Guest Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, EazyEaglez said: Over a month ago nothing was happening. I wrote back then the best case scenario is that both players are good so we won’t need to restructure Lane, and one can be the LT while the other is the RT. Since then Lane has been restructured, and Mialata seems to be clearly winning the battle. Oh well. Not sure what @GroundAttack is talking about. I am a WSU fan, want Dillard to succeed and take the job, but it is quite clear from all reports that Mailata is winning by a country mile.

Did you see every catch Justin Jefferson made last season? Are you contesting the ones you didn't see yourself? Herbig didn't even allow a single QB hit over the final 8 weeks and you want to dismiss video that not only shows him blocking effectively, but reading and reacting extremely well and understanding his assignment, because the video doesn't include every snap? Spoiler alert, he still doesn't allow a sack or QB hit. I know that in 2019, JP was no longer a Pro Bowl worthy player. In 2020, I still thought the Eagles were being smart bringing him back to fill some big voids. I was wrong. Looking back, it was almost criminal for him to start at LT ahead of Mailata and later at RG ahead of Herbig. JP, maybe the toe had some impact (IDK), was a huge liability last year when he played. Sticking with him as long as they did was one of several head-scratching personnel decisions the Eagles made last year. Others on my list are starting Gerry over Singleton, Jeffery over Fulgham, Hurts over Wentz (after the initial benching). A saboteur couldn't have done a better job than the Eagles in destroying the Eagles last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaeagle2 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/08/dolphins-looking-to-trade-for-offensive-tackle wonder if miami would give their 2nd round pick next season for dillard , since they need a LT. would be a decent return on a player that needs a new start. that would give the team 3 2nd's if the colts pick turns into the 2nd.

ggs5008 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 2nd round pick for a guy that's been either been hurt or can't beat a 7th round pick? I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point they are probably just better off keeping him to be honest. Who knows maybe he gets it together enough to be an OK back up this year. Unless they think they have a better option on the current roster and then they may just want to cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Dillard is back on the shelf, again, indefinitely. So no one is going to trade anything at all for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would do well to get a 6th round pick now. Might be a 7th or even a conditional 7th. The league knows he is a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been hearing about TC red flags based around Dillard since he was drafted. From the anger outbursts, to crying, and getting owned by a guy who can’t even make the roster in Ostman. It’s time to start realizing this kid doesn’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real concern for me is how people have been stating that this guy has been looking awful compared to Mialata, but it seems like the Eagles before the injury were determined to keep throwing him out there with the first team regardless of his play. I just hope that Rosemanisnt forcing the coaches to play guys for no reason other than their contracts or draft status. It really feels like Sirianni has no say over the roster at all. Probably why Doug lame ducked his way out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they fired his coaches he wanted out and the performance of the team showed it. Doug probably messed up promoting the guys he did, but it’s not like the guys they forced on him were any better. Ownership/management have too much say in the players in this group of players and possible coaching staff. Doug was saddled with Schwartz before he was even hired. Too much power by non NFL people.

I don't disagree except the whole " well if he was a football guy" Howie has been dreaming of and working toward being an NFL GM since he was 9 years old and has been on the eagles staff for 20 something years. Calling him a non football guy at this point is kind of ridiculous. That being said Howie's sucks but, there is 100's of great football players that make absolutely terrible GMs. Just like there is coaches that never played a down of football past high school and they make damn good coaches. Michael Jordan was and is one of if not the greatest player in any sport of all time and he is a complete disaster when it comes to drafting good players. Bash Howie all you want but, being apart of and working towards where he is now for more then half of his life makes him a football guy. Hell he is more of a football guy then Mailata lol.

Howie has spent more time working the behind the scenes politics to gain power than he has making actual football decisions. That’s why he gets the praise when the Eagles are good, but when a player stinks people blame everyone but Howie. Where is his accountability? How is it his draft selections have been terrible, but the Eagles made no changes in that department? The coach was bad. He’s gone. The quarterback was bad. He’s now gone too. The GM was bad. He gets even more power. SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
