Dillard has next to no trade value and Howie won't cut him.  Maybe he gets stashed on IR out of site for another 11 months. 

Maybe they can relegate him to the practice squad in hopes that some team will claim him.

Howie won't cut him and admit total failure.   He'll keep him on the roster or IR him

Seumalo, Herbig could both play center, Driscoll even played some center in college.

If brooks goes down Herbig, Opeta ,Driscoll could fill in.

Surely though they need to decide where they want Driscoll to play? He showed some promise last year so I think they'll be best served identifying his best position and leaving him there as much as possible.

Good depth is a good problem. With that said, they all can't make the roster. So a couple (few?) will be gone.  

Oh no, someone should tell the team about the roster limits so they don't have too many OL!  

 

Team gave up 4 sacks and their quarterbacks were under duress all game. Feels like they don’t have enough lineman rather than too many.

We don't have a back up LT.  Or a back up C.  And Pryor at RT or anywhere makes the whole line worse.  True the OL looked terrible last night but more than any other position group, it is a unit that must function together.  So let's see how it looks when the weak players are cut

They didn’t even line them all up together last night. When is the first team going to get any type of continuity if the Eagles are constantly spot playing them in these preseason games? Last night they looked like a complete disjointed mess. 

Awosika will get some phantom injury and go to IR and get red shirted. 
Matt Pryor will make the roster for now until Landon gets healthy, after that I believe he gets cut sometime during the season 

 

Here’s my guys who make the team

Landon Short term IR

Andre Dillard gets cut or traded

LT Malaita Clarke

LG Samuelo Opeta 
 

C Kelce Herbig

RG Brooks Herbig 

RT Johnson Driscoll Pryor 

PS  Matt Toth  Luke Jurig

My god that's terrifying. I mean he has no place on this, or any, roster.

Jeff Stoutland will hold onto him until Clark has got enough reps and feels comfortable again to his Achilles. Landon I’m not sure what they are doing, I’m not sure if they are redshirting him or they do want him to play this year. Matt has played in games and been serviceable when he’s played in other games but you are right there is no excuse for his play thursday and after being in year 4 he needs to be consistent and he hasn’t been and it’s extremely frustrating because I have seen him dominate on snaps before the guy is a decent athlete and extremely massive i don’t understand how a guy like him who has talent and one of the best coaches can’t figure the game out and at least be a good backup
