 It sure what I think about that.  Everyone that Gannon stuck in that role last year was invisible on defense. 

You think the position is invalid because Genard freaking Avery and a 7th round pick didn't play well in it?

Ojabo and Reddick in one offseason would be a big start to fixing the pass rush.

I think Reddick means we are not going to draft Bonitto, or Luketta.

But we will be in on traditional DEs for sure.

Do we have faith in Gannon to do this?  That's the only reason I question it.  I don't know how good Gannon is at creating opportunities.  No doubt, Reddick can get after the passer.

 

That's were I'm stuck with it. Everyone was saying how boring and uncreative Gannon was last year. Counter argument could be he didn't have useful players so we'll see.

Still think they'll invest in the DL, but not exclusively DE.

Agreed. I want Wyatt R1 anyway. Give me an Ojabo, Wyatt, Booth R1 Howie, dammit.

And I do believe we have been liked to Reddick in previous years.

We have also been linked to JuJu, and I think possibly Mathieu too. 

One time Chris Gocong led the NCAA in sacks and the Eagles drafted him to cover TE.  Can't blame me for thinking the Eagles don't know how to use guys in regards to their best abilities.

That was how many coaching staffs ago?

Sheil understands where some of us are coming from.

Wow, that is great news.

Very good player and with how the contracts go that‘s a decent price.

I know, it was just a comment about something that sticks out in my head in full understanding that was multiple coaching staffs ago.

I get it.    But if it leads to a Nakobe Dean sack from a double A-gap pressure, then I'd be fine.

He's going to be a defensive weaponzzz, utilized in different spots depending on down and distance. One thing the guy has proven on two different teams is he can get to the QB. Only 4 players who have more sacks than him the past two years. He gives Gannon a VERY nice chess piece to play with.

Curious to see where Patterson lands , he is just a weapon. , return guy , RB and WO .

Where are they playing him ??  6'1" 235 pound at DE is not gonna get it done.

He‘s an upgrade for Avery.

And given his sack numbers he knows how to get to the QB. All that matters.

Estimated cap after Reddick signing?

Sweat and Reddick are the most explosive set of pass rushers the Eagles have had in a long time. You add a traditional DE in the top 2 rounds and this pass rush is gonna eat.

Now let's get some coverage players to make the QBs think a little bit.

"...……….." Nation is one of the dumbest most overused sayings around.  I f-ing hate it...it's so lame.
