Oh hell, now I remember him. Back to back sacks the game Jordan played RT

 

To be fair that was when they moved Mailata to RT because Lane was out. Can Reddick do this against Mailata on the left side? 👀

Banner thinks it’s a good deal. And we know Banner loves a good deal 

 

WIP and the fanatic can both go ****s. They’re talking about baseball right now

We signed him so we never have to find out

 

How do we think Daniel Jones is feeling this morning?

 Scheme Fit/Role: OUTSIDE LINEBACKER IN AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE: Reddick is at his best on blitz-heavy defenses like Carolina's and Arizona's that can create unblocked opportunities and pass-rushing reps against tight ends and running backs. Reddick hasn't matched his 2020 pass-rushing production this year for the Panthers, but he has earned positive grades against the run at one of the highest rates at the position.

This is what concerns me.  I hope Gannnon adjust the defense to this guy's strengths.

So who loses their starting spot?

Avery

So are we going to blitz now?

Wanted him in 17 after Davis and Lattimore were off the board

I like this. I am already soiling my rubber undies

So does this mean we don't draft a LB?

No he's an edge first and foremost.  He can play SAM in spots when Graham and Sweat are both on the field, but this dude will be there solely to disrupt the quarterback.  Great signing.

We don’t draft LBers whether we sign this guy or not

I don’t think this dude is here to play linebacker as his prime position. Eagles will still draft line and linebackers 

 

(says the dude who admitted he didn’t really know who this was a couple hours ago)

Great signing, absolutely rinsed mailata last season. 

Definitely an upgrade from Barnett 

They still could go DE in Round 1 but it opens the possibility they go elsewhere with their firsts which I doubt they use all 3 this year.

Wentz would have refused to let him come to the Eagles after that.

Love this! Reddick should be a good fit in Gannon's hybrid 4-3 scheme. Immediately gives the pass rush a huge boost.

BUT - don't stop here. Graham is old now. Strong DE draft. Johnson or Walker would still be great picks. Turn the pass rush from a major weakness into a major strength.

Decent QB fast_baller. 

Yeah, "decent." 5th most sacks in the league the last two years to go along with 8 FF, and 30+ TFL's.

He's not a traditional LB. He's a pass rush specialist. It keeps them from drafting a Bonnito, Lukens, Myjai Sanders this year, but I still fully expect a R1 DE and a traditional SAM LB at some point.

Doubt he's there at 15. But Ojabo or Johnson are options.

Interested to see if they see him as DE or SAM or both. He is very light for a full time DE so not sure if he can hold up at point of attack but pass rush is what he does best.

I suspect we will see him as a bit of hybrid. SAM when we are in base which isn’t a lot + passing downs DE. Thinking Gannon wants to use SAM more (ala Barr in Vikings) but Avery wasn’t good enough to be on field as much.

I’d be very happy with either of those guys. Both have a lot of potential

He will absolutely be a moving piece on this D and will spend more time standing up rushing then he does with his hand in the dirt.

It's an interesting signing for sure. On the one hand they'd picked up a really good and productive player. Someone who gets to the QB and can have a real impact. But it doesn't feel a natural fit in this defense. I know Gannon is not Schwartz and that he uses a SAM to rush the QB but how much is Reddick going to be on the field? On the one hand the contract suggests a lot but he's not a DE...

What it does show is their commitment and buy in to Gannon.

Red dick, what do you need to know more? Finally decent replacement for Long Cox

Eagles announcement calling him a LB.

 

Well we do need a LB too
