Only if its a significant package for Singleton. He's the NFL leading tackler after all. Patrick Willis, Ray Lewis, Bobby Wagner, Alex Singleton. Basically all the same. 

Singleton, give him credit of flying around and getting to the ball carrier.  His problem is he cannot take down the carrier and often bounce off.  Other teams, e.g. Bills, the first defender gets to the carrier, even if he cannot take down him, is able to slow down the advance and the other defenders arrive and gang tackle the carrier.

Next 4 games: atDetroit, Chargers, atDenver, Saints.

Chargers & Denver's #1 weakness is run D. Their pass D is good. We're not beating either without Miles. If we don't win this week, it'll be a looooong losing streak.

 

Denver is worse than us in my opinion.  I think we win that game.

That's what I was told in here!

Yeah I remember.  Being Canadian (not Canadien) I watch quite a bit of CFL football and was familiar with Singleton from when he played in Calgary.  He has "some" ability as a coverage LB and was a tackling machine up here too.  I have a brother who cheers for Calgary so I asked his assessment of Singleton; he told me "he's great at making tackles -- 5 yards down the field"

That's pretty much what we're seeing this year.  Probably better than Nate Gerry in coverage (couldn't be worse) and probably better instincts -- but JAG and extremely replaceable.  Zeke didn't have much trouble running through him at the goal line and it's been a theme when he's been asked to make a big stop near the LOS; he can't do it.  To be a good defense the Eagles need a better and more imposing athlete there.

Just move the jaguars there. 

I think the NFL may have offered the Chargers and St. Louis turned them down, unofficially.  Isn’t Khan in Jax doing his best still, to go to England?

In that game, they at least have one above-average unit (their defense). We have none.

I'm sure the law would consider that there are multiple layers of protection that should have been in place on a movie set, that aren't applicable to most "didn't know it was loaded" claims. As the actor, he would have been trusting that these fail safes were in place, there'd be no liability on him that way. 

As the producer, totally different ball of wax, and in fact likely he would be liable that way. 

there is enough blame to go around on this one.

Producer, Director, AD, Armorer and actor were all negligent. 

1) Never should have been live rounds on the set

2) There were already misfires and crew walked out - what was done after the walk out to ensure safe practices were being employed? (if nothing who is ultimately responsible? Producer/Director?)

3) If armorer guilty of having live rounds on set and being negligent in her duties- who hired, approved, aned made no changes after walk out of crew with earlier incident? 

4) All persons who handled that gun are negligent. Every single one. The AD who checked only three rounds, the person who loaded a mixture of rds in the gun, and the actor who did not check the gun before he pointed a gun at someone and pulled the trigger.

 

What should happen?  In criminal matters  with whom should be charged with negligence/ manslaughter , All should be held liable - but thats not how our F-d up justice system works. A scape goat will be made to take the fall alone and those more powerful will walk free.

In a civil suit - All could face being responsible for damages.

You are really overrating the importance of RB, let alone one who isn’t a top player at his position. I don’t think his absence matters all that much.

Idk about the St. Louis part. I know the chargers wanted to be in LA or Vegas. Haven’t stayed up to date with the jags and that attempt. I think that’s just ridiculous even with giving teams byes after playing them. Hard to give a team a bye week in week 16 if they play in London week 15 or teams will get the dolphins treatment where they just don’t get a bye

We ran down the Raiders' throats with Miles. He gets hurt. We're no longer able to run with Gainwell/Scott. It killed our offense.

Now, if our offense is dependent on an RB, that's a different problem...

Not that it was likely to happen but Eagles probably can't trade Sanders now that he's on IR.

We can in the offseason. 🙂

 

Harris is Doubtful

Kerrigan is playing

Didn't commit to Wallace or Jackson but one of them is likely taking Sanders spot

You’re talking about a single drive. The smallest of smallest sample sizes. Our ability to run or not will have much more to do with the OL and our commitment to it.

I’d like to see Hightower this week.

Doubt it. Howard is one call up. They need a S with the other since they only have 2.

Sounds like they might not have fertilized and watered the safety position correctly

Isn’t JJAW out? I thought he was going to miss a week or 2. 

This is the closest we’re gonna get to having someone traded for a bag of chips. A 7th in 2024 lol.

Same story with the Panthers game yet we beat them.

I'd be more confident the lions would win if he was playing. We need him to drop the last pass of the game in the endzone.
