He's an elite return man. Can run circles around Ward and Reagor. But... can he run circles like Hurts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the ability to make them 1.5x their production from Hurts. He made Doubs a 4th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on that one. My guess would be no. What QBs have had their careers limited by any ACL injury in recent years? Hes not a runner, and never gonna be. Hes a QB with a little bit of mobility to move around the pocket, even get outside the pocket a little bit. But rarely going to ever take off running. Id guess its going to hold up a good long time. Id love to hear him and Howie talk about it. Im hoping for another Nakobe Dean type of answer. "Yeah Im good. Im ready to go. Full participant in camp next week." I @ you to a story talking about the things he's had done. It sounds like it was supposed to be a year recovery but he started playing after 6 months and now it's getting close to 100%. They talk about the scope he had in August and how if something was wrong they would have done another procedure then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay attention before the injury, and even pre-draft workouts- the guy is not a statue at all. He can move comparably to Foles. I think he is going to shock people with his mobility as soon as he gets to camp. And we have a gem. Still can't believe he wasn't drafted. REALLY can't believe he's going to be wearing Eagles' green. I just hope this doesn't turn into a Mostert situation. You remember that, I'm sure.

The interesting part to me is it sounded like it's not that uncommon to have two procedures done with what he had. That doesn't mean the sky is falling or it would always be an issue, but I'm obviously not a doctor and basing it on the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayAreaLennie Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Realistically 32 NFL teams went 7 rounds (really 8 rounds when you factor in all the compensatory picks), and not a one of them thought Strong was worth expending a draft pick on. I get the excitement about his arm, but to quote Winston Wolf, "Let's not start sucking each other's Ds quite yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sack that QB Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The Nakobe Dean situation is so weird. He fell so far, Shoen on the Giants said everyone knows why he fell, but he can't talk about it. And then Howie is like "We talked to our doctors, he's fine." And Dean said himself he's fine. In several months, someone or someones are going to look really stupid.

"Osteochondritis dessicans" That's the one I posted in the UDFA and it sounds much better than what some people have mentioned. It also makes sense he had to compensate because he couldn't drive off it after only 6 months, which had to screw his mechanics. I don't get why a team wouldn't throw a late round pick out there to roll the dice?? So happy they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Osteochondritis dessicans" I saw that. I think DUM shared it a little bit ago. A lot of times you can get an OCD lesion with an ACL injury. Im assuming thats how his occurred. Regardless, you are right it looks like the concern would be over the OCD rather than the ACL. And it also looks like the OCD lesion has been repaired, and the repair has remained intact. And the knee is fine. 2 minutes ago, BayAreaLennie said: Realistically 32 NFL teams went 7 rounds (really 8 rounds when you factor in all the compensatory picks), and not a one of them thought Strong was worth expending a draft pick on.

Sack that QB Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I know everyone's going to be focused on QB next year, but I'm just going to put this out there right now way ahead of time. If the Eagles a year from now are unable to move up and get one of the top QBs even with their plethora of picks, they should do everything they can to move up and get Will Anderson. He's honestly one of the best pass rushers I've ever seen. He is so Fing good, the guy would terrorize QBs for years. I'd rather have him than settle for like the 4th best QB in next year's class.
