NCiggles Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Alphagrand said: I think Goedert gets put on the franchise tag for 2022; they could have extended Mailata and Goedert and waited on Sweat, but the tag value for DE is currently much higher for DE than it is for TE -- about $17.7M for DE compared to only $10.6 for a TE. I'm still hopeful the direction is for Goedert to stay and Ertz to be gone but we'll see how it plays out. I think the Eagles are making a mistake having Ertz here this season, but that's JMO. Part of it depends on Barnett as well. I do think looking at what is available in the draft should come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Maxey highlight video, but that woman was so insufferable for that entire game. I'm not sure what your objection is their commentary.

Someone could have made a video of all the annoying things they said and itd be just as long. I suffered through that game and they were disgusting. The 10 seconds I suggested listening to was just a small sample of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about drafting for need... but about having a plan for the player. They seemed to really have no plan for Goedert. TE is not a premier position, but they needed to double up on it. And here we are in Year 4, and he's still the #2 TE. Give me the Brent Celek/Trey Burton #2 TE over a premium pick every time. Goedert wasn't a bad pick at the time, but has become a bad pick as they now have to decide whether or not to pay him at a premium TE price for a guy that they've never actually seen do it for a full season as the lead TE. Bad roster construction, bad succession planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they thinking about doing something like the Big 10 with their east and west? I don't follow college football much. UCF was in the eastern AAC so I wonder if they will do an East and West. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some more changes coming down. SMU would be a good add. UCF isn’t much further for the Texas teams than WVU.

The short passing game and running game will be there for the opposing offenses. Which means our sack production will be down. It will look like our D line is not as productive, unless you get a nice lead and the other team has to start dropping back every play. Like Atlanta. Then the defensive line starts to have a little fun. I expect more of that this week and as the season continues. I think pressure is going have to come up the middle. I mean Dak is taking under 3 seconds to make throws. I do think he misses defenders in zone coverage. So I could see Dak throwing an INT (if an Eagles DB can catch one). I don't think DE pressure is going to get to him. I think Connor Williams and Zack Martin are really too stout to give up in the way of immediate pressure. I wonder if they move to creating a lot of variety in the front and try to put Hargrave and Cox in situations where they are a 0 technique.

Utebird Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 2 hours ago, NCiggles said: I think he believed that he got the LB to commit in the other direction and did not account for the DT reading his cut back. The DT didn't have to fight off Kelce's block at all. Yup I remember shaking my head at this play, he has a guard pulling around a big gaping lane and instead of following the trap block he cuts it back right into the teeth of the D.

Why is that the only alternative? You've created a false dilemma. Why not a decent player at a more premium position that has a succession plan to get on the field? Each of these picks has a cumulative effect on the roster and poor choices in one year causes bad choices in the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I wonder who the Eagles are going to have line up primary at LDE with Graham out. I hope they don't just put Kerrigan there as he's mostly been invisible. Move one of Sweat or Barnett and throw in Milton Williams. Whoever it is will have a nice matchup going against La'el Collins.

I'd put Sweat against Tyron Smith and move Barnett over against Collins. I think Sweat's bend and speed would give Smith a lot of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence Steele is starting in place of Collins. I think putting Kerrigan over him would be fine. I am not sure why they couldn't move Sweat to that side as well.

It could work but your dealing with grown ass men if you don’t win this will get old quick and guys won’t respond. I dunno. Showing a film of the rivalry and cluing in the big chunk of the roster that doesn't understand how the fans get fired up is probably a good idea. Not just to motivate the team, the veterans know and lead the way, but to get new players tuned to the media attention that comes with this game. Otherwise, you might get "why is everyone making a big deal of this game, just another division rival?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuManu Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Iggles_Phan said: If it costs resources and doesn't actually improve the team... yeah, not sure how its a good pick. You don't draft a player to sit behind a Pro Bowler for his entire rookie deal, with your first pick in a draft, leaving yourself with the decision of paying top shelf money for a guy that you've never seen in the lead role. He's basically been a Trey Burton type player, but he's going to command big money... because "potential". I could change it to good player, bad decision if you prefer. Bad roster construction. Bad use of resources. Whichever you prefer. Sure. Although bad is still way too harsh. And saying "doesn’t actually improve the team” is a pretty nebulous argument to make. How many picks do you look at and definitively say "that guy makes the team better” if a quality two-way player like Goedert does not? How do you even quantify a statement like "does not actually improve the team?” That doesn’t just go for Goedert. I mean for all picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that the bench is deep to replace Graham. All 4 players mentioned could do just fine, and they could rotate them on situations. Kerrigan may be a new guy for the team, but he has been productive for years. He has a thumb injury that limits him thus far. Sweat just got extended and he would be looking to showcase his crafts. Williams has seen some action on the DL already and would want more PT. Barnett could just stay where he is and hold down that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirianni wore the shirt during a media session and now it’s being talked about in Dallas. You may not believe in bulletin board material but why take the chance? Plus he’s got his kids and wife wearing the beat Dallas shirts as well. If he wants to pander to the players and the fans fine but he better deliver. You know Dalllas will throw it in his face if they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
