Are they still competing or is Dillard officially a 2nd stringer?

Hearing a lot of "Football I.Q." in the pressers.

Nothing campy about clearly stated values to create a culture.

Also, to echo @justrelax, note the players shown with the values....BG, Kelce, McLeod, and Sanders.  Guys whose behaviors in the locker room demonstrate those values.

No idea why they even bothered making this a padded practice. They are barely doing anything.

Elaborate. What are they doing wrong?

I didn’t say they did anything wrong, but when you only get so many padded practices per the CBA you should take advantage of them and use them to work on tackling, more physical drills. All they have done for 50 mins is some footwork drills and just finally started 7v7’s

Nothing official, but Dillard is still limited anyway. Sounds like he isn’t doing team drills yet.

Needed a telephoto to capture all the leadership.

I feel like this is going to be a reoccurring thing with him

If Sirianni is true to his word about competition... a competition for a job never ends.  If Mailata missteps, he could be replaced if Dillard earns that.

It's a recurring thing with this team

I get that feeling too.  I hope we're wrong.

If so, it reminds me of this shining star of UK Politics

Regardless, those are some big feet for such a little guy

I'm just wondering who besides evil cartoon characters stands like that.

Dillard is limited, so probably not taking all the reps.

We have plenty of other players who are/can be "leaders" in the locker room. Graham is getting older and we are no where near competing. 

Get what you can, while you can.

Meh...  you'd not likely get enough to make it remotely worthwhile...  there are certain guys that are just "Eagles", and you don;t trade that away for peanuts, especially while the guy is still productive...  there's just no point...

yup.  Someone needs to be around to teach what it means to 'be an Eagle great'.  Graham may not be an all-time talent, but he will live forever in Eagles lore.  He has seen the ups, the downs, and the ultimate.  His play against the Pats sealed his place in Eagles' history.

 

And I know that I am a bit sentimental... but to me, Brent Celek fit the same role.   Not a great in terms of talent, but a great in terms of 'glue' guys.  Every team needs guys like that.
