    Regarding companies monitoring their employees emails and internet activity, this is 100 true… About 20 years ago I was called into my boss’ office, where he reprimanded me for looking at porn on

Looks like an ACL for Edwards. Ravens RBs dropping like flies.

Thats why you dont use high draft picks or break the bank for RB's. You need multiple RB's

    I wonder what the Eagles could get in a trade for Boston Scott...

    remember the contested catch and off target throw analytics for them respectively?

    they were totally analytics clown picks

    Sure there is some level of statistical analysis that were reasons for the pick but it's not like there weren't scouting reports and scouting decisions. Additionally, there were definitely reports that the scouting staff wanted Jefferson over Reagor.  Reagor was who the coaches preferred.  JJAW was pretty well scouted as a consensus 2nd round pick.  He was compared to Marques Colston and was a productive college player.

    so you would keep Howard over Scott? 

    Baltimore definitely should go for Latavius Murray now

    I guess Marcus Peters and Gus Edwards had major knee injuries on back to back plays just now.

    Just tagged @4for4EaglesNest in the blog fantasy thread, he drafted him.  In my two leagues, my last pick, current Baltimore Ravens starter Ty'Son Williams.

    The biggest disappointment of the summer has been Davion Taylor flashing the first week of camp and then getting injured and still not really getting over it.  What seemed like it was going to be a season that he would actually play a role of significance now seems like another season where he is just a forgotten guy on the bench.

    Nice that we overcorrected on that again with Dickerson.  We can only hope that this time, they get it right.

     

    The NFL since the time Colston was drafted (in the 7th round) started moving towards faster WRs... not big guys who could box out defenders.  Marques Colston was drafted in 2006.  The NFL has changed.  Taking a WR like Colston in Round 2 is foolish, especially when this team really was struggling with any kind of deep speed.  They had a TE to work the middle of the field.  They had just drafted another TE to work the middle of the field, and felt the best move was to draft a guy who struggled with speed and separation?  Just a terrible, terrible selection.

    Howard has no market value.  He's on the PS, and the Eagles didn't protect him.  He can't be traded, the Ravens could literally just offer him a contract.  

    But, I was being facetious.  In a situation like the Ravens are in, they are likely looking to bring in some team's under-utilized but talented #2 RB.  Scott, believe it or not, right now is this team's #2 RB.  It was more a back-handed swipe at Howie.

    Wow.  I took Ty'Son Williams in the last pick I had in my fantasy draft last night.

    ahhh, honestly I like Gainwell, I think he will be decent addition. Also I think they p[rotected Howard even though he is on the Practice Squad? I may be wrong but I thought he is one of the 4 protected PS players?

    I assumed not, but maybe they did.

     

    I also like Gainwell, but I still think he's #3 to start the year.

    'Owens recalled a moment where the relationship with McNabb started to sour. During a play, the wide receiver ran a route, ending up wide open. Instead of hitting the open man, the signal-caller threw the ball to a different receiver. T.O. said he went back to the huddle to see why he didn’t get the ball. "He told me to shut the f*** up,” Owens said of McNabb’s response.'

    Well props to Donovan. if this was how it started, Donny was totally right and TO is an ego.

    agreed. But I have a feeling with Sanders inability to stay on the field we will see Gainwell play a pretty decent role by years end.

    If sanders still struggles to catch the ball and nagging injuries again hit him that there’s a chance sanders they might not want to extend sanders unless it’s at their price. I watch gainwell and think he has a lot of Austin ekeler and Dave meggett ability in his game.

    They actually did, otherwise I could see maybe the Ravens sniffing around him.
