I think you're a bit out of date. For one thing, there are individuals with XXY chromosomes. So exactly what "reality" are we dealing with? And of course, genes don't work on their own, they are blueprints but the prenatal environment can have a significant impact on their expression.

Next thing you're gonna tell us that homosexuality is a biological aberration, despite it being identified in practically every mammalian species.

 

Common sense, empathy, tolerance and humor is the best way to deal with these issues, don't make life any harder than it already is for most people.

Like to see the research that identifies other mammals as homosexual?

 

Panthers just keep trading for CBs. Gilmore of course played for South Carolina and is from the general area.

Not their problem.  The problem lies with those that can't take what has been said at face value and leave it be.  It is "personal".  That should be enough for people to leave it be.  

Well, the Eagles have shown such a tendency towards honesty with the fans about why and for how long players might be absent, I can understand that there is going to be some speculation about what is going on.

Perspective: 

 If you really only want to call 3 a game, and you call 7, then to you it is a lot. 

I've remarked on this multiple times, the game is moving towards screens and flips around the LOS replacing or augmenting the run game.  The desired effect is the same as handing the ball off, keeping the D honest.

Sixth rounder for a banged up 31 year old former DPOY CB in the final year of a contract for which that defensive back has expressed dissatisfaction and a desire for an extension at $15 million a year or Josiah Scott on the second year of a rookie fourth round contract?

I tend to just let people be who they are.  But I struggle to understand why everyone has to have a label, whether political, social, caste, race, religion, or sexuality. Kind of defeats individualism.  We kind of rebelled against such stereotyping in the sixties.  Now if you undertake some adoption of what is perceived as outside your classification, you are misappropriating someone else’s culture.  Classifying and segregating aren’t the way to enlightenment.

I personally don't care, people can do what they want but if I have to use urban dictionary to figure out things then that's an issue.

CMC against our LBs. Good luck.

He's going to have a great game against us

What's the rush to trade him?  

There's a considerable amount of irrational disdain for Dillard for some reason in here.  Outside of one game where he was asked to play RT with no practice and warm up period he's been pretty darn good.

Snap counts this year below.  So not only is he playing the most snaps, and d@mn near all of them, THE POINT, is he left Philadelphia and has not missed a game, while playing almost 100% of the snaps.

There was for Seumalo too. Kelce got ripped for a while as well a few years back. Can't handle a DT on his nose, they said. Some people have no clue about OL play. No matter. They parade their ignorance.

In addition to this, considering the rash of injuries we have to our o-line every year (and other teams have similar issues), wouldn't you want more quality depth than less?

Kelce toe to toe against a DT has never been a strength of his…

Jack Driscoll was just removed from the IR list and wasn't told he'd be starting at RT until hours before kickoff and then went on to have a decent game.  Who knows how much he practiced if at all at RT last week.  From what we were told, he was preparing at RG so Dickerson could be moved to LG.

When Dillard was forced in to action he laid an absolute egg.  One was a 1st round pick who the Eagles used 3 draft picks to get while the other is a 4th round pick.  It's easy to get down on Dillard and want him gone.

RPO's or not, he still had 4 penalties on Sunday so even while his play is improving, he still has a ways to go.  If both of them prove to be solid starters at either T position and one becomes expendable, I'm trading Dillard to save salary and hopefully bring back better return.

He's a turnstile when rushers try to use power to bull rush through him.  I'd imagine a large reason we completely abandoned any attempt at a running game these past two games is because Dillard does not have the strength to run block.  He has also had 4 penalties in 2 starts this season.

Have it your way.

the dillard fan club coming out meanwhile when he was drafted people projected him as the next tra Thomas or Jason peters. By the way folks were talking about him on here he should be a starter by now at a pro bowl level. Instead he’s a backup LT who can only play LT and goes back to the bench when mailata returns. 

He has been competent in 2 starts in his 3rd year. He has also started 2 games has 6 penalties and there’s been mistakes on his end on lining up costing the eagles a touchdown and protection issues (cause ross tucker broke it down). 

what people were saying is that his value taken in the first round wasn’t worth the pick since the eagles decided he was going to be a backup to mailata (after paying him) especially after they restructured lane’s contract.

Your imagination is misleading you. He is no longer a turnstile. His run blocking was fine. Our problems stemmed from lack of cohesion in the interior.
