Morey was a great hire. Perfect for him to eventually take what Hinkie built the foundation of. He's made some mostly solid moves since he's been here. He's missed on some but overall he has been impressive. Especially getting Harden for Ben Simmons regardless if Harden looks like he doesn't have much in his legs anymore.

He didn’t get Harden for Simmons, he got Harden for Simmons, Curry and Drummond. When he could have kept Curry and Drummond. Trading Thybulle who can’t score, Harris and his contract, along with Simmons for two 1st, Hield and Haliburton. Deeper, cheaper, younger and more athletic. More sustainable options. And then getting PJ Tucker at 30+ mil and the bands all back together. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you’re inconvenienced, but I’d rather be safe. I am not sure that it has directly thwarted terrorist attacks anymore than prior laws would have. It has been scaled back a few times since it passed. Some of the worst results of 9/11 were self inflicted. I mean we spent billions of dollars for a fake threat of WMD in Iraq. It was a waste of lives an money. It would not have happened without 9/11. The fact that laws were passed that impact our 4th amendment rights is problematic. We were willing participants because of the fear of another attack. The response was disproportionate to the risk and fear based rather than rational.

D-Shiznit Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Jordan Mailata rated as the Eagle's best player, 6th best Tackle in the NFL and 75th overall player. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-top-100-nfl-players-of-2022-aaron-donald-new-no-1-as-rams-have-three-of-top-10-aaron-rodgers-no-2/ Sky is the limit for Jordan, he can legitimately be the best OT in the league in short order.

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 And it's funny to think how many Eagles fans wanted to cut Mailata his rookie year. I say that because everyone who said "let's put him on the practice squad this year (and that was the prevailing sentiment) didn't seem to grasp the idea that you can't just put a player on the practice squad without him clearing waivers first. In other words, they would have to cut him first and hope no one would claim him. Which of course is precisely what would have happened. He'd have been claimed for sure. I also remember an outcry of sorts after Dillard was drafted the following year. "You see. This PROVES that Mailata sucks! What a waste of a pick. They were STUPID for thinking that was going to work out!" Pepperidge Farm remembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait for the games to start being played so we can all come back down to earth. I think the team would need 3 of the 4 for them to consider a Hurts extension: 1. He makes a significant leap as a passer. This doesn't just mean a higher completion percentage or more yards. It means above average accuracy, decision making/processing and production. 2. The team gets at least to the NFC Championship game. 3. The team wins the Super Bowl 4. There doesn't look like a better option for QB in the upcoming draft or trade.

I love Mailata...everyone does, but it's important that his areas of needed improvement not get lost in the hype. While his highlight reel downfield blocks are awe-inspiring, being a home run hitter isn't priority #1 for a LT. He lets speed rushers break through at a higher rate than most quality LTs. And while he has the athleticism and the ability to fix that, a handful of highlight reel blocks mean less to me than being more consistent in slamming the door shut on his outside shoulder. The best LT in the league is simply the guy with the lowest pressure % on pass block snaps (obviously allowing for level of competition and QB release time, which can't really be universally controlled and quantified). That's what this league is all about...and that's where he needs to get better. He will, but he's not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
