Impressive physical specimen, but there is absolutely no polish or nuance to his game. He’s all athlete. I have no confidence that we could get the most out of him in Philly with Aaron Moorehead as WR coach. Hard to get a beat on Burks' projection. I have seen him mocked as high as #9 overall to mid 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Cox, Lane, Mailata freakish size/athleticism combo. Travon Walker from Gerogia is getting a lot of buzz as that kind of prospect. Karlaftis is another D-Lineman expected to test really well.

If we look for a TE I want another guy who is a major threat in the passing game. We need a QB if we’re gonna have a passing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmons never wanted to play for the Sixers, but he played well enough to get that 2nd contract, he wanted the celebrity part of basketball and used it to become rich, he could of made some waves to get traded to the Lakers or Clippers but didn’t, again because he didn’t care. I guarantee Simmons is the reason Butler left, Butler called Simmons out on his lazy play, and Ben cried to management. The Tank is a failure, as anyone with half a brain knew it would be, now they’re wasting Embiid and he’s the one who should ask to be traded. F’ Simmons, Morey, and Morey’s butt buddy Hinkie, who probably Tanks pocket pool. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/sixers/shaq-destroys-sixers-crybaby-ben-simmons-tremendous-rant The tank is a failure b/c the Sixers owner bowed to the league and hired BC. Had they stuck with The Process they'd be a juggernaut. OKC is following the Hinkie playbook further than he ever tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never cried so much as the day I took my dog to a crematorium to have her burnt to ashes. I still have them along with some of my father's and my sister's Akita. My dad really loved both dogs, so fitting they are all together waiting to have mine added. i hold it together when people die, though havent had a whole lot of people really close to me die..but when one of my pets die, i absolutely lose it on an emotional level.

RLC Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 7 hours ago, The Blackfish said: Avant on his Q&A show today was asked about a Free Agent WR coming to Philly, he laughed and then went on a rant to the point of it being off putting from a guy that helped coach Eagles WR’s last season. From the team having a rushing offense, to not being close to winning, and the QB play that pretty much stinks. Unless they’re overpaid, then why even consider the Eagles an option. Then he names every QB he considers better than Hurts, and their teams. This is false. Of course, Avant got fired by the Eagles, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 7 hours ago, ManuManu said: Funny you mention Bell. I just watched him. I don’t think he’s all that similar to Smith, but I think he’s a well-rounded guy who can be an X. He has decent size. He can separate. He can make contested catches. Smith does all those things much better and in a smaller frame. I liked Bell so much more than I expected. I’d be happy with him in round 2, and potentially he’s a good running mate for Smith. Incredible route runner, easy separater. Excellent hands. Good speed. Love him in round 2. Just don't know if I love taking a WR that really. I think I like him more than either Ohio State guy though. I just remember last season when OSU played Alabama. I was high on Olave and thought maybe he could even shock people and outperform Smith in that game. Smith stepped up with a big game. Olave disappeared. Now I have a little sour taste from him.

Original Sin Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Gardner , Ridder , Sanders etc get the hype for the Bearcats , but Beavers is my favorite player on that team , heck of a athlete , who will kill it testing , bounced all over the defense all 3 levels at one time or another .love what he offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being tall, being fast or even both doesn't make you a good WR. How about some detail on routes, hands, high pointing, body control, run blocking, YAC, football IQ. You know, the package of skills you need to be a good NFL receiver. Nah, we like short, slow, receivers that can't catch, that's what I've been accustomed to as an eagles fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I am not saying I want this to happen or that it will Suppose someone like Olave fell to our first pick.

I don't know how fast he will be, but he does move well laterally for a LB his size. Have seen him compared to Zaven Collins who shot up boards last year. No hype for Beavers yet.

He looks like he’s playing against my 7 year old nephew and his friends. I hate Ben Simmons more than any athlete that has ever stepped foot in Philly. I’d like an open discussion on why Ben Simmons is such a **** while I go to bed and "mental health” is not an acceptable answer since that’s obviously not why he’s being such a huge V.
