GroundAttack Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My most intriguing camp battle this camp. Really surprised that Ertz is still here. If he’s gone then Goedert is obviously the number one. The other corner spot opposite of Slay is open to but with our line finally healthy it should be among the tops in the league. The best player will and should win the LT spot but I would give Dillard another year to battle it out and show his potential. Either way I’m ok with whoever wins it but should be great to see how it plays out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerolithe_Lion Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My brain wants Dillard to win so that our first round pick was a great success, but my heart wants the guy who didn’t even know what American Football is until he was of drinking age to become the greatest lineman in Eagles history 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YubaEagle Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I like Mailata's game and think he'll take a leap this year in talent. I feel like best case scenario for the team is if Dillard outplays him. That would mean Dillard is playing at a really high level, and Mailata is more versatile and can play the right side, which Dillard can't. Whatever the case, I think the LT position will be good this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltpeter Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 For all the talk about how raw Mailata is, at least he doesn't get plowed over every time he's bull rushed. A Mailata/Dickerson left side is enticing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphagrand Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Whoever wins the spot as full time starter at LT, I want to see a reverse called to the left against DAL where Mailata has the opportunity to blow up Jaylon Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I just want one of them to play at a high level and lock down the position for the next 8+ years … I don’t really care which one that is. And our line may finally be healthy, but can they stay healthy? That is the biggest question (other than who mans LT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beto_eagles Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Mailata seems like a pretty nice dude. I'm rooting for him to win and hopefully Dillard can land a second rounder or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the over/under for which game the first starting lineman misses more than one game due to injury, 4.5 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyEaglez Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have doubts about the mental toughness of Dillard to play in the NFL, but in a perfect world both Mialata and Dillard turn out to be successful. At some point Lane won’t be here anymore so if the Eagles could get both players to a level of great to elite then Dillard at LT and Mialata at RT would be a win/win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Love the Mialata story and rooting for him to win the LT job. That would be one of best successes of developing young talents. On the other hand, also wish both Dillard and Mialata would find their respective role on the team. Can't have enough quality OTs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I hope Dillard is a better player than we've had the chance to see thus far but I honestly don't see this being much of a competition. I think Mailata will be the starter at LT with little threat from Dillard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such an odd situation. If Mailata ends up winning the job and reaching his potential, then Dillard losing out would be a total wash. However, I don't want to excuse Howie from totally busting on yet another first round pick (one that he actually traded up for). Part of me wishes Dillard would win this job outright, because I have no faith in him being able to take over at RT when Lane inevitably goes down to injury. I'd rather have Mailata in the swing tackle position. Regardless, I guess it's not a terrible problem to have since there is a clear lack of talent at the tackle position around the league.

There is talk that Dillard has turned the corner and is a new man. If that is true, and he becomes what he should be, he will win the spot. But if it's just talk, then it's not going to happen. It's worth watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
