him the big contract and offer the Colts a decent trade in the next few days?

Well we play better teams this year,so it may be tougher to replicate the past stats. We'll see

Well as I said AZ could WAY overpay,they have a load of loot, but he would flounder with that team. Probably a worse team than Indy. They could jump on him and outbid anyone
