There remains a slither of hope, but only a small slither that he isn't a complete bust. Agholor was outta here at the end of the 2016 season but is still in the league. 4 hours ago, Aerolithe_Lion said: We’ve already completely replaced Reagor with multiple high-investment players not 2 years after drafting him 21st overall. That way trumps the second round pick JJAW, who could very well end up with a longer Eagles tenure JJAW could have tenure, but he's produced very little and has changed postion. 3 hours ago, Infam said: Fair. Though Agholor and Reagor sure gave it their all.. Agholor is still in the league and producing. He had 2017 season, which was very productive. 2 hours ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: I did. They were one of the finalists. Watch out for Nicholaus Iamaleava. He's going to the perfect system for his skillset. Nicholaus Iamaleava. Is he?

Also a typo, he means July 26 Why would you want to bring in the rookies early and get them some extra coaching with the staff? Get some of the basics down before the larger group comes in and the number of reps drops off dramatically? pfft. Unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug did the same thing and he's doing it with the Jaguars too. Not sure what the PS has to do with anything. Doug didn't do things perfectly, and the team put very little emphasis on preseason games, but also struggled at developing young players. Maybe there's a link between those things. But then again, maybe this staff knows less than the 22 staffs that are taking advantage of the limited contact time with players. Maybe the wheel doesn't need to be reinvented and that being on the field with players will help them bond as teammates, connect with coaches, learn some fundamentals, etc. (Were you not just discussing the importance of fundamentals the other day?) Or maybe practice is overrated in general and the team can just do everything remotely and just show up on game days. The CBA has limited the amount contact time allowed between players and coaches. And the Eagles have decided to further reduce the contact time even more than they are required to. That doesn't add up for me when football is the sport that has the greatest number of players on the field at a single time of any major sport, and has the greatest importance placed on each player on the field knowing exactly what they are supposed to do for any given play to be successful.

Wanting to limit wear and tear on players' bodies is certainly understandable and wise. Limiting classroom/study time? Are they afraid of strained or torn neurons? They claim to be professionals after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with everyone posting on social media it sure looks like they are just doing their own wear and tear away from the facility and coaches. Seems counter productive to let them work out on their own but your too afraid to have them work out at z multi-million dollar facility with a full coaching and strength & conditioning staff.

NCiggles Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 54 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: We looked at a few houses in Wake Forest, before we settled in Clayton. Now Clayton is like Cary was 20 years ago. Just a little more rif raf I think the town of Clayton itself is much smaller than Cary was 20 years ago. Cary was a city of about 100,000 20 years ago. I would imagine the county and surrounding are about the same size as Cary/Apex/Morrisville and Holly Springs were 20 years ago. One of the big things that has limited the growth was a change in the laws that allow for the expansion of cities in 2012. Essentially, city boundaries can only be done with consent or by the state legislature. A lot of Cary's growth was in the late 90's and early 2000s. When cities could not just incorporate new subdivisions, that slowed some of the growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When rookies report early, it equates to about three practices and pretty much the fundamentals. We would be talking five draft choices and some UDFAs, including Strong. Not sure I see that as a huge loss of opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
